happy 4th of july

July 4th, 2005

this will be my third day straight eating barbeque, thank god for the south and for the pig.

I have become a very big fan of HBO’s Entourage which airs on Sunday evenings at 10 EST, with a rebroadcast Monday evening. I pretty much had to force myself to watch a couple of episodes to pick up on the levels of humor layered throughout the dialogue and to get a grasp on the show as a whole. Please do not get me wrong though, this show is not the intellectual nugget that you can brag about watching on Monday mornings, like Deadwood or Walker Texas Ranger. The writing is clever enough though to entertain for the 20+ minutes it occupies in my weekly schedule. Jeremy Piven’s character, Ari Gold, is easily the highlight of the show, but each of the four guys, well Vince and his entourage of three, are equally likable. I’ll end by saying that any show which guest stars Bob Saget, playing Bob Saget, taking bong hits while rustling hookers is golden in my book. Best line from last night - Turtle to Johnny Drama: ‘Dude did you just get co#$-blocked by Bob Saget?’.
