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

I love Ari SO MUCH. Piven was born to play him. "we at Miller-Gold may be whores, but we're not pimps."

Now tagless for your comfort.

From this week's ep: loooooved Syl's scene in the restaurant.

Oh, yes! This was one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen.

I love Ari SO MUCH. Piven was born to play him. "we at Miller-Gold may be whores, but we're not pimps."

Ari and Lloyd were the only things I loved about this episode. I'm tired of Drama & Turtle's endless quest to get laid. There's a reason those guys are single.

And what kind of doofus tosses ONE steak to TWO dogs and doesn't expect a dogfight?

yeah...i could care less about Drama and Turtle and they need to give Eric and Vince something to do too.

Ari is the only thing i'm really interested in at this point. the face off between he and Carla Gugino's character last week was hilarious. "you want me to walk you to your car, Ari? i hear it's not safe in this part of town for bitches." ha!

That was priceless, tiggy!

As was Lloyd's face-slap last night.

I definitely want more out of Vince.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

With full acknowledgement that I look through slash goggles, good *god* could E and Vince be more connected at the hip? Eric's like, "he gets separation anxiety" with no sense of irony about himself, and as it's not unusual anyway. Oh, boys. You are so co-dependent it hurts.

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

I really only watch Entourage for Ari, and I'm glad Lloyd is getting more screen time because he is awesome. I really like Carla Gugino and I hope her character gets some development. Of the core 4, I like to see the relationships among them but I don't care for all the shenanigans. Although Turtle getting sposorships for Vince's party was pretty funny, Eric telling Turtle to grow up was funnier, to me.

This was one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen.

Wasn't it? I watched it several times and I'm replaying it in my head right now. Syl talking about it later had resonance only because we had seen it, I think.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yesterday I watched "Dead Soldiers" again. Sniff. Simon gives good commentary too...not pretentious for the sake of it nor devolving into silliness. Although I still enjoyed the goofy "Deadwood" ones because Oliphant is so the anti-Bullock.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I know, isn't he? Such a goofus. And he and Ian McShane should totally take their act on the road.

Huh. I haven't checked out any of my DEADWOOD commentaries yet. I may need to rectify that.

Wrod. The writers' ones are instructive, Frank. The actors just cut up. It's fun, though. The silliest Wire one is Season Two, Domenic West and Michael K. Williams(Omar). Omar laughed his butt off about the story about how Wendell Pierce rescued DW after he found out Black Americans do not think "cracker" means "really exciting and cool." They'd talk about something else for a while, but MKW broke up laughing again...he has a great laugh, which he hardly gets to use as Omar: Last Man Standing and shit.
