The first few episodes were meh, and episodes 4 and 5 made me quit watching for a while and concentrate on my new favorite series, Avatar. But episodes 6 and 7 threw a monkey wrench in the works, and set things into motion that have kept me glued to series once again. I just finished episode 10 and I hate myself for saying it but I can’t wait to finish the second season.
I hate how Filipino TV manages to mangles imported shows. Aside from the fact that Kris “I’m going to talk like a retarded colegiala high on drugs” Aquino is the host, I just saw that one of their words today is “eleventh monthsary” and it’s categorized as an “event”. O RLY? Aside from the fact that monthsary is a word made up by kids and 20-somethings who can’t even manage to stay together long enough for an anniversary (o hai, self), how the fuck is that an event?!?!?! Seriously! Like, you could have picked “first monthsary” and that would have made more sense! I don’t even know why this bothers me so much but it really really does.
Been on a Firefly kick lately, looking for memorabilia online and checking to see if there are any established Firefly nerdclubs in my neck of the woods. No such luck, but remembering what someone said in a podcast about Adam Baldwin aka Jayne of Firefly fame being a voice actor in a video game, I decided to check his credentials in IMDB. So, did you know:
I love how the internet is a repository of all the information you never even knew you wanted to know.
Entourage is the show you watch before you go on a boys’ night out. It’s Sex and the City for men. It’s what every red-blodded, horndog man aspires to at some point in his life. It’s funny, witty, hip, and has jsut enough underlying tones of male emotional bonding to make it feel real.
Ostensibly it’s about the life of one Vincent Chase, an up and coming movie star, his brother Drama (a washed out actor), E (Vince’s best friend and his manager), and Turtle (a sometime rap music manager and freeloader). It’s supposedl based on the life of Mark Wahlberg (who co-produces the series), and tells the tales and travails of a bunch of friends living the life in Hollywood, and it comes with all the glitz, glamour, and sex that you can imagine.
HBO’s been yoyo-ing between finally finishing season 3 and filming for season 4, and with their history of cutting good shows, it’s still touch and go at this point. I really hope they keep this show going though, because it’s spectacular. I’d suggest that any guy out there just go out and buy a copy of the complete seasons 1,2 and 3. I don’t care if you buy the pirated copies, just WATCH THIS SHOW!
Update: Just as I was about to sumbit this blog, I noticed that HBO is indeed extending the series, and has a preview clip on the official entourage website.
Hugh Laurie, when asked about his American accent in an interview once replied: It’s as if you’re playing left-handed. Or like everyone else is playing with a tennis racket and you have a salmon. I moan about it a lot. I wonder how he feels about Australian Jesse Spencer, who plays the Australian Dr. Robert Chase in “House MD”.
Pissed off would probably be an understatement.
