Well, yes, I'm just saying that the deliberate unsettlingness does not support my nothing-changes hypothesis. Unless everything is always unsettling, which it sort of is, so, I don't know.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Dudes, that was a rocking episode of Entourage. I really enjoyed that. Billy Walsh is such a crazy motherfucker, and I wish E hadn't been so passive, but he made up for it when he called Billy on his bullshit.
And I can't wait to see what Ari says about a film where his prettyboy crown jewel spends two hours looking overweight and mustachioed on America's screens.

I remarked elsewhere that Vinnie looked like he'd wandered out of an old Beastie Boys video.

Hee! That's very true. I bet Adrien had a kick-ass time with that. And the boys had a hell of a time teasing him for it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've watched the first two episodes of John from Cincinnati and I can't decide if I like it or not. Some of the acting is awkward in a David Mamet sort of way (John, Ed O'Neil's character, the new motel owner), but I'm intrigued enough by the where-the-hell-is-this-going-to-go-ishness of the premise that I think I'll stick with it for a while. Plus, I read co-creator's Kem Nunn's novel "Tapping the Source" around 20 years ago and really liked it.

I've got those two backed up on my DVR, but I hope to get to them this week so they don't pile up (like my RICHES have).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
For yet another HBO series, I got about halfway through the first episode of John from Cincinnati, and I couldn't figure out why I was supposed to like any of the characters, and then I gave up on it.

As a side note, Ed O'Neil is in fact a Mamet alum, from The Spanish Prisoner, if nothing else.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I haven't seen any episodes yet, but David Milch has a whole lot of goodwill from me he'd have to burn off.
