Entourage 7/31

That may have been the best episode of the season. Love the behind-the-scenes stuff with the agents, and Vince's final scene sticking up for the the director's cut. And Ari had about a 5-minute run of one-liner after one-liner. Beautiful.
 
The show dove off into cartoon land tonight...and it was the best episode of the season.

Everything that happened was so over the top, it kind of got back to the Hollywood parody material that made the show work in the beginning.
 
The show is definitely back. I am surprised. After some of those early episodes, I thought it had dove off the cliff into lame and predictable. That was back to what made it a good show in the first place.

Don't know why this occurred to me, but does it look to anyone else like Lloyd has been eating a few too many cheeseburgers?
 
the johnny drama stuff was ridiculous. damn near ruined the episode... take away the drama stuff and it was a solid episode.
 
I liked the Drama stuff. All the shows he has been on kind of crack me up. If you counted up the "three eps" of every TV show he has done, his IMDB entry would make him the most prolific actor of all time.

VICTORY!!!!
 
Good, not great episode. But the last two weeks were beyond great, so expecting that 3 weeks in a row is a bit much. I think the Drama **** was over the top. Anyone else think he's just trying too hard this season?
 
I thought the Drama **** was hilarious.

The Starbucks scene was vintage Drama.
 
That said Lucky Louie absolutely destroyed the mighty Entourage on all comedic levels tonight.

Last week's Lucky Louie was the funniest episode of TV I have seen in years.
 
Lucky Louie hasn't been as consistently funny as I thought it would be given its cast, but it's gotten away from just showing dicks for laughs, has had me rolling at times and has displayed a surprising amount of heart for a show with Jim Norton among the regular cast.

I'm a fan. I don't love it like I love the Sopranos or the Wire, but it has it's own place and is much better than anything on network television.

It's so low budget....

But the scenarios are things I have never seen on TV.... or even in the movies.
 
It's really kind of real, in a completely non-real way, if that makes any sense.

The insane brother in law character is awesome. Like Kramer but in no way a rip off.

I've pointed out before that I missed seasons 1 and 2 of Entourage and started watching it from the start this season.

It's now my favorite show. I'm obsessed with this show, I just love it.

I'll post the pic of Piven that I took at the Talladega Nights premiere a little later

EDIT: I can't figure out how to post pics that aren't from the web on here. Is it possible? Anyway, so Piven was walking around the after-party and this tall, model gorgeous woman came up to him and asked to take a picture. So he goes over to one of the race cars, unbuttons his shirt halfway and sprawls across the hood as the woman turns to pose for the camera, then shoots the Ari look as the guy she was with snaps the photo. It was pretty bizarre, but I guess he's sort of eccentric, so it fit his image. The photo I have is very poor quality, and it's when he's getting ready to pose. I'll post it here if someone can tell me how.

By the way, I didn't go up and shake his hand because 1) lack of balls and 2) didn't want to seem like a starstruck fan: "Oh, you're so great in Entourage."
 
Ha! See if you can post that pic, Jeff.

I loved the Edward Burns cameo - nice surprise.

The last few episodes have been Piven's best work to date.

Jeff, try uploading it to Photobucket.com first (you can get an ID and password from Bugmenot.com), and then link to it from there.
 
The episode only lasted 24 minutes. Take away all the unnecessary Drama scenes and you had a good 15 minutes.
