"Finale 18 results show - thoughts?" |
Well, first off, I hated the stupid Ryan Seacrest impersonation with the whole - "American voted", and "we'll find out...after the break".I was pretty surprised by who went home. 1. Modern child birth (Carolina) 2. Blind date/farting (Claudia) 3. Break in (Phil) Claudia wasn't much of a surprise - but who the heck voted for Kenny? And Jason not only survives, but makes the top three? This is going to be a wild ride! I hope this show survives!

LAST EDITED ON 05-30-07 AT 09:59 AM (EST)He's VFTW pick from Prof. Chen...he saved Kenny with his 2 votes! HA! http://votefortheworst.com/blogs/professor_chan/20070529/lot_2b_circling_drain The result show was baaaaad and so is Adrianna...she is trying to be the female Ryan Seacrest and it is failing miserably...how freakin sad is that... I wasn't too surprised by the boots (really any of like 12 of them would have been fine) but did you notice they are all foreign born...Spain, Italy, Britain... The results show could have been easily 15 minutes and they could have shown more SYTYCD auditions... and did you know that Penny Marshall is a woman director?

emydi and others..Totally agree! I HATE that woman who is the host. She is awful, completely lacking charm, stupid, and she misprounced names or terms at least three or four times (including Carrie Fisher...wtf??)She is simply so awful that I could barely take watching the show.And, yes, what is with all the dramatic pause crap after saying all the director's names as we know if they are not the last two or three they are safe. It was so very, very lame. I really hate shows where "America" votes as it becomes some stupid popularity contest, often for the wrong reason (ie, hello Sanjaya) and good people get let go. Now, I will only watch because I want to see the work that is done by the directors..but could somebody fire that awful host? Gawd, where is Donald Trump when you need him (You're fired!) LOL...

Because of the FOX voting setup (unlimited voting for those with the patience to sit there and vote over and over online, dialing and texting) the votes will be Idol-like. Expect women to get voted out first, then less attractive men. Kenny has a big fan base. He gets the underdog vote because he didn't go to film school. If you visit thelot.com, his entry film is top 5 of films viewed and top 5 of films talked about. That film is excellent. So it isn't surprising he made it through this week, but now he needs to bring a good film with mainstream appeal to the screening next week. If he does that, he'll gain more momentum. If he doesn't, the "buzz" around him may fade. I half-expected Marty Martin to get cut because he comes off as very smug and he didn't follow the instructions. I wasn't surprised about the 3 who left. I was surprised the woman who made the bad film about peeing on the bus made it, and that "Getta Rhoom" won - yikes! The results show needs to be 30 minutes only. It's not like Idol or Dancing, where you can have guest singers or dancers as filler. And the host of the show is simply awful!

Well, what suprised me is the guy who didn't do the assignment at all..he is the one that did the trailor....and the judges sorta praised him!
So once again, are we watching a show where certain people get pimped by the judges????
He should have been kicked offby the judges.....everyone else did as assigned yet he gets to go on? shakes head

Production wise, it had some problems. First off, by the time the ousting got to the third row, we all knew that the first directors mentioned were the "safe" ones -- why drag it out as suspense? Secondly, the empty chairs made a nice little line down the center, so now we know that whoever sits center stage gets the axe. Since this isn't AI: peel the second show down to half an hour, and put all of us (including the contestants) out of our misery orkeep the show an hour, and split the show into "loser go home" for the first half and "winners, here is your next assignment" for the second half.I'm baffled at the Wacky Cab being a winner; I agreed with Gary when he said "you were way out there, and no one was with you." lol I'm even more baffled at "Screw in a light bulb" winning. When we first saw her profile before they aired it, she said "It's a metaphor." I turned to ra and said, when you have to TELL someone beforehand that it's a metaphor, it's going to suck. I'll buy dinner to the first person who can tell me what the metaphor is -- because I still have not figured that out. I watched "Ghetta Room" again, and paid better attention to the actor. I don't care what the director says - that character WAS meant to impress as slow. From the blank look in the eyes, to the rather pasted on smile, to the speech impediment, this guy was NOT a nerd. However, the premise of this short was a good one; it was just bad directing of the actor. Interesting that the guy who didn't follow directions made it through. He'd most likely can an actor for not following directions, right? THAT would destroy his vision. As trailers go, it was pretty good, but it was not the comedy short it was supposed to be. I like this show, but you cant pimp a director the same way you can a singer or a dancer. Please fix the second shows problems, MB!

12. "RE: Finale 18 results show - thoughts?" |
Just got in on the last 20 minutes, and I'm still wondering if this will last or not.I do hate that they are taking off on the AI style-even my hubby, who was in the kitchen, when he heard the "America Voted" speel, said to me 'is THAT on again???'. It's just dumb! We are not stupid people! Move on and try to be original! You're directors, already! I, too, having only seen 'Ghetta Rhoom' once, saw it very clearly that the male actor WAS down syndromed, or similar, and NOT a nerd. Nerds don't repeat themselves for the heck of it, or stand in front of a bus. Only people who are mentally challenged, and wouldn't know better would do that, because of their child-like faith, and, well, you know. Not going there, so as to not look biased in any way!!! BECAUSE, I was slightly apalled by that particular short clip. He was NO Nepolian Dynamite-more like Leo Dicaprio in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'. Just my opinion, once again. I can see where the judges felt offended the first time-just don't get the change of heart the 2nd time. Oh well.....sometimes things hit you differently when you've seen them at different moments, under different circumstances.

I actually was surprised at all three boots. Not one of those three films were the worst of the bunch (I'd give those to Kenny's wacky taxi, the peeing on the bus one, and "How to Screw in a Lightbulb"). I was particularly bummed that of the women, Carolina and Claudia went first -- both of their films were beautiful to look at and showed a lot more creativity and talent than either Jessica the film student or the chick that did the peeing on the bus film. There were several other of the men's films which were equally as problematic as Phil's stuck on hold bit -- the mini golf one and "File Size" for instance. I think the reason that these three went first had little to do with the quality of their films and everything to do with the format of the voting -- it favors the young, geeky, internet savvy guys who I'm sure have tons of friends lined up to pump out the online votes for them. This probably helped film school Jess as well. Meanwhile, the European contestants are disadvantaged by the time-difference and cost of overseas calling, even if they could have organized a "voting block." I think the voting for this show should be more like Dancing with the Stars, where votes are limited by the number of contestants still in the running and there is a Judge component to who goes. This would limit the impact of multiple votes for peoples "friends" and actually give the less well-connected but more talented directors a shot to stick around. Plus, I really hated the format of the elimination -- other than the top three and the bottom three, you had no idea how the others stood in relation to the rest. You didn't even know if the person who was saved from the "bottom two" in each row was really in the bottom -- to me it looked like they paired the real bottom person with a random person who the judges criticized in order to provide suspense, which I found annoying and manipulative. I really wanted to like this show, but the voting format, the annoying host and the terrible set up of the results show has dampened my enthusiasm. For now I'll keep watching, since there's really nothing else on right now, but the show's hold on this particular reality t.v. fanatic's viewership is tenuous to say the least.

23. "RE: About the voting..." |
LAST EDITED ON 05-31-07 AT 00:21 AM (EST)I couldn't even get online to the site. Annoying! I wanted to vote for the Danger Room direct but I'm glad he made it. I think Carolina who directed Childbirth got lost amongst all of the films because it wasn't memorable enough. Her movie played right after the Dancing guy and what was more memorable of course. I don't think she should have gone as others were worse. Like the bus one. Also the Cab director had a more young hip vibe to his video despite the bad delivery and might have garnered the youth votes. Who's the most gifted director? Hard to say right now but I think the Danger Room, Dancing Guy, Lucky Penny, Soft, and Airport Lady show the most promise. But that's jmo.
