Mean Girls director Mark Waters is next working on a comedy titled The Ghost of Girlfriends Past, according to the MTV Movies Blog. Says Waters, "It's a take-off on 'A Christmas Carol,' about a guy who sleeps with lots of women and breaks their hearts...He basically has a magical comeuppance on Christmas, where he learns the error of his ways like Scrooge.
"On the Lot" Recap: Six Short Comedies
Sadly, my local Fox affiliate showed baseball last night instead of "On the Lot," so I didn't get to see Mark Waters judging after all. (And the home team didn't even win. Thanks a lot, Giants.) I've done my best to catch up with the clips available on the show's official site, but if I missed anything big, please tell me.
TV Tonight: "On the Lot"
I'm pretty well aware that by the end of the summer, I'll be the only person in America still watching Fox's tortured "On the Lot." Still, I'm kind of getting a kick out of the show — sometimes because the films are good; other times to marvel at how a great idea became a train wreck in execution and ratings — and so, in an effort to psych myself up for tonight's broadcast, I've come up with a few things that excite me about this next round of "On the Lot":
- The filmmakers now actually have to make films on the proverbial lot, rather than going home (though Fox has never said anything about it, I wouldn't be surprised if the films we've been watching the past few weeks were the contestants' audition movies).

The Invention of Lying: Sweet, but Unsteady
In his Hollywood directorial debut, Ricky Gervais takes us to an alternate universe where honesty makes the world go round.

The premise of The Invention of Lying is rife for comedy, but the film is also a commentary on religion and has its sad moments as well.
