But Clu was simply trying to vocalize what his son couldn't/wouldn't, and this was after seeing John get all emotional talking with the fired Script Supervisor. Clu obviously had enough of it and wasn't scared to let people know. You da MAN, Clu!

I'm glad Clu ripped that prick AD a new one. John should tell the DP and AD to SHUT THE FUCK UP and quit being little bitches everytime he has a suggestion about a shot.

John needs to be "THE DIRECTOR". He needs to tell them what to do. It seems he is always asking, "What do you think about doing this?" It's his vision. He needs to tell the DP "Can you do what I ask you without the argument?"

I liked the Mr. Smarty Pants line. Although it was juvenile, it really spoke to their working relationship.

I never thought I'd say this, but this show needs Pete Biagi. At least he worked with the director, instead of against him.

I think if the AD and DP would just do what Gulager wanted them to do, the time saved in arguing about it would probably allowed them to make their day without all the drama. Oh wait, maybe that was the point...

Very good (Great!) episode.

Good to see the producers say "apparently John's vision is the right one. this is turning out way better then we thought"

A very positive screening for the actors.. brought on because the producers liked what they saw.

A very positive response from the studio who felt like this was very good.

A very positive response from outside investors.

None of the other project greenlights had this kind of thing (in fact, they all wrapped in disasters with studios openly saying they hated or rejected or needed major reworks..)

I loved it when they finally had to say "really, it's all about John he figured it out.."

Just finished watching my recording, and it was a fun episode.

That Krista Allen got a lot of face time, but I doubt it's the kind that's good for a career. I doubt it'll have any long-term effect on her marketability.

I wonder if any of the divorce between Disney and the Weinsteins will impact the release of this movie.

The previews for next episode dealing with post-production look funny as hell as Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Gulager can't seem to stay awake during the editing process.

Yeah, he was in one of those chairs and went rolling over backwards.. and apparently, a fight it out over Ben Affleck being told he could come see a private screening, which upsets Chris Moore.. Chris, get over yourself honey.

John gets interviewed:

http://goldenfiddle.com/2005/04/29/feast/#more-333

One of my favorite clips:

Quote:
FIDDLE: Are you getting offers?

GULAGER: People are sending scripts, but I’m not that interested. But people are saying they could raise money. One really nice girl actually sent me some money. for whatever reason. But I’m going to send it back. I just thought that was really sweet.

Actually, from my understanding, John will be doing another bit for Weinsteins new company later this year, and has received an offer sheet from them; so not bad (puts him way ahead of anyone in the past PGL)

Gulager! Gulager!

Ha! It's good to see the people walk out of a rough draft showing at Dimensions and say "this is really good"

Far better then Season2's deafening "uh, we need to rework this to be a comedy.." or Season1s "we'll see if we can get it into maybe.. oh, 6 theaters?" Comparison to something distribution and promotion are excited about

Good stuff last night - I wonder what Bob's reaction will be? Everyone else, so far, has liked it.

Looking forward to seeing this in theaters!

Oh and Chris Moore, come on! Pure EGO at work there. When he said "I don't need an invitation" I was thinking then why are you bitching about not getting one.

I think they lead you up to "oh, what can happen?" But in the preview for next week, they show everyone excited and going to a party being thrown for them in Vegas. I get the feeling if Bob thought this was a steaming pile of crap, the Maloofs and others would not be throwing a party for the film.

BTW, Feast was one of four properties chosen by the Weinsteins for them to take with them after the split with Disney.

One more note, taken from the MST3k fan site:

Quote:
And, 3, yes, we know that Bravo's Project Greenlight featured one John Gulager, who turns out to be none other than the son of actor Clu Gulager, star of the movies in episodes 322- MASTER NINJA I and 614- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL, and that Clu actually made an appearance at one point--it just struck us as a bit too "six degrees of separation" for us.

When he was yelling and swearing at that poor assistant, I felt like kicking his teeth in. Ego is right! So is unprofessional.

Chris....GROW UP!
And did everyone catch Navi's "acting range" in those three clips?! Looking back, John's girlfriend/wife would have made a MUCH better choice!
"If I bought you an Armani suit would you wear it to the premiere?" I thought that was a very touching moment in the show. Obviously, Clu was very proud of his son.

I'll laways have a soft spot in my heart for Clu since he starred in the immortal "Return of the Living Dead," so I have to admit that I'm hopeful that things turn out well for John.

However, I'm not sure it will since the first draft of the screenplay wasn't too pretty. All of the innovativeness wears off after page 20 and it just degrades to a typical horror film replete with bad cliches (not used as postmodern humor) and stale scares. Hopefully the rewrites spiced the last two acts up a bit.

Great episode, good to see John totally in control, the studio get furiously behind the film and start talking about a wide (1,000+ screen) release with more money coming in.. never thought I'd see that on a PGL! Great ep.

Damn, Gulager's balls descended, finally, over the course of this process.

Couldn't believe this was the end of season 3, but still, a very positive way to go out.

Must see more of Jenny Wade, who reminds me a little bit of Kathryn Morris (Cold Case).

So was that the final episode?

You know what would have been great as the intro for the monsters? The profile. They could've had the monster eating the coyote or whatever, then show the profile right after: "Origin: Who gives a f*ck?"

I love this guy's digressions in that interview:
Quote:
I've been getting scripts now, but I haven't really found anything that I want to do. I have this idea of going up to Portland [Oregon] and make this movie about lap dancers because I know some people who live up there in Portland. They used to have these glass booths up there, where the girls would get inside the glass booths and put on sex shows, but I'm not sure if they have that anymore.
And then MTV just cuts him off to the next question

I'm not sure if anyone checked out Chris Moore's blog on Project Greenlight, but it appears that the show is officially ended due to poor ratings:
Quote:
Last night was probably the last new episode of Project Greenlight ever. I am sorry to be reporting this here, but anyone reading this blog is a devoted and loyal Project Greenlight fan. You have been loyal and vocal and true fans of what we have tried to do, so I want you all to know the truth first. Although the movie FEAST awaits release, the ratings of this year's Project Greenlight show will not warrant bringing the show back. It is possible that Dimension will do the movie again, which could mean there is a contest again next year. However, my gut is telling me that without the whole three-headed monster of the TV show, contest and film, there is little chance of Project Greenlight continuing.
Here's his full entry on the subject:

Considering it switched nights during the season and the Thursday night lineup for Bravo was:
7 PM West Wing
8 PM West Wing
9 PM West Wing
10 PM West Wing
11 PM Project Greenlight

I am not at all surprised there were no ratings. Who would air a show at 11 PM and expect ratings?

It was 10 pm on the East Coast, but I agree that there wasn't much chance of good ratings in that slot. Of course, they may have taken that into account, which is really depressing.

I love this show, so this is sad news indeed. Also, with the ratings, and Feast delayed, the chances of a DVD set that includes the movie seem remote.

Go Gulager!
