It’s going to sound very redundant to refer to Entourage as a show about nothing. The early critics always said it wasn’t really about anything. It was glorfying LA douchism. Vince was a total douche. He was in movies for his “looks” and he walked around town phuking chicks like Hank Moody.
Wait. Whatever…consider it revisionist clairvoyance.
Whatever is right –Vince is the least dynamic character on the show. Droz from PCU made being an agent the coolest thing on the planet. Everyone loves Drama so much HBO actually made a real Viking Quest flash game. Turtle is the homie you need to have — he comes through when everyone else can’t…and he loves to drive. And E well…he’s the most annoying (but I think that’s really Kevin Connolly seeping through) but in spite of it, the character fits.
The lavish, guest star, herb induced high-life is the current “American Dream” and Entourage has always made that 22 minutes on Sunday the most enjoyable part of the tv watching week.
So what’s the point of all this? There is none. That’s the point. Much like this past season of Entourage. 7 episodes have come and gone and all I can tell you is E likes Sloan but he wants to spend time with the crypt keeper. I don’t know what it is about this chick but she just doesn’t look right. Something is off. Waaaay off. This show is so low on ideas it’s becoming a soap opera. Vince doesn’t *need* to do anything and…well at least Jamie Lynn Sigler is hot.
Anyway. This post has just been as aimless and douchey as Entourage. w00t w00t.
It’s still one of the best shows on TV.
She is totally the crypt keeper, not to mention annoying. Vince is still hot so he does not need dynamic.
I agree with just about everything you said. I still love the show, even though this season seems to be wandering nowhere quickly.
And the Fiona Apple lookalike 11 yr-old that E was dating was freaking me out; glad that she is (apparently) out of the picture.
One of the things I like best about the show has always been how many people — even ones that actually live in LA — say that it *not* an accurate depiction of life in LA. You want to think that? Fine. I think the show is *exactly* what life is like in LA.
(Same with Swingers, of course.)
