Hokay.First I have to "finish with episode 5... and I can't help myself, I went back to the BLOGS and here is my reaction..Dunstan you are such a tool...you try to wax poetic but you stand there and let JG get beaten up! And why? Not why does he get beaten up, but why do you stand by? Because you think you won't "make it'"? Now you know what evil is boy, and TEMPtation....What would have happend if you two or three of you would have had a human being attack and said " Hey! We are all here to do the same thing, right? we ALL want to succeed so , let's do everything we can to help each other ,not this constant one up man ship which just makes everyone look bad.... Meton -Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. And proof hindsight IS 20/20.

RE: Producers Yeah these guys are rocks all right, CM too! No one wants to be the bad guy instead its death by a thousand pin pricks...yeah you heard me! And note to CM, Try spending a little more time helping John out with the crew as opposed to devoting your entire BLOG to defending Michelle! Like you didin't see that footage before it cut together?

Episode 6:
OW, OW OW, OW,OW!

Diane is a woman of limitless patience and strength. Ok I apologize for not seeing her depth. Maybe she has , like way too much depth for Hollywood. As does JG, but hey she doesn't bull shit him , which is more than I can say for the 'producers" , and the 1st AD..What is his deal anyway? All hhe seems to do is stand around and smoke a lot, when he is not acting 14 years old, oh yeah I forgot that is a lifestyle now! Uh isn't his job to make the call sheets and g =watch out for the actors? WTF!

Go Clu Go! Kick butt , and John stop trying to rein in your da, man. It's not about you!

And yeah, finally some light is beginning to dawn on John when he remembers what he has to do , which is make a movie(as opposed to what ...) John is a man who can't get out of his own way. And sorry , never was a fan of this idea or this script. I guess I thought projectile alien vomit was funny when I was 12 , but somehow it has lost it's charm now that I'm advanced in age and with children!!!!!

I'm sure JG will make them the funniest bestest movie with projectile alien vomit...ever!

Oh my god - can it possibly get any worse??? Well...yeah.

Last Saturday we sat down and watched all five episodes back to back - H. hadn't seen any yet so we like watched in solidarity, you know? This, AFTER watching "Jeepers Creepers" I and II! If you haven't seen JP I and II - get them and enjoy!!

After that marathon I couldn't even bring myself to deal with episode 5 anymore. You know C. Moore is bummed cuz not enough people are watching the show??? Well, duh!! It's depressing as hell! I just do not want to hear about having to make the show "more dramatic". Maybe, just maybe had an effort been made to make the show representative of the entire process...an effort to show more of the making of the movie as opposed to the making of a soap opera...more people would watch the damn thing.

And yeah, Moore defending Michelle is just too, too lame. As if SHE needs anybody to defend her - she comes off as a backstabbing witch because that's what they asked her to do and she like obviously knows the role.

You know P. taped a series off Discover Times called "The Directors". It's excellent - everything the Project G. show could be but isn't. - I'll make copies and send to you. But guess what - this will kill you...the last episode they talk to the producer of Scream, talk to W. Craven etc - the producer talks about what Dimension tried to do to Craven - Dimension started giving them shit right away then said they didn't like the mask. They wanted Craven to shoot the opening scene with FIFTEEN different masks and then let them choose. Yeah. The producer, whose name escapes me told Dimension - No fucking way. We'll shoot the first few scenes, do a rough cut, send it to you and if you like it then you'll leave us the fuck alone and let us make this movie. And they did.

Can you dig it? Man, no wonder Craven had that sort of pepto bismal moment look on his face all the time. Now understand that 90% of each hour of each episode was about MAKING the movie and they intersperse these little people/business moments. Maybe I should send a copy to C. Moore.

Anyhoo - back to PG hell - Diane does completely rock - it's always a woman who steps up and says, "Yeah - here's the reality right now. Kinda sucks but there you are." (Diane - Virgin Goddess of the Moon - Divine: Latin)

And Clu - Man - wow. Guess he told them, eh? I felt bad cuz you know it's just painful watching people (read that AD) being stupid - and then watching them get squashed - deserved or not it's...ugly.

The script supervisor? Ouch. That was way ugly and yet so expected. And oh man - when the DP (and every frigging body else) wigs out over JG wanting to shoot down the bar THEN later that day...SHOOT DOWN THE BAR - I just went postal. You know the AD was all about accusing the script supervisor of "trying to be the director" when HELL - that's what half of them are doing. You know, next time, just pick a frigging script, hire this same crew and let them shoot the fucker. It will so be what you all deserve. They would have done better to let John edit the damn show - would have been more interesting I betcha.

I really gotta say - and this is sad - but I hope the movie does well for John and every body else be dammned. As for the writers - I don't know man. It would have been great to see them stick up for John and who knows, maybe they did and got slapped down for it. Either way it sure wasn't gonna show up in "the show".

It's extremely telling that the only thing we really have to talk about here IS the stupid show because they sure as shit don't show any movie making. And this week????We get to see Bay Watch babe tanked??? Jeez, I can hardly wait.
