Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. Without a core, there is no layer. This concept applies to onions as well as Vince’s acting (according to Verner).
2. Talking just gets one into trouble. This applies both to Turtle’s sharing secrets about Jamie-Lynn Sigler with the guys, and Vince’s continuing discussions about his acting with Verner.
3. Jamie-Lynn’s therapist says that Jamie is attracted to losers. This might explain her booty call to Turtle at three in the morning and subsequent relationship development.

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. When encountering difficulty on a movie set (or in life), don’t waste your energy on minor gripes and grudges. Such is Vince’s new philosophy toward Verner, though it may not last long.
2. All women defend each other blindly and automatically. Such is Ari’s reaction to Barb’s (a.k.a. the “Wicked Witch of the East Wing”) continued resistance to bringing Andrew Klein into the agency.
3. You need to persuade a woman by explaining things to her. And saying “please.” Such is Ari’s daughter’s advice to her father.

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. Vince hasn’t been on a movie set in over a year (longer, if you’re thinking in terms of episodes), and his work on Smoke Jumpers may be the most important job of his career.
2. If you’re taking lunch with a “loser lit agent,” a television writing executive who works in Encino, of all places, wear a cheaper watch to make the exec feel better about himself.
3. Jason Patric isn’t into sequels or water (hence, his rejection of the title role in Aquaman II.)

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. Vince subconsciously favors Turtle, as perhaps do the writers of this episode.
2. If you only have one first class seat among the four of you and can’t decide who should get it, ask an impartial judge, like the cabbie who’s taking you to the airport.
3. Variety is only one step above US Weekly.

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. In Hollywood, it’s perfectly reasonable to conduct business at a funeral, particularly if that business involves moving Ari “from the ground floor to the penthouse” of the departed’s studio.
2. Drama’s recent meltdown on The View is not doing him any favors with European models. Hey, is Drama not the one on the network television show? Some respect, please.
3. There are maybe two clients that Ari really cares about. One of them is Vincent Chase. The other remains unnamed—could this be a bid for an HBO spinoff series?

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. When Dom calls Vince out of the blue to let his childhood friend know that he is on TV in an O.J.-style L.A. freeway chase, that may be enough for E to cancel a meeting.
2. At a certain age, according to Ari, the ability to whack anything is impressive.
3. When golfing with potentially antagonistic, manipulative agents like Ari Gold, who is willing to do anything for his client’s career, it’s best to bring a pro golfer as a back-up.

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. A good way of postponing depression is to do a guest spot on The View.
2. There is nothing better for a “general meeting” than having something to say, especially if it involves a bid for your client.
3. Only Richard Simmons can get away with wearing a tank top and shorts on The View. (But what the hell was Whoopi wearing?)
4. When you’re an upcoming agent, always remember: sell the script and take care of your writers.
5. Do not cry on The View. Unless you want to appeal to women and gay men in droves.

Top 10 Things I Learned from Entourage This Week

1. A ho + a floozy = a hoozie. And hoozies are most likely French.
2. Mrs. Ari doesn’t always mind when Ari acts like a 25-year-old, or even an 18-year-old, and if it takes a new red Ferrari to get him there, well, that’s why we have anniversary presents, isn’t it?
3. If you are going bankrupt, like Vinnie, you have three options:
A. Reduce your expenses, mainly by cutting off the rest of the gang.
B. File for bankruptcy

Top 10 Things I learned from Entourage this week:

1) Vinnie finally decided to work for his living.
2) Ari considers Indie films on par the Holocaust and Medellin on par with Chernobyl.
3) Ari’s real name should be Drama. (see above)
4) Drama’s real name should be crazy. (see below)
5) When Frenchie doesn’t answer the phone, Drama is a complete jealous lunatic. The end result – we don’t have to endure those ridiculous chirping sounds anymore.
