Angry black woman is annoying but I would hit it if she dropped some lbs

They were smart to partner with HBO films in that viewers will be able to see the finished product in the same place right after the show concludes. I watched the first few seasons back in the early 00s and was enthralled by the show, but was left to comb the local Blockbusters months later looking for "The Battle of Shaker Heights," et al. To this day, I still have never seen any of the films produced by those early seasons and once they became readily available to watch on cable, I had lost interest.

Affleck and Damon don't beat around the bush though. Make decisions and move on.

Jason had a shot at being the most annoying person alive. I think they made Effie the producer just so there would be someone so over-the-top annoying as to make Jason worthy of sympathy.

Always been a bit fascinated with the making of films and TV so I love this show. Have only seen one past season of it though, the Battle of Shaker Heights one. Haven't seen the actual movie either.
While I have some respect for Jason in wanting to stick to his guns in his vision for the movie... guy needs to learn how to pick his battles. Not picking the location until the very last minute trying to hold out to get his vision... is one of the biggest thing pulling down the movie at this point and making it tough for him to carry out that vision.

Don't think they fired him. They changed him from playing the driver to being a guest at the party.
But yeah, she's not making things easier, that's for sure.

I noticed a few black people at the front table in the scene where the parents were giving their speech (despite Effie claiming that they were no black people as guests at the wedding), wasn't sure if he was one of them.
Speaking of the parents...Sue Ellen Mischke AND Wick, the trustee of the Susan Ross Foundation!

I hate Effie with the heat of a thousand suns.
She has this huge chip on her shoulder about the representation of black people. Must have the right proportion of black people in the movie in the right places. The editor is black, the DP is black, the location scout is black, many other black crew members. As producer, I imagine Effie was responsible for hiring many if not all of them.
Racist against white people much?
And the whole aversion to conflict of any kind (which is her JOB)... Causing the Farrelly brother to quit... "duly noted"
I couldn't spend 5 minutes in a room with her

When they were talking about stunt safety, I wasn't familiar with the incident that the HBO guy was referring to with someone named Sarah and train tracks that had sparked changes on safety in movies.
Googled and found it. Here's the story of it. Damn.

I think so. I think season 1 was "Battle of Shaker Heights" and 2 was "Stolen Summer."

I thought about turning it off but stuck it out. Bell and Weeks were not bad acting wise but it just wasnt funny.The main female character was brutally written like they said on the series.

Watched the move while working from today. My biggest takeaways, besides how generally bad it was, were how the picture looked pretty crappy to my untrained eye at several times, and unless my cable provider had some sort of hiccup, I could swear I saw a jolt of the camera just as the car "crash" happened, as if they were putting two shots together. Which we know wasn't even possible.

Watching now. About 20 minutes in and it's staggeringly boring so far.

I'm not going to lie, my finger is hovering over the delete button.

There's a (likely) body double female ### in the second half of the movie. Normally I wouldn't cite that as a compelling reason to stick around, but if anyone can make that into an event, it's you!

I just saw that. Juicy double for sure.
The original script had to be better than this schlock. So hackneyed and predictable.

Just terrible. 85 minutes felt like double that. I think I smiled twice, didn't laugh once.

Yeah, shooting on film really made a huuuuuuge difference.

Just imagined what 3.3 million could have given us if this was Cinemax series.

I think they intentionally removed a couple of frames. Make the car look like it crossed the distance faster than it really did to make the crash seem more impressive.

Binge watched the season and really enjoyed it, then watched the movie. It's staggeringly bad. Boring, no character development, unfunny, just terrible in every way. It's pretty comical how the director comes off as this serious, uncompromising artist, and then gives us something with dialogue about guys licking each other's #######s and penises drawn on a man's face. The big car crash scene was a joke too. And the ending made absolutely no sense.
I hope they do more seasons because it's fascinating to watch the movies being made, but I think they'll have trouble casting anyone decent with this awful track record.
