Great Behind the Scenes Look at the Movie Biz
I think almost anyone would enjoy these DVDs. There is plenty to enjoy in this huge 4 disc set. The episodes are exciting and well edited and leave you wanting them to bring on the next episode. I had not seen any of season 1, but I did see a few episodes of season 2 and hated the directors. The writer/director in this first season was good. The movie was good and the behind the scenes drama was a good time for anyone.

I got these DVDs less than a week ago and someone has already borrowed one of the DVDs. The show is addictive if you have not seen it. It is just a shame that the movie made in season 1 barely made over $100k. Makes you wonder how Miramax can pony up the $1.5 mil for the season 1 movie and the 1.0 mil for the season two movie (which barely made 240k). Season 3 is coming soon on Bravo, so I guess that are making profit somewhere. I suppose DVD sells and the HBO deal made it profitable.

Anyway, definitely think about getting the set slightly used and save a few bucks and enjoy Project Greenlight's best season in my opinion.

Congratulations... excellent work for first film!
All I can say is that this movie... and I haven't seen the DVD series but did watch the stresses of the "behind the scenes" production on HBO ... was excellent!!!

And congratulations go out to Pete Jones! Great movie! Nicely shot. Great story line. And had the innocence of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Usually I fall asleep on the couch. Not this time... I was in tears by the end.

Acting wise and writing wise.... there were a couple of events that I thought jolted the movie without a previous motivation... Aiden Quinn's character... however overall... excellent. Highly recommend the whole package. The little boy's acting was excellent as well. All should be proud. A movie with real moments. Word should be out targeting the family audience!

Hope to see Pete Jones grow in his role as a writer and director!

Good series about a bad movie.
Watching this one-disaster-after-another reality show, I can't help but wonder if Pete Jones realizes just how lucky he is and how much scrutiny he's under. I mean, he's been pushy, demanding and silly on the set. He's not following a shot schedule or taking advice from anyone, particularly Chris Moore (who comes off in this show as a sort of wiseass, common-sense-spouting hero).

Incidentally, did you count how many drinks Ben Affleck had in the first episode? No wonder they sent him to rehab.

"Stolen Summer," which had a script that Matt Damon said sounded too much like an afterschool special, looks like it's going to be painful to sit through, but this show makes me want to suffer through it.
