Entourage

[FVD]

Hell it wouldn't be the same without Turtle. What are they gonna do? Replace him with Dom??? :rolleyes:

[NewYorkSpider]

What exactly is this whole skit with Matt Damon and Entourage I've been seeing on HBO? Can someone fill me in?

[ultrasuperduckman]

I think it's just suppose to be funny. I know next week's episode has him make a cameo dealing with a related issue.

[NewYorkSpider]

I guess it's just to hype up the season finale.

[ultrasuperduckman]

Yep. A whole season...of Vince doing nothing. I understand everyone else got their moments...but damn. And I really wanted to see a scene from Gatsby.

[Matt]

I know a lot of people will trash Entourage but I really enjoyed this episode. The Damon scenes were really funny. Yeah, Entourage may not be the best show on TV, but its cheap, fun, entertainment and I enjoy it. I was generally happy for E and Sloane. Lloyd and Drama too. The characters are endearing and the show is fun. That's what matters.

[piccolo]

Holee ****.

The season finale was ****ing EPIC. :wow:

So much win. So much.

Wow.

[Crook]

^ What? :funny:

Anyway, nice episode. Felt bad for Turtle, but on the plus side it's good to see Sloane and E finally getting together. Married, no less. For a second there I actually thought that'd be the end of them. E is pussywhipped, but he pulled out a winner with that move. :up:

Only thing I really "dislike" about this show is it's so short and the breaks in-between are so long. I literally caught up with 2 seasons this past week. I suppose it fits the semi-shallow, mindless entertainment that this show is...but still. I really would like to see much more of it.

Oh, and Matt crying post-credits was awesome. I really love his fake reality show antics that disparage his character.

[NewYorkSpider]

E and Sloane getting together like that surprised me. I also felt bad for Turtle going all the way to New Zealand for nothing. I really loved the way they ended all the characters except for Vince. It's seems this whole season was about Drama, E and Turtle. Vince, to me, felt like a minor character. I still love the show and can't wait to see what happens.

[piccolo]

I loved how he told Vince he thought he was a terrible actor. "I have an academy award and I'M calling YOU back!"

Play by play.

- I think Jamie is screwing somebody else over in New Zealand

- Ari is the GOAT after runnin up in there and firing everybody with a paintball gun. He exacted a jihad on the whole building

- Cool of Ari apologizing to Lloyd after Terrance apologized to him. Pay it forward my dude

- I would white knight the **** out of Sloan, then wife

- Matt Damon killed the whole ep. had me dying. "I have an academy and I'M calling YOU back". Told Vince he thought he was a terrible actor. Etc. Etc.

- Lebrons acting is as good as his jumpshot

- To top it off, they ended the ep with one of the greatest jay-z songs ever


Episode was epic. Almost made up for the **** season.

It's been this way practically the entire show's run. I don't even think anyone can truly deny that Vince is by FAR the weakest character, and that's a bit sad because everything revolves around him.

But I don't mind, the supporting cast is beyond great so it more than balances things out.

I just think the show took a step back from last season with Vince. They showed more of his acting roles last season. I don't even think we've seen a clip from Gatsby. I don't mind them showing more of the other characters, but at least give us an idea of what Vince has done.

But wasn't that the original premise? If I'm not mistaken in the original script and premise Vince was going to be an entirely unseen character and the show would revolve around strictly the entourage.

[Dark Donnie]

But wasn't that the original premise? If I'm not mistaken in the original script and premise Vince was going to be an entirely unseen character and the show would revolve around strictly the entourage.

Yes. The original idea was to not even see Vince. E was and is the star of the show.

I liked the finale. Closed up some loose ends. Really not sure where they will go from here, but I would bet next season could be the last. However they're great at writing filler so you never know:yay:.

I liked E and Sloan getting back together but I thought the lead up to it was kinda weak(season not episode).

Matt Damon was great btw :up:

[Matt]

Exactly. With the exception of last season (and only a slight exception) this has always been E's story (and to a lesser extent Turtle, Drama, and Ari). Vince has always been little more than a plot device to make their lives happen. Even Vince's biggest character arc (him failing then climbing back to the top), was just a plot device for other characters.

Technically it's E and Ari. Each episode/season has two plots. The Entourage plot and the Ari plot. Sometimes those two are interconnected while other times, like this season, they're not. E is the main character in the plot while Ari is the main character in the sub-plot. Although Ari's sub-plot always overshadows the main one. So, one could argue that Ari is the most important character. Without him the show would be cancelled two episodes into the season.

[Crook]

^ Bingo.

[StorminNorman]

This episode makes me want to buy a company.

[ultrasuperduckman]

Wow, almost really did make up for the season.

I actually cheered when E busted out the ring.

I mean...good god it's about time.

[KenK]

Ari running through TMA with the paintball gun, one of the top five greatest moments in Entourage's run!

[Dark Donnie]

People were discussing about Damon's cameo as possibly being the best one in the show's run. Between hmi and Scorcese IMO. Scorcese was great just because it was good to see Vince catch a break. Damon was just hilarious.

[The Chris]

Like I needed another reason to think Matt Damon was awesome! Best episode of the season by a mile.

[Harlekin]

Very good finisher to a lacklustre season. Happy that E and Sloane are back together, although honestly, even I was thinking: "E, come the **** on" when he brought her to that place. I thought Sloane was totally justified in her anger.

Hopefully next season will pick things up a bit though. Considering this was the end result of the season, we could've easily done without quite a bit of what we had to deal with. A few lesser episodes would've suited the pacing much better.

[RogueDK]

The Matt Damon ending was probably one of the most awesome segments on this series...PERIOD.:awesome:

That meltdown was hilarious. :hehe:

[NotFadeAway]

i know a lot of people will trash entourage but i really enjoyed this episode. The damon scenes were really funny. Yeah, entourage may not be the best show on tv, but its cheap, fun, entertainment and i enjoy it. I was generally happy for e and sloane. Lloyd and drama too. The characters are endearing and the show is fun. That's what matters.

exactly!!!!!

[NotFadeAway]

My predicitions for next season, which I feel will be the last. Seven seems like on of those magic numbers when it comes to television.

- Vince will win an academy award for either Gatsby or the Darabont film he is working on.

- We will see E and Sloan's wedding, which should be both touching and hilarious.

- Drama will have a new show developed for him and will become a major television star.

- Turtle will gradutae from UCLA and probably ends up with that banging co-ed.

- Ari will become the biggest agent in Hollywood.

The cool thing about a show like Entourage is that you know everyone will get there happy ending.

[Colossal Spoons]

Matt Damon...wow

[ultrasuperduckman]

Still hope that Ari gets a spin-off

[piccolo]

^^^show extra of Matt Damon directing Vince in a PSA for the charity. hilarious, vince really is a horrible actor :funny:

[Cory]

what the ****.

so the entire season everything is going one way...then only in the last episode, out of freakin nowhere, everything ends up being all happy ending...besides turtle and jamie lynn but who the hell cares with that college girl all over him.

bad finale for an overall bad season. although matt damon might have saved it. sloan and e make me yawn. haha sorry just disappointed in this whole season. i was really excited for it :(

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't see Sloan and E lasting. Their reconciling/proposal was way too abrupt and I think E just wanted Sloan back(this time) because he's comfortable around her. If Ashley weren't crazy, they'd still be together.

[ultrasuperduckman]

Yeah after what? 3 years of turning him down, she jumps his bones pretty quick after seeing that ring.

[Colossal Spoons]

Chicks like shiny things

[ultrasuperduckman]

damn...I need to keep that in mind from now on.

Hopes for season 7.

-Vince does something. I want to see a scene from his new movie. I also hope that he does NOT win an oscar.

-E and Sloan don't annoy the hell out of me. In fact I'll be happy if they just get along the entire season and let us move on past all that jazz.

-Drama retiring from acting I was really really digging. I think he should do that and then become a professional cook, since he loves doing it. Or at least go on the Food Channel or something.

-Turtle. I don't know.

-And for crying out loud. Is a dark knight reference to much to ask for?? I mean it broke Aquaman's record. I'd like just something small and subtle preferably from Ari.

[Bruce Banner]

geez Ari walked in Tony Montana style into that place. Adam Davies is gone.

I have to agree that the proposal was to sudden.



I loved what Andrew Clein said when Terrence walked

Terrence: I'm surprised you still in the business

Andrew: Die

so blunt but I loved it

[goh78]

what the ****.

Same as last season...Vince struggles the whole time, doesn't do much to get himself anywhere else, and then poof, Scorcese saves the day. I just think it's lazy writing.

[amazingfantasy15]

I don't know why I watch this show, the writing is so horrible and lazy, I'm all for a fun sitcom type show, but this show totally misses the mark. I cancelled HBO a couple years ago so missed last season, got a deal for my cable where I'm getting HBO free for a year and decided to watch again. Everything that pissed me off about the show is still in place. Little to no true character development for everyone except Ari, after just follows Vince around like lost puppies. Turtle is going to Rome, what about school? Drama pulls a Vince and does his best to destroy his career, but still gonna get saved. Eric and Sloane, yeah, that's realistic, a couple that broken up, gets engaged out of the blue, wasn't Sloane pissed at Eric for making her miss a date with her boyfriend? Vince did absolutely nothing this season, so there's nothing to even say about him. Terrible. F. Season pass cancelled.

[ultrasuperduckman]

Oh snap. I forgot about Turtle's schooling. Hahaha, and he is going Rome.

Oh boy.

[Poetic Chaos]

"Put him on the ****in' phone Jon"

:lmao:

[ultrasuperduckman]

"He Jason Bourned me"

haha.

[amazingfantasy15]

I think the Matt Damon stuff would've been much better if it was a slow burn like over a couple episodes, Vince is dodging Matt Damon. Just using the "plot" in one episode made Matt Damon look like a total dick, so Damon sees Vince and immediately starts bullying him for money for his charity? C'mon.

[ultrasuperduckman]

It's like the mob for the parade of hope from Death to Smoochy.

[NotFadeAway]

Everyone is forgetting that other than the season 4 finale, all the seasons end have ended on happy notes.

I thought the season was going to end with a Vinnie Chase sex tape surfacing from the episode that he screwed that college girl while waiting for Turtle.

I thought it was fine. His impatient and righteous passion and anger made it all the better.

You hate entourage anyway though, dude. You'd find something wrong with just about anything they did no matter what.

That popped into my head the moment it happened. I really thought it would come back later on in the season. Would've been an interesting twist.

[M.O.Steel]

"He Jason Bourned me"

haha.

FAvorite LINE of the entire season. I would say entire series, but that would be

"I parted the red sea for you, so don't piss on the sand"

I thought it was fine. His impatient and righteous passion and anger made it all the better.

You hate entourage anyway though, dude. You'd find something wrong with just about anything they did no matter what.

I love the show, but he does have a point. they could have made it into a 3 episode arc. Vinny had absolutely NOTHING to do this whole season. they could have spread it out, and wouldn't have taken any longer than the amount of acting MD put into it.

I felt E/Sloan was really super fast too. they could have and should have spread the season finale over 2-3 episodes.

[Ender Durden]

i just watched the entire season in 2 days. Vince is no doubt the least interesting character on the show, and it just got annoying seeing him fnkn some random girl every episode, with a cell phone in his hand.

[RogueDK]

Y'know at first I thought that Matt was abit smothering - I mean you're trying to bully someone into donating on a charity was definetely not cool and I was a little ticked off myself...

...but the meltdown at the end totally redeemed Damon in my eyes. It showed just how pathetic his character actually was. How could you not laugh? :hehe:

[amazingfantasy15]

I don't look for things wrong with the show, they just appear, all the time with the lazy writing on the show. It's like last season, Vince spends the entire time starting to freak out about being broke, then he gets the part in Gatsby and is on easy street again and goes right back to his old overspending ways. Sorry, but it's not the '80s or '90s anymore, I want growth in the characters on a TV show. A plot arc besides just picking up a different random girl with no effort whatsoever would be nice too. At least in the first couple seasons it was about his acting career and where he headed, then you had the last 2-3 seasons of him trying his best to destroy his reputation in the industry. This season, it was absolutely nothing.

[DACrowe]

late response. This was a great ending to a lackluster season. This is actually the first season of Entourage I would say was mostly bad. Other than the great subplot of Lloyd and Gary Cole at Ari's agency, the season has been a wash of E with crazy *****, Vince doing nothing but banging hot girls and Turtle in a relationship.

But this episode made up for all of it.

-A genuinely poignant and sad conclusion to the Jamie Lynn thing.
-Matt ****ing Damon.
-Drama finally manning up.
-ARi getting to show some humanity with the always great McDowell.
-Ari showing some evil as he takes down the entire agency literally Tony Montana style. Suck on it Davies!
-Lloyd becoming an agent.
-Ari freaking out at the shrink.
-AND FINALLY E AND SLOANE GETTING THEIR **** TOGETHER. ABOUT TIME.
-Oh and Matt muther ****ing Damon.

Crappy season, first bad one of the series, imo, but awesome finisher.

[M.O.Steel]

when is this starting up again?

[NewYorkSpider]

I imagine it starts up around June or July. I think that's when it came on last year.

[M.O.Steel]

Suprise to see someone tag this thread haha. Uh, I think summer??

i was just curious.:woot:

[BlackLantern]

june or july i think

[Conebone69]

Cannot wait for season 7 this summer!

[Christopher Nolan]

will season 7 be the last season of this great show?

[kguillou]

Well Mark Wahlberg said that after season 7, there will be six more episodes airing in 2011 and then there would be an Entourage movie. So we still have a lot to look forward to.

[El Bastardo]

Anyone else watch the season premiere tonight?

[Batman713]

Yea. It was boring. Show's definitely getting repetitive. It seems like most of the characters are reverting back to their early season selves (ie. Seasons 1-5). Turtle's a loser once again without Jamie Lynn, Drama's still heckling Ari and looking for a job and (up until the end of the episode) Vince is the same passive weak person. E seems to be the only person really making any headway. In season 6 we saw a lot of these characters mature. E seems to be the only one continuing down that path.

[El Bastardo]

If you say so.

[Paroxysm]

Bring on Sasha Gray already!

[Matt]

Entourage is essentially a sitcom. Its job isn't to provide meaningful arcs and character development. People watch for the fantasy of the Hollywood life style. To see Ari be a dick, to see Drama be a bum, etc.

Beyond that, Turtle has grown. He's a successful business man now. That's something. But yeah, I don't want to see these characters mature too much. It defeats the purpose.

At any rate, I enjoyed the premiere a lot.

[Matt]

Well Mark Wahlberg said that after season 7, there will be six more episodes airing in 2011 and then there would be an Entourage movie. So we still have a lot to look forward to.

Wahlberg is essentially a producer in name only. Until we hear it from Ellin and HBO I wouldn't bet on it. My guess is that they will extend the 2011 season to a full 12 episodes and make it a proper final season.

That said, I think HBO is over-estimating the demand for a film, if they go through with it. They think it will be the male Sex and the City, but I just don't think Entourage has the same kind of appeal. I say that they do a proper finale in 2011 and end it on a high note. :up:

[Dark Donnie]

Two season and a movie are confirmed I believe....whether a movie happens is another story.

Entourage is now available on channels like Spike so I expect the following to grow a little. Sex in the City was a hit, but got real big when it became syndicated on TBS. Guess they're shooting for that as well.

True but we've seen 6 seasons of that. It get's tiring after a while. A new breath of air won't hurt.

[Excel]

Of course its getting repetitive. They killed his career way too quickly. The show will always be funny, but it wont reach the heights it originally was unless the characters grow.

[Matt]

Do people complain that characters on Seinfeld never grew? Or the characters on The Office? People seem to confuse Entourage with a drama when it is little more than a HBO situation comedy.

[El Bastardo]

Yeah. It's not the same thing as Justified, or The Shield, or Burn Notice. That's also why it's not an hour. Television, just like other mediums, has this thing called format.

But the Entourage characters are not static. They change, just in a little and not-necessarily-meaningful ways.

But the show is primarily a matter of comedy and simulation. It has great writing, but it's a different kind of writing than a drama would have.

[Matt]

I enjoyed last night's episode. I like the arc that they are building with Vince, giving him his very own Joaquin Phoenix/Britney Spears-esque melt down.

Also, I loved the Bob Saget scene. "Wives? That's some dark, morbid ****."

[Eklypze]

I really really liked last nites ep for some odd reason. Kinda weird cuz I usually don't like single eps of Entourage that much but this one I really enjoyed. I wish they woulda stayed on Vince a lil more when he was skydiving though

[Eklypze]

He said Mormon not morbid lol

[Matt]

Ah :funny: That makes more sense.

So is anyone else disappointed with how they wrote out Klein? Yeah, he wasn't great, but it felt cheap. I hope they bring him back for closure. Gary Cole deserves better.

[M.O.Steel]

don't really like sloen E story. it wrapped up too nicely last season. E's story should have ended with that fight.

i really hate the way vince treats E man. he really needs to leave him

[Blackman]

So I'm guessing from Vince mentioning vicodin in this ep that their going with a addiction storyline...Eh

I mean its good that Vince is getting something to do, but I dont know seems kind of heavy for Entourage to portray it in a serious manner (which is my guess for what theyre going to do)

Season 7 so far is better than season 6, but still is pretty meh

[RogueDK]

Season 7 so far is better than season 6, but still is pretty meh
Yeah I agree. And Turtle seems to be so useless this season. I'm just not feeling where the writers are going with his character thus far. Is it just me or does anyone else agree?

[M.O.Steel]

i disagree. i actually feel the exact opposite. they actually gave him a purpose this season with the business and all the stuff. season 1-5, he was their chauffeur.

[M.O.Steel]

and how hot was ari's wife?

[RogueDK]

and how hot was ari's wife?
I definetely detected MILFage as she bent over towards the viewer in that black underwear. :awesome:

[The Incredible Hulk]

I really try to give this show the benefit of the doubt, but I'm now convinced it's completely run out steam.

Where is the show headed? Why are they rehashing storylines theyve already done before like the one agent leaving Ari's agency and trying to screw him? It's been done before And only like 2 seasons ago with with Adam Davies.

Is there any storyline we havent seen before or that anyone still fins compelling?

Drama has the same story of failure every year.

Turtle is a failure at most anything he does but gets the occasional hot girlfriend.

E is squeamish about most everything and is always running back to Sloan and then ditching her to take care of Vince.

Vince bangs hot chicks, gets his ass kissed by all of Hollywood, and has too much free time on his hands which leads to him getting in trouble.

Ari yells a lot. has women issues, and has to fix everything that E and/or Vince screw up.

Did I miss anything?

[Matt]

I actually loved last night's episode. Everyone always complains that the show doesn't take stories far enough. For example, Adam Davies' story wrapped up too quickly. E's agency shut down, Vince had a come back too easily. Turtle's breakup with Jamie left him with no purpose. Now that the show is actually taking a step further, giving Ari real competition, having Turtle do something other than mooch, having E establish a career, Vince go the classic route of Hollywood star breakdown, etc people complain about that. I think last night was great and I am really digging this season.

but everything else is point on.

And let's not forget E trying to put it in Sloane's butt!!!! :cwink:

[Dark Donnie]

Last nights episode was probably the best in a couple of seasons.

[Optimus_Prime_]

Eh, I kind of think this show is jumping the shark. Vince is having some sort of quasi-mental breakdown that is overly cliche' in my opinion. I almost could watch the show without his involvement at this point. I'm much more invested in Drama's career, Turtle and E's relationship with Sloane. The porn star character was promising, but the fact that she's leading Vince down a dark path just seems retarded.

[Matt]

Oy, when they stick to business as usual, people complain and when they try something new people complain.

[M.O.Steel]

i really couldn't care for E and sloan. they fixed that relationship too prematurely. the show should have ended with the proposal drama

[SrsBsns]

This season is pretty good so far, much better than season six, IMO. Like RogueDK said, I really don't care about Turtle's story. I do admit that after the most recent episode, I am a little more intrigued now that Turtle's proposal to Vince is now on the table. I also think there is something definitely wrong with that tequila but I may be the only one getting that vibe. It also sucks that Drama is doing the "struggling-actor" story again. I was really hoping that his story would be a positive one throughout the season.

Also, in the premiere, didn't Drama say he only has 8 weeks until his holding deal was over? So, what does that mean now? About 4 weeks left?

[chesslover]

Entourage is coming to free tv in Milwaukee,WI

[The Riddler]

the show is completely unoriginal at this point, and yet it is still one of the few shows i watch every week.

there is just no substitute for the unassuming entertainment of entourage.

however, the ending of the last episode implies vince actually having some kind of viable storyline.

[Blackman]

I agree Riddler

I think the show was better when the guys were trying to make it now that Vince is really established its not as good in terms of the Hollywood part.

But I love the guys so much I cant stop watching

[goh78]

The show is a shell of itself 4-5 years ago IMO. I'll still catch every ep live until it ends, because I love it. But this season is just aggravating to me.

People have talked about the female writer who has completely changed the tone, and I agree with them. EVERY female on this show holds the cards. It is annoying and is not what Entourage is about. They've made every single woman some kind of bad ass chick: Babs is annoyingly cocky and straining on the eyes. The Mexican chick is toying with Turtle. The female agents, and now this filthy Sasha Grey is acting like she isn't one step shy of working the corner. It all just bugs me; what do I care about Ari getting an NFL team (that would be fictional), fighting over Jessica Simpson, Vince pitching tequila, Scott Caan acting like he's been on the show for ages, how Sasha Grey chose her porn name, and blah blah blah.

And it was never more apparent a woman was writing the show then when Vince went through a traumatizing experience so he did what? HE CUT HIS HAIR. Because that's what men do.

Wait, no, that's what women do.

[Blackman]

I like Scott Caan. He's a cool addition. Very funny. But I dont like how, after almost coming to blows, him and E became good friends

[goh78]

I like him fine, but all of a sudden he's hanging out with the guys and talking sh-t to Ari? Just seems forced.

The female agents, and now this filthy Sasha Grey is acting like she isn't one step shy of working the corner. It all just bugs me; what do I care about Ari getting an NFL team (that would be fictional), fighting over Jessica Simpson, Vince pitching tequila, Scott Caan acting like he's been on the show for ages, how Sasha Grey chose her porn name, and blah blah blah.

And it was never more apparent a woman was writing the show then when Vince went through a traumatizing experience so he did what? HE CUT HIS HAIR. Because that's what men do.

Wait, no, that's what women do.

:lmao:

I actually agree with most of this...although I do like Scott Caan. With the Scott and Ari stuff....I think those two talking **** to each other is very much who there charactes are.

[Matt]

I actually love what they're doing this season. Its the best one since 3, IMO.

[goh78]

It may seem that I am a sexist. I'm not. I just don't tune in on Sunday nights for lessons on female empowerment. It's a guy's show. It'd be like if years ago they all of a sudden started making Sex and the CIty about how awesome men are. And every man is getting the better of the girls, and they are portrayed as such.

Sloane - has never, ever, showed ONE flaw. She has been painted justified for every action she has taken. She's 'perfect' and 'cool'...

Mrs. Ari - I get it, for 7 seasons now she gets mad that Ari works alot. She's mad at Ari for not seeing a chandelier, when he is trying to (supposedly, event though nothing in 7 seasons has ever indicated this) fulfill his life-long dream of owning an NFL team.

Lizzie - was in one or two eps last season if I remember correctly, and she is, according to Ari, the reason Andrew went off the deep end. So, in short, she ruined the guys marriage and career. And she demanded a promotion that the 'biggest agent in the world' didn't think she was ready for, so she quits and goes with...

Amanda - Has been a 'badass' since day one, trying to push the men around and whatnot...

Filthy Porn Star - Apparently she chose her porn name because she's heard of Dorian Grey and has read a few books, so I'm supposed to think she is some educated, intelligent person, who just happens to perform anal sex for a living.

Alex - Has had Turtle by the balls since her first line on the show.

You are not alone in your thinking. Many on boards like IMDB have been saying this for two seasons. It's pretty obvious when Ally Musika writes an episode.

[Blackman]

Seasons IMO

Ally Musika has (co)wrote a good ep. Gotta Look Up to Get Down the one with Vince and the modeling gig in Season 5. Seth Green Day and Return to Queens Blvd werent bad either.
At first I thought it was IMDB trolling, but I think that Musika does add a femine touch to the show and not in a good way.

I mean in the modelling episode: Vince searched high and low for some girl that he met once a while ago. Vince hasnt chased a girl like that since he was actually in love back in Season 2
And all of the Season 6 Andrew affair and Ashley(hte ugly stalker chick) centric episodes were written by her
Also as people have said Season 7 does have the women holding all the guys by their balls save for Drama

There has been another female writer on the show...and I feel really sh***y and sexist for saying this but I think that a female has ruined the show by making it...femine & female empowering

Considering the plot and characters involved it seems odd to have a woman write such a significant amount of episodes. This is not supposed to be sexist but this show was at its best when it felt like the events on the show mirrored certain celebs and their experiences(DiCaprio, Wahlberg etc.). Doesn't really feel like that as much. Feel like it's taken a dramatic turn since she's come aboard.

[piccolo]

Was unaware that the writer was changed to a female. And it explains A LOT.

Well they say this Vince/Sasha storyline is mirroring Charlie Sheen's actions with that Hollywood madame. I just hope they make it a full scale scandal soon because other than an Award show Scandals are the only thing Entourage hasnt shown us in terms of Hollywood

[piccolo]

The show is a shell of itself 4-5 years ago IMO. I'll still catch every ep live until it ends, because I love it. But this season is just aggravating to me.

hahaha so true

And everything you said is true. Its been pretty amusing watching everyone go through the past couple eps pretending Sasha Gray isn't a filthy whore.

And the whole "keep a journal on Ari's sexist rants!" thing makes more sense now too. I don't think any male writer would even have fathomed that.

Plus the whole strange thing about Turtle seeing a shaved vagina and being too freaked out to perform....only a woman could have come up with that. I don't think thats ever happened to any man in the history of civilization.

[Blackman]

Its weird because a female centric show Sex and the City has had multiple male writers since Season 1

That, and E being scared about giving anal. I don't know of any guy who is scared of that, in fact, that's kinda the goal, sometimes. Now, I understand if the girl doesn't like it or what-not(which you don't try, then), but she was into trying, and E was like, "ahhh, but I'm scared about it. Let me look up how to do it on the internet".:doh: How to do anal!?!? I'm pretty sure it's the EXACT same thing as regular sex, except, and here's the kicker, it's in her anus!

[piccolo]

I got news for you, man. Its not the same as regular sex....not even close. haha

[Travesty]

I got news for you, man. Its not the same as regular sex....not even close. hahaHehe, wow. I'm talking on just a penetration angle. I'm pretty sure you don't need to google "how to do anal sex with my girlfriend" to figure it out...which was my point. I've never looked at my penis, and my girls ass, and thought, "now how am I supposed to do this? Boy I'm scared".:cwink:

[El Bastardo]

Lots of guys don't like anal. Lots of guys don't like oral, actually. Getting it, I mean.

And Sasha Grey may be a filthy whore, but she's hot. So who cares?

[Blackman]

She isnt event that hot. Shes meh
Dania Ramirez, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Carla Gugino>>>Sasha Grey\

and to me the anal thing was really weird to watch and then as others said Turtle's "problem" with Alex was beyond stupid

[piccolo]

And Sasha Grey may be a filthy whore, but she's hot. So who cares?

Not on the show. Her face has looked like a trainwreck the past couple weeks.

And I didn't say I wouldn't do her. But that doesn't make everyone walking around acting like she doesn't do and say unspeakable things in her movies any less amusing.

[Golgo-13]

QFT on all accounts.

I think Vince gets dumper and dumper each season. Carla Gugino is definitely the hottest woman he's ever been with.

[El Bastardo]

And I didn't say I wouldn't do her. But that doesn't make everyone walking around acting like she doesn't do and say unspeakable things in her movies any less amusing.
Are we watching the same show? Sasha's introduction, Turtle and Drama know she's a pornstar. Scott Caan's character knows it. Stan Lee figures it out. By this episode everyone's up in arms about it. Walsh can't stand being in touching-distance of her - due to his rehab, of course - but as if she's a walking salvo of diseases. And we have everyone else up in arms that Vince is going off the deep end and dating a pornstar.

Unless you're crying because they don't have the characters making direct quotes from her movies, which wouldn't actually fit into any of the scenes, and in which case I'd love to see just how much of a train wreck your proposed television script would be.

What planet are you living on? I've never heard a guy say he hates receiveing oral.........ever :huh:
Do some looking around. Dan Savage spoke about it just recently, about a month to a month-and-a-half ago. There are multiple cases for it, both heterosexual and homosexual.

I don't see how it's that shocking. Sexual tastes are as basic to the brain as food preferences. This guy over here likes tomatos, and I don't. This other guy over there enjoys using handcuffs and is into bondage, and that other guy doesn't like getting oral.

[piccolo]

hahaha white knighting sasha gray, now i've seen it all

[Optimus_Prime_]

Oy, when they stick to business as usual, people complain and when they try something new people complain.
I don't mind that they're trying something new, it's how they're going about it. Take last weekends episode cliffhanger. Vince is passed out naked, and drunk, by his pool. It sort of reminded me of the "Demon in a Bottle" storyarc from Iron Man. One drink and Iron Man is officially an alcoholic. So, Vince goes on a bender and has a wee bit too much fun, so what? It all reeks of that "very special episode" syndrome. Moreover, the one leading him down this path is a porn star. To me that's kind of cliche'. Why does the porn star have to be the bad influence, seems way too obvious. I'm fine with what they're doing in concept, but it seems kind of weak in it's execution.

[DIRECTOR]

I myself don't like bushes :)

[goh78]

Lots of guys don't like anal. Lots of guys don't like oral, actually. Getting it, I mean.

And Sasha Grey may be a filthy whore, but she's hot. So who cares?

Because Vince used to bang real life chicks - Mandy Moore, Jamie Pressley, Ali Larter was crazy for him in the pilot, he nailed that blond chick before Kimmel, etc. So seeing him now with this piece of trash who pays the rent by gargling penis is, 'off'. Maybe that's what they're going for, I don't know.

Buy it's aggravating that she is so excepted and the writers are clearly trying to make her look cool and educated and intelligent, but it's always in the back of my head that I can pull her up online bent over in 20 seconds flat. I call it the Kardashian syndrome.

[El Bastardo]

Excepted, she is. Accepted, she is not.

Who has accepted her? Turtle and Drama. And Scott Caan's character. Yeah, they're some good judges of character. Everyone else is up in arms that Vince may or may not be dating a pornstar. Ari. E. Shauna. The Airwalker director guy. The studio head. And I bet more people, once we see fallout from the twitter debacle.

Also, if you seriously think the charater of Vince, as portrayed in all previous seasons, would never have banged a pornstar had he the chance, you've got a seriously different interpretation of the character than I and the majority of viewers do. But it's never come up before, or been written into the show before, so it's been a moot point until now.

Sasha Grey is, actually, a rather educated and intelligent person. What, does being in porn somehow negate that? Are they mutually exclusive? One cannot possibly go hand-in-hand with the other? Seriously, think about what you wrote there. I call it stupid-logic syndrome.

[DIRECTOR]

you guys do realize that there is a point to Vince cutting his hair, him dating Sasha Grey, his constant drinking, and his "I don't give a ****" attitude are leading him to some sort of dramatic downfall.

So, Vince currently dating Sasha is a metaphor or foreshadowing of future events that we have yet to see,.......... PROBABLY GOING THE LINDSEY LOHAN ROUTE ya na wat i'm sayin??

[Matt]

Exactly. I actually think it is an interesting route to take the character.

I think the Lindsey Lohan route is exactly where they are going. In fact, I don't mind that, I just mind the execution. Really partying and wild times were always part of the show, now their trying to demonize behavior that's actually very common to everyone. I've known people who go on 16 hour benders, pass out naked, and are absolutely fine the next week. It reminds me of when Full House would do their "very special episode", and Kimmi would get offered a beer and it would be treated like her friends asked her to rape and murder a little child. I don't mind retooling Vince's character, especially if it's to make him more interesting because usually I find him to be less interesting than his supporting cast. I do mind them doing it in such a cartoonish and cliche' fashion. The scene at the end of last episode was treated very seriously, as if to imply it was some startling revelation. To me though it just looked like classic drunk behavior, something that probably occurs a good 500 times an hour out in LA.

[Blackman]

I like that theyre going with a Vince downfall its just that I want to see it happen quicker and for them to identify it as a problem.
Right now the drinking doesnt seem that bad because either Turtle or Johnny are doing it with them
His whole relationship with Sasha isnt that bad because he was banging a Madame back in season 2
The little quote that Vince said that he took a vicodin was brushed off in the most recent ep.

And that whole meeting with Stan Lee was kind of...meh. Obviously it was bad that he brought a pornstar and the kept talking to him about being drunk, but he didnt even seem that wasted to me.

I guess to make a long post short I want them to push the envelope more sooner. There already on episode 7 with 3 more episodes to go and it doesnt seem like Vince REALLY has a problem yet.

And this whole back and forth ppl are having about Sasha Grey. Yes, she might be an intelligent person and might be on her way to become a legitimate actress, but the fact remains that she used to have sex for money which is why alot of people dont take her seriously

[El Bastardo]

It's all about relations, Blackman.

The drinking is that bad, and that's shown because he's doing it with Turtle and Drama. Drama's an angry drunk and self-destroyer. Turtle's a tag-along loser most of the time, not to mention a druggie. Note that straight-man Eric is not along for the ride here, which means it's one big situation of down-the-spiral.

While the relationship with Sasha need not necessarily be bad, it is because it's clearly representative of said downward spiral. Her character likes drug-use and likes bad boys - maybe not that cut and dry, per se, and while they might have had a fling just through star power, it wouldn't have lasted were Vince still acting calm and rational and respectable. Rather, he's allowing her to lead him around - she's a bad influence, strictly, whereas Drama and Turtle are mutual give-and-take with Vince (and always have been).

The vicodin statement being brushed off represents no one paying attention to the growing problem - the general idea that no one pays attention until it's too late, as was exhibited with the cliffhanger ending of the most recent episode. Eric's been covering his bases. Ari's been off doing his own thing. No one's been watchdogging Vince at a time when he's needed it, and E's been quick to make excuses.

The meet with Stan Lee was a matter of perception. Vince didn't seem that wasted, sure, but he was perceived to be, and that perception was worse once they connected he brought a pornstar with him.

[kguillou]

I think Sasha Grey is doing great on the show so far. If i didnt know she was a porn star, i would've thought she was just a regular upcoming actress.

I think the last few episodes have been great and the show is really picking up steam. I wasn't quite sure what the hell they were doing during the first 4 episodes but now things are heating up. Ari's storyline is my favorite, there's just no stopping Jeremy Piven. We could be potentially witnessing the fall of the Gold empire. Turtle's storyline.....eh not so great. I dont really care about his tequila thing and his relationship with Dania Ramirez doesn't seem authentic. They need to bring back Jamie Lynn Sigler!

And has anyone realized theres only 10 more episodes left of this show? 4 more this season and 6 next summer, then thats it...entourage is over. Man, i feel like all the good shows are ending.

[The Riddler]

She isnt event that hot. Shes meh
Dania Ramirez, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Carla Gugino>>>Sasha Grey\

i agree.

chriqui is maybe the second hottest chick on the show. ramirez, gugino, reeser are nice to look at.

most underrated is mrs. ari gold (perrey reeves).

hottest chick on the show? might be odd, but i think it's dana gordon (constance zimmer).

so by that count, sasha grey is at best the 7th best looking female on the show.

[Blackman]

Yeah I think Reeves>>>>Sasha too.
Adn Dana Gordon has always been strangely hot. Reeser and Grey are on the same level for me

[M.O.Steel]

with the success of sex and the city, there is a strong possiblity of an entourage movie.

[Dark Donnie]

Nope...Season finale is Sept 12th(week break for Labor Day)

Actually yes, I'm inclined to think it does. And being in porn and people (outside of the business) having any sort of respect for you are mutually exclusive. Maybe not to you, but to the vast majority of the world. She takes it in the rear and gargles semen for a living. That, to me, doesn't really scream 'intelligence' or 'educated', unless we're talking education as in how to deep throat.

[Eklypze]

I will say you gotta point. Its kinda hard to take somebody seriously and have any respect for them as a person, no matter their intelligence, after you see them drink a milk enima. Seriously. I still love that skinny little **** though

Wow. Speaking of gargling, the amount of stupidity you're ingesting is immense. The point of gargling, by the by - since you seem to need it explained now - is to spit it out, not swallow it.

I'd actually like to know the logic (or lack-of) that fuels your intended point, but I don't think I could swim through that maze with a 24-hour oxygen tank and scuba gear. :doh:

[Patron12]

you know to add to what someone said about the show having touches of the woman having men by the balls with The All Mighty Uterus vibe, i just realized that part of the reason Ari didnt promote Lizzy was because of Mrs. Gold freaking out about her. He didnt want to make it worse by promoting her and he didnt, thus creating the problem.
And now Amanda wants to show women how Ari treats them? Seems like the female writer is really apparent

[Matt]

I actually like what they're doing with Ari. He's not really had any business trouble since season 2 (I don't really count Vince firing him as trouble cause he was fine). Its interesting to see the Gold Empire hit a road bump.

[Patron12]

Defiantely, i enjoy Ari having a hard time too
but a part of me would rather have it happening under different circumstances.
i mean they make it seem as if Ari is some sexist who abuses/rapes/something his female employees, when Ari is just a dick to everyone
Like part of the reason he didnt promote Lizzy was cuz of his wife, but maybe he really didnt think she was ready and was close to
Whats wrong with that?

[Matt]

I personally think it would've been a terrible decision to promote Lizzie. Hell, Lizzie should've been fired over the Andrew debacle. She slept with the head of the TV department, destroying his marriage and sending him into a drug/hooker binge and then she demands his old job. What boss in their right mind would give her that promotion?

I think a better route would've been Adam Davies suing Ari under Amanda's guidance considering that Ari assaulted Davies (and countless other former TMA employees) with a paint ball gun!

[Patron12]

Yea i think Ari was right to not promote Lizzie, I mean like you said she did all that stuff
Plus I think if she had continued to work hard, Im sure Ari wouldve considered promoting(like Lloyd), she just wasnt ready
and i dont really like how its like OH man i didnt get promoted? youre going down
And the Davies thing IS true

[M.O.Steel]

very interesting. i really like this much better than the lizzy angle. that fit a lot better.

the lizzy thing seems really forced. she really has no say considering what she did, and could have easily been fired at other companies, (or asked to quit nicely)

[Blackman]

Yeah both Lizzie and Andrew wouldve been gone regardless of how much they made especially after Andrew's wife came storming into the office.

[Matt]

I really hope this arc doesn't end with Ari apologizing to her or giving her the head of the TV department job or admitting he was wrong or anything like that, because when it comes down to it, he wasn't wrong and it would make Ari look like a total push over. I'd actually like to see this arc end with Ari destroying Amanda.

[Blackman]

Me too, Matt. Ari has become alot softer (paintball rampage aside). It feels like he gets pushed around too much in the last 2 seasons. Also...the guys havent been to a meeting at Ari's in what feels like forever. I hope they have one of those soon

[M.O.Steel]

dude, it's entourage. i assure you that every single person will have a happy ending where nothing bad ever lasts. especially ari and vince

Thats what I was thinking. The show made it seem like it was her god-given right to promoted when she should have already been fired in the first place. I'm sure this also has nothing to do with the change in writers...

Agreed. A triumphant Ari is one of the things that I love about this show.

[katie_girl09]

I used to love this show. I should get back into it.

[CrypticOne]

Are they still gonna make a movie after this season is over?

[M.O.Steel]

its in active decision. and not like one of those, we might, and it would be cool. walberg, president of HBO, kevin conelly have all said it, and with the success of sex city, it's practically greenlit

[Cory]

this season really sucks, oh hey we r running out of ideas so instead of ending it lets make vince have a drug problem with a porn star.


gotta be ****ing kidding me.

[Christopher Nolan]

it's the robert downey jr. factor..

[Dark Donnie]

The writing is getting sloppy at times....Dana had a kid in past seasons now she doesn't? I know this isn't instrumental to the story but it's one of those obvious screwups.

I think its great. Vince has spent the past 7 seasons living a crazy life style, it was all bound to catch up with him eventually. How many other great actors has it happened to? Its a real risk in the business and it is the most development we've seen from Vince in a long time. I'm loving this season.

Last night's episode was fantastic. Much credit to Piven. The scene with him finding out the tapes have been published was amazingly well acted.

[Matt]

The writing is getting sloppy at times....Dana had a kid in past seasons now she doesn't? I know this isn't instrumental to the story but it's one of those obvious screwups.

You're right. Back when Cameron signed on to Aquaman didn't Ari stalk her at her kid's school? None the less, considering that she was joking, it can be overlooked. Ari had a lot on his mind and only talks to Dana when he wants something anyway, so he may have just been so distracted that he didn't pick up on it.

[piccolo]

Amanda literally cost Ari the NFL. She has to die.

[Matt]

Amanda literally cost Ari the NFL. She has to die.

Ari must take his revenge and get her blacklisted from Hollywood or something. She must be destroyed.

I don't get why she is so bitter. Ari went to her, tried to make peace, and asked her what she would do if she got the Warners job and she told him that she would blacklist every one of his clients. What the **** was Ari supposed to do? Give the job of president of the biggest studio in Hollywood to a woman who openly admitted that she would use it to keep his clients out and essentially destroy him? How could she really be suprised that Ari would not help her get it?

[Dark Donnie]

You're right. Back when Cameron signed on to Aquaman didn't Ari stalk her at her kid's school? None the less, considering that she was joking, it can be overlooked. Ari had a lot on his mind and only talks to Dana when he wants something anyway, so he may have just been so distracted that he didn't pick up on it.
Yeah, he meets her at the school...and ends up getting a ride home from her :) . That was my thinking...but they do tend to do things like this a lot. Either way, it's not huge to the story.

Amanda literally cost Ari the NFL. She has to die.

Piven is a very good actor...I was very happy when he started to get recognized by the Emmy's. Hopefully he can branch out from this though.

It comes with basically any comedy though. How I Met Your Mother, The Office, 30 Rock, they all do the same thing. Even Curb Your Enthusiasm. In one of the season one episodes Larry mentioned his kids and I believe Suzie did once as well, while in later episodes (especially The End and The Black Swan) it was clearly established that Larry does not have children (at least not in the Curb-verse). Comedies really don't take as much care as dramas to maintain continuity.

This episode needs to be submitted to the academy next year. Piven hit a home run last night.

[piccolo]

Ari must take his revenge and get her blacklisted from Hollywood or something. She must be destroyed.

I don't get why she is so bitter. Ari went to her, tried to make peace, and asked her what she would do if she got the Warners job and she told him that she would blacklist every one of his clients. What the **** was Ari supposed to do? Give the job of president of the biggest studio in Hollywood to a woman who openly admitted that she would use it to keep his clients out and essentially destroy him? How could she really be suprised that Ari would not help her get it?

I don't either. What did he do to her anyway, just deny a promotion? She's a bigwig now anyway. Thats really no reason to try to destroy him like that. That was a potential billion dollar contract with the NFL, not to mention the potential consequences with his family.

It was actually an evil thing to do. I really think she does have to die, at this point.

[Dark Donnie]

Yeah, while Ari cost her that job...she still has her current job and still has the potential to move up down that line(or did). That was a little overboard. Potentially ruining a guys business and family life...I wouldn't be surprised if some of her clients left. While Ari is rough at times he gets the job done and is the most successful agent in town.

[kguillou]

I knew there had to be a twist coming.When Ari made peace with Lizzie, it all just seemed too...neatly wrapped. I was glad they made peace but i was also like "what? thats it? after all that?". Then at the end...bam. Amanda must die.

[Christopher Nolan]

how many episodes will this season have? wouldnt suprise me if the writers let vince reach the bottom of his career and in the last season he bounces back. hollywood loves comebacks!

[Superfreak]

I'm getting this vibe that Vince might not bounce back. A Buddy Holly/Rchie Valenz type of ending.

but damn I love the idea of Drama in a cartoon. It's a really brilliant approach, and it fits the character so damn well. All Drama needs is an inspirational cameo from a solid voice actor, that he could respect. There are a handful of recognizable ones.

[El Bastardo]

I think its great. Vince has spent the past 7 seasons living a crazy life style, it was all bound to catch up with him eventually. How many other great actors has it happened to? Its a real risk in the business and it is the most development we've seen from Vince in a long time. I'm loving this season.

Last night's episode was fantastic. Much credit to Piven. The scene with him finding out the tapes have been published was amazingly well acted.
:up:

Fantastic scene. Piven's phenomenal.

maybe Peter Cullen or John DiMaggio(guy does Marcus from Gears of War, and Bender from Futurama)

[Matt]

My guess is they'd go with a more famous one like Seth MacFarlane, Hank Azaria, or Harry Shearer.

[Cory]

they coulda done much better than vince with a coke problem. id rather see it with drama, not the main character. it seems desperate...and i must be right since the final season was cut to 6 episodes and maybe a movie

[Blackman]

With Drama..idk it wouldve seemed more depressing to me. The guy who cant catch a brake turns to coke.

[Matt]

Not really, Wahlberg has been saying since before the season started that there would be six final episodes in 2011 to wrap things up and then a movie. An eight season run is great, but I can see why the cast and crew are ready to move on, but to use it as evidence of some kind of decline in quality is beyond reaching.

[Cory]

which would be more believable then reaching for a story. and E and scott bumping heads...hey it wasnt working, lets make them friends. im sorry, but they are trying to hard. wahlberg mustve been busy with the other guys up until he made a small cameo. this **** is gettin so typical and pointless. i literally called everything in the last episode. soon ...E will have problems with sloan...which is also a pointless story,,,other then the ass ****ing, theres nothing interesting about that story.

oh..and Ari and Liz. please. the girl had an affair with a married man and shes supposed to be the good guy going after the good.bad guy. comon. and ari losing the NFL. jesus the NFL shouldnt of even been involved if this was the storyline.

yes an 8 season run is great. the cast and crew are moving on bc they dont have a choice, if there was better storylines they would stay. honestly dude where the **** r these guys gonna go now. Turtle could be a hobbit. and yes, the quality has been declining. its like they are trying to find any celebrity scoop they can to put into the show. uh Foreshadowing..Lindsey Blowhan..quote Ari. jesus...the series, or movie, is gonna end with Vince jacking off and accidentally killing himself with a noose around his neck.

judging by the dialogue, vince did coke at the party...then once or twice later, not addicted and drugged out.

im sorry. maybe its just me, but this show went from great to average very fast. now it seems like its just begging for story lines,

BUT, WHO ELSE LOVES.....

WILLIAM WALSH

[Cory]

and entourage as a movie is about as appealing as a 24 movie... 24 stopped being good like 4 years ago.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think a 24 Movie has more appeal...it'd translate pretty damn well, I think. I'd have to be sold on an Entourage movie.

I like where they're taking the story. Vince has been having a ton of fun, for quite a while. Things seem to be getting darker...and I like that. His lifestyle is starting to catch up with him. E's life is supposed to be boring in comparison. He's settled down, so I think the writing with him is where it's at on purpose.

I'm just starting to feel bad for Drama, now.

And yes, that scene where Ari discovers the story broke and knows who's on the phone...fantastic acting. Piven managed to nail the heartbroken look, even before taking the call because he knew what was going to be said.

[Blackman]

Yeah the most recent ep was probably my favorite of the seasn. And honestly I think its in the top 5 best acted Entourage episodes ever

[Conebone69]

this season really sucks, oh hey we r running out of ideas so instead of ending it lets make vince have a drug problem with a porn star.


gotta be ****ing kidding me.

This season does NOT suck. It might not be as fresh as the previous seasons but its still a really solid show! Still the best show on TV in my opinion! I think the reason you think its bad is because the other seasons were so great.

Yeah I just realized there is only 9 episodes left in the entire show!! :wow: I hope thats enough time to wrap up the show well. Personally, the direction I think there going with this vince is going to go into this slump with alcohol and drug addiction.

Who else should think the show should end with all of the guys moving out and making it on there own. turtle becomes successful with the tequila business/or something else and then jamie lynn moves back and they get back together and get there own place (mostly because I cant see this new chick sticking around for too long)

Drama finally lands a good role in a movie/or tv series (maybe johnnys bananas?? HAHA!). E goes on to become a successful manager, and leaves vince as his manager on good terms. He also has a good marriage with sloan and they have a baby. Vince is struggling with his career in the last season and is at his all time low. Then in the last episode he lands a role in the biggest movie of his career and wins oscars and all these awards.
Then the movie could be about the boys getting back together one last time to live it up like they use to

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Isn't next season rumored to be the final season? I think if this season was the final hurdle, it'd be marketed as it...just to grab however many viewers might have dropped out during it's run.

I think with the show ending, Vince's entourage should end... and there should be a reason for that, and it usually goes along with losing one's celebrity, or death.

I just like the idea, because it'd really hammer the idea that all these guys have leaned on Vince so heavily. Pretty much relied on him for life. And to have that all suddenly evaporate, would be something excessively interesting to see.

[Blackman]

OT: Did anyone watch How to Make It In America

What has to do with what, again?

I'm sorry. You and the other have braintrust have, as of yet, failed to show the path of impeccable logic and reasoning that is clearly at work here.

[Blackman]

Good episode tonight.
I was really hoping E would take a swing at Scott or Vince and am I the only one who think Johnny Bananas is a terrible idea lol

[El Bastardo]

I think Johnny's Bananas is brilliant. It was nice to see E take a stand with people, though, even if he still backed down in front of Vince.

[M.O.Steel]

but he should have continued it with vince.

johnny bananas looks horrible, but i have a feeling that in the show, it will become the next simpsons. and he would have found his calling.

[M.O.Steel]

True. But I really like the idea of Billy Walsh turning to animation. It makes him come off as more of an artist. IMO anyways.

yeah i definitely like that angle because the entire 7 seasons it felt like johnny never found his groove. i feel that this is it.

billy walsh is a good character. i like the change he took.

[Matt]

but he should have continued it with vince.

johnny bananas looks horrible, but i have a feeling that in the show, it will become the next simpsons. and he would have found his calling.

Of course it looks horrible. All of the fictional movies, tv shows, etc are overexaggerated, almost satirical spoofs of the genres they represent. This is done for humor, I think.

[Blackman]

...I thought Queen's Blvd and Aquaman looked good :(

[Matt]

...I thought Queen's Blvd and Aquaman looked good :(

Haha, Queens Blvd was the typical, artsy looking movie and all we saw of Aquaman was Vince doing the Christopher Reeve run on a pier.

Haha.

queen's blvd looked good, but in real life, no one would think adrian grenier would be "perfect" for aquaman as the guy as the AICN-type guy (rainn wilson's character) describes him.

but i liked the costume, and the idea of cameron making an aquaman considering his love of the water is very very intriguing

no way..hahaha. i think that was before JC got on board tho. Cameron gave vince an aquaman action figure (after their meeting), it was all navy blue with a giant silver A on his chest (and blond hair).

I'm still laughing at the idea of an Air-Walker movie, and of Adrian Grenier cast to play it.

Keep in mind, the guy only described Vince as perfect once Vince bribed him with hookers. And its fanboys you're talking about. If tomorrow, Chris Nolan announced that he was casting Woody Allen as Robin in Batman 3, you'd have a group of fanboys who would scream how brilliant this is until they are blue in the face.

Anyhow, last night's episode was great. Ari's meltdown was awesome.

[Christopher Nolan]

great episodes..one of the best of all time..

i don't think that's true. he said vince is perfect for the role, but he will slander him anyway, and the hookers "convinced" him not to do it. E (or someoen said) you know vince would make a great aquaman, and rainn says, he would make a great aquaman, but it's all about what i say" or something like that.

and i didn't really understand what you were trying to say in the rest of the post

[M.O.Steel]

nice episode yesterday, its going back to the good old days.

i really don't like the way vince treats E. In ari's defense tho, amanda did still his baby, and then wants to give him the scraps. hardly fair.

[piccolo]

I thought Vince was about to start beating Sasha.



lol

I was hoping she would share her thoughts on the spanish inquisition. :up:

[MessiahDecoy123]

Turtle's gonna get wacked!

[Mister J]

These last two eps have really brought it.

I thought they were going to half-ass Vince's flirtation with self-destruction (because, let's face it, we know he's going to come out relatively unscathed), but they're going for some nice depth.

Piven's range in the restuarant meltdown was a 10. :up:

[El Bastardo]

Kevin Connolly directed it, too.

[Compi716]

Is anybody else really just starting to hate this show? I don't know what it is, but lately everything about it other than Drama and Ari has just been (in my opinion) God awful. The problem is, I can't stop watching it. I've gone this far...I need to know how it ends. It's a bit of a struggle, though...anything Vince does is groan worthy.

[piccolo]

fuuu Vince

At least he's in LA. Celebrities there can rape and kill people and get away with community service.

[Yurka]

The writing on entourage always impresses me, really enjoyed the finale :up:

[kguillou]

Great finale, but damn they left it on a hell of a cliffanger. ITs gonna be a long year's wait til the final 6 episodes.

[Blackman]

Wow that was great. Darkest episode ever. Adrien Grenier always gets flack as being the least talented out of the guys but he really pulled his own.
And after 7 seasons the thing I have been praying for happened
Vince got the sh** out of him. And even better by Eminem!

ALso
Did it look like Drama was going to take the rap for Vince? Thats an interesting angle but
1. Vince has coke in his system
2. It's on Vince's person
3. People at the party will say VInce was the one acting high

It would've been better if Turtle offered to do it. IDK it just seems that Turtle would show how much he cares for Vince and it's not something I would expect him to do

and how much time could you get for that much coke?

Hell of a cliffhanger too. Good cameos from Minka Kelly, Christina Aguleira. I'm disappointed Ari wasn't there with the other guys at the end though. I know hes going through his own things, but he considers VInce his close friend and it hasnt really felt like that since Season 5.

Also has Mrs. Ari come off as annoying this past season?

[Catman]

Adrien Grenier always gets flack as being the least talented out of the guys but he really pulled his own.

No, not really. Especially when you compare it to Jeremy Piven's meltdown in the previous episode.

[kguillou]

Also has Mrs. Ari come off as annoying this past season?

YES. TO me she came off as a selfish b**** this season. If you think about it, if she hadnt pressured the hell out of Ari to fire Lizzie in the first place then none of this mess would have happened. Ari didnt wanna fire her but he wanted to please his wife so he did it anyway and a s*** storm ensued which led his wife to leave him. To me that was unfair on her part.

[Catman]

She wanted Lizzie fired because she was a ****/home-wrecker and was afraid that Arie would do something with her. So, yeah, it created an even bigger mess but her reasons were justified.

[Blackman]

She just came off as more whiny this season. The whole Lizzie thing, yeah he shouldve fired her, but her getting pissed about the hug was kind of lame.
And when the Ari thing leaked. She didnt seem concerned that her husband is humilated but that the other people act towards her. ANd then her complaining that Ari is distant...idk where she was raised but I'm sure so many people would prefer her idea of "distant" than a husband who doesnt even speak to her

To me it was annoying

[Matt]

Yeah, Mrs. Ari was a *****, but in all fairness, Ari said himself that he still would not have given Lizzie the head of TV job even if his wife was not pressuring him. Ari should've fired both Andrew and Lizzie long ago, so he brought it on himself and I don't blame her for being pissed after his restuarant melt down.

Still, great finale. Can't wait for the back six.

[piccolo]

Who would get more money in a divorce, Ari or his wife? She's loaded, isn't she?

[Matt]

She seems to have more liquid assetts but Ari owns the biggest agency in the world.

[antsman41]

If she isn't Mrs. Ari after this...

What do we call her?

[Blackman]

No, not really. Especially when you compare it to Jeremy Piven's meltdown in the previous episode.
Yes, really. Grenier for the past 7 seasons has been called the weakest actor in the group if you look around and he gave the best performance that he ever has. That might not be saying much because his character is so flimsy, but he really portrayed "out of control" pretty well

and right now Mrs. Ari is ex-Mrs. Ari

Season 2 Premiere of the Mile High Clique is up:

Mile High Clique Season 2 Premiere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SeiIYbIXpI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SeiIYbIXpI)



I can't believe it's only 10 episodes on season 7.

And 10th one has to be a freaking cliffhanger!!! :cmad:

We have to wait next year just to see the last season of Entourage.:doh:

Great show nevertheless.

I do like Seasons 4-6 more than season 7.

Sloan did not have enough screentime on this season either:csad: I thought she would have more due to her getting married to E.

[DACrowe]

Man. That was a great finale. Entourage usually has great finales, but this was the first time they ended things with them all in a bad place as opposed to a shrug...or a last minute save the day by Martin Scorsese. ;)

I actually am very happy with season 7. Other than the finale (and Meddow Soprano) season 6 royally sucked and I thought I was done with the show. Now S7 was not nearly as good as the show at its height, seasons 2-4, or arguably season 5 as well. But it was great to see them all crash and burn.

I thought Mark Cuban's "No strings attached $5 million" to Turtle was unbelievable. But otherwise loved it. While I hate to see Mrs. Ari break up with Ari (especially over such superficial reasons of, "Everyone knows you have a potty mouth and I'm humiliated!"), but it felt a long time coming.

And Vince finally having the crap knocked out of him, especially by Marshall was terrific. Vinnie has been a real tool/douche since season 5 and it was nice to see him get taken down a few notches. I just hope he doesn't make Drama take the blame for his coke and stupidity. But the way he talked to Johnny and E made me really hate him. E may have ridden to success on Vince's coattails, but E also saved Vince's career at least twice and along with Ari is the one responsible for making him a success. I was hoping for some resolution.

P.S. No more crappy acting from Sasha Grey it looks like! Yay.

Great finale, albeit I don't know ow they can put a happy ending on the show in 6 episodes after this season. But it will have a happy ending. We all know that.

[Superfreak]

you know, I was chattin with my sis about the season, and we came to the conclusion that it would be awesome if Vince's career kind of evaporated, and that Drama is the actor with the chops, winning a real award at the end of the series. Infact, I've come to enjoy watching Drama more than Vince.

(it's strange, lately in the TV shows that I like to watch, I've been hating the lead character, and have been finding that the supporting characters are more interesting. Entourage(hate vince), and Lost (hate Jack), but I enjoy all the other characters)

[The Riddler]

finale was pretty solid.

minka kelly made things solid.

very solid.

[Eklypze]

I was so cheering Eminem on, I was like "**** that ******** up Em!!!" I totally wasnt expecting to see Eminem in the finale at all

[Dark Donnie]

Great finale for a great comeback season....sucks next season is the last.

[Blackman]

REwatching it Did it seem like Drama was the only one who cared deeply for Vince or at least the one who showed it?
I understand they had other things going on particularly Ari. But I'm sure Terrance wouldve waited for E and idk what Billy was doing. But it seemed like they were like: Well the intervention didn't work. Whatever. Seemed like a perfect time for that classic E-talk that happens at least once a season

And is I said I hope Turtle tries to take the rap

[M.O.Steel]

i kinda liked the "i don't care, i give up" attitude. vinny was being a real *****.

awesome finale. one of the best episodes of entourage.

[MessiahDecoy123]

I feel bad for whoever takes the blame for the coke. None of the entourage dudes would last long in prison.

[Blackman]

i kinda liked the "i don't care, i give up" attitude. vinny was being a real *****.

awesome finale. one of the best episodes of entourage.
Oh yeah Vin was being a real mca**hole
But I'm saying didnt even seem like they were like: "Whatever he's a idiot. F*** him" It just seemed liked they moved on abruptly and idk if I had a friend who I knew my whole life I wouldnt throw that away just from what Vin did/what happened in the intervention.
I was really surprised E didnt do anything. Even though that Marshall slug was awesome, I wouldve been even better to me if E did it.

The last one you can kind of see that Drama is about to speak up. The clip is on youtube, but I cant post it because of the swearing

[kguillou]

Honestly like Blackman said, the only thing that slightly bothered me about the finale was how little Vince's friends tried in actually trying to talk some sense into him. I mean, in the "intervention" scene, everybody was silent while Vince completely tongue-lashed them. Its like..they just sat there and took it, no one had a rebuttal, no one tried to talk sense into him. I was expecting at least Eric or Walsh to really smack some real sense into him, but they seemed defeated. I dunno, that irked me a bit.

[M.O.Steel]

fair enough. i actually think it is actually because of bad acting and not necessarily on purpose. they did that a couple of times this season, where they are really pissed and about to blow up, but then it abruptly ends with a whatever. especially with E. he did that a couple of times.

[DIRECTOR]

i don't get Ari's wife's problem????

She is a sh**ty wife, no support system whatsoever.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Yeah Ari's wife is extremely high maintenance. He's always bending over backwards for her and two seconds later she's complaining about something else.

[kguillou]

Even though Ari had a complete meltdown at the restaurant scene, he was essentially defending his family. Ari had good reason blow up, Amanda had been threatening his career and his family for half the season, so he had good reason to tongue lash her and he was trying to protect his family. Yeah it was embarrassing, but i think Ari's wife failed to realize what he was trying to do for her, he was doing what a good husband does and stood up for his family. I still think she comes off as selfish.

[kguillou]

Double post.

[Catman]

Ari's wife is extremely high maintenance.

That's because she's a rich girl.

[M.O.Steel]

i agree, i really hated her reaction to this

[Mister J]

I never really bought the supposed harm/strain that resulted from the leaking of the tapes. So Ari can be a boorish ass. Not really seeing it as the end of days.

What's worse is trying to shoehorn him as a misogynist and that his wife (and apparently, sister) take personal umbrage to it. Ari flips on everyone, irrespective of gender, race, sexual orientation, body type, whatever. Making his wife's reaction as if he's some woman-hating prick was just thin and ended with Mrs. Ari coming across like an entitled, spoiled *****. That's a failing.

Hell of a finale though. Definitely the most intense/'sophisticated' the show has bothered to go. I think everyone pretty much knew a well-deserved asskicking was coming when an Eminem party was mentioned and Vince decided to snort up a little more.

Should be a good last six eps ...where everything gets wrapped up in a nice little bow, because it's Entourage.

[kguillou]

Well here's what i predict, the last 6 eps will focus on Vince getting his act together. By the end, he'll be himself again but his career won't be. Then this will lead into the Entourage movie where Vince will get his career back on track one last time. At least thats what i think.

I never really bought the supposed harm/strain that resulted from the leaking of the tapes. So Ari can be a boorish ass. Not really seeing it as the end of days.

What's worse is trying to shoehorn him as a misogynist and that his wife (and apparently, sister) take personal umbrage to it. Ari flips on everyone, irrespective of gender, race, sexual orientation, body type, whatever. Making his wife's reaction as if he's some woman-hating prick was just thin and ended with Mrs. Ari coming across like an entitled, spoiled *****. That's a failing.

Hell of a finale though. Definitely the most intense/'sophisticated' the show has bothered to go. I think everyone pretty much knew a well-deserved asskicking was coming when an Eminem party was mentioned and Vince decided to snort up a little more.

Should be a good last six eps ...where everything gets wrapped up in a nice little bow, because it's Entourage.

i think it was meant to reflect what happened with Mel Gibson and Christian bale. So tapes could really hurt. but i don't think it really matters with agents, regardless of how famous you are

i agree with ari's wife somehow taking it personally. that's stupid. he is like that with everyone, worst with Lloyd. she should be upset that he said that stuff and she is embarrassed, not because he doesn't like women.

Well here's what i predict, the last 6 eps will focus on Vince getting his act together. By the end, he'll be himself again but his career won't be. Then this will lead into the Entourage movie where Vince will get his career back on track one last time. At least thats what i think.

sounds like a pretty good prediction. :up:

see, I'd kind of like this, but it be Drama who truely gets the career. He deserves it more. He's officially my favorite character on the show now.

Pros and Cons of Season 7?

[+]Vince's story/the darker side of Hollywood. Took 7 seasons but they finally gave [+]Vince alot to do
[+]Adrien Grenier improving his acting in the last couple of eps
[+]Jeremy Piven's acting
[+]Kevin Dillon and Drama's story
[+]The beginning of Ari storyline from the NFL team up until ep 8
[+]The Eric vs Scott stuff. ANd really Scott Caan in general
[+]The return of Bill Walsh. I always liked him. Ive been waiting for him to return


[-]Turtle's story
[-]The seperation of Ari and Vince. No Ari meetings, Ari not at the hospitaletc.
Sasha Grey. Can't act, and the writers tried to hard to make her legit. Instead of getting a porn star to try and act, they shouldve gotten an actress to play a porn star
[-]Mrs. Ari getting pissed over seemingly nothing.
[-]Even though I liked Vince's story, it seemed that his addiction came out of no where. One second there was that stunt thing and then next thing you know he was doing lines

Any more?
Overall a pretty good season

See, i thought Sasha Grey was pretty damn good actually. I mean to me it seemed like she had very natural chemistry with Adrian Grenier and i thought they played off each other pretty nice this season. She aint gonna win any awards or nothing but i thought her acting was solid.

i'm sorry, i gotta go with BM. I really didn't like her acting at all. but has nothing to do with who she is. I would said the same thing if it was megan fox, or meryl streep.

i felt the was zero chemistry there. there was more chemistry in the 20 sec meeting with scarlett johanssen than with grey over the multiple episode story arc. She was brought in merely for the shock value.

Finally saw the season finale yesterday and damn, what a great ending. I'm glad they didn't tidy everything up at the end but actually have it end with most of them being in a bad place.

[Golgo-13]

My only regret is that Drama didn't actually see the Johnnys Banana's presentation that was set up for him. It looked pretty awesome.

Glad Vince has fallen from grace. He's been too goodie-to-shoes every since season 1.

i agree. it's kinda refreshing to see almost everyone in a terrible situation, including turtle.

I don't see why everyone thinks Vince or a member of the entourage will end up in prison. It was a small bag of coke and he's a celebrity. Worst case scenario, rehab.

This. My roommate keeps saying how Vince is definitely going to jail and what not. Nah, no way. With only six episodes left, they won't have time to do a jail storyline. I'm thinking the next season will start with Vince finishing rehab or will have just left it. Something in that general direction.

I'm really hoping that all the loose ends we have are tied up by no later than the second episode of the season, if not the first.
