I thought maybe you all in Premium would find this funnier than the people at DN seem to. [link]
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

HBO has just ordered 9 episodes of the pilot Treme from The Wire writers David Simon and Eric Overmyer which has been in development for the pay channel. It's a post-Katrina hourlong set in the New Orleans music scene and will be filmed there.

I'm REALLY excited about that, considering I don't know when I'll see it.

It's kind of funny that I've ended up an Entourage fan, cause when I was on HBO .com that was Not Done among Wirefiends. Cause we, you know, Keep it Real and all that...have no need for that...I believe the term I learned was "Hollywood dreck"...the irony of using Yiddish to diss a Hollywood show never escaped me. We generally got along with the Deadwood folks, sent pseudo-rivalrous woof tickets to the Sopranos paisans, and tried to pretend SATC and Entourage didn't exist.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Aw, imho Entourage is much better than SATC. I really can't stand SATC, but I find Entourage terribly disarming. (Even as I type that, I wonder if that's some kind of internalised misogyny speaking, or jealousy, or something? But I don't THINK it is. I just - really, I cannot wrap my head around the level of consumer culture that SATC seems to represent. I cannot find it in my heart to give the faintest shadow of a fuck about designer brands. But I suspect Entourage is just as guilty of this vacuous twaddle, isn't it? But - it has Ari Gold.)

I think "Sex" is cute. But I don't think you're missing anything if you don't watch it. Ironically, I've never felt the urge to...pimp it to anyone, despite the name. I think it gets/got SO MUCH attention that it hardly needs my particular obsessive brand of fandom love. Because I guess I like being the underdog, like writing genfic when everyone else is about "VinceandErictheirloveissofuckin'pure!!1"(Yeah, I get it. I don't need to know about it, but I get it.Eric is cuter than Mandy Moore, imo) Much like nobody fics the Sopranos...ok, I won't say nobody...once in the long desert between new eps, I did actually findSopranos fic at FF.net. It was okay, but not good.

Oh the heck with Ari, it's Eric who keeps me coming back. Eric and Ari's wife - she's terrific. Adrian Grenier doesn't hurt the eyes either. I'm behind on the series. The last eps I watched the making of Medihine, however you spell it. Loved the director!

Oh! Speaking of Adrian Grenier, The Devil Wears Prada was on network tv the other night and I watched the last 45 minutes. I'd seen it before, & read the book, and like the movie and the actors. Anyway, I'd forgotten AG was in it, as the boyfriend, requisitely adorable. The person I completely forgot was in it is Simon Baker - an Oh! It's the Mentalist! moment. Also Tracy Thoms from Rent and Wonderfalls.
