Ari: What the FUCK are you wearing?
Assistant: It's my Andre 3000, (does the "Hey Ya" finger dance) You Like?
Ari: I HATE!
Best fuckin' show on HBO right now.
I don't know if there's already a thread for this, but it's the worst fucking show HBO has put on the air since Sex and the City... and for you that like S&TC, it's the worst fucking show put on the air since ever.
Lets hug it out bitch!
Jeremy Piven steals the show... and Kevin Dillon is great too
i like jeremy piven but have never been able to watch this show, though my roomate loves it. it seems so smug and insider that i cant stand it.
I heard Ratner directed an episode.
Quote from: StefenI heard Ratner directed an episode.
I dont think so...
modernage... I suggest you get/rent Season 1. Its only 2 CDs, 8 episodes, 1/2 hour each. You watch it very fast and quickly get an idea of the show. Its fun, and clever.
2nd season they are already working on 13 episodes, and they are going to do more for season 3. So it seems that they are happy and they are getting good response.
I think its very well done and very real (if I can use that word to describe Hollywood)
The recent episode where they go to Sundance is pretty classic, even JC shows up.
Quote from: killafilmeven JC shows up.
Jesus Christ? seriously, this show sucks. themodernage nailed it.
Entourage is pretty classic man. Don't hate until you actually watch a few episodes. Idiot's like you guys are the same people that hate Six Feet Under without watching an episode, and the same people that love The Soprano's without watching an episode! You fucko's!
yeah i like this show. it's sort of a guilty pleasure for me. though i haven't seen any of the second season.
jeremy piven and kevin dillon are both hilarious. and i really really like samaire armstrong.
Quote from: Slick Shoesjeremy piven and kevin dillon are both hilarious. and i really really like samaire armstrong.
Agreed.
i watched the Sundance episode tonite. can we all agree that the main character is boring as hell? or is that the point?
also: i wish JC would quit wasting his time doing cameos and make a fucking movie to rock my world already!
All the characters add something... Yeah probably Vince, the main character, is the most boring... but that I think its the whole point. He is the reason why they are all there. They are living the good life and busting their ass for the guy, and he is the less interesting of all
Quote from: andykYeah probably Vince, the main character, is the most boring...
To the writers' credit, they made him not retarded this season.
You idiots are missing the point. Vince is the "star" but the shows main character is actually Eric. I figured this out the first episode, but i guess the people that have only cought one episode don't know this.
Atleast Andy gets it.
and for that I ceamed my pants.
You know that episode in Season 1 where Vince meets with the young hotshot director? I couldn't help but try to draw parallels between that and Marky Mark meeting with Paul about Boogie Nights. Afterall, Wahlberg is one of the Executive Producers and the show is presumably inspired by his experiences of first coming to Hollywood...

I was thinking the same exact thing.
Well that is also the point... it reflects many experiences that Marky Mark had in his career... and thats why many people, including the agent and others are real life characters
Shut your whore mouth AndyK!
Whos house did you guys get together at to try and plot a way to get us to watch this show?

haha.
Since they put Carnivale to rest, and since Sopranos is between seasons and Six Feet Under is dying a slow and painful death, I have to agree that Entourage is the best thing on TV these days.
...Except maybe for Mythbusters, which is a totally different deal.

Hmmmmm, I'm not to sure how I like Mandy Moore guest spotting.
I used to LOVE her and I wanted to see her in the show... but it wasnt so cool... we'll see in other episodes how she does.
However, it was kinda bullshit because they were saying that they had the relationship 5 years ago. She said she was 20. She is 22 or 23 now so thats not possible. Also, 5 years ago she wasnt even doing movies. I met her in the Keys when she was working for MTV. Also met her mom. I think that was in 2001 and she was 18 at the most.
Mandy Moore is on it? Dude, im IN! Mandy Moore is awesome. I'm dead serious, she is just as cute as a button and sweet as a tart. I can't hate on her. Shes just too adorable.

I just might.
This last episode...
"Mandy Moore is Aquaman's Kryptonite."
"It's like Far Rockaway without the crack whores!"
Brilliant!
EW made the comparison that this show is like Sex and the City for men. thoughts (for those who watch the show)?
there are some similarities, but i never really saw it like that.
what do you think, god damn?
Quote from: modageEW made the comparison that this show is like Sex and the City for men. thoughts (for those who watch the show)?
I can agree with that, more or less. My girlfriend condescendingly refers to Entourage as a "guy's show," even though she usually likes the sort of humor that the show offers. She used to watch it but she's soured on it the last couple of episodes, which I think are the best ones yet.

QuoteDAVID HOCHMAN
Published: August 16, 2005
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 - Rehashing box office grosses is so 2004. This summer, the hot subject at talent agencies and power breakfasts here has been the HBO series "Entourage."
" 'Did you hear what Ari said?' is now a regular feature of our Monday staff meetings," said Jeremy Zimmer, a founding partner at United Talent Agency. He was referring to Ari Gold, the show's insufferable talent agent, played by Jeremy Piven in an expensive Caesar haircut. Meanwhile, at International Creative Management, the agent Brian Sher said he got huge laughs by announcing at a staff meeting that the priority project at Warner Brothers this fall would be "Aquaman." That's the show's fictional underwater action movie starring the groovy pop idol of "Entourage," Vincent Chase (Adrien Grenier), and directed by James Cameron (the actual director of "Titanic" and "Terminator 2" fame, playing himself).
"Even the most senior agents got the joke," Mr. Sher said. " 'Entourage' has become part of the fabric of what we do."
In its sophomore season, the fizzy, insidery comedy about Vince and his "entourage" from Queens trying to make it in Hollywood has hit its stride, much the way "Sex and the City," the previous HBO sensation about four friends in search of fabulousness, free stuff and booty, did in season two. The Aug. 7 episode was the most-watched show in the series's history, according to Nielsen Media Research.
"I can tell something clicked because people are constantly e-mailing and calling and saying they want to do the show," said Doug Ellin, the show's creator and head writer. "But it wasn't like we consciously went out and said, 'This is gonna be our big year.' "
Yet, almost everything about "Entourage" is bigger this season: the budget is substantially higher, the writing staff has roughly doubled, its guest stars - including U2 and Mr. Cameron, who has a recurring role - are more impressive, and its plot lines more ambitious. Whereas the original eight episodes depicted its young characters as grateful for small breaks in indie films, by now Vince and his posse are grappling with a level of glitzy good times worthy of Us Weekly.
"We didn't truly know the show or these characters last year," said Rob Weiss, a co-producer and one of series's original writers.
Mr. Weiss's own Hollywood experience has provided ample fodder for the series. After making a big splash at the Sundance Film Festival in 1993 with "Amongst Friends," which he wrote and directed, he got a three-picture deal at Universal Pictures and dated celebrities like the actress Shannen Doherty, only to watch his career fizzle. "Hollywood success is a seesaw ride," Mr. Weiss said in an interview, "and it takes a while to figure out where you're going, which was true for our characters, too."
Each of the show's main players has "more to do" this season, said Mr. Ellin, who writes most of the episodes. Vince is adjusting to A-list stardom while wrestling with complicated feelings for his "Aquaman" costar, Mandy Moore. His manager, Eric (Kevin Connolly), is making the move from lackey to power broker. Ari gets to prove he's actually human, more or less, by opening the doors on his home life (though it's tough to feel compassion for a guy who chooses his star client over Grandpa to cut the challah at his daughter's bat mitzvah). Even Vince's half brother, Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), and his friend Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), who round out his "entourage," are reckoning with who they really are. Johnny, for instance, realized calf implants wouldn't make him manlier after all.
"The show has always been about the shallow moment-by-moment existence of life in the business," Mr. Ellin said, whether that entails deciding which plasma screen to buy or supermodel to date. "But we keep discovering subtleties, like, in Hollywood, even a guy who makes $5 million is constantly insecure and struggling."
One obvious change this season is that HBO hired new writers, including Chris Henchy and Brian Burns, both of whom are well situated to write about being on the periphery of fame. Mr. Henchy is married to Brooke Shields, and Mr. Burns is the brother of the director Ed Burns. They are also primarily known as television writers, whereas Mr. Ellin and Mr. Weiss have written mostly screenplays. The former Seinfeld writer Larry Charles is also on board. That may be one reason the series's episodes are now developing along a more traditional season-long trajectory: Vince gets "Aquaman," Vince loses "Aquaman," Vince gets "Aquaman" as long as he doesn't mess things up with Mandy.
The flashier locations also help. This season, with its higher production budget, "Entourage" shot scenes during the Sundance Festival, at a live U2 concert and courtside during a real Lakers game. This last setting provided a delicious meta-"Entourage" moment. The show's five stars sat in the $2,000 seats normally reserved for Ari Emanuel, the real-life Hollywood talent agent who is the model for Mr. Piven's character.
"We keep pushing these guys into situations and opportunities they'd really be in if they were living this life," Mr. Weiss said.
In a weird way, though perhaps not surprisingly, the show's increasing popularity is giving its stars more opportunities to live like the characters they play.
"I was at a party in the Hamptons this weekend with some buddies I grew up with," said Mr. Connolly, an actor who had always been the lesser light among his close friends Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. "All of a sudden, they part the way for us to get in and it's, like, 'What can we do for you?' So, yeah, I guess the show is definitely registering."
Thats a great article. I'm very happy about this show. I think its great and the people behind it are really trying to make it good instead of just writing predictable and stupid stories and dialogue.
It sucks that the season is almost over, and HBO takes forever to go from one season to another... especially when people like a show!
Quote from: RegularKarateMakes sense, Sex and the City sucked too.
Hopefully so do you, or else our first date will disappoint.

Are you sure K? I heard somewhere that this season was going to be 22 episodes. So if this started the same week as Six Feet Under then it's only about half way done. However, I could be wrong.
No, this one has 14 episodes, and they will do 22 for season 3.
They did almost double the episodes from the first one (had only 8) and as soon as the new season started they got greenlighted for 22 episodes on the 3rd. Problem is that I guess the new season wont start until next summer, which would be bad because the show has a good momentum now and people want more.
Anyone else think tonights episode, second to last of the season, is perhaps the best? Piven tore it up.
It was excellent. It was one of the first episodes that really shake up the plot completely too, and makes you think what the hell happens next. It's been very predictable so far.
Very good episode, and it sucks that the season ends next week.
Anybody seen the first episode?
I was good, with lots of Ari which makes it better. However I hate this 24 minute episodes. After a year off it doesnt seem enough... they should have started with 2 or 4 episodes like 24 does to get you excited about where the storyline for this season is going...
I'm just glad they started the season off with the Aquaman premiere as opposed to making the whole season the ramp-up to the premiere.
Turtle's mom had the best line though. "Who is that animal?"
The season hasnt been that great, until now... this past episode was excellent... it had everything.
Anybody following this?
yeah, i'm watching it. but i dont like myself for it. :oops:
In a rare instance of completely disagreeing with RK, I really like this show. However, I've only seen the three most recent episodes.
I really am liking the new season, I loved the last two, and i think they're doing a good job at getting ready for a nice shocking episode...just since everything is so feel good right now, so I'm interested to see how bad things will get...i also love the references they make, did anyone catch the Kevin smith reference? Hilarious
you mean that studio is trying to sink the AQUAMAN sequel because is going to be written by Kevin Smith and directed by Michael Bay? :bravo:
Cameron, Haggis guest star on 'Entourage'
Oscar winners James Cameron and Paul Haggis had definite ideas about how they wanted to play themselves on "Entourage."
In the HBO series about behind-the-scenes Hollywood, Cameron directed a fictional big-budget titled "Aquaman," starring upcoming actor Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier).
"Mr. Cameron didn't want `Aquaman' to bomb, which, fortunately, we figured out a way to make sure that didn't happen," executive producer Doug Ellin said at the Television Critics Association's summer meeting this week.
The crew showered Haggis, who wrote the screenplay for "Crash" and "Million Dollar Baby," with compliments.
"Paul Haggis was just great. He was open to everything, and he was very, very, very cool," Ellin said.
"Good actor as well," said Kevin Dillon, who plays Johnny Drama.
"They seemed happy to not be directing, happy acting," added Kevin Connolly, who plays Chase's manager, Eric.
The show never addresses whether the fake "Aquaman" was a critical success, a decision Cameron also influenced.
"Two things I'll say about it is he didn't insist, but he asked nicely and he's got a strong presence, so we decided to go with that," Ellin said. "I don't think he's made a bad movie. So we like to think this was a very good movie."
Now in its third season, the show's success has changed the lives of its little-known cast.
"I just bought a house that I can't afford," Connolly said. "We're still in the early stages of it, so hopefully it continues for a few more years."
Tonights episode was great... for all the fans Drama is getting some fucking action!
"f%*k commerce!"
definitely my favorite episode of the season so far.
I'm loving where they're going with Vince this season. And I know I might catch hell for saying this but Johnny Drama is moving into Kramer territory for me.
I've only caught 2 episodes this season :(
Only three more episodes left? :yabbse-undecided: :yabbse-angry:
That's twelve episodes for S-3, I thought they were gonna make 22, or so said kal...
I don't know where he got that but I don't think HBO has ever done more than 13 episodes in a season for any show.
They did for S&C, 18 eps. on several seasons and 20 on its final season, although it was a two part season.
Oz had 16 on its 4th.
This damn thing it's a half hour show, they should make the season longer.

they said they did 22 or 24 together... but of course the fuckers decided to release them in 2 parts... always the same thing with HBO, same as they did with Sporanos before or the last season of Sex & The City... just keep the bastards hooked, waiting and paying...
I think the reason why they are calling it a two-part 3rd season is that the rest of the episodes will air in January and not next June.
I very much enjoy the show, but I think keeping it short and sweet and the episodes few is a very good idea: each episodes very much coasts along in the air and never really touches the ground, if anyone knows what I mean, and I feel like any more development in any department will rob the show of its cool and charm. every episode is like an illusion, and they have utilized the thirty-minute, twelve episode structure well to maintain the illusion, I feel like anything longer will force them to debunk their hollywood powerplay myths and delve into real human territories, which is so not the reason everyone watches this show. I mean, that's what glamour is; a short-lived illusion. too much fetishization of the glitz turns it pornographic, and too much realism makes it cynical.
edit: nevermind, I just caught a few more episodes of it, and it is very pornographic.
i know this is a bit late, but...

you know what. i'm totally wrong. i had just watched Inside Man a few days prior and had remembered saying it was Leung in that but somehow mixed them up in my mind.
This has just started airing in the Uk and so far I'm enjoying it quite a lot. It's most definately a guilty pleasure, though. Perhaps if the episodes werent so short it wouldnt be that way. I often feel an episode is just getting somewhere beyond the glitz (only with Eric) and then it ends and resets.
I was also glad to see the "Dead Head" from Freaks and Geeks again as Eric's potential love interest.
'Entourage' gets 12 for Season 4
The boys are back on HBO. "Entourage," the comedy series featuring young men on the make in Hollywood, has officially been granted a fourth season that is expected to unspool early next year. Twelve episodes were ordered. " 'Entourage' is a standout hit for HBO," HBO Entertainment president Carolyn Strauss said. "Thanks to a terrific cast and razor-sharp writing and directing, this smart, funny show has become a genuine phenomenon." Executive producers of "Entourage" are Mark Wahlberg, Doug Ellin and Stephen Levinson.
I haven't seen this until recently, but I keep reading that it's hilarious and really solid, so I checked it out.
Is it really that entertaining to watch rich stoners have stupid conversations and whining to be taken more seriously?
ummmm....yes? :ponder:
This is Sigurboys new favorite show. I ate the first 3 seasons in two days. This series is a 100% character-driven but every character is fucking great. Jeremy Piven playing Ari Gold must be my favorite - that's where I see myself in 10 years.
it's kinda hard to give a shit in some episodes when the douche bags are acting like jerks over a couple of million dollars. also EVERY episode is a happy ending. when it's not, there is absolutely no tension cos you KNOW it'll be resolved probably in the first minute of the next one -- this applies to season finales maybe.
still, it works cos it's short.
A feel good series, perfect for a feel good person like me :yabbse-smiley:

i've seen three episodes of this show....and this quote pretty much sums up how i feel about it:
"On a scale of hilarity, "Entourage" is somewhere between a dead Christmas pony and getting raped by a bear with AIDS." - wwtd.com
The new episode last night was pretty good... the whole situation with Ari is great right now... like the ex-girlfriend thing.
I hope they stretch it a few more episodes before it goes back to normal with them...

no joke. they're a great duo, and the only reason to watch this season.
b/c the rest - so boring and tired. last night's episode was about taking a trip to Napa, and which girl Vince should bring. wtf, who cares. it's the same shit over and over and over. i wish this show would grow up just a little.
lol, agreed.
i did not like the vince/eric thing this episode, and the turtle/drama thing is only funny cause it happened to me once. i broke it off with this girl cause she kept saying my dog needed to go to school. some stupid dog came looking for trouble at the dogpark and my dog kicked his ass. never mess with my dog.
anybody seen last nights epsiode? ari crying and then going back to his old self was excellent... he is better every episode.
the whole thing with vince fucking the agent was also good. episodes are way too short.
yea, i'm not digging the 20 minute episodes. last night started late and ended at like 10:23. preparing for syndication?
Quote from: RegularKarate on July 19, 2005, 03:39:39 PM
I don't know if there's already a thread for this, but it's the worst fucking show HBO has put on the air since Sex and the City... and for you that like S&TC, it's the worst fucking show put on the air since ever.
i'm sure it's been said already but Entourage is Sex And The City for dudes. i had never really seen S&TC before but the other night i watched an episode or two on OnDemand because it was late and there was nothing on and i'm surprised i haven't heard the comparison more often. neither are very funny, or dramatic. its just watching people live cooler lives than you and admiring all their cool stuff. i think it's gotten slightly better since the beginning when it was more about "whoa dude, we're nailing chicks!" and now it's a little bit more of a behind-the-scenes soap opera. i don't know why i watch this show. oh right, because vince's agent is EXTREMELY hot and he's totally gonna do her!
it's just fun...i mean i hate to talk, because i suck at it. but the show is just fun, and simply funny in some situations. personally i just turn off and watch, and i enjoy that. unfortunately i have yet to see the new season, but i can't wait to see a few of them.
This show is too good... just when Drama thinks he is becoming a name star he ends up begging Brett Ratner for a part in Rush Hour 3. And I smell trouble for E very soon. Everyone talks to him like he is a little shit (and he is).
Not enough Ari this episode, but I'm happy that even after all the shows end now this one will continue all summer.
"stop calling me 'trust fund baby', you fucking orangutang!" -adam goldberg talking to billy walsh... such a funny line
man, i thought the "season finale" was pretty weak. It's the same old shit, i don't want to see vince work with billy walsh anymore...i hope they fire him, or he quits or something like that.
wally balls.
well, it's a season finale technically, but season 4 starts right away. i'm happy we finally get to see a movie get made. typically it's always been : develop a movie, season ends, new season starts and movies already made. now that they're producers it should be more interesting. i think walsh will stir shit up, this second half of season 3 was rather boring.
Has anyone seen the season premiere? Bravo.
Without hesitation the best episode of the series ever. Such a nice change and really awesome to see the characters in a new perspective.
"Let's kill that motherfucker!" :bravo:
I really enjoyed it as well. The Billy Walsh character is a nice ode to Coppola (who also did some adult movies before hitting it big, correct?) and, I'm sure, a handful of other newbie firebrand directors who probably watched that episode and cringed.
Generally speaking, I'm a pretty big fan of this show.
medellin looks really really bad. that episode bugged me. one half hour of mockumentary is the ENTIRE shoot? i'm starting to hate this show, but i know that i can't stop watching. i really want medellin to fail and for everybody to hate it and for vinnie's career to be over. him and his whole posse are TIRED!

it could make for a spectacular failure, which would be great for the show. we all know that it'll probably turn out ok, the show is always about the positive. at least they started playing with form. i enjoyed watching this episode more than the entire last season.
I'm sure the movie will be a success... but it will probably be a nightmare the whole season before it happens. I really liked the episode. Walsh is a great character to add to the mix and it was very well done. It would have been even better if Ari took a few days trip to Colombia with the boys instead of just talking from his office.
Watched the first and second season FINALLY.
This shows wack. All I had heard about it, and I watch it, and it's awful.
It's the show for people who list Gladiator and Office Space as their favorite movies of all time.
The guy I borrowed it from actually told me "Oh, if you like Curb, you'll LOVE this. It's like 100 times funnier and cooler"
What a dickhead show made for dickhead people.

Usually if I hate a show I don't make it past the first and second episode. They're either doing something right or you have way too much time on your hands.
Well, I'm on vacation from work this week.
Fuck you for judging me right.
EDIT: But to be honest, it took 2 seasons of Curb for me to fall in love. I watched the first disc of the first season and didn't like it at all. A year later I watched season 4 and fell in love and went back and watched season and loved that too.
The episodes seem shorter every week... give me an hour of Ari and Lloyd on a mission!!!
The last two or three episodes of this show has turned it into a shitty sitcom. I don't give a shit about Ari's fucking kids or what school they go to.
this last episode goes on record for hbo's lowest half-hour of programming.
example:
-turtle is out of the "good" weed
-vince reveals that he had a secret stash of turtle's good weed
-turtle brings three girls home from the grocery store, gets pulled over for having weed
-turtle gets let off because he knows vince, but he's gotta throw the weed in the sewer.
-guess what? turtle gets his weed back because he "put it on a ledge" in the sewer when he threw it down.
-turtle returns with the three girls, everyone gets high, but wait-- turtle thinks they might be running low on weed again!
-don't worry, vince lets turtle in on another little secret stash he's been hiding upstairs, and they get more weed.

meanwhile anna farris looks fucking insane and all of her scenes with e are awkward, embarassing, and unfunny.
this show has truly reached rock bottom (and i even used to be a big fan)

The last two or three episodes of this show has turned it into a shitty sitcom. I don't give a shit about Ari's fucking kids or what school they go to.
HBO's Most Watched SHITcom!

this last episode goes on record for hbo's lowest half-hour of programming.
example:
-turtle is out of the "good" weed
-vince reveals that he had a secret stash of turtle's good weed
-turtle brings three girls home from the grocery store, gets pulled over for having weed
-turtle gets let off because he knows vince, but he's gotta throw the weed in the sewer.
-guess what? turtle gets his weed back because he "put it on a ledge" in the sewer when he threw it down.
-turtle returns with the three girls, everyone gets high, but wait-- turtle thinks they might be running low on weed again!

so for those of you who didn't watch the episode.. lemme fill you in: that was about 2 minutes of the 27 minute episode.
i dont know why i even need to say this, the entourage diehards hopefully know where im coming from.. but this is a really fun season because the writers have taken a step back from crazy tension of vince's career and just let everyone breathe a bit.. and they've all done some growing up this season (especially ari). it's been very entertaining and just about the exact opposite of the negative criticism in my view.
looking forward to more awkward tension between E and vince...

couldnt agree more with cine.
ari has been great in all these episodes that some people here dislike. him reacting to his son school problem, or his wife kissing another guy, just like he did before when the daughter was going out with that kid. its just ari and his personality, which is one of the best things the show has. not only him as an agent, but as a father and husband.
the moment with drama and vince alone was funny just cause it never happens, and it shows how little they have in common. they have nothing to say to each other.
i like the past couple of episodes and the fact that no work stuff was mentioned. no walsh was also good. its time to bring him back though to continue with the story line for medellin and the new project. he'll definitely be back for the trip to cannes i guess.
I've always been a casual viewer, and I downloaded this episode after I read the previous posts. yeah, I can no longer tell this show apart from something like the OC, except the characters sometimes used their real names here. I enjoyed the show at times because you had a pretty boy whose charisma was unstoppable, and every hollywood caricature couldn't stop them. but now they're all just really dumb. ari became a pussy, with all of his great punchlines taken away from him (in exchange for stupid "real moments" that ended with him fucking his own wife). everything else was just pointless exercises of testerone. I got kinda depressed actually, that, after a date with a girl left too open ended for my liking, I had to come home to such subpar escapist entertainment. watching people trying to get high is lame to begin with. it's lamer when you thought it was going to deliver you from a mundane weeknight.
shouldn't gone karaokeing with the gay dudes instead.
Quote from: kal on August 15, 2007, 12:25:43 AMcouldnt agree more with cine clerkguy.
shit is so lazy and dumb and tired now. last sunday's episode was the worst i've seen of any show in some time. there was absolutely no narrative whatsoever. you can get better drama out of most reality tv shows. i don't really even like any of the characters anymore (save ari). drama is such a goddamn sleezeball. vince is so one-dimensional and boring, as is E. turtle could be good if he had something to do besides get stoned all day. none of the characters have really grown or learned anything since the first episode. it amazes me that the show has the female following that it does b/c it's so demoralizing to women. and what i can no longer get past is the idea of 4 guys in their late 20s/early 30s still living together. it worked in the beginning i guess, but now it's just weird and gay.
I couldn't believe how they wrapped up the Anna Faris story.
Vince: So she fired you?
Eric: yeah.
Vince: Would she date you?
Eric: Nope.
Let's move on
I've been defending this all along but that finale pissed me off...
The whole episode made no sense... the whole negotiation, the screening, the arab guy with his offer, the partying, etc... boring.
E was right in everything of course, but nobody fucking listens... and thats how it ends? All good? They have freaked out for stupid bullshit in the past but now they are ok with everyone hating the movie and giving it to Harvey for free to see what happens...
Same as that conclusion with Anna Faris that made no sense, this made also no sense. They run out of time and it looks stupid. They wasted too much fucking time with Drama chasing the girl and they cannot afford it cause every episode is like 15 minutes...
One year now to see what the fuck happened with the stupid movie, and the new production, and Walsh getting fired probably and we will not see him again.
I actually liked it. this episode wasn't about money in the end, and wasn't this part of entourage's charm--a bunch of rich dudes seeing through the bullshit and still behaving like they did when they were kids? they were almost players but then they weren't, and they were okay with it. that was cool. still, the show has now almost fully embraced its doucheness, so I still felt guilty liking something so douchey.
i was fine with it.. and then i realized that was the season finale and then i was a bit let down. i think the only thing i'm annoyed about is that it DID feel a bit rushed and they were suddenly REALLY cool about selling it for a dollar instead of $75 mill. also.. they aren't even worried that nobody likes the movie.
weird..
the Drama stuff was great as usual though.
Goddamn, I should probably avoid threads like this if I don't have HBO and don't want shit spoiled.
Then again, does "everything turns out fine" really spoil anything for me?
Has Entourage ever ended with anything less?
Will it ever?
Nope.
Best thing I saw during the half of this season I did catch: Ari saving Lloyd from the Drew Carey writer that wanted to fuck him. That was almost kinda endearing.

yeah but that same episode ended on an EMBARRASSING smirk from E's girlfriend. she practically winked at the camera, i mean what the fuck was that? god forbid it ends on a somewhat realistic or at least emotionally believable note. it was actually groundbreaking for them (almost) that drama and turtle didn't get laid.. only to be saved at the last moment by vince in a turn of events that rendered his subplot with E completely worthless.
yeah. this is not a show to love. it's just some shit to watch. emphasis on shit.

True. The show is at its best when it combines this side of the characters with a
sincere love of film and film making. The only episode this season that worked on this front was episode one. Now they've traded Sydney Pollack for Kanye West. I thought they'd pay for their arrogance and a season full of careless indulgence but they just shrugged it off.
It was once a guilty pleasure now its an embarrassment.
So has season 4 finished on HBO now? Any idea when it's coming out on DVD?
Quote from: thooor on April 04, 2007, 12:42:25 PM
A feel good series, perfect for a feel good person like me :yabbse-smiley:
I stoped reading after you guys started talking about season 4 (which I still haven't seen) but I'm with thooor 100%.
Plus, I'd like to add that I really don't see Drama as Kramer at all. I now admit that his loser status until he got the pilot (and even after that, with the bad reviews and all) actually was, for me, the emotional core of the show. I really feel for him and his lack of talent... :oops:
Okey, so... I think season 4 was maybe the weakest, even though it strated with a great episode. It was still fun and I liked watching everything, but I'm guessing that what I really like about it are the discussions about new projects, the cameos from directors and actors, etc... This season was more about E. going to work on his own, Vince having trouble getting a job, blah blah blah. I'm sure next season will be better, and even if it's not, I'll still watch just because it's fun, short, and it has Johnny Drama and Ari.
Amazon is listing Season 4 DVD for release on August 26.
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fecx.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F510ZQWQH4QL._SS500_.jpg&hash=947687c5276cc6e391bc7c142cc24207fb528524)
Some info about Season 5 I found in a blog. It has some SPOILERS about what will happen. New season starts in September.
What's next on 'Entourage': Critics (including one familiar face) rip Vinnie's movie.
When "Entourage" returns September 7, Vinnie Chase's passion project, "Medellin" will get slammed by the critics – including the Chicago Tribune's film critic, Michael Phillips.
You'll recall that the previous season of the show ended with a disastrous Cannes screening of the film. The Season 5 premiere picks up on that note, and features a scene of Phillips and Richard Roeper, as the hosts of "At the Movies with Ebert and Roeper," going nuclear on Vinnie's movie.
"It's basically Roeper ripping into the film, and I have a few lines in there too," Phillips told me. He and Roeper filmed the scene a few months ago, and Phillips added that he gave his fee for appearing on the show to charity.
A Thursday press release from HBO revealed that Carla Gugino will be back as Amanda, an agent who is Ari's nemesis and Vince's former love interest. "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester, will play Justine Chapin, Vince's new love interest.
Lukas Haas and Giovanni Ribisi will play screenwriters who are managed by Eric (Kevin Connolly). The rapper Bow Wow will play Charlie, another of Eric's clients. Kevin Pollak and Fran Drescher will play the Levines, "a pretentious Beverly Hills couple," according to HBO's release. And – is this something you might be interested in? – Martin Landau will be back as old-school producer Bob Ryan. I particularly enjoy Paul Ben-Victor as studio head Alan Gray, and he'll be back too.
Appearing as themselves on the next season of the show are a slew of actors and Hollywood notables, including Jamie-Lynn Sigler, NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman, the women of "The View," Tony Bennett, Eric Roberts and also Mark Wahlberg, one of the creators and executive producers of the show.
I certainly hope "Entourage" returns rested and rejuvenated after its long break. Last season was, with a few exceptions, a train wreck, with tired, recycled plots and decided lack of energy.
If you're interested in a few clues about the upcoming season, here's the relevant part of HBO's press release: "In season five, Vince [Adrian Grenier] must find a way to rejuvenate his career. His best friend and manager Eric is determined to get Vince back to the top, while struggling with his expanding management company. Agent Ari Gold [Jeremy Piven], who is having a few career conflicts of his own, struggles to deliver for Vince, given the current state of things. Drama [Kevin Dillon], meanwhile, continues his successful television career while experiencing problems in his love life, and Turtle [Jerry Ferrara] is forced to reexamine his contribution to it all."

FINALLY. they seemed to address this a bit with his whole saigon subplot, then just ditched it altogether. last season had such a promising premiere, then seemed to go nowhere (nowhere fun anyway). i'll still watch. we'll see.
I'm happy to see that they're bringing Carla Gugino back. I've never seen her in a sexier role. Also, a 30 sec. promo is up at HBO.com and shows Vince with a massive beard.
Also, it looks like the gang is jet skiing at Jurassic Park.
My season 4 DVD has been shipped :)
Watched the first 4 eps. WTF was up with that mocumentary? Waste of an episode. Things seem to be taking some time to get going, and most of the plots so far reek as bad as S3P2. There's even a slew of awful lines just stuck in the end of scenes - like Lloyd and that humdinger about positive energy in the room just moments ago. Seriously, WTF? But you know what, this is Entourage and I'm just glad to have some new episodes. So really, it's all good. Looking forward to it getting a lot better though :)
I'm a big fan of the show, but I have to say, season 4 was far from being my favorite, and one of the episodes I actually loved was the first one. I even saw that again yesterday. But yeah, it's one of those shows that's always fun to watch.
Totally. I'm anticipating finishing the season by Thursday at the latest. Very latest.
Just watched 'The Weho Ho'. Best episode so far this season.
and next?
iTunes exclusive Season 5 preview: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewCustomPage?&name=pageEntourage
Done. Ep 6 onwards was all good with the exception of the one with the terror threat in LAX. Finale was awesome. I love Drama. Hope his girl hangs around next season. And puzzled as to why Turtle's girl doesn't even warrant a mention at all. I love this show.
I also have developed a crush on Constance Zimmer (Dana Gordon).

Sunday's season premiere of Entourage bombed. Big time. Only 1.6 million people tuned in to watch The Pivert and friends. That's 27% less than its June 2007 premiere!
I'm sad to say, this show no longer makes me cream my pantalones. :yabbse-undecided:
They've significantly lowered their standards.
Warning: Me being a complete douche.
I can't believe any of you idiots ever watched and loved this in the first place.
Go watch Gossip Girl instead.
Or just get stoned with your friends and hang out in someone else's mansion.
For people who hate this show and apparently dont watch it, you spend quite some time bashing it.
SPOILERS
Ari was pure Gold yesterday, and the episode was pretty good. The scene with Marky Mark playing golf was great. I'm happy with this season so far. This one it really took Vince to another level, finally getting him in touch with the reality around him. The Drama thing with the girl was stupid. I guess they didnt continue this stupid long distance romance so they could break them up in the second episode?
You idiots go watch something else. Peace!
Let's lock this thread.
NO!
How else will I go back, and see the post where you called Mandy Moore as "cute as a button"
fcuk u.
Just caught up on this season:
Maybe it was the use of Neil Young and The Faces on the soundtrack, or maybe it was the shows attempt to add a bit of emotional weight without falling too hard on it's face, but last night's episode was pretty good.
I don't get the disappointment expressed for this season. It's as empty-headed as it ever was. It might not be compulsively watchable, but it's still continually watchable.
Ari on mushrooms in the desert last week made me chuckle a bit, too.
it's worlds better than last season, but thats not saying much. the mushrooms episode was total filler, but it did make me chuckle (E not talking, Ari - "i hope no one's watching me"). Dom didn't annoy me as much as everyone else because i basically saw him as Herc (who, at times, could be the most annoying part of the Wire). i was happy to see them resolve his story in a (not so) tidy fashion.
that ferrari chase a couple episodes back was surprisingly well done.
confession:
Ari Gold is my hero.
anybody still watching this? i think this has been an amazing season. tonights episode was one of the best in the series, and the last few have not been bad either.

Just watched this episode. After a poor 4th season, this one is back on track, I'm enjoying it very much. Stellan Skarsgard's Werner [Herzog, really] is hilarious, but I confess I was hoping for something quite different with this story and the movie, and this was a surprise. Can't wait for next week.
This was one of the best episodes in the series thus far. It was almost all confrontation and then mixing in the sweetness of Turtle's subplot made for the perfect Entourage douche-gumbo.

True. But if you just got a new Ferrari and your arch-enemy douchebag agent challenges you to a race, would you say no? Fuck it I would race.
it got more cartoonish, but I did like it after a while. I dunno, it's just something that I kept on watching even when I scoffed at it.
I thought this first episode was really good. The reviews have been awful, but I honestly don't know what people expect of this show. The subject already is enough for everyone to realize what it can be and what it can definitely not be, and after five seasons, if you are still watching then you know what to expect.
Anyways, this was pretty good.
SPOILERS
The fact that everyone is 'moving on' with their lives is cool after so many seasons of the same shit. I don't know if this will last, but the last scene with Vince alone in the mansion was pretty good. Plus, the rest of the characters may have more interesting arcs this season. The filming of the Ferrari film could be pretty cool, but who knows where they will take that.
Review in NY Times basically just listed reasons it was out-of-touch: Jay Leno, Earl refs. THought it was a good episode, but not a great season opener. If you just started watching you'd have no idea Vinnie had just filmed a Scorsese movie. Why not kick off the season with the movie premier?

True, but they shot this a while ago, and maybe the Leno thing and all that has a purpose in the storyline later on in terms of timeline. Who knows.
Entourage Returns, Feeling More Outdated Than Ever
Source: NYMag
Yeah yeah, we know, we officially renounced Entourage when the show's fifth season wrapped up back in October. But last night, we realized that we must've forgotten to delete our season pass for the show from our DVR, and ended up watching the season-six premiere on HBO. And while last night's episode made us feel neither especially pleased nor gut-turningly guilty, we did notice a few embarrassing faux pas that made the program feel less insider-y than ever before, and it has us wondering just exactly when this season of the show is supposed to be taking place.
First off, one of the minor plot points that you may recall from last season was when Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) risked his reputation and went out on a limb to bring the washed-up agent Andrew Klein (Gary Cole) into the fold at the Miller/Gold agency. Well, Ari's move paid dividends last night when Klein announced that he signed Greg Garcia, the showrunner of My Name Is Earl, to a deal with the agency. Only problem? My Name Is Earl got canceled by NBC earlier this year. Whoops! Garcia is still a talented and valuable client to have on one's roster, no doubt, but this moment really tested our already-shaky willingness to suspend our disbelief while watching the show.
But then it got worse! In the ep, Vince (Adrian Grenier) is doing his turn on the promo circuit for Martin Scorsese's The Great Gatsby, a movie which we, as viewers, have seen no footage from (even though the show repeatedly mentions how great the trailer is). So he goes on the Tonight Show, only, instead of seeing CoCo and his mop of red hair behind the host's desk, we are treated to an interview* segment where Vince banters with the Chin! Now, we certainly realize that there is often a lengthy time between when shows film and when they actually get to air (especially on pay cable stations), but NBC announced the date of Jay Leno's final show as host of the Tonight Show way back in July of 2008! For a show that derives a great deal of its energy from the fact that it's supposed to feel recent and insider-y to viewers, these two factual slipups have us thinking that the show's creators are committed to once again running this season on autopilot.
*An interview, mind you, in which he tells a story about how he convinced his driving instructor to overlook his failed driver's test by bribing him with a pair of passes to his movie premiere. If this happened in the "real" world, Harvey Levin and his band of TMZ warriors would've surely gotten said driving instructor fired within minutes of the show being aired.
Or for pure laffs: http://videogum.com/archives/hate-watching/entourage-its-2004-somewhere_079012.html
how petty and stupid, these are all obviously things that couldn't have been known when the episodes were being written and filmed (esp. the garcia bit) and..... did that article just make TMZ seem noble?
if you were going to pick anytime to stop watching the show, it should've been after season 4 (a disaster). season 5 actually bounced back quite a bit.

im with you on this one, this show is what it is, if by now some ppl don't like it why do they keep watching?? i know i don't expect to see hollywood depicted as if the wire crew were making this. what i know is that by the end of every episode i always want more, it goes real fast. anyway, im curious to see where this season goes.

War of words: Seth Rogen calls 'Entourage' creator Doug Ellin 'a moron'
"Entourage" chewed up comic actor Seth Rogen in Monday night's episode. Now Seth is biting back.
The writers had their characters referring to Seth's "ugliness ... oddly fascinating" in a comic debate over whether Rogen could get a Katherine Heigl babe in real life.
Rogen fired back to E!'s Daily 10:
"Yeah ... I actually ran into Matt ... Kevin Dillon in a Starbucks. And he's like 'You know, I've got to kind of apologize because apparently the guy who created our show doesn't like you so much.' "
"And I said, 'Well, I have reason to believe because I think Doug Ellin is a moron from all I can understand, so it makes sense he doesn't like me.'
"And I've kind of said some disparaging things about the show. Although in our defense, ["Entourage" producer] Mark Wahlberg called us misogynistic in an interview, so I think they kind of started that. ... It's on. Luckily, I never have and never plan on watching 'Entourage.' "
So there.
^^^ This is the kind of shit that makes me hate Hollywood so much.
last night's episode was actually really good. i loved the scene between ari and turtle, ari's playing tough love dad to everyone this season (E, Lloyd, Turtle)
Yeah that scene was really great. It was probably the first time they have a one-on-one conversation also and it was great. Also, E becoming a man and going all Ari on the CW girl was pretty cool as well. It's interesting to see where they are taking this season. As much as its the usual stuff, the characters are actually going somewhere (except for Drama maybe).
i wish this show would just spin off into a strictly miller gold storyline. it's the only story thread with any kind of consistency.
I LOVE ARI! But I'm sure thats everywhere and I'm slightly proud of turtle trying to come out of his shell and start to do something really constructive with his life. It reminds me that its never too late to change...Another paraphrased quote for the now magligned (at least on here) but loved by me, "American Beauty".
This show relies on way too old scripts. After Jay Leno, they are now discovering Facebook.
ok I'm now officially not watching this shit anymore
seriously, what happened to last season? it was showing promise, now it's just aimless all over again.
really? I thought the opposite. this season has some kinda story going.
Quote from: pete on August 18, 2009, 07:12:09 PM

Entourage Episode Idea 1: E can't get cell service, Turtle gets a bad haircut, Drama has an ingrown toe nail, and Vince eats a banana.
Entourage Episode Idea 2: E's in traffic, Turtle eats a sandwich, Drama buys a Gatorade, and Vince has sex with a meter maid.
Entourage Episode Idea 3: E takes a nap, Turtle loses a shoe, Drama wrinkles his nose, & Vince has sex with a girl he meets.
Entourage Idea 4: E turns on his TV, Turtle puts on a hat, Drama says pussy 3x in one sentence, and Vince sits in a lounge chair.

Wahlberg: Entourage Movie Will Cap Series
By: Roger Friedman; Hollywood Reporter
Mark Wahlberg is a phenomenon at this point.
The former Calvin Klein underwear model was an Oscar nominee for "The Departed." His work in every film he does is thoughtful and surprising. No one would have ever guessed that his serious demeanor would also lead him to executive produce one of TV's — rather HBO's — most memorable shows, "Entourage."
At the "Lovely Bones" premiere last night in New York, Wahlberg told me that there are two seasons left of "Entourage" on TV. And then? "We'll see, there could be more. But then, a movie."
So "Entourage" will follow "Sex and the City" into theaters in this unusual backward progression of development. Maybe we'll even see Vince (Adrien Grenier) make a good movie.
Right now, Wahlberg is filming a Will Ferrell comedy, "The Other Guys," with Ferrell's crew. "I don't really get to do comedy," Mark said. "We waited for just the right thing. It's a buddy movie." It also has cameos from Derek Jeter and Paris Hilton, so let's brace ourselves.
While we were talking in the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel after the movie — in a party so full that it would have welcomed Washington's Salahi's — Wahlberg must have greeted two dozen friends. The nice thing was, there was no nuttiness. He is the epitome of down to earth and accessible. There was no "entourage."
"Are they friends from Boston?" I asked.
Wahlberg shook his head. "All my friends from Boston are either dead or in jail," he replied. He's said it before, so I asked: "They can't still be in jail after all this time?"
Wahlberg didn't hesitate. "The stuff they did, you don't get out of jail."
Fuck. Not only do we now have to put up with two more seasons of these dickheads, but a movie too?
My life is officially more interesting than this show.
Haha, can we just lock this thread now and bury it?
