Just a reminder for those who still watch this show, it's on tonight instead of its regular Tuesday slot.

I'm actually getting tired of the show, particularly the hostess and Carrie Fisher.  Fisher may be a great director, but she's irritating to listen to.  The hostess (I can never remember her name) is a dull and phony person who looks like she wears Paris Hilton's clothing rejects.

My favorite short tonight, btw, was Will's Spaghetti.  Zach's backward tale was amusing.  Hilary's western tale didn't have the 'when world's collide theme.  Adam's global story was clever.  And I didn't think that Shalini's short was preachy.

I totally agree about Adrianna's wardrobe. It's been bugging me from day one. I'm not into fashion at all, but even I think those are some hideous outfits. She looks better when she shows up to tell us who's going home.

My favorite was Adam's "worldly posessions", but it was a close one between that and The donkey tail one. I thought that one was cute. There's someone out there for everyone.

Zack had a clever idea. The other two were forgetable, IMHO.

I think tonight was good and I'm glad Fox is proving that article wrong by showing behind-the-scenes of all of the films.

If you notice, the week after that article was posted about how everything is rigged and that Fox isn't putting any money into new films, the show started making a big deal about the films to come in the next week, and started showing the crews and stuff at work a lot more, and they started making posters and junk...and the host kept making a big deal about how Fox is providing them with professional actors and stuff.

Anyway, my favorite two was Worldly Possessions (though at the beginning, the rich guy sounded like his voice had reverb ha ha) and that western film by the bald guy. That was awesome.

Shira-Lee's GONE??

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!  Man, this show can lick my balls.  She was the only reason I was actually enjoying it.  Now I'm mad.  Here's what I thought of tonight's stupid movies or whatever:

TIME UPON A ONCE: It was fun for a couple minutes, but I felt it dragging toward the end.  I don't know how that's possible in a 3 minute film, but that's what I felt.

THE LEGEND OF DONKEY-TAIL WILLIE: Good production level, but it didn't stand out at all.

SPAGHETTI: Fun film.  Needed that bang ending like the guest judge said, but overall it was neat.

FIRST SIGHT: Didn't like this one at all.  I felt like it tried to shove itself up my left nostril.

WORLDY POSSESSION: Hate to say it, but Peanut Head's was my favorite.  Good visuals, great acting, very stylish.  Best of the bunch.

So, now they're voting off two at a time, huh?  I guess they're trying to get it over with as soon as possible since the ratings are sinking with each progressing week.  Whatever, man.  I'm still voting for Shira-Lee.  I don't know how, but I am.  She's still the winner in my eyes.  So there.

I'm gonna go watch Gordon Ramsay scream at people now.

Just caught this week's batch.

1. SPAGHETTI
Best of the bunch in my mind. It had great acting and visuals and a really funny concept. Great execution from Will.

2. WORLDLY POSSESSIONS
It's too bad this contest isn't about finding the best filmmaker, because Adam Stein is definitely one of the most talented people on the lot. People care more about star-quality and TV personality than actual merit. He'll never win, but he deserves to be among the top 3. A great effort here, although I would've included a joke about destroying a country the didn't like by putting a thumb down on the globe.

3. TIME UPON A ONCE
Zach's weakest film, IMO. Still a good little film, but nowhere near what he has done in the past.

4. THE LEGEND OF DONKEY TAIL
This was boring, unfunny and unengaging. Bland. There was no clever pay-off.

5. FIRST SIGHT
God, I actually turned this one off a few seconds before it ended. I HATE preachy garbage like this. If I wanted sap I'd watch after-school specials from the 80s.

I didn't like First Sight, but what ticked me off is that the judges said they hate preachy garbage but the didn't mind her other film that was preachy for homosexuality.

I'm not saying anything bad or anything. I'm just pointing that out that they're talking out of both sides of their mouths because it's two different morals. One fits their agenda, one doesn't.

Again, not trying to start anything. Just pointing that out.

I actually agree. Now I'm pro-gay rights and all that, but nevertheless I hated her film because it was so blatantly propagandistic. The fact that I agree with the message doesn't make it any less so.

Next why don't we make a film about how Nazis are bad and puppies are cute?

Preachy garbage is preachy garbage. And Preachy garbage is always evil.  

Ya know, one of the mysteries of the world is whether networks have a say in who wins these dream competitions.  After tonight, however, it's obvious that OTL is 100% based on America's vote, as it's all dudes the rest of the way.

I guess it's not that big of a deal for this show anyway, seeing as it has about 6 regular viewers across the country.

KEY WITNESS: This was lackluster.  Like Antoine said, it could have had some very humorous sequences but they were missed.  The only thing I liked about this piece was when the two guys dive into the dumpster and then shut it just as the bad guy lands on it.  Aside from that I was confused for most of the picture.

SWEET: Best of the bunch, I think.  As Antoine also said, action doesn't need to be blood and violence and Jason showed that this week.  Very enjoyable piece.

ZERO2SIXTY: This one was entertaining, as all of Andrew's films are, but this also was kind of awkward.  It started out great, but once the car salesman took out that gun I was just out of it.

THE LOSERS: Well, like last time, this is Kenny's best piece, but that's not saying much.  He's more of style over substance, and his style is just really, really odd.  The action was creative, but the film itself was strangely bizarre.

CATCH: I liked this one.  Could have had a little more action, but it was fun and had a good ending.  Enjoyable.

If I had to pick who was going home, I'd say Kenny and Sam.  

Kind of sad to see only guys left...

I thought SWEET was the best one as as well.

ZERO2SIXTY was second for me. I thought it was made really well. I bet the guy that played the salesman is someone we'll se more of in the future. He was really good. My only problem with this short film however was that it felt very much like a commercial. A very high-end commercial, but still...

The other films were forgettable IMHO.

"I guess it's not that big of a deal for this show anyway, seeing as it has about 6 regular viewers across the country."
I think I know all six of them.  

I don't get the point of watching it if you have a fast Internet connection. You can go on the website and see the full episode, but why even do that? Why not skip out on the beautiful yet horrible host, the boring "suspense" building, and Carrie Fishers dumb judging and just watch the contestant videos, see who was rejected, watch their exit video, and be done.

You save precious minutes of your life. ha ha.

Quoted from tomson Kind of sad to see only guys left...

I too was saddened to see that the entire final eight were all men. Sadly, though, I have to agree with the assessment. The last two women I saw on the program were not very good.

In fact, I’ve been very disappointed in the women’s performances throughout this. Shira-Lee was the only female contestant who really showed promise. I was surprised to see her go when the other women were so lackluster in comparison.

The guys haven’t all been so hot either. The guy who wanted to do his own stunt should be voted off in my opinion. He demonstrated to me that he’s immature and willing to sacrifice the quality of his finished product for a thrill. And arguing with a professional stunt coordinator? That was just wrong. Taking over as DP on part of the project was stupid - and it showed in the final product. I saw at least one clear lighting change between two shots that made it look like it suddenly switched to a completely different movie. That guy should go.

Who did that?

Sounds like Kenny.

Quoted from Death Monkey Who did that? Sounds like Kenny.

I don’t know his name but it was the skateboard one.

Yeah, that was the one and only Kenny.  I think his past 2 movies he's actually argued with people on his set and in turn they've said some negative things about him in the "behind the scenes" portions.  I thought it was just a coincidence when he was arguing with his co-directors on that first group assignment, but it seems that this guy is just a nazi on all of the sets.  Not to mention that his directing skills are little to none.

Amen.  Shira-Lee is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th Wonders of the World.
