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.
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.
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.
Dan Dougherty (W. Earl Brown) was also a staff writer on the show. Huh.
Yeah, he was a great writer, egoless enough to write episodes where Dan only had perfunctory appearances.
And this talk of good commentary means I need to go back and rerent all of what I've watched so far, to catch the commentary tracks.
I just caught up with the last two Sopranos episodes. It really does have an elegiac feeling, and the hints of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are nicely handled.
