Summer's brightest bright spot is back with Entourage, as the boys rev up for premiere of Vince's biggest premiere to date: James Cameron's Aquaman. Ugh, if only this wasn't a satire and it was the real premiere of Aquaman. Seriously, poor Orin of the Sea gets no breaks. His Smallville spin-off couldn't even make it on to the CW. Sigh. Tonight's episode was all about the premiere, and how important it would be. Important to Vince, because he wants his mom to be there. Important to Ari, because he and his fledling upstart Agency needs the opening numbers to be big. And important to Turtle and Drama, because tonight will be like shooting fish in the skank barrel. God, I miss this show. More after the jump.
The day starts off like so many others for these boys (and sadly, not for me), with a good dose of booty ogling. There are only a certain number of Aquaman premiere tickets available and Turtle and Drama are in charge of the ho-patrol. Turtle gives his last ticket up to a busty blonde who walks by, but Johnny Drama's standards are a little higher than that. Right. Drama explains in further detail that the girl was top tall: Torso's too long, legs are too short. She was inverted. He might be picky but every girl he's given a ticket to has been at least an 8. Eric asks what Drama rates, and in the one honest statement ever spewed by Johnny Drama, he says: I don't need to rate, I'm the one holding the tickets. So true. Drama ain't gonna be recruited for Balls Models anytime soon, and he knows it. He also knows that he can get laid a lot easier than 90% of the population just by being Vincent Chase's brother. I have a feeling Kevin Dillon, brother of Matt, didn't have to dig too hard to get to the core of this scene. Poor guy. Vince however has noticed that there aren't too many premiere tickets left and wonders how many they gave out. Turtle and Drama concur that they gave out just enough, so that they will have a good selection of hanger-on loving skanks to choose from. And if there are too many? FEEDINGFRENZY! These guys may not be too bright, but they do more thinking with their cocks in one day than most people do with their brains in a whole month. On a total sidenote: Is Eric's transformation from B&T dirtbag to LA Yuppy Douchebag complete yet:
Last season, Ari Gold, had sort of crisis of faith. And since the only thing that Ari believes in is himself, it was a really bad crisis. He got fired from the high-profile Talent Agency he was working for and was forced to take his small client list and punching bag assistant Lloyd with him as he started the Ari Gold Super Duper Talent Agency from scratch. So here we are a few months later and his biggest client is about to either sink or swim (get it...) in the biggest movie of both of their careers. So, yeah, the guy is a little stressed out. Oceans worth of ink have been spilled praising Jeremy Piven's performance as Ari on this show. And he is comic gold. I, personally, don't happen to think that Ari and Jeremy Piven probably aren't so different in reality, but who cares. The guy is the greatest prick on television.
I MIGHT BE A TOTAL ASSHOLE, BUT I CAN GET YOUR NAME ABOVE TITLE, $20 MIL AND 15% OF THE BACK END
Ari starts to notice that there is some dust around the office, and has a Martha Stewart-level freak out. He calls Lloyd into his office and poor sweet gay Lloyd tries to calm him down. Ari can't calm down, he's in West Hollywood (is that like the quivalent of Staten Island in NY? Yikes?) with only 9 people and 1400 square feet. Ari wants this place so clean that Lloyd could get trained on his desk. And by "trained" he doesn't mean on the new version of Microsoft Word.

Things to love about Entourage:
1) The fact that Vince is a cypher with no thought or emotion of his own...and he's celebrated in Hollywood for it
2) Mrs. Ari, smuggling the raisins
3) Johnny getting no love from Momma Chase...when she steps off the tarmac and heads straight for Vinnie, she leaves Johnny hanging, a la Creed (Arms Wide Open)
4) The fact that Shauna was probably 2 centimeters dialated and no one mentions a thing in terms of backstory
5) James Wood. James Frickin' Woods.
6) The quarter jar. I think I actually worked in that office building.

Wow, what a rack on the chic with James Woods. Cant wait for this season, Turtle, Drama, and Ari are what makes this show so frickin awesome.

I love this show, and love that you guys are recapping it now!
I too thought it was really odd that Shauna was inexplicably pregnant, but what can ya do? Great episode...would have been fun if he had an awkward run-in with Mandy Moore or something.

This show is a winner for HBO, and worthy of TVgasm recaps! I wonder how many of the sexual situations Vince experiences are based on the real-life antics of Mark Wahlberg. I also like the acerbic Ari Gold character, but I think Jeremy Piven graduated from the Tony Danza school of acting...the only character he can play is himself.

It's "flirty" video hos ... "slutty" video hos is redundant.

I love that you are recapping this show! Something to look forward to now that Lost is over...
I find it ironic that the least interesting character on the show is the "main" character, Vince. He is boring. Turtle, Ari and Mrs. Ari make the show.

"he and his fledling upstart Agency needs the opening numbers to be big"
Shouldn't this be "need"?
