DOUG ELLIN MAKES ME REGRET SAYING ANYTHING NICE: So, Entourage. To defend myself a bit, the last episode ended with a recovering drug addict witnessing the suicide of one of his business partners, a friend from rehab. That is a setup fraught with dramatic possibilities. One possibility that I hadn't considered is that it would lead, 23 minutes later, to the boys chasing each other with a rubber penis in celebration of falsifying evidence in a criminal case. Did I really say a few days ago that the show seems to be growing up?

The show is only growing up if it's smart and realistic enough to exist in a universe in which the bathroom at the police department is subject to video/audio surveillance and Vince is about to get busted with serious consequences for going Onterrio.
ReplyDeleteThe enthusiasm for which Scott Caan's character talked into the penis prosthetic as if it were a phne (final scence) was a bit disturbing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, like his favorite phone of all time is a fake penis with trace amounts of some stranger's urine in it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, but at least that last scene was a couple of minutes where we didn't have to listen to Perrey Reeves.
ReplyDeleteI watched about the first minute and saw the writing credit of "Written by Doug Ellin and Jerry Ferrara." This immediately diminished my optimism enough that I decided I was better off going to bed and leaving it for later viewing on the DVR.
ReplyDeletethey dress that Perrey Reeves was wearing during counseling-- did it appear to have her nipples outline sort hemmed-in as a part of the dress...or were those her actual nipples?
ReplyDeleteWow, that show sure has changed since I stopped watching it.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things Gwynneth Paltrow can't live without.
ReplyDeleteShe has three of them hanging on the stairway so that she and her husband can pass them every day, and then she keeps another one in the bedroom -- it's great for bathing the kids.
