I’m really torn. Findamentally, Entourage drives me crazy. Yet I keep watching more episodes. I think the thing that leeps me watching is Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven’s character). He is absolutely amazing to watch. I’m kind of in awe and sometimes dream about using his conversational and communication tactics in my job. I’ll let you know how that goes.
Vincent Chase is supposed to be a hot actor, but Adrian Grenier is neither hot (sorry, I liked him a lot better when he was younger) nor a good actor. So I don’t buy the fact that he is so sought after.
The whole show is about “the pursuit of p*ssy” and chasing vapid women they could never get anyway. It’s kind of sad.
Sure, Vincent Chase has a manager and an agent, but he does absolutely not thinking for himself. He turns to his manager to every single decision, to like what t-shirt he wears everyday. That’s annoying. He has no thoughts for himself, and no real personality.
The only person that takes things seriously is Eric, Vince’s manager. He actually works for his money and genuinely tried to get things done, although everybody else shits on him.
The other three characters and genuinely unhappy people who treat each other like absolute shit. They are supposed to be best friends til the end? They seem to hate each other. I find it grating the way they find ways to screw each other over and put each other down at every turn. This is supposed to be the epitome of male friendship and every male’s fantasy. That’s sad. I used to hate it when women would say “my friends are just like Sex and the City” and now I have heard men say that their friends are just like Vince’s entourage. Again, sad.
The characters are truly self-loathing and actually incredibly insecure and pathetic. How is this every male’s fantasy life? Supposedly?
On that note…when is Season 3 coming out on dvd?
