After watching these guys flub their way around Hollywood without actually doing anything all season, I have just one request for next week’s upcoming ENTOURAGE season finale: At least don’t let MEDELLIN suck.

The movie the ENTOURAGE boys have been trying to get out all season long is finally going to be shown at Cannes, and it’s about time. We’ve been dealing with prima donna directors, execs in their suits tying production up with their red tape, and just about anything else going wrong that possibly could.

This week, the boys’ trip to France is delayed by a Code Red terrorist alert at the airport. So it’s private jet time, except the only one with a plane is Sydney Pollack – who happens to hate Ari. And they miscounted the number of passengers, which screws up everybody’s plan.

Fortunately, none other than Kanye West (in what has to be one of the worst cameo acting appearances) shows up with his crew and a plane. So it’s off to Cannes again and everybody’s happy.

I have to admit, I’ve never much liked this show. It seems like a big exercise in futility, at least from a plot standpoint. You know there’s going to be some sort of problem that causes a minor disturbance with the guys’ lives, but always gets rectified at the end. Oh, and nobody ever does anything.


That’s all good and fine, but this might be the last straw. This show is just so unbelievable. But even more than that, it’s becoming more poorly acted by the day. Kanye looked like he actually was walking into the airport and didn’t even know there was a camera there. And that’s not a good thing.

So we’re off to Cannes, where next week’s season finale promises to bring us a half-hearted conflict, solved in a timely manner, along with cuts to hot chicks on the beach in South France. Good times for all.


Maybe I’ll be blown away by this upcoming finale. Maybe there will be some actual conflict. Maybe they’ll leave us with a crazy cliffhanger end to the season, leaving us wanting more. Maybe (gasp) there will actually be some worthwhile acting.

But I doubt it. If I was a gambling man, I would bet more of the same. Apparently, that’s how they roll in the Hollywood world. Or at least in the ENTOURAGE world, which is even faker than the real thing.
