Do The Other Best Actor Nominees Hate Alec Baldwin Or What?

Entourage: Vincent Chase Is An Asshole Plus Michael Phelphs's Stupid Cameo

Vincent Chase is an asshole. Yes. Duh. But last night's season finale provided an unmitigated look at what a shithead this guy is. First, there's the historical precedent of being such an asshole.

Sorry, Entourage, But You're Not Extras

We've already addressed some of Entourage's main problems.

Medellin Finally Gets A Movie Poster

I'm sure that the mildly amusing resemblance that this poster for Steven Soderbergh's biopic Che has to the imaginary failed Pablo Escobar biopic Medellin in Entourage is just that. A cute instance of life imitating art but not really. You... CONTINUE READING MEDELLIN FINALLY GETS A MOVIE POSTER»

Entourage Is Actually Just Getting Despicable

The only thing that was keeping Entourage watchable at this point was its consistently bubbly no-stakes jacuzzi of a plot (i.e. no plot) that has been its hallmark since season 1. Get in, the water's fine! Even if you consider... CONTINUE READING ENTOURAGE IS ACTUALLY JUST GETTING DESPICABLE»
