Eeyore - True - votes don't always line up with "talent". But I think they do line up with appeal, which is a much more elusive animal! We see all the time on these forums how the appeal of one person/performance varies wildly among we viewers. I still don't think only the "industry" is voting, and that the average voter really doesn't give a hoot where the talent is from. The do care about what they see/hear, and certainly have opinions on that part. ('course, that's just my opinion - LOL!!)

Is this a test of a director? Or of a writer? How about giving all the directors the same script (just the lines and the scene) and seeing different interpretations of the same story? Now that would be a better test of how good of a film maker they are. Not fair if some is a good director but not a good writer.

Can somebody explain Jason's movie "The Move" to me? I'm totally lost about it.

I'll explain the movie to you if you can explain his hats to me.

The move: We are let to believe he's moving to do something life changing, a new job, going to college, moving in with a romantic partner, etc. but it turns out he's just kicking out a bad roommate (or playing a joke on him). that's my interpretation of the film, and I agree that it was a weak film. Acutally, none of the films tonight blew me away.

I liked Zach's sequel. The problem I had with The Move (other than it was stupid), was moving a drunk guy to the middle of nowhere is a frat boy prank. And Jerry O'Connell is a little long in the tooth to be playing a frat boy.

Thanks, Brenda. After the fact, I dawned on me it might be something like that. But at first I had no idea. I liked the sequel best too, but none were great.

I HATED Adam's dancing radio thing. It was a combination of his "guy who speaks through dance" original film, and Zach's "broken DVD player" themes. I thought it was bad that Zach did the sequel. I hated Will pushing the "my kids need to eat, I don't know WHAT I'll do if I don't win this" BS line. Any good parent wouldn't put their kids in absolute danger by taking such a risk. I want Will out ASAP. I also hate that Jason is America's favorite over and over again. His stuff is low-brow CRAP.

Is there anything you liked Eeyore? LOL! I tend to agree with much of what you said. Playing the sympathy card was an interesting strategy for Will. I also didn't understand why Zach did a sequel of a film that was weak to begin with. I wasn't impressed enough to vote for any of them.

I agree!! This is getting depressing. The films are getting worse, the hostess is, unfortunately, the same (interesting boobage last night...), and what is with the Marshall siblings??? Penny was wacked last night! I hated that she kept cutting off the guest director - Yeah, sure, she also directs stuff, but she was like a crazy woman last night! I really feel sorry for the guys that are left - they are getting very little valuable advice from that panel.

I know many have expressed this sentiment, but I must as well. THIS SHOW COULD HAVE BEEN SPECTACULAR!!! BUT THEY HAVE MADE IT SUCK. Someone should lose their job over the execution of this exciting idea for a tv show. I wish they would show a brief reminder clip of their movies before they tell us who is eliminated. I agree with what someone else posted...I like to support the film makers based on their body of work not just on their particular film that week. I don't mind the hostess, I don't love her but I think she gets a bit too much of the blame for the lameness of this show. I also didn't "get" The Move. How is Jason getting top votes? Maybe all of America has stopped bothering to vote, except for his mother and wife. My favorites last night were the Dancing to the car radio one and Backseat driving school. See, they are doing something wrong that I don't remember who did what movie. With American Idol, and So You Think you Can Dance, I wouldn't say "I liked such and such song last night" without remembering who sang it or danced to it. I agree that it would be interesting to give them all the same script and see what they do with it.

Am I just really out of the loop? Is Jerry O'Connell some huge star and I've missed it? Just seemed like everyone on the show was wayyyyy more impressed about Jerry than I was. I was all "Yeah, so?" Jason continuing to do well makes me sad for our country. Would love to see the actual numbers on the votes, The actors are turning out to be my favorite thing in this. I've really grown fond of some of them and enjoy seeing them do different things each week. And ITA with Spoton about Penny Marshall. That guest director was giving good feedback and saying some interesting things and she'd cut him off to get in her comments, a lot of which I didn't even understand. I think its more helpful for the contestants to hear constructive feedback that Penny's ramblings. Who'd have thought I'd actually miss Garry?

DOVEZ<shocked He was in the bottom two last week as well. I think that sequel did him in, particularly since the first part wasn't that great IMO. Everyone thought he was a shoo in at the start of the show, but I think he started to look like a one trick pony. He's young and he'll do fine without winning.

Boo. I'm not watching anymore. Doesn't help that Canadians were ineligible to vote. Sam should have been gone this week. In the end, it will be Jason vs. Will, IMO.
