[colinxx235]

Better than the usually 20-25 minute episodes!

I called Shaw yesterday to get HBO Canada and they have a special on for 1/2 price for the first 2 months so it’s only $8/month. I’m just going to cancel again once Entourage is over so it’s only going to cost $16 total.... worth it to not have to deal with torrents.

[sexualbanana]

Lavin's quickly becoming a good source for one-liners.

[KO22]

hahah "did you guys come together? you wanna cum together?" i laughed my ass of

[GenerationX]

fuck, ari's situation blows dick :(
it was hilarious when he found out the vodka wasn't actually vodka haha.
use icefilms, its better than torrenting

[skandalouz_08]

I thought that episode was kind of weak for a season opener. So glad the show is back though so I cant really complain.

E is such a whiney bitch, but Lavins character is certainly providing the hysterics so far!

[kamakurakid]

Well that was a snoozefest, I guess watching Breaking Bad before this Matlock inspired 8th season of Entourage was not a good idea.

[l/l/rX]

i personally thought that ep sucked balls. the show is dead...watch alphas instead :thumbsup:

For sure, he's the new Ari.

[Jlude]

not impressed with the first ep

[[GaGe]]

I thought the first ep was pretty good, better than the Season 7 opener by far... You guys expect too much haha

[colinxx235]

^

It was bleh for most people. Typically anyone would grow to expect a lot, awesome show, last season... etc

Especially after the season opener of Breaking Bad blew my fucking mind, that show is sick

[dj_patm]

Entourage has always sucked with season openers and has been AMAZING at finales.

[Gorilla]

That last ep sucked.. show really isnt moving much. Must mean the next 4 show's will be "mind blasting"

Werd. Tonight's episode was fucking crazy.

My predictions? Turtles new business venture will take off, eventually leading to being partners with Mark Cuban, Amanda Daniels and Ari are going to get together, Johnny Bananas is ultimately going to fail but he will sky rocket with the mining movie. Last episode of Entourage Ari is going to retire from the agency field.

You're thinking Dana Gordon, not Amanda Daniels.

Be interesting to see what happens, but hopefully the show has a few good twists before it's all over.

[88CRX]

Now that was a solid episode :thumbsup:

[b_t]

yeah no kidding the first two weren't much good, but this one was great. really great.

[colinxx235]

I am really curious what is going to happen with Vince/turtle the next episode... if he'll go on a bender or what.

That was a shitty episode for Turtle... retired/no gf/witness a suicide.

I miss sloan too =( haha


But either way it was a solid episode. I look forward to Sunday nights a lot. Big Brother, Breaking Bad (mind blasting) and a solid finish from Entourage haha

[b_t]

the last two episodes have been way better imo

[Gorilla]

There still hasnt been any progress though. The episodes been good..but not good enough for the last season

[skandalouz_08]

I was bored by Sunday's episode I brought out the laptop and fooled around on it through the whole episode. Needs way more action.

The show hasnt moved a step since the first show this season. Hurry up end Drama and Dice 's story, Kill off Turtle, Vincce get married, E go back to NY

[INITIALD]

:zzz:

[OCDP]

What a snooze fest indeed. Unless the next couple episodes are just out of this fucking world, this is by far one of the slowest and most boring seasons, IMO.

[bashir26]

worst season so far. every episode sucks.

all i want to see is them buy new mansions, meet new chicks and drive new lambos. how hard is that

[sexualbanana]

Funny how, the moment they decide to add an extended story arc, the show suddenly sucks and everybody wants it to go back to the previous seasons.

Personally, I don't mind it. It's new. The first couple seasons really didn't do much in terms of story.

What I'm curious is how they plan on wrapping some of these storylines up in only a couple episodes

yeah no kidding. I <3 story arcs so this hasn't been so bad, but Entourage was doing the big arc stuff for seasons... 3 onwards or so? and those ones developed at a faster pace. like the stuff with Medellin and Smoke Jumpers was more hopping than the last couple seasons.

this season is still working for me, but yeah. how are they going to wrap this up in 3 episodes? that's not much time for Ari to avoid his divorce (or not), Vince to get a relationship going with that smokin reporter, Turtle's business to succeed, Drama's show to debut, and E to do.. whatever

[mdeleon]

Isn't there a movie coming out once the season is done, or is that not happening anymore?

[Jlude]

no reports that the movie is off.. but haven't heard anything about them shooting the movie right now or even immediately after the season is over.

Based on the way the season has been going, I'd say the movie will wrap everything up.

[hurrdurr]

So far, they've all said that they would like to do a movie, but nothing has been confirmed

[sexualbanana]

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why people want an Entourage movie. What could the movie possibly be about? The early episodes weren't about anything. The later episodes have an extended arc that a lot of people don't like, and would rather see a return to the earlier eps.

[MGCM]

why do a movie? why not just extend this season or do 1 more "FINAL" season. I'm assuming they decided to do a movie because they will make more money that way......sound about right?

[dansmith11]

making a movie about a tv show about making movies?

seems like they should just stick to tv lol

[95teetee]

it might be a good thing this is the last season-after Sasha Grey last year and now this Melinda Clarke person, they'd have to round up another horrible actress for next year.

Melinda Clarke is awesome, I wold love to watch her skankyness as Julie Cooper on the OC.
I was kinda curious when they would bring her back to a better tv role...

[MGCM]

Isn't this season supposed to be short? So how many episodes does that leave? 2? 3?

[b_t]

man that last episode sucked

I have a feeling the series finale is gonna be a huge let down. Last episode was ridiculous.

[Gorilla]

Im soo disappointed in this season :thumbsdow

started watching it from season 1 again, and now am on season 2.. soo much better.

[95teetee]

(ok, that's not really what they said, but sorta:D )

[dirtsniffer]

am i the only one enjoying this?

[95teetee]

^nope- I've said it before -a bad episode (or what some people seem to consider 'bad') of Entourage is still better than pretty much anything else on television.

I always wonder what exactly people are expecting.

[RickDaTuner]

I think that the Walberg crew is playing down these last few episodes in order to leave the really good and juicy stuff for the movie.

The way that I have been receiving the story line plots is with a great deal of foresight into the next and final step, lots of open ended potential. We know Vince is a movie star, we know E made it as a rep, We know Drama is Finally getting his Show, and Turttle is on his way to independence, and would you guys really care if Ari makes it his wife, or with Dana? Personally I would like to see him take on the baller playboy life style he should have had from the start. sadly it wont be release until 2013....

[rawsensation]

This week's episode did leak out. Pretty decent episode, ties everything together better.

[GenerationX]

Where'd you see it?

I did the same. This season has been less than stellar so I found my Entourage DVD's and started watching from season 1 again. I don't have season 6 or 7 so I need to get those but will probably buy them when this season gets released on DVD/Blu Ray

Still not impressed. If they are trying to save it for the movie they should do a better job of keeping people who love this show entertained otherwise people will lose interest before the movie comes out.

None of the stories have been particularly great, but what really bugs me about this season is it's another year of the repetitive on-again, off-again sloan-E storyline. They should have dextered Sloan 4 seasons ago. She's gorgeous, sure, but they obviously don't have any problem finding smokeshows, that storyline isn't funny, and it hasn't been interesting in years. Not a fan of having another season of E-Vince clashes either. They've dragged many of the exact same conflicts from previous seasons into slightly different situations, and there's too many serious moments where you can just look past it.

If this wasn't the last season, this would be the season that would have me giving up on the show. Hopefully they already have good new ideas and are saving them for the movie. Will definitely be holding out for the reviews before I fork out cash for that.

[sexualbanana]

Funny article I just read about Entourage....


In the first two episodes of the final season of Entourage, we were reintroduced to our circle of bros who were faced with the recurring problems of the modern bro. Bros want to hook up with girls. Bros want cool, fulfilling careers in which they can 'be their own boss.' Bros want their circle of bros to respect them for the 'right' reasons. Bros eventually want to break free from their pack of bros to find a gal who loves them despite their bro-ness, but at the same time a bro must still maintain a meaningful connection with his bro circle.

So yeah, new season, same stories, different characters acting out the various emotional range of responses associated with bros. Turtle is always trying to find his life's path and a hot girl. E is trying to manage 'being a bro' vs. his need for female affirmation. Vince continues to function as the bro who enables the bro lifestyle for his bros. Drama is the bro everyone is rooting for. Ari just dabbles in bro-dom, because he is making real money. Then sometimes other auxiliary bros come along and provide laughs and disappointment.

Entourage has played an important role in the evolution of the modern bro. Our inner bros have been liberated during our recent Film & TV Bronaissance, and it has become completely acceptable to sit around in football jerseys and talk about bongs. Bros are no longer under pressure to 'evolve' into 'real men.' You can roam the Earth as a bro forever, sort of like the Dude in The Big Lebowski or the Highlander in Highlander. The new wave of bro media has let the modern male know that he can achieve his dreams without compromising his bro-ness.

Vinny and the Bros as Inspirational Figures

How did you feel about the world that Entourage attempted to portray when it first launched? Even though I tell myself that I am 'above' Entourage, the romantic in me still dug the concept because I could envision a world in which me and my alpha bros were rich and famous. Even if we didn't achieve those pillars of arbitrary societal status, it doesn't mean that the bro in me won't ever stop thinking that my bonds will somehow become the ultimate circle of bros in the history of bro-dom. I can't believe Mark Wahlberg and his bros might have more impact on modern culture than me and my bros. I swear we have the best inside jokes, sports takes, and lewd commentary on women.

After watching last night's second episode of Entourage, it seems like the show is busy setting up some heavy emotional arcs in Season 8. What for, bros? I sort of just want to chill with my bros.

I guess there is some sort of 'pressure' on a show to justify its own existence by providing 'closure' for all of the characters who 'meant so much to us.' Entourage shouldn't be looking to simulate emotional depth for characters whose bro archetypes are already established. Since Day 1 of Entourage, we have just been chilling with bros, watching some bros getting into bro-like shenanigans. There has never been any emotional connection to the characters. The strongest emotion I feel towards a character is 'immense pity' for Turtle's existence as his role of the saddest bro alive, but for some reason they need to keep branding him as The Little Hefty Bro Who Could.

Unnecessary Closures: When Bros Change Before We're Ready

Now that Vinny Chase is sober, he has undertaken a passion project to write a screenplay about some dog, which is probably supposed to be a metaphor for life or something. Why does he need to prove that he is 'artistic' and can find fulfillment by creating content instead of just starring in movies? Why do I need to value Ari Gold as a family man? Will Eric Murphy ever find his bro balance? Does Drama really need to achieve bro-level self-awareness? Is it realistic to think that Turtle will become a successful entrepreneur with a hot girlfriend who likes him for his 'beautiful mind?'

I know all of this stuff is supposed to be 'uplifting' and provide commentary on 'what is truly important in life', but all of this 'big-picture' commentary really gets away from the never-ending spirit of bro.

Since a bro can last forever, why do we need closure on the Entourage bros?

I would feel better if the show lasted forever. It's not like I will ever think of Adrian Grenier as anyone other than Vincent Chase. Everyone involved in the show should legally change their names to their character names. That way, they can morph the show into a reality show in which they are all forced to live in a house together. Even Scott Caan is allowed into the new venture because he's always been a bro ever since Varsity Blues.

It feels like most people seem to complain about the most recent seasons of Entourage as being 'bad,' but I wonder how they have become 'worse' than the early seasons of the show. Was it 'more fun' at the beginning? It seems just as annoying, especially since the first couple of seasons dealt with Eric Murphy's struggle for relevance in Hollywood. Maybe people are saying that they had an emotional connection to the Aquaman and Medellin eras? It is hard for me to believe that these bros could have really 'devolved,' because I thought we had entered into an informal contract that guaranteed us the Right to Bro.

The 'flaws' that you find in Entourage are the same flaws that you find in the modern bro. They lack emotional depth, and they are grounded in their circle of bros. It is unrealistic to think that a bro could authentically evolve 'as a compassionate person,' which is the same reason we get annoyed with the final act of most Judd Apatow films — the bro man-children are forced to go through a metamorphbrosis, turning into a 'real man' who sees that there is life beyond bro. The rest of the movie was a really fun celebration of a circle of bros, but now you're telling me that I am supposed to abandon everything that made this an enjoyable experience?

After celebrating bros, why do we have to kill them off by having them emotionally evolve?

It seems like the majority of 'relevant' television shows are perceived as being 'worth your time' because the viewer simulates 'emotionally evolving' with the characters. In bro-themed shows, it feels like it is all an asynchronous series of broments and chill sessions. Opportunities, girls, and mini-bro-rifts come and go, but the spirit of bro is 'the glue' that keeps the show together.

As a liberated bro, I am not focused on the social value of Entourage, especially when it comes to the portrayal of females in Hollywood. Didn't they already have their own fem-bro media such as Sex and the City, Bridesmaids, and Golden Girls? I'm trying to experience Entourage with my simplest bro goggles on, throwing aside any sort of need to perform 'cutting cultural analysis' while I simultaneously weigh the show's place in television history. The pressure to formulate 'new reasons' for why Entourage is entertaining is probably what ruined the show for most people. By watching Entourage, I am just chilling with my bros. I am dreaming with my bros.

There are times when I feel like I resent the simpleness of bros, but then I remind myself that bros have never been as free to bro as they are now. Bro-wave media has taken off the bro's shackles, freeing him from the pressures of evolving into a man who uses 'emotional evolution' as a way to cover up that life has defeated him. Shows like Entourage give us hope that the bro way of life is a sustainable way of life.

As long as you have your bros, you can cultivate a meaningful existence. A clan of true bros potentially outlasts any girlfriend, wife, or sibling. It provides emotional support that helps us to escape from the pain and monotony of everyday life with a mix of humor, escapism, and bro-based situational absurdity.

I am afraid of losing my bros if they choose to 'emotionally evolve' beyond the bro. It feels like I have already lost my Entourage bros. Hopefully, Entourage will provide a paradigm-shifting ending in which the bro is allowed to have his own version of a happy ending. This is probably unrealistic because bros will never end, as we find true happiness as long as we exist freely in the Circle of Bro.

Best final line in a show though (excluding the after scene part obviously):

"I better find something to fuck in Paris" - Drama

[95teetee]

well, at least the JTS moment came in the very last episode (the hot, independent, intelligent, successful, I-don't-date-actors journalist is marrying Vince after 24 hours:thumbsdow ).

But the Ari parts pulled it back.

They did a really good job of selling things in this episode... some great speeches. Good ending all around. I was buying Ari quitting everything too, and figured the call after the credits would just be a weak plot twist... but that guy really knows how to pitch a job.

amazing season finale. What`s this with people saying something about a movie???

[Gorilla]

people are going to forget about the show by the time the movie rolls around. I heard they just hired writers for it.

The show has become more focused for female viewers, with love stories, wedding, pregnancy.

Need to go back to the roots, like when they go to the joshua tree, buy a phantom

overall miss the show already

Fyi, the complete series is coming out on DVD and Bluray on November 6th.

Amazon currently has them both for half the price of sites like Future shop and Best Buy. I bought the blu ray for $185 with the slightly faster shipping (next day was another 15 bucks) and all the stupid import fee deposit, while Best Buy has it listed for 325 bucks.
