On the Lot
TexasLady:
UGH.. is this show not boring? Boot for Hilary I think. Best movie last night probably will go to Shalini. Apparently this batch of movies were their submission films, which surely is misleading to the audience when you think they are current attempts.
"The show's fallen far, fast. Last night we looked on as it tried to pass off five contestants' submission films as new, original content. (The show kept stressing that the shorts were written, shot, and edited in five days, as if to suggest that they were written, shot, and edited in the last five days, although behind the scenes, Fox has identified the movies as ''personal submission films'' in a PR release.) No doubt this saves production costs at the same time that it gives Fox time to figure out what it's gonna do about the show's Dumpster-diving ratings. Meanwhile, submission films? Three-minute movies that are good enough to get you on the show might be good enough to get you on the show, but that doesn't make them ready for prime time. At least last week's mini-comedies were born out of the creative pressure of a time limit. They had, you know, urgency. Last night's movies had the opposite; they took us backward.
Through the night, 5 of the 15 remaining contestants got up there and screened their submission films, and the judges pronounced this or that. (After the viewers vote, one person will leave at the beginning of next week's show.) As swiftly as possible, let's trot through all five. The bad news is that none of the shorts were great; the other bad news is that none were totally horrible either."

Because it is sort of (if not just IS) a bomb for Fox at least we get 2 episodes of Hell's Kitchen next Monday. :yess:

I am never one to criticize anybody's attire, but the host's top was so atrocious that I am breaking my rule one time. What was she (and the FOX wardrobe people) thinking?
The production of this show is just what I expect from FOX, i.e. crappy host, false drama, wasting a lot of your time, ridiculous judges.
The solution that I am adopting for the remainder of this show, and recommending to you, is to watch only the films on the www.thelot.com website as soon as the actual show on Tuesday night is over. You can even vote if you do so within 2 hours of the end of the show in your time zone. This way you can see just the films without all of the B.S. and judges commentary, which I find useless at best and totally wrong at worst (Gary Mashall telling Adam to have the baker and job applicant embrace at the end of that film).

Not impressed with the show anymore, I agree that the judges are terrible. I think I'm done watching this show!

Whatshername host is so memorable I can't even remember her name, or what she wore. :loser:
They need a Simon Cowell to say, 'That was RUBBISH!' or something along those lines when it is. I think they should have just had one monster finale and put the show out of its misery. I think I'm pretty much done with it myself.

I'm with you guys it painful to watch now. What happened to their original host Chelsea Handler? She just disappeared.
