Entourage

[Alianne]

Just wondering if anyone else is watching Entourage on HBO....

It's quickly becoming my favorite 'must see' thing on tv.

It's on a Season Pass with the "Keep Until I Delete" setting on my TiVo. Jeremy Piven is a golden god! :)

The official show website is vaguely interesting. It's at http://lhiob.com/.

(LHIOB is for "Let's Hug It Out, Bitch". :))

They showed some people who appeared to be cosplayers, but it's uncertain if they were con attendees who were recruited to be extras or if they were union extras hired for the episode. They kind of overemphasized the costumed attendee aspect of ComicCon -- yeah, they're certainly *there*, but usually not clustered in big groups as portrayed in the episode.

It was kind of funny -- the DemiGod didn't mention to me until *afterwards* that he saw the Entourage shooting crews on the con floor (this was about my 5th ComicCon and his first) and didn't tell me. (waaah) He also saw Natalie Portman being escorted from her 'V for Vendetta' panel, but I digress....

I actually caught an error in the episode -- which only certain comic geeks would have caught -- there's a scene where Vince is giving an interview to an online movie review site owner (the main plotline in the show is that Vince has been cast to play Aquaman in a movie to be directed by James Cameron, with Mandy Moore as his co-star). Prior to the interview, his PR person has given him a dossier to bring him up to speed on the character and the comic book's history...so, the online guy asks him if he's always been an Aquaman fan. Vince replies that he has been, but it wasn't until [Ramona] Fradon became the artist that he really began to appreciate the character (saying something along the lines of thinking it '..took a woman's touch to bring out the sensitivity of the character' to him. That's all well and good -- Fradon is a female -- but she was the artist in the mid-50's to early 60's -- that's well before Vince was ever born (IIRC, he's supposed to be somewhere between 27-29 years old). (If he'd said something like 'I caught Fradon's work in reprints or in old back issues', then it would have made sense.

*And* the online guy -- who's supposed to be a huge comic book geek himself, didn't catch it.

Like I said, it's an error only certain geeks would have caught. :)

Since ComicCon only ended about 2 weeks ago, I'm a little surprised this episode aired so soon -- I wasn't expecting it for a few weeks, given post-production and whatnot -- especially since they also covered a live U2 concert in the same episode.
