I liked the first episode. Then the rest sucked.


I honestly thought this show was going to be about how to make movies. I really want to learn how to make film. I watched the first episode where they showed people giving pitches and showed them picking locations to shoot and such. I loved the first episode. Then, I tuned in later to find that the show was no longer, "Watch how these people make movies" and it became "Watch these crappy short films and tell us which ones sucked the least" I stopped watching and hated the show with a passion. I cursed at the television. Most of the films were a bunch of retarded nonsense. I don't want a half hour of retarded nonsense. I want a half hour of, "This is what goes into making a movie" I am honestly glad that this show has failed. I hated what changed after the first episode. If the show had remained like it was for the first episode, I would have watched it, but, I say, "On the Lot shall fail!"

This is my signature, It's freakin' brilliant isn't it?

I totally agree. But then again, I got the ultimate sinking feeling when Brett Ratner showed up in the first episode. Strangely enough, he was not the low point for this miserable program.

That's exactly what I thought! I thought it was going to be like The Apprentice or something, where there would be team drama and stuff but it completely ruined any niche appeal it had when it just turned into a lame short-film-hour.

I hope that someone out there tries to do it again, but does it right.
