Movies and TV The Best Show on Television... Entourage - Page 26

teedubya · 05:01 PM

This show fuggin Cracks me up. Maybe Im just sheltered because I dont watch TV much, but I started watching this show midway through season one, and freaking love it.

Its about this young movie star and his brother, and two friends from New York, and his rise to stardom...

Tonights show was at the Sundance Festival, where Vince's latest movie Queens Boulevard was a huge success...

plus Turtle and Drama double-teamed this Peace Corps Chick and accidently "crossed swords". heh. funny shit. [Sorry Gochiefs, but they didnt show that part]

Freaking Ari Gold, played by Jeremy Piven is fuggin unreal in this show. He makes it.

Here is some cool extra footage.

Anyway, if you have HBO on Demand, check it out... its great TV.

Went from perhaps best ever to blah.

As I figured, it was highly predictable in that he doesn't take the job. And I'm disappointed that it took less than an episode to get all of that arc started after cliff hanging it.

Booooo.

Agreed. What a complete waste of a possibly interesting plot line. The turtle story was basically worthless. What was the point?

edit to add: Also, what was the point of Vince ever following that model? He makes some big decision to chase her down and then the next episode she is gone? I don't get it.

Classic Gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "I'm getting ****ed, the way you like getting ****ed, and I don't like getting ****ed"

That episode was awesome. I give that shit 2 thumbs up. I really enjoyed it. I love what Ari did to Amanda. That was $$$$.

**DaneMcCloud** · 10-29-2008, 04:48 PM

I feel like I missed an episode.

WTF?

NO follow-up after last week's incredible episode? Nothing? How freakin' bizarre.

I loved this episode. I loved the way it turned out, and wouldn't have wanted it any different. For those people that like cliffhangers, the only one I see would have been ending the episode on the fight between Ari and Amanda. I could have used some more one-liners in that scene!

Anyway, as a fan of the characters and story line, not so much the cliffhangers, I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

I don't have a problem with the resolution, but I have a problem with the fact that the producers decided to skip altogether what could have been a very interesting episode in favor of a quick decision.

I felt "robbed" by their decision. It was kind of like jumping from the 1st quarter to the 2 minute warning in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl.

I wanted to see how they got to that point, not just see the final two minutes.

unlurking · 10-29-2008, 06:07 PM

I can see that. I was a little disappointed about not getting to follow Ari on his European tour. And more of the models wouldn't have hurt I guess! Maybe they could have made it a 2 parter.

That's exactly what I thought.

So much build up and then oh, done.

What if I was to tell you that I've got a picture that would be bigger than Cleopatra sitting right on my dining room table? Would that be something you might be interested in?

**Baby Lee** · 11-03-2008, 05:27 AM

They wanted me for Aquaman II.

Really?

Water? Sequels? Not for me.

PhillyChiefFan · 11-03-2008, 11:43 AM

I was a little let down too.

Though I have to say FINALLY Vince got some balls to call someone out without having E do it. Sucks that he looked like a total jackass afterwards though.

I felt like I missed an episode with Turtle and Jamie and Vince and that model too, I hope they explain where that was going.

**DaneMcCloud** · 11-03-2008, 12:44 PM

Yeah, another weird episode.

Jason played himself well.

He's a dick in real life.

That's the best way to describe it. Weird. Virtually no relevant story or anything but not really fluff in the sense of many other "fluff" episodes. It's more like a dead end episode to let you know that everyone is still alive.
