I was disappointed to see a Southern boy make a blunder like that. I knew what he was trying to do, but I also saw that it didn't come off right. I hope people will forgive him and let him stay on for a bit.

Sorry Pia, but I think your good ol' boy is going home tonight.

At least all the contestants can put "you're a very talented filmmaker.- "Carrie Fisher" on their resumes.

As opposed to "you're a very talented singer."  Paula Abdul?

I only watch Survivor and this, so I have no idea what Paula Abdul does.
I thought she was married to Arsenio Hall.

i think the nerd film was made with good intentions but i think it was executed wrong. i felt bad for the guy. i dont think he set out to make a an attack on mentally challenged people.
for the record,  i have a cousin who has a mental disability...

that Taxi film was by far the worst... that was just annoying

I don't think he was trying to be offensive. Saying that is like saying Norbit is offensive to fat people.

I don't think he was trying to be offensive.  I don't think he was trying to portray the character as a mentally challenged person.  But that's what happened.


Phil

well not only did america not find it offensive they put him in the top 3...

wow.

I watched this for the first time tonight. It was fun to watch something that pertains to something I’m interested in.

The guy with the Safety Lab film, I was wondering if the judges could kiss his ass anymore. I mean, it was okay but I didn’t think it was that good - not good enough for the judges to just keep shamelessly kissing his ass. And Carrie Fisher asked him to marry her daughter? Ugh. How tacky.

The hostess should be fired. She’s just awful. She must have slept with somebody pretty powerful to get that job. She didn’t get it based on her talent, I’m sorry.

Since it was my first time, I only got to watch the encore films, the Safety Lab movie, the supposedly offensive movie, and I’ve already forgotten the other one. I just couldn’t believe how non offensive the supposedly offensive movie was. People need to toughen up if that’s what they found offensive. I mean, come on. It was stupid and it really had no business being in the top three. I suspect it was only there because the judges made such a fuss and the viewing public wanted to set them straight.

The other one wasn’t good enough for me to remember.

Overall, I love the idea of the show. I can’t help but feel a little embarrassed however that these are the best they could find. They're fine directors but they need writers badly.

Looking back at my post, it’s possible I was too rough on them. I’m sure they all worked really hard and did their best. It was also a one minute comedy which I know must have seriously challenged them. I know they had professional crews at their disposal. It appeared they had an actor pool to draw from as well. Does anyone know if they had to write their own stuff or if they had any writers at their disposal as well?

It almost doesn’t seem fair not to give them some writers to work with.

Alright, I'm a bit confused now. How many episodes have aired so far and when's it on? I don't get Fox so I have to rely on somebody putting up the episodes on the internet.

4th episode. there were two piliminary episodes... last nights viewing of all the final 18 directors' films and today's elimination.

Last night's episode was the fourth.

The directors had to write this week's script, as well as last week's.  I missed the second episode and don't know if they showed their first assignments.


Phil

So the episode where Obnoxious Jeff and Obnoxious Marty butted heads in the all-night editing session and Jeff subsequently was sent home was the second episode, right?
