I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

JT is totally one of those actors who has gotten better looking as she ages. To be completely crass about it, she's a total MILF.

You guys know me, if I watch more Entourage, will I like it? because I can't decide from disc one.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

disc one, season one? i didn't start loving any of the characters besides E until the second season.

So far, yeah, I'm there. Although Johnny Drama clutching at fame is kind of amusing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I watched the first two episodes of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency yesterday and found it quite charming. It feels very much like the books, so far.

Not javachik

HOLY EFF. I finally got around to watching the last/just-aired season of Big Love. I'm sorry that they killed off the person whom they killed off, and I hope that she or he comes back in flashbacks. It certainly amps things up and sets Bill and Alby up for interesting interactions next season. Also, Mary Kay Place rocks.

eta I know if it's a he or she so it's a whitefonted not-completely-a-spoiler.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, Erika - don't you love Ari?

::is sad::

I love the hell out of Entourage. But that's partly because of Ari, and partly because OMG E/Vince is for the win, and partly because I find Johnny hilarious (and touching) and the Johnny-and-Turtle dynamic cracks me up.

It's kind of like Twelfth Night, only with less malice and more swearing. Well, okay, and less cross-dressing. But just as much gay love.

Yeah, I do. I'm going to watch it some more and see if I think it gets better.

I don't think much actually happens, at least on the seasons I've seen. It just keeps on being a bunch of guys who hang out together. And Ari Gold is love. I kind of like that, though - that there really isn't much going on, other than the boys all loving one another, and messing around, and Ari being Ari. It's fluff, but it's very likeable fluff. With Ari.

So it's not like Will and Grace, with the banter and the punchlines and stuff...because if it was that, I thought maybe I was episode one bored...in that way(and only in that way, maybe, although Hank Hill's got buddies, too,) it might be like King of The Hill, because a surprising amount of KOTH synopses would read "Hank gets embarrassed when..." but it's funny because Hank Hill is totally repressed and strong emotions make him uncomfortable. So, the writers just love dropping him into new fads/subcultures and watching him squirm. And I do know how to say "krav maga" now because Sarah Silverman has it with Mrs. Ari.
