Entourage: The Young and the Stoned

By Matthew Wood

It’s another glamorous day in the life of the rich and famous as the ENTOURAGE boys … wait for the cable guy.

Yeah, that’s not exactly what we think of when we imagine what it’s like to be a movie star, but we’ve all had to spend the day waiting for that premium sports package upgrade (the boys must have had the cable company take away the NFL Network from their package too – I know that’s been stressing me out all week).
Fortunately, Vinny’s got a stash of the chronic weed and, provided Turtle can get the grocery shopping done, it promises to be a good day of getting baked and awaiting the opportunity to watch a re-run of the Oakland Raiders season in review. Good times.

Turtle of course finds some ladies to party with at the grocery store, but gets pulled over by an overzealous cop who makes him throw the KBs down the sewer. But he miraculously retrieves it and the party is on. Whew, that was a close one. But,8/13 since nothing bad ever actually happens to the boys, you could probably predict that he wasn’t going to do any hard time for it.
Meanwhile, E continues his charade of being a manager. In an amazing freak accident, Anna Farris rear ends him while wearing just a towel (if I had a quarter for every time a hot actress chick in a towel ran into me, I’d … not be able to buy a newspaper). It turns out Anna has a boyfriend, but – hooray! – she happens to be looking for a manager.

I’m going to go out on a limb with a bold prediction for this one: Eric agrees to become her manager, but then she wants to get romantically involved, and he F’s it up. Oh, and he doesn’t get any work done – big surprise.
Not that she doesn’t need some representation. I checked out her resume and found that she had been in such great blockbusters as SCARY MOVIE 1 through 5 and MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND. She even voiced the part of Stoned Hippie Chick/Teen Girl Hippie on an episode of KING OF THE HILL. So, you know, she’s going places.

In other news, Ari’s jealous that his wife is doing a soap opera reunion show where she makes out with the hot young star. He tries to sabotage the scene, which only infuriates her more. The whole plotline is pretty lame, but the one thing we get out of it is that Ari’s wife has a surprisingly hot body.
So, at the end of the day, we’re right back where we started – as usual – with the boys not actually doing anything, and E contemplating work that he’s not actually going to do either. But at least they got the weed back, so let the good times roll.

The Shield Season Finale — "Spanish Practices"
  A season, a miniseries, a drama, a cinema verité... or whatever you want to call it, a good show doesn't need a category -- it creates its own and transcends them all. The Shield is definitly getting there.

Renaissance — Stunning Visuals, Yet Not Much Else
  I saw this last night and Brandon... what the hell?!?!. This was GREAT! As you said the visuals were awesome. It was done in black and white with little to no grey tones creating a totally unique look. The set pieces were incredible with an obvious influence from Blade Runner (cool!) The animation was spectacular. As for the story you're dead wrong. The story was great. This was a tight thriller with an interesting premise that asked some heavy philosophical questions. It moved along nicely and held my interest. The characters were somewhat over the top and archetypal, but that was necessary given the animation style - lack grey tones which obscurred nuance and details. The dialog was a little flat at times, but nothing too distracting (it may have been translated from French; I'm not sure.) This was great sci fi, one of the better ones I've seen in long while.
