First impressions of FOX's On The Lot
2007-05-30 08:37:00 In a world of blogging about NASCAR and Automobiles, its time for a little something different for me, I enjoy movie, mainly DVD's and HBO, so this... Fox's newest reality filmmaking show called "On The Lot" got my attention. First impressions were they have an interesting concept, I don't know how Fox does there American Idol show in terms of two nights with a result show, but this one the concept is good, but they try to create more drama for the people going home then they really need and the timing of the breaks suck.I starting watching this one on the first night with 50 contestants going for the top prise of a dream job at Dreamworks Pictures. The elimination process was quick, the first two night with 50 to start with pitching a new show, making a short film in groups of three with each director getting judged on a seen they shoot and more. From 50 to 36 and down to 18 for last Monday's show and after last night's results show, 3 more went home as well. Now you get to se...

On the Lot: Week 1: The Trimming of the Fat
2007-05-28 22:02:00 Filed under: 20th Century Fox, Home EntertainmentJust like the first few rounds of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire are riddled with questions like "Who was the first U.S. President?" and "How do you spell cat?" the first few episodes of any new reality series is going to be jam-packed with wheel-spinning and fat-trimming. We started On the Lot with fifty prospective filmmakers, and after less than 90 minutes of televised competition, we're now down to precisely 24.Yep, more than half the contestants (most of whom never even receive any camera time) are gone in less than 90 minutes and, based on what we've seen thus far, the remaining contestants are convinced that movie directors do nothing besides point a camera, shush people and behave like jerks. In episode one, the players were required to deliver a "pitch" to our judges (Carrie Fisher, Garry Marshall, Brett Ratner) and all of them were awful. Then everyone got paired up into teams of three and were sent out to do a three-scene ...
On the Lot
2007-05-23 23:17:00 I was first exposed to the fine craft of filmmaking back in the Summer of 1985, as I accompanied my cousin, Philippine actor and senator Bong Revilla, around Metro Manila in the Philippines as he starred in up to three films at one time. Back then, my grandfather was the manager of the family's studio, Imus Productions, and he always encouraged me to go with Bong on a shooting. Finally, I took him up on the offer and climbed into Bong's green Ford Econoline van, not knowing what to expect at a shooting location. I had never been exposed to any kind of on scene location shooting until that summer. Fresh out of high school, I was naive to most things that had anything to do with making movies, and I am still to this day for the most part, unaware. The scene I remember the most involved Bong getting roughed up and taken to a "safe house" where he was roughed up some more. I watched an actress do a sexual assault scene in a room that although full of lights and filled with soun...

10 Things I'd Do If I Won the Lottery

Man Discovers He?s Won the Lottery After Reading the Local Newspaper!
2007-02-28 02:24:02 Ed O’Neill, a worker for the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, found out through a co-worker that he had won $800,000 in the Powerball lottery. O’Neill said that he didn’t think to check the ticket for the Powerball drawing until a receptionist showed him an article in a local newspaper talking about how someone hadn’t claimed the money yet. O’Neill said, “She said, ‘Read this article about the idiot that hasn’t claimed his ticket.’ So I read it and noticed where the ticket was bought,” then he said “I thought, ‘Gee, I better look at my ticket.’ That’s when I said, ‘I think I won.’” Once he found out he called to tell his wife. She of course thought he was lying and responded saying “quit horsing around. I’m watching Oprah.” Once she found out the truth she became ecstatic.
