Entourage movie comes out this weekend...I loved the TV show but I can't see the movie being anything but terrible. Rottentomatoes has it at 32% too...

The tv show was a lot of fun early on, but it got real stale towards the end. Once something gets stale, it's hard to stop the mold from accumulating, so I'm not optimistic. Good to see Turtle lost weight - but that was part of his charm.

Re-watching it on HBO on Demand. The first four seasons were top notch, becomes pretty forgettable after that.

Yeah that's how I feel as well. Basically after they decided to sink Medellin in the show, the show itself sunk.

But I'm probably gonna shell out the money and watch the movie sometime this weekend. I mean most of those actors haven't really gotten much work since the show ended, they could use the money. :lol:

I keep wondering why they don't bring back Entourage, maybe for an 8 episode arc. Something to do while they are in between shows. All they have is Game of Thrones and True Detective now, and those shows happen in the Spring and Summer.

Meh...I think they ended the show on a good enough note, and it needed to end.

Plus HBO does have other shows. Veep and Sillicon Valley are both really good, as is Last Week Tonight. And that new show Ballers with The Rock looks like the black version of Entourage with athletes instead of actors.

I have not used the metro in a long time but the last time I did I kind of got the feeling the working adults on the train were just getting fed up with teenagers and their antics.

Wow, that's surprising. I'm a fan of Boston Market. Half a chicken, cream spinach, and mashed potatoes. That is good stuff.

Happy -- I'll be in LA on business during part of the Vegas Summer League next month.

I'm gonna take a couple of days vacation, make the drive from LA to Vegas, and drop in to watch some hoops.

:nod:

Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

If you only knew how that food got made, you'd be a different kind of amazed.

Meh...just about all fast food type places are junk. But I exercise and keep myself in great shape, so I can eat whatever as long as it tastes good.

Everybody is in great shape in their 20s.
Then they get married and children come along.
This causes many of them to throw in the towel on their appearance.

Sigh. Here I am in Morocco, on a Saturday. Working.

Uuuuuuugh, this sux. The worst part is it's a really nice day and it would be really fun to go outside and walk around. But nope.

Solution = buy a system when you arrive. List it on eBay as soon as you buy it for 50 dollars less than US market price. Voila, you just rented a system for 50-75 dollars (maybe more if the locals mark it up substantially).

In a shady location...don't want to hit the local shopping venues due to safety? Give the concierge 50 dollars and have them arrange delivery, or charge it to the room (just ask for the receipt).

I do it all the time, nothing better than an RPG to calm the mind. Of course you need a nice hotel with HDMI/Wifi.
