PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"A commercial for Ford" |
Come on, hasn't any one noticed that this show is just a huge drop in ad for Ford products. Previously we had "When two worlds collide" Cave man meets new world folks and zooms around in a Ford crap can Mustang while the passengers admire the stereo and plush interior. Last night we were exposed to a cop and and a sales man from Ford zooming around with the same drop in comments about cup holders and performance. All the while the Ford logo was displayed front and center.What a bunch of BS. It's just another example of marketing media types finding away to drop more ads into a time slot. I don't for a second think this is a real competition and the winner was decided before the first episode was launched. What held me in interest now disgusts me and I will watch it no more

Awwwwwwwww Crock, I hope this doesn't mean you will never post again. We like new people here at RTVW!I agree that this show is in it's death throes, which is a shame since so many of us thought this was a great idea. These are last nights ratings: #1: America's Got Talent (#1: 6.0/11 at 8:00 p.m.; #1: 6.6/12 at 8:30 p.m.; #1: 7.0/12 at 9:00 p.m.) #2: NCIS (R) (#2: 5.2/10 at 8:00 p.m.; #2: 5.4/9 at 8:30 p.m.) #3: Just for Laughs (series debut) (5.0/9 at 8:00 p.m.) / Just for Laughs (5.3/9 at 8:30 p.m.) #4: On the Lot (1.5/3 at 8:00 p.m.; 1.5/3 at 8:30 p.m.) #5: Gilmore Girls (R) (1.0/2 at 8:00 p.m.; 1.0/2 at 8:30 p.m.) Pulling in a 1 5/3 rating is not going to help keep it on the air. But there are plenty of other reality shows you can come help us snark!

"This show is supposed to be about a competition where in competitors create movies and are judged accordingly. The fact that Ford is sponsoring the movie created means that the movie is influenced and is not real. This is a lie."First of all, Andrew could have used ANY car dealership, or even a used car dealership, and the film would STILL have had enough plot holes to drive a Ford/Chevy/Dodge van through. The fact that we all couldn't miss the Ford product placement does not make this a bad film; bad continuity, acting, pacing, and editing problems made this a mediocre film. The only thing that might not be "real" in this, is that he chose a car that was not up to snuff when used in a pursuit. But again, how many action films do you go to, where you are not suspending reality? "Also after it's played the judges critique it like it's real. This is a lie. The presenter stands there accepting the critique like it's real. This is a lie."
1. Reality tv is scripted. That's not lying, that's just reality tv. You can't call it lying when they actually name a writer in the credits. All the reality tv shows have writers credits at the end of the show, and more importantly, EDITORS. 2. The judges DO critique the films, their mouths are moving and everything. The fact that judges say some stupid stuff (and they do) does not mean that the critique is fake -- its just stupid. 3. The presenter stands there and accepts it, and they DO listen. Will actually put dialog in his last film, Hilary paid attention to details the judges said she was missing in hers, and Mateen very definitely stepped away from his penchant for "black hood message films" this week. So how is the critique a lie? "The fact the all of this goes on means that the entire show, it's concept, and the people involved are all players in a marketing ploy and it's all fake."
Well, the first rule in television is "make money." It's the rule for ANYTHING we watch on TV. So yeah, marketing is a big deal to these people. However, the directors who got involved in this show were not "played" by the show itself. If anything, their work has suffered not due to some rather bad movies, but from the producers not really thinking the production of this show through, deciding that the AI format would work for this type of show, choosing questionable judges, and hiring a hostess that may be talented on CNN, but is not right for this job. They also should have really, really looked into the demographic audience for this show, which I believe is very selective and small. And lastly, they were relying on the names Burnett and Spielberg to overshadow the obvious problems with the show. But don't say that the contestants on this show are "fake" they were people looking to find an "in" in a very competitive field.

Well, as I said in my reviews for this week: This was a blatant Ford in-show advert that's even more overt than the ones you see in American Idol. I hate to say it, but modern Fords (even Mustangs) aren't that good in chases. To begin with, the suspension needs more work for fast cornering. I'll take a '68 Charger RT/440 4-barrel or the '68 Mustang GT390 any day of the week (fast as a Bullitt, if you're a serious car chase flick fan). "We pay cash." Yeah, right, as if I've got $39,000 handy to fork over for a 2007 Ford Shelby Cobra GT500, and that's without the options - like this flick. Minus half a star because it's a lame 3-minute Ford commercial. A Sharnina Production
Product placements are so pervasive, they've become invisible to my eyes.
