'The Steven'?
Q: Apart from being filthy rich, what do Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, and Steven Spielberg have in common?
A: They're all polluting the airwaves with their shitty reality shows.
That's right. Fox has announced a new The Apprentice-like reality show for 2007 featuring Steven Spielberg. According to E! Online: On The Lot ...will feature 16 finalists (who) will be divided into two teams and each group has to produce (and write, and direct, and cast…) a short film each week. Fox says that the contestants will be forced to deal with the pitfalls that any major player could face--creative differences, budgetary problems, deadlines, etc.--but that they will also have access to some high-caliber perks, such as the opportunity to collaborate with Industry insiders and big-name celebs.
Sounds like a great concept, except for one problem:
REALITY TELEVISION BLOWS!
I gotta tell ya, Steven, that I consider this to be a major sellout. You are a creative genius among idiots in Hollywood, and this is completely beneath you. The only reason why Donald and Martha get involved in this trash is because their vast wealth is dwarfed only by the size of their egos. I thought you were better than that.
You might think that you're passing on the torch to a new generation and helping them get a leg up, but make no mistake -- reality shows like this are not about nurturing creative talent. They're about teams of power-hungry sycophants who will fuck each other over in order to get a shot at planting their lips on your arse.
There's enough reality in everyday life, Steven. People watch your movies to escape it. Remember that.
