Does anyone watch this HBO show? It's Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's project and it's very enjoyable to anyone who enjoys movies and likes to see what goes on behind the scenes.
I watched the first Project Greenlight last season, and I enjoyed that too.

I'm with you Janice, I saw the first Project Greenlight and loved it.(Although I never saw that movie "Stolen Summer")

I just started watching this season's Greenlight and like it too.

I didn't see the 1st but I did see "Stolen Summer".I've seen the 1st 2 episodes of this one.It's pretty good so far.

The directors of the movie are two pains the neck if you ask me. They seem passive agressive and sneaky. It seems that they think that, since they're directing a movie for Miramax, that they can control everything.
Only proven and seasoned directors get the creative control that Efram and Kyle want whether it be the final say in casting, script revisions, etc.
I think Chris Moore is a great no-nonsense guy who tells it like it is.
I laughed like hell over that group hug. I was a little unclear over whose idea it was. Did the actor do it on his own?
Also, did they tell Chris McDonald he was out or did I miss something?

They never actually showed Chris Macdonald being let go, which is something I really would've liked to see.

I think the group hug thing was Efram's idea. You could see that the script writer was pissed when she saw that.
