Re: Entourage: Season Five

I loved this episode
Unlike a Virgin

Loved how Mark Walberg dissed his own movie
"Truth About Charlie"
That movie was incredibly bad.

and It was great when Ari told Lloyd to pull the plug on the film
as you can see that Ari was really bored by the movie he was watching.
And then gave a fake complaint about how he wanted the projector fixed.

Wahlberg's comment actually made me interested in seeing the movie now (to see if it's really that bad).

It has Thandie Newton, so there's that. It's also a remake of ""Charade", starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. If I remember correctly, the original movie is included as an extra in the DVD package.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

Drama's projectile vomit on the cake brought it all home. I'm not sure what I thought of Ari's crossing of swords with Davies, on one hand, sure, it added to Ari's reckless blowhard persona, on the other hand, it was far too juvenile to take seriously on other levels.

TravisR,

See Charade first. An incredible movie.
then see The Truth About Charlie which completely embarrasses Charade movie.

Episode 3
The All Out Fall Out
was great.
Lots of great moments.
I agree that Drama's puke on the sweet 16 cake really brought it home.
Loved Ari and Davie's juvenile pranks on each other.
I really thought Ari was going to trash the new Ferrari.
And the boner patrol moment was very funny.

And I found Fran Drescher to be quite pleasant and not so annoying.

Puking on the cake had me laughing for about 5 minutes.

I liked the Ari vs. Davies stuff and the car chase actually looked kinda cool (it is just a sitcom). And Drama puking on a cake is very funny.

Solid episode last night, reminiscent of the ones from the premiere season.

Carla Gugino somehow gets hotter and hotter.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

I'm a week behind so I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but I loved last week with Ari vs. Davies. That car chase was very well done(man, I'd kill for that Ferrari F430 Spider) and Ari bitch-slapping Davies in front of his whole staff was priceless. Drama puking on the cake was..........well, a form of icing on the cake I guess.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

Interesting ep. I didn't think it was particularly funny, but the conflict they set up between E and his other clients v. Vince is one of the first real dilemmas the characters have ever faced. They all want to do what is right for everybody, and right for themselves, and right for the people they represent, but you can't have everything. I'm crossing my fingers that this works. I thought they might have run out of "four dudes banging around LA" light ideas. This may work. I never thought much of Grenier or Connelly as actors, but this will give them a chance to actually show something. Hope it works. Might also put Ari, Drama and Turtle back into supporting roles where they shine. I like them as much as anyone, but don't think they are as funny in the over the top heavy doses we've gotten the last two seasons.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

I'm surprised no one mentioned the 21 minute running time of last night's episode. I enjoyed it, but I have to admit, the whole Drama being depressed thing was old 5 minutes after it started (2 episodes ago?). Time to move on from that nonsense. Loved the inside Hollywood stuff of this episode though.

I too thought it to be a very good set-up that will allow them to explore some interesting avenues (and as long as those avenues have more Carla Gugino I'll go down them). I thought the ending with E just stunned and shaking his head was pitch perfect. My biggest complaint is that it was such a short episode.

Fire Sale
I too really loved this episode.
Not many funny parts, which for me was the line from Ari to Lloyd saying that he will have a new movie poster of Vince to wack off to.

What really impressed me was the whole script bidding war and Hollywood lingo talk. Learned a new expression $1 mill against $2 mill

My favorite part is when Eric got the call from Amanda and she gave him the Edward Norton news of $1 mill against $2 mill and how she delivered the line.
Great moment for me.
Then Eric's shocking look and having it pause a bit before the credits came up. very nice!

We also get a nice little Tim Matheson moment trying to buy the script

And yes, Carla Gugino does get hotter and hotter somehow in this show.

Curious to see if were going to see Edward Norton on the show at some point.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

Regarding the running time of the episode, I'm just happy that HBO allows a show to run 'short' if the producers want it to. If the episode works best at 22 minutes, great. I'll take that every time over having 7 or 8 more minutes of scenes that didn't work or were unnecessary just so it runs the full block of time.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

i wonder how mark wahlberg knows ed norton from... anyways. he should appear since they even allowed the use of his name =P.

i'm still waiting for lucas and spielberg to show up @some point if they care to =P. although, this is a "young, hip" series and not for people of that generation.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

Wow, did that episode suuuuck. Nothing but filler, and unentertaining filler at that. A shame too since they had built up such a great lead-in with the end of the last episode, then they just squander it away. I think the writers were the ones on shrooms.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

Last night's episode might be funnier to those who have done 'shrooms before, but I thought it was one of the slowest-moving episodes ever of Entourage. It was like the anti-Entourage episode in terms of pacing and comedic timing.

I've seen people on shrooms before (I'd most likely have Ari's freakout reaction if I did them so I've always abstained) and the guys' portrayl was dead on to me and funny because of that.

That being said, I can understand how people didn't like the episode since nothing happened. They could have written a scene where Vince makes that decision with about 30 seconds of screentime but I guess they wanted to slow things down and do a different type of episode.

"One of?" Easily the worst episode ever. The writer for last night's ep has been with the series from the beginning and has had a number of duties as assistant producer, writer, etc. She was also the actress who played Jacqueline's friend who got in the accident when Drama couldn't reach her.

The show has been on a decline since the 3rd season or so.
It is still good, but no where near the 1st 2 or 3 seasons.

Unless the next 7 episodes are about the guys shrooming in Joshua Tree again, this season is much better than the first or third years.

Re: Entourage: Season Five

Whew! Glad to hear I'm not the only one that thought this was probably the worst episode of the show EVER. Up to now, I've thought this season was consistently great so I'm certainly not going to write it off because of one bad episode, but man was that horrible. Same thing happened when Tony went out to the desert with a chick from Vegas in Season 6 of The Sopranos. I wish all these writers would realize that watching people freak out on peyote or mushrooms does not constitute great entertainment.

The only time I did laugh during this episode was when Drama was taking a leak and said "I thought I pulled my cock off".

yeah brent, i thought of the sopranos when i saw this ep =P. the only way this could have been funny is if the peyota trip resulted in the entire episode done as musical while they were on a trip with the p0rnstars. were they real p0rnstars BTW or not?
