Honestly — in the final scene, I definitely noticed the squinting.

I think it was pretty awful indeed, but I will say that most terrible comedies, the scenes seem to drag on forever and ever with misfired jokes, whereas this movie, it moved from scene to scene pretty quickly (albeit nonsensically), and it rarely seemed to get bogged down with attempted humor, so even as an…

If the show is not deceptively edited, the group handed in Jason's first draft. There was a meeting that said "This needs work," which led to something like 4-5 days, turnaround and hand it in on Friday. HBO came back to them on Tuesday or Wednesday and said "It's not ready", and they had to hand in a new draft by…

You need to have at least two or three friends who are into the show enough to hate-watch it with you, then you can do it.

She actually went so far as to say "I don't want to be considered for any of the other final scripts," which everybody in the room thought was ballsy. But then, as I recall, she didn't explain *what* she would do very well — she even said afterwards, "I messed up in the room" or something to that effect. She was…

I think he was surprised because Marc and Effie just spent six months talking about how Jason never says thank you for anything, so for him to say "I'll be thanking you for the rest of my life" was really out of nowhere. Especially since Marc never actually did ANYTHING for Jason. He didn't vote for him, he fostered…

I think everything Effie did "wrong" started with Jason, every step of the way. You can see that he turns on her the first time she says "No, we can't afford film," and then starts working to go around her, and then deliberately doesn't tell her about the Farrelly brothers meeting or meeting Affleck.

I can see "The Heartbreak Kid" in the ending. As in, I can imagine Jason watched "The Heartbreak Kid" and thought he was doing that.

He's passive because everything he does is react to other people's actions (or less). Anything that he is actively doing, the movie just has him say "This is what I am doing," so that undercuts the intent of them as non-passive activities.

Tom Bell made me laugh a few times, but when Carla the prostitute showed up, suddenly there was a two minute period when I could understand how the people making this thought they were making a comedy, and it even seemed as if multiple characters were in the same movie. Big step up when she came in. Totally agree.

I can't tell whether he and Effie don't get along because she is a woman (or, for that matter, because she is black), or because she is the person most directly responsible for telling him no and he is the person most incapable of hearing the word no. I kind of suspect it's the second one…

I don't entirely agree with you. Look at that interview; the director handed the DP a shot list at the beginning of the shooting day, the DP took it and broke it down into scheduling groups and then they went to set and gave it to everybody. So every single day, the entire crew had to estimate certain things without…

It's not just the schools; the schools all have their own diversity programs, so they actually let in minorities. But what happens is after school is, the people who are most likely to be able to do a favor and crew up somebody's shorts for free, giving up a whole week or even just an entire weekend, whatever, are…

You'd be surprised how long a person can live in Brooklyn without steady regular employment when they're young. If I were guessing, I'd say that he has an upper middle class family that might slip him money from time to time, probably puts in on his films, but I think that a lot of people through around the "trust…

Except that Effie specifically says, in the after-show [on On-Demand or HBO-Go] that even she thought the car would stick when it hit, and that the stunt looked significantly worse than she expected or wanted. [And she doesn't say it with the glee many might assume.]

I would bet anything that Jason is Jason's choice for editor, so he'll just see this guy as "my assistant editor".

Per a deleted scene posted on Facebook, she's his girlfriend. Although Jason makes a point about how they *both* put their careers ahead of the relationship.

I don't understand why they can't just get ADR for stuff like that. Take five minutes, read this sentence into a microphone, Jason. There's one right above you.

Project Greenlight shoots a minimum of ten hours of footage every day for six months. If Leisure Class shot twenty hours of footage in total, that would be a more than 10:1 shooting ratio, which seems high for a low budget (though video obscures that figure a bit). So Greenlight really can go through all the footage…

Being fair, once the decision was made to shoot the shot on the last day (bad decision), I understand how it got shifted like that. The entire day would've been built around timing the stunt at an exact time. And you couldn't do the driving stuff in the car after it had been in the accident, so that had to go first.…
