Entourage

[Lord of Denial]

Anyone else a fan of this HBO series?

You want to hug it out? Let's hug it out bitch!

[Ontir]

I LOVE Entourage but I don't have PayTV, so I have to wait for the box-sets to hit Netflix!

[LordEd1976]

Huge fan of the series. Both my mom and I got addicted to it after my sister told us about it. First episode I saw was when Vince and the gang went to Comicon. Then I borrowed the Season 1 DVD set from my sister. After that, I was hooked.

[glue]

I've tried to watch it a couple times, but it's really not my cup of tea.

[Ontir]

I was in Weswood a month or so back, and they were shooting "the Aquaman premiere" for the show. I watched for awhile, got to see a bunch of the cast members, and helped a rather hapless papparazi attempt to get some decent pictures. The guy had no idea who half the cast was, or what/whom he should be shooting. :p

[Huzzah!]

Entourage is mana from heaven

Hug it out bitch

[mattbib]

I love Entourage! I've only seen Season 1 (at a friend's and then on DVD). I'm getting the Season 2 box set tomorrow (which is when it's released!). We just got HBO for The Sopranos (which I don't watch), but we're keeping it for Entourage Season 3.

[Jamal]

Ari's the man, if it wasn't for him I probably would not be watching it. Vinny and the gang get out of trouble a little to easily for me, but I guess that's hollywood.

Yeah Ari is easily my favorite character on the show. And I think Jeremy Pivan is a very underrated actor and should have won some emmys by now for this role.

I also like Drama. I find it very funny when he brings up stuff he did 10 years ago and tries to live off that only to get shot down.

[Ontir]

If you like Piven, check out Keeping Up With the Steins. It's a flawed film, but he and the entire cast are quite good in it. There are some similarities to "Entougrage." It's a kind of view of Ari's home-life!

[The Punished]

I have watched it from episode 1 & I think it is great. I told my friends about the Aquaman storyline & got them hooked also. CAN'T WAIT TO HUG IT OUT. got MILF?

[mattbib]

Last week's Season 3 premiere was really good. I love the continued humanization of Ari, though without costing him his assholery.

And don't forget tonight's new episode!

Yeah I like the new direction they are going with his character. Having to start over and build a company on his own. But still keeping him the same loveable sexist, racist, but meaning well asshole he always was.

[The Punished]

Missed this week's episode any body tell me what up?

[Blueferret]

The point that this show sold me was the second to last episode of last season when Ari had his meltdown and they took away everything EXCEPT Lloyd.

[Patman]

Anyone else notice that Vince was wearing classic Aquaman colors (orange and green) in the 2nd episode this season?

[KenK]

Pimp yo film, man! Pimp yo film!

Loved Ari's meltdown during the blackouts. Him smashing Lloyd's figurine was priceless!

I don't know how much more I can take of "accessible Vince", though. It's still cool to extent, hanging out with the high schoolers and going to a theater with the public, but eventually he's gonna have to cut himself off a bit.

I laughed so hard when Ari saw Lloyd shifting in his sit and he said " Why are you sitting like that?" " Seriously are you wearing a buttplug?".

[mattbib]

Another good episode. I knew Dom did it, but he wasn't nearly as hateable in this episode as he was in the last. Also, I'm loving any and all Ari/Lloyd interaction. Just hilarious.

The only thing I don't like is that things are going too easily now that Vince is Hollywood's Golden Boy the tension that existed in earlier episodes isn't really there. Hopefully the upcoming episodes can bring that "underdog" feel back.

[Astonishing X-Fan]

I can't believe how overpirced the season sets are everywhere I see them.

[Adam West]

I love it!

It doesn't get aired in my country though, so I have to rely on dvds. Season 2 is already finish isn't it? I only got the first season dvds.

[mattbib]

Season 2 is already finish isn't it? I only got the first season dvds.Yes, Season 2 came out on DVD several weeks ago. We're several episodes into Season 3 now.

[The Punished]

I think we will be seeing a turn in the character of Vince. It appears in the next episode he is going to bump heads with the Warner Bros. head about the drug cartel movie and Aquaman 2 & he even demands $20million to do A2. So he may move back to being not so accessible.

[mattbib]

That's exactly what happened by the end. He tried to work with WB and, while giving some allowance for time, they ended up telling Vince he couldn't do Medellin because it hurts his appearance, thus could hurt the Aquaman franchise. Vince relents, but demands $20MM to do A2.

Elsewhen in the movie:
Vince buys everyone Astin Martins.
Ari agrees to represent both Turtle and Drama.
E is taking care of certain things that he would have been afraid to do before (making uncomfortable calls, etc.).
Ari convinces Penny Marshall to hire Max to do a movie in Kyrgyzstan.

[IamtheRock3]

pretty good episode

Like when Artie ask his wife for Oral.

[Forefinger]

I LOVE Entourage but I don't have PayTV, so I have to wait for the box-sets to hit Netflix!
Me too. My wife and I watched the first disk of the second season today.

[Sean Whitmore]

The Aquaman storyline brought me into this show last year, and now I'm loving every minute of it. :D

The conversation tonight between Vince and Ari about A2 was brilliant and should have any self-respecting film geek laughing their heads off.

VINCE: Andrew Kevin Walker writing?
ARI: Kevin Smith.
VINCE: Fuck you, Ari, I want off this movie!


SEAN

[mattbib]

Man, where did the season go?

I totally guessed the ending (before even seeing last week's preview), but it makes total sense as a season ender. IMO Drama stole this episode. He gets the best lines hands down (when Ari doesn't, anyway).

Also, I'm impressed with the steady professionalization of E that's happened over the past season. He looks the part of a manager now (at least a lot more than he did two seasons ago).

Can't wait for Season 4.

[Jared]

I can't believe how overpirced the season sets are everywhere I see them.

All HBO shows seem to be like that. 80 bucks for Band of Brothers?! 70 for the Sopranos!
Whereas 24, which has twice as many episodes (or more) a season, I've seen for $40-50.

Anyway, now they have to get Jake Gyllenhall to appear next season as Vince's nemesis.

[KenK]

Anyway, now they have to get Jake Gyllenhall to appear next season as Vince's nemesis.

I think they've had enough high profile directors and actors on to manage it, so I'd love to see something of a showdown between Jake and Vince.

[fierce and funky]

ok. just finished watching all 3 seasons in 3 days... dammit, when does season 4 (or 3.5 from what i hear) return to HBO?!

[NDHorse]

ok. just finished watching all 3 seasons in 3 days... dammit, when does season 4 (or 3.5 from what i hear) return to HBO?!

It will be back in March '07. It will play at the same time as the final episodes of The Sopranos

[Brian M.]

Does anyone know when this will start? I think I know how a crack addict feels now when he doesn't get his fix for a while. I'm losing my mind I need that show back.

[Donald M.]

I looked around and apparently season four drops in April, so you've a bit of a wait ahead of you yet.

[The Punished]

Yeah, historically speaking...

Entourage is one of the spring/summer series on HBO. I agree I wish it would hurry back into production. I enjoy watching what goes on next in the life of movie stars. I think Jeremy Piven is just incredible but I have liked him for a quite awhile even since One Crazy Summer and Say Anything.

[Deep_Sleeper]

I love this show. Wish the DVD box sets were more meatier, though.

[mattbib]

Well, Season 3 Part 2 began tonight. It definitely feels like a different animal. I like the Carla Gugino, of the late Threshold, as the new agent. I also like that Drama's actually getting some success. And E's definitely not the new kid on the block anymore. He's coming across as a really competent manager.

[fierce and funky]

funniest part of the whole episode was the beginning with drama in front of his billboard.. then the girl goes "hey, was that vince chase you were talking to?"

turtle's face was priceless. HAHAHA

[Shades0077]

I was actually pretty impressed with how Turtle pulled off Vince's party. Sponsoring everything? Clever.

Drama talking about Ari like he was Vince's ex-girlfriend was hilarious as well.

Bringing Mediian (sp?) back into play was interesting.

[LtMarvel]

First time viewer (free HBO weekend): What's the point of this show? That people smell money and become selfish jerks?

[IamtheRock3]

actully these guys not that jerky most of the time

compared to most shows about hollywood

Artie can be a Jerk

but the boys for the most part they are friendly

[tjarvis]

I loved the line the new agent gave to Ari - "Do you want me to walk you to your car, because this town's not safe for a bitch."

It had me rolling.

[LordEd1976]

Bringing Mediian (sp?) back into play was interesting.

That subplot has me very curious.

Ari's a jerk, but is even he capable of lying like that to get Vince's hopes up and lure him back? or does he know something that he's trying to share with Vince by getting him the script. And does the new agent play a role in why its apparently not available?

[Big Fresh]

Not the best episode, but I'm just so glad it's back. My life has purpose again.

[The Punished]

I have watched all but one episode if I am correct. I think the episode two weeks ago where Ari and his wife went to the psychiatrist played by Nora Dunn was truly inspired.

The writers unleashed Jeremy Piven and let him run wild with the session visit he did not want to be at and then on the course, I just sat back and enjoyed this so very much. Then when he got to the office. So very cool. It's episodes like that which truly entertain and show the talent of good actors and writers in the right place at the right time.

As for the Carla Gugino as Vince's new agent. Man, is it me or is she getting hotter each time you see her? She started the episode in the black sleep set, my oh my! Then when she point blank called Vince and told him she wanted to get the tension out of the way, awesome!

I fully anticipated this happening as Ari has to get back in with boys some how or else the show would not be half as good as it had been. I love the fact they split the boys and Ari up but mainly because you know it will be great when they finally do get back together.

[Shades0077]

Season 3 just wrapped up on Sunday. Pretty awesome finale. I like that they brought Billy Walsh back in. Season 4 is set to start in a mere two weeks, so does that mean a lot of it is going to be on set during the filming of Medellin? According to HBO, the first ep is going to be called Welcome to the Jungle, so I think there's a good chance.

[Expletive Deleted]

If the spoilers I've seen are accurate . . .

The first episode is a mocumentary about the makin of Medellin. After that, they're back in L.A.

[LordEd1976]

God I hate Billy Walsh. Everytime he shows up I wait for someone to kick the living daylights out of him. A man is giving him money and he insults him by calling him "trust fund baby"?! I respect that the guy tries to have an artistic vision and wants to stick to his guns but for the love of GOD, he has to curb the attitude. Medellin's success could be in serious jeopardy if he doesn't cool it.

So will they skip ahead in time after that, so we can see if its a failure or success



Part of me dont want to ruin th fun of it, but another part would think it good and FUNNY stories of seeing vince and the boys RISE FROM THE ASHES

sense both brothers right now spending a lot of cash they dont got, and so is eric

I doubt Eric is spending all that much money. He's living with Sloan and unlike the other four, he doesn't seem to spend all that much money. Plus he could always sell his car for a good chunk of change. Didn't he drive a Pinto or some cheapo car in the first season?

Well he said he using everything in his bank account to fund this thing


more reason to take a swing at that director for being a jerk

[The Punished]

Billy just does all his stuff to irritate anyone in listening range. I had Eric's reaction when he called Eric and told them the Spanish idea. Bastardo!

[stealthwise]

I just spent the last two weeks buying and watching seasons one through four on dvd, and I gotta say, this show is genius.

September 7th for Season Five Premiere, Baby!

Can't wait to see what happens with Medellin, Johnny's show, and Ari and Turtle in general.

[LordEd1976]

Can't wait to see what happens with Medellin, Johnny's show, and Ari and Turtle in general.

They've been running previews on HBO and iTunes has a free preview.

Judging by the previews and the finale for season 4, I don't think Medellin did so well. It looks like the theme for this season is Vince trying to recover from the disaster the movie turned into.

[Your Imaginary Pal]

and Ed is correct.
Fantasy Island, the season 5 premiere



Starts out with an At The Movies review of Medellin, not a pleasant review, one of the hosts says Vinny Chase is now on his Stars to Watch Fall list, and the movie will be direct to video, cuts to Eric & Drama cutting off the TV and discussing the wreck of a movie, Drama has some girl in france on video chat on a mac air...Cut to Ari Gold going into his office and having all of his employees panning Roeper and Lloyd telling him he's about to write an angry letter to Roeper. Ari says the next person who mentions it is fired. He gets a call it's a movie offer for Vinny, who's on a beach with a massive Alan Moore type beard in mexico getting it on with two girlies and turtles girl complains they don't get to use the bed. Now we're of to see Drama on a photoshoot for his show, everything is going well for him, until the photographer asks him to pose showing his right side, which he thinks is his bad side, he refuses, photo guy galls studio big shot, Drama goes to his trailer. Back to Eric, in his office now and has Bow Wow as a client, well I think Bow Wow is supposed to be an up and coming comedian looking for a break, Ari Calls Eric, tells him about the roll. Eric calls Drama to get a line on Vince, Drama thinks baby bro is in trouble, he drops what he's doing, an actual studio head makes a cameo appearance, and Drama resolves the issue on the run saying he'll shoot the photo however they want. Eric is leaving an audition he got for Bow Wow, gets a call from Ari that they're getting a plane ride to Mexico to pick up Vince. Bow Wow gets to borrow E's sweet ride for the night after he drops E off at the van Nuys Airport. Back in Mexico, Vinny and Turtle are having a great time, Turtle does a Tattoo impersonation. And out come Ari, Eric and Drama who have to convince Vinny to come back to civiliztion before the masses only remember Chase as a has been. After an Eric pep talk, they come back to Cali so Vinny can meet with this producer for the roll. Drama's old agent sees the meeting and confronts the producer who apparantly only wanted to be seen with vinny by the agent to get his other client at a lower price. The agent calls Ari and thells him about the scheme. The crew finds out and are up in arms, leading Drama and Turtle to go to the producer's home and smash a window of one of his many expensive cars.
setting the stage for Vinny and Company to find his next big hit.

nice set up for the tone of the season.

[Deep_Sleeper]

Season 4 was pretty good. I love this show. It's the one show that I can't wait for the next season DVD to come out.

I also have to agree that Walsh is a bastard who deservedly got his ass kicked!

[ForeverTaskmaster]

Am I the only one who thinks Billy Walsh is funny as hell ?

[LordEd1976]

Am I the only one who thinks Billy Walsh is funny as hell ?

I belive others find him funny but yours truly finds hm annoying and wants to smack him in his drugged out head.

On a happier note, I was glad to see the return of Carla Gugino's character in tonight's episode. Hopefully she'll stick around for awhile.

One question, can anyone help me ID the song that played over the closing credits?

If I Ever Feel Better by Phoenix

If you hire Giovanni Ribisi and Lukas Haas to be your redneck writers and only keep them around for an episode you deserve to be slapped upside the head. I hope those two make an appearance for at least three episodes.

[ForeverTaskmaster]

I hope to see people like Van Damme, Bruce Campbell, The Rock, Candice Michelle and Stallone in a cameo.

I don't know if you guys are still watching Entourage but just from night alone Jeremy Piven proved why he deserve those three Emmy's.

Ari: "That my friend is what we call a bitch slap, a bitch slap for a bitch".

Ari: "If you don't apologize I'm going to knock you the F@#k out right here, right now!" :tongue: :tongue: :biggrin:

I love that scene, you can mess with Ari all day long, but mess with his family and he's not taking any shit, best thing about that scene is that you knew that Ari was about to throw down if it came to that.

Ari and Drama is what makes this show watchable.

[Ronald Bryan]

Ari was awesome in this episode. And the end of the episode was great as well, with the duet.

[Ronald Bryan]

Ari + Shrooms = GOLD!

[Kaos]

Ari + Shrooms = GOLD!

OH my daaays that episode was awesome.
Just jammin taking shrooms with Julia Roberts brother.

[joemagnum611]

Man last night's episode was a pure classic

[Ronald Bryan]

Ari's story was alright this week, as was E with Vince just kind of hanging around, not being much more than support for everyone. But Turtle and Drama's story was good. With Turtle trying to meet Drama's demands, but Drama being an ass the whole time. So, when Turtle drove off, after picking up everything on the list, it was just perfect.

I'm getting a little bored with Drama's prissy attitude. I hope this isn't leading up to him screwing up his spot on the show. It would nice to have a working Drama for awhile

[Damiean Dark]

And Porn star :tongue: Katie Morgan:tongue: thrown in to boot in a funny (but painfully short) cameo!

He's always been prissy...just a lil more emotional this season round. I hate emotional Drama..I like DRAMA Drama.

[SnowTrooper]

I checked out the season premiere of Entourage after the series premiere of True Blood about 6 weeks ago, and I loved it. I've been hooked on this show since I the season premiere. HBO plays an episode every day and I've been recording them all, I've seen maybe 20+ episodes so far.

I'm really curious to see how this season plays out, and I'm hoping for many more shenanigans from Ari.

That's like hoping the ocean will be wet. I think that you (and the rest of us) will be in luck. When Ari is shenanigan free I'll stop watching the show.

LOL at Turtle playing Drama's bitch. You had to know the little dude with the attitude was gonna explode one way or another.

I didn't care for Drama in this episode but in a way that's why he is who he is and why he's called this way: he's the drama queen of the show. He's the tough guy that's really emotional and has to have everything perfect or will cause a scene. He has to keep the beast in check if that make any sens.

[Ronald Bryan]

Best parts of this episode:

-Models

-The model who flirts with E and takes him up to her room, so she can show him her reel. Which consists of her screaming while being killed in a Saw looking horror movie.

-Models

-Ari at work, weighing whether he should take the job, Jeffrey Tambor coming in , and the reality show writers pitching the Hobbit (whitch was the highlight of the episode). Giant hobbits!

-Models

-Ari telling Vince that he was offered the job. Ari didn't even tell Lloyd. But as he said, one of the few things holding him back from accepting the job was Vince.

-Models

[Buckler]

I gotta be honest... if Ari doesn't take the job, where does the series go?

I see the series going around in circles and not progressing anywhere....but i do love those models

[jeriscratch]

That was an amazing ending. IMHO, that was as great an ending you can get from anything. The music set the mood, the lighting, the emotion, everything. That was a great ending, I have to say.

[KenK]

Ari needs to take this job for the show to grow. No question. This is about the only way to jumpstart Vince's career.

[Kaos]

Pretty tame episode but I like that Ari's new job opportunity.
