Okay, so I SWEAR that a few months(?) back I saw a preview for a movie about making a television show, and it starred David Duchovny and Fran Kranz and I think some other awesome people that I can't remember right now? And I saw the trailer and got all excited because it looked right up my alley? And the I never heard another thing about it again? DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? This is an actual thing that existed, correct? I did not dream this up?

The TV Set? It's from 2006 and is in fact, completely awesome. I picked it up on a whim at Big Lots one day and ended up falling in love with it. Fran plays a pretty awful, douche-y guy, but bearded Duchovny made up for that. ;)

So it was already released? Why did I see the trailer recently? I am so confuuuuuuuuused. I need to hunt it down, obvs.

Hahaha, yeah, it was this movie that made me kinda not like Fran Kranz in Dollhouse, lol. I couldn't NOT see that character for the first several episodes.

But The TV Set might as well be about a Joss Whedon show, lol, with the writer going crazy with all the network interference. My favorite thing is that everyone calls it a satire because it's so OTT, but the writer/director claims it's not meant to be - it's actually how he thinks the industry operates. That is to say, yes, Lauren, I think you will greatly enjoy it. :)
