Aquaman Wins the Weekend

I still do enjoy Entourage tremendously, if only because I missed the characters so much, but it's clearly not as good as it was last season (which I am watching on DVD in between Season 3 episodes).  It's even repeating scenes (Ari taking a call during couples therapy), and ripping off real movies (Almost Famous), none of which are good signs.  They should be poking more fun at the inanity of Hollywood, along with the egos and eccentricities within (much like Drama's need to hydrate during their trip to the Valley last night).

Just remember, (and again, I still LOVE the show) I said that it jumped the shark the day that Ari found out during therapy that James Cameron was directing Aquaman.  No episode will ever be better than that one.

However, having said all that, we awoke today to find an ad in Variety congratulating Vince and James Cameron on the biggest box office opening in history, along with Cameron's Lightstorm logo and everything.  Simply brilliant.

Thanks to Celebutaint for finding this.

Hello Jay! http://www.thejay.com/

That was one of the all time best lines of Season 2, as I've been using it all week ever since I re-watched that episode.

Of course, there are also these unbelievable exchanges when they first find out that James Cameron wanted to direct Aquaman:

(phone rings at therapy)
WIFE: I ask for one hour a day for his undivided attention, and I can't even have that.
ARI: You can have it if you want to live in Agora fucking Hills, and go to group therapy, but if you want a Beverly Hills mansion, and you want a country club membership, and you want 9 weeks a year at a Tuscan villa, then I'm gonna need to take a call, when it comes in at noon ON A MUTHERFUCKING WEDNESDAY!

(Ari walks out to take the call)
ARI: There better be a scud missile heading toward Beverly Hills, Eric.
ERIC: No there's a fucking iceberg, Ari.
ARI: What?
ERIC: James Cameron's directing Aquaman.
ARI: Pfff... fuck you. Where'd you hear that, Friendster?

I agree that episode about the therapy was the best!
