: : ENTOURAGE was a nice, disposable fluffy episode after SOPRANOS. Funny, and the addition of Carla Gugina to the cast is awesome, I love her. But seriously, put Rex Lee in the opening credits.
: I loathe Entourage. Sure, it's shallow, the characters are paper-thin, Turtle and Drama are unbearably bad actors, and I believe it to be more or less just Sex and the City for boys ("I watch it cause I totally want to BE it"), but I think it's greatest crime is that it is just unfunny.
: Two things really sum up ENTOURAGE for me. One is that in the post-Sopranos promo last night it was noted that Entourage was given 4 stars by US Weekly (and man, they are hard to please. They totally only gave the Scarlet Johannson-Cameron Diaz war 2.5 stars), and this blog post I have copied and pasted from our own Brian Lynch's MySpace page:

: ENTOURAGE MAD-LIBS
:
: Who doesn't love ENTOURAGE? I sure do. And I truly believe that the only thing better than watching ENTOURAGE is writing it. If you agree, boy, is this your lucky day. I proudly present to you a way for us to co-write a scene from ENTOURAGE, via my newly created ENTOURAGE MAD-LIBS.
: Enjoy and Mad Lib it up, bitch!
: VINCENT, ERIC, TURTLE and JOHNNY DRAMA walk into (trendy hollywood eatery).
: A bunch of HOT GIRLS pass by. Turtle stops and talks while the others take a seat.
: TURTLE: Ladies, ladies, ladies.
: HOT GIRL 1: Turtle, we're not talking to you, you promised you'd get us into the (current hot actor) premiere if one of us made out with you and you totally didnt.
: TURTLE: Did I say that? What can I say, that premiere was harder to get into than (trendy hollywood club) on a Thursday.
: Turtle takes a seat at entourage's table.
: TURTLE: Think I'm wasting premiere tickets on THEM? Maybe if one them (sex act) me.
: VINCENT: Turtle, dont talk about that kinda thing in front of E. God knows he ain't gettin any.
: ERIC: Hey, fuck you.
: JOHNNY DRAMA: Dont feel bad, E. I know what its like to be in love.
: VINCENT: Youve been in love, Johnny? When was this?
: TURTLE: And was it your right hand or your left?
: Much high-fiving.
: JOHNNY DRAMA: Shut up, Turtle. Yeah, bro, I HAVE been in love. That exotic foreign chick that I met while shooting my scene in (crappy 80's movie).
: E: You were in that?
: JOHNNY DRAMA: I was cut out. Hoping for a director's cut.
: TURTLE: Exotic? That bitch was from (shitty third world country) and had a peg leg.
: JOHNNY DRAMA: Shut up, Turtle. Its still a foreign country. Though she did give me (hilarious STD).
: (somewhat famous up and coming hollywood starlet)walks by.
: STARLET: Hi, Vince.
: VINCE: Hey baby.
: Erics phone rings.
: ERIC: (into phone) Hello?
: EXT. ARIS CAR - DAY.
: Ari is driving in his car, talking on his cell phone. For the remainder of this conversation, we will cut between Eric and Ari.
: ARI: (into cell) (famous diminutive actor) , Vincent has his cell phone off, put him on.
: ERIC: Anything you say to Vince, you can say to me, (more offensive word for retard).
: ARI: Fucking fine, pizza boy. I need to know if Vinnie's read the new (mainstream screenwriter) script I messengered over.
: ERIC: No, but I did. It's a piece of shit. Besides, we read something we want to do.
: Ari puts his phone to his chest and mouths fuck fuck fuck over and over, and then resumes talking into it...
: ARI: Fantastic. What is it?
: ERIC: Its the new (last name of edgy yet mainstream enough for middle america screenwriter). Its (classic movie) meets (shitty violent movie).
: ARI: No can do, E. The studio is already interested in (big-time a-list actor).
: ERIC: So its your job to make them interested in Vince.
: ARI: Its a bad move, E.
: ERIC: Yeah, well, Vince wants to do it.
: ARI: Listen, you little (rodent), listen good. I know what Im doing.
: Before I met (a-list successful hollywood director) he was the first assistant camera director on (crappy sitcom) and now look where he is----
: ERIC: Yeah, and you don't rep him anymore. Want to keep repping Vince? Make this happen.
: Eric hangs up the phone.
: JOHNNY DRAMA: Shut up, Turtle.
: SCENE!
