I'm obsessed with: The TV set

ok I'll admit I'm not actually obsessed with this movie but I'm really interested by it. I'll assume you haven't seen it because I don't think anyone has. It's about this writer's whose script is being made into a pilot during pilot season and how it goes from something that meant a lot to him and was his baby and it just gets totally ripped apart by the process and by the end is nothing like what he wanted it to be. I was really interested in seeing because it's an intriguing premise and I adore David Duchovny, Judy Greer and Sigourney Weaver. I can't decide if I was really disappointed by the movie or if I think it's the ultimate irony. because the movie feels like a room of executives tore it to shreds. I can see how the original screenplay would have been great but this movie is a shadow of what I'm guessing the original idea was. It is a great idea because that's a part of hollywood most people never see. even watching the making of you can tell it's not what the writer wanted. For example he flat out says that Sigourney Weaver's character was suppose to be a man but then executives suggested it be a woman or they changed it.

i feel this movie gets lost in its own story, it's too real
