Feast On This
It's not nearly as exciting as our run-in with half the reality universe a few weeks ago, but last night J-Unit, Madeyoulaugh, and I happened upon Project Greenlight scribe Marcus Dunstan at a party. We were very happy to hear that he and his writing partner Patrick Melton -- as well as soft-spoken bathtub fiend John Gulager -- all link to TVgasm via their websites, whatever they may be. Anyway, no real stories here. Marcus said Gulager would be showing up, but alas, the directorial wunderkind never appeared. Question: Why is it so fun to say "Gulager" instead of "Monorail" in The Simpson's Monorail Song? Gulager... Gulager...

I got the Blues, Clu

After last week's Prozac overdose inducing episode, I was hoping that Project Greenlight be a little bit less depressing in Episode 6. After all, the show made Entertainment Weekly's heralded "Must List" and is getting a small little buzz. TVgasm is recapping it, the New York Times has written a glowing review, EW is on board... Hey, Executive Producer Chris F'n Moore, how do you feel about all of this? "We need more people to watch the show... Project Greenlight is hurting now. Not because of the movie but because of the ratings of the show. Feast will turn out well but we need more people to watch. If you like Project Greenlight, tell a friend and get more people to watch. It would be a real shame if it turns out that we finally figured out the movie side and the TV show kills us..."

The Eric Dane Is My Hero!

If you were a flabby, pasty, middle-aged guy, would you:
- a) Wear brightly colored shirts tucked into pants that were pulled up to your ribcage?
- b) Purposely look like Flava Flav's retarded white brother (right), or
- c) allow television film crews access to your bathroom while you bathe in your dingy tub?
If you answered "none of the above," then you're no John Gulager, the eternally down-in-the-dumps first time director at the center of Project Greenlight's third season. For the second week in a row, we were treated to a bath time scene of a sulking, hunched over Gulager scrubbing grime from underneath his man-boobs. Seeing Gulager wallowing in his own filth and soaping his bloated torso is, I'm sure, more disgusting and scarier than anything we'll see in "Feast," the feature length movie he's been chosen to direct. I thought about starting a "Get John Gulager a showerhead" fund, but then I remembered I'm not a very nice person.
Q) What do Dimension Films and John Gulager have in common? [answer after the jump]

Catching Up With the Greenlight
[Doing guest coverage of Project Green light is sg-dub. You can read his blog at http://weakisht.blogspot.com/.]
Guesting for the first time on tvgasm to recap a show about first time writers and directors is, I think, rather fitting. Being new 'round these parts, I have set my goal pretty low: I only hope to do better than the first two Project Greenlight movies did. At the very least, I promise I won't squander the $2,000,000 retainer tvgasm paid me - at least not right away.
As b-side mentioned in a recent post, this season of Greenlight has some serious potential. Of course, at the time of this writing it is now 4 episodes old, so we've got some catching up to do. Some changes are in place for this, the third season of Greenlight. Miramax has shifted the blame - er, responsibility - to it's subsidiary, Dimension Films. HBO, apparently intent on showing only quality original programming, also dumped the cursed show so it is now seen on Bravo. The channel change means that the show will have no more nudity and no more cursing yet will retain all the suck we've come to expect. Hooray.
