Re: Entourage

This, Rescue Me and Miami Ink are the only shows that I am following right now. I love Rescue Me. Dennis Leary is hilarious on that show...brilliant casting of actors.

Re: Entourage

I'm watching a show about Tattoo artists, and I don't have and never will have tattoos. I enjoy my skin the way it is. Transparent!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

was there an episode on last night? i cant find a torrent today. :?

Re: Entourage

Yes there was definitely a show on last night. Keep on looking as it should eventually come up for download. It was a short one this week. I think it was only like 19-20 minutes. I remember the one with U2 was around 30 minutes.

Hopefully we've got more and more shows to come.

Re: Entourage

k, i finally saw it monday night. been a little drunk so i havent posted about it. anyway i got this email today with an interview with Jerry Ferrara (Turtle)

[quote]HBO Congratulations on the show and getting picked up for another season.

Jerry Oh, thank God. When I heard that, I did the same dance that Ari does in the Sundance episode. I just went crazy - it was great. It's too much fun to stop right now, it really is.

HBO So you're looking forward to going back to work for next season?

Jerry Honestly, I wish I had work tomorrow. I hate not working and I hate being off. Now that I've actually tasted steady work and seen how much fun it is, I'm dying to get back to it. We wrapped up a month and a half ago, and I've been looking at some other jobs, but there's just nothing that has really interested me yet. I'm a little spoiled now, I think.

HBO You'll get some time before heading back, though?

Jerry I'm guessing we won't have to start getting ready till the beginning of next year again. We won't stop airing till October and then you know you want to give Doug Ellin and all those other guys enough time to keep these scripts amazing as they are so. Probably next year, early next year.

HBO Tell us a little about the arc that Turtle has been living in the second season.

Jerry Well, the first season was great, but you know it's hard when you're dealing with five characters to get a lot of story equally for everybody. And this season they've just done an unbelievable job at that. And I think Turtle's really grown up a little bit. I mean he's still the jokester, horny, girl- chasing guy that he is, but he was dealing with a lot more responsibility when Eric became the manager. So I think now everyone's starting to see what Turtle actually does. He's the go-to guy. You know, you need something, he'll get it for you - whether it's legal or illegal.

HBO It seems that your character has gotten a little more story, not just screen time, but a little more back story and character development.

Jerry Oh, definitely, without a doubt. I actually think I've been on the screen less but the stuff that I'm on the screen for now has more of a purpose, which is phenomenal to have. Everybody kind of has their thing on the show, a job or at least what they do in day-to-day life. This season, for me it was big when I came through with all that food from New York. That shows you why I'm there.

HBO So how about yourself, have you started to live a little of the high living LA lifestyle yet?

Jerry Well, I wouldn't say that I'm living the Hollywood lifestyle. It's just not really my style at all. I'm kind of a homebody. I'm good with staying home and watching movies and just hanging out. But definitely it's a lot easier to get into clubs, let's just say that.

So, I have put that to good use. And we hang out together even when we're not working. There might be a few weeks in between, but I'll call some of those guys up and say let's get it going tonight, and we'll go out. It's a lot of fun. I'm not trapped in the Hollywood life though, that's definitely not my style.

HBO But you've been out there for a while now?

Jerry Oh yeah, I've been out in LA for about five years now. So I kind of know the lay of the land. I didn't like it initially but now I love it, I gotta say. It's probably because I'm working, but I love it.

HBO What's the best thing about living out there?

Jerry I gotta say being outside. Besides work, which is what I love doing, the weather is just so good out here. Literally you just wake up and it's hard to be in a bad mood. You know the sun is always shining. Everything's just a lot - I don't know - prettier out here. Girls included.

HBO You must be enjoying a few of the fringe benefits of being a working actor in LA.

Jerry Well you know what it is, it's just weird because when you're broke, you're with the same pair of sneakers for two years. But once you get a little bit of money and you start doing well, everyone sends you s*** for free.

I still can't really grasp this concept. I mean, I haven't paid for a pair of sneakers in a year and a half. I can't understand it. And I have like two hundred pairs now, so I give some to my friends. It's just unbelievable. Four years ago I was wearing the same Nikes, cleaning them up with Clorox bleach cleaner.

HBO And now you've got enough money to buy your own shoes.

Jerry Yeah. And I don't have to, that's the thing. I stole all my clothes from wardrobe and I'm good.

HBO So you feel like you live a pretty quiet life. Is there anybody out there you think really has the LA thing nailed?

Jerry I wouldn't say they have the LA thing nailed, but Kevin Connolly has been living in LA for quite some time. He's not trapped in that Hollywood lifestyle either, but Kevin just knows everybody. He literally knows everybody in LA. And he's definitely seen a lot of that stuff, I'm sure.

HBO So is he kind of the ringleader when you guys go out?

Jerry Well, he's not the ringleader, but if we're looking to go out, we're like, Kevin, where should we go? Or, what's good? He's been to every restaurant and every club. He knows LA, so he's the guy to ask.

HBO Were you surprised that you ended up liking those guys?

Jerry Before the show I was worried about it, because you never know when you're meeting someone for the first time what they're gonna be like, or if you're gonna get along. But the minute we met, we started talking and it was just on. We all had a very similar upbringing. We're all from somewhere in New York, and that's a whole different way of life than LA. So we had that in common right off the bat. And they're just such good guys, they're just real people. We have a ball when we work. So I wasn't surprised but I was relieved, let's just say.

HBO On the show, there's a lot of talk about making it, how far you'd be willing to go and if you could give it all up. Was there a point for you when you were wondering if this acting thing was going to work out, and what you'd do if not?

Jerry You know, I gotta say, and this is a truthful answer, never once did I ever think about packing my stuff up and going home. That just wasn't an option for me, because I wouldn't be satisfied until I was working. This is the only thing that I think would make me ultimately happy. I'm sure that I could do a lot of other things that I would be satisfied with. But this really gives me such a fulfillment that seems like nothing I've ever had before. I'm a huge sports fan, and I always equate everything in my life to sports. I equate working on this show to playing shortstop for the Yankees. That's how good it is for me.

HBO [LAUGHS] I'm glad that you're still staying with the New York teams at least.

Jerry Oh, absolutely. I'm not a frontrunner. I know I have my Yankees, who are a great team, though not doing that great now. And I'm a Knick fan so I get beat up around basketball season. But I go down with the ship.

HBO A lot of the other guys pointed to you and said, the thing about Jerry is, the guy you see on screen, he's always smiling, he's a great guy, he's really easy to get along with. And he's the same guy that he is when you're just hanging out. Do people expect you to be like Turtle when they meet you?

Jerry Oh, absolutely. I actually think people are a little disappointed [LAUGHS]. I mean I am very much like that guy in the sense that that I'm from New York, I have the same group of friends from when I was a kid, and if you're my good friend, there's nothing that I won't do for you. I'll do anything in the world. I'll die for you. But I'm different in that I'm not as outgoing or as outspoken as Turtle. I'm definitely way more shy than he is, especially with women. If I'm first meeting you, you'll think I'm just this shy, quiet kid. But once you get to know me, then the Turtle comes out.

HBO Do you find it hard to be an actor if you're shy?

Jerry No, because it's a whole different kind of shyness. With acting, I'm not shy because it's almost like an excuse to do these things. If I have to go hit on some girl and make a complete fool out of myself, which is something I'd never do in real life - just walk up to some girl and ask her to have sex - I'd never, ever do that in real life. Ever. But you know as an actor, doing it on a TV show, it's just entertainment. It's like a get out of jail free card. [LAUGHTER] So it's kind of liberating. I live a little vicariously through the character. But I'm definitely fifty-fifty split down the middle about how much I'm like him.

HBO Have people been coming out of the woodwork since you've been on Entourage?

Jerry Well, not really. There are some situations where people that you vaguely knew back in high school, or a few years ago, will invite you over to dinner, and I don't even know where they live. But it's not a crazy situation where they're coming out of the woodwork. Every now and then I'll hear, "I saw so-and-so the other day, he said to tell you hello and we've got to hang out." I'm like, who? Honestly I don't know who that is, I'm not even being a jerk. I really don't know who that is. [LAUGHS]

HBO Do you get back to New York very often?

Jerry I do. I was actually just there for about a month and a half and I'm probably gonna go back again in about two weeks. I don't get back as much as I would like, because you really do have to put some time in LA in order to find the good stuff to work on. But I'm always back at least three, four times a year. You know my whole family, all my friends are still back in Brooklyn. So as long as they're there, I'll be there.

HBO So you're scouting around for interesting work?

Jerry Yeah, I'm just going through the motions again. I've definitely been allotted good opportunities since this show. People are more familiar with me and with my work, so things are a little bit easier. But I really just have to love something to do it. I guess I'm kind of like the Vince character in that sense. Money really doesn't faze me. I mean it's nice, everybody wants it. But I wouldn't do some suck ass project for a ton of money. I'll probably end up doing a really good one for s*** money before that.

HBO What kinds of projects interest you now?

Jerry I'm looking for something that, after I read the script, I'm just talking about it to everybody. That's how I know I'm really into something. And it hasn't really happened yet.

HBO What about that title that comes up on your IMDB profile, Brooklyn Rules?

Jerry Yeah, that title has actually changed several times, and it may change again. That was something that actually paralleled the show. We finished up last season with Vince and all of us going back to Queens to do a movie called Queens Boulevard, back to the neighborhood where we're from. The day after we wrapped the first season of Entourage, I actually got on a plane and left for Brooklyn, then filmed a movie in my neighborhood.

HBO What was that like - the actual experience of 'going home again'?

Jerry That was a phenomenal experience. The script is unbelievable. I'm really snobby and bitchy when it comes to stuff that deals with my friends and my neighborhood, but this movie is right on. I actually saw it for the first time recently, and this movie holds up. I'm very proud of it.

HBO Was it written by a Brooklyn guy?

Jerry It's written by a Brooklyn guy and it's written by an HBO guy -Terence Winter, who writes for the Sopranos.

Terry took home two Emmys? for the Sopranos, and he's a Brooklyn guy, born and raised there. I think he still lives there. He's kind of back and forth to LA, but he knows that world well. And he wrote and amazing, amazing script.

HBO What else have you got planned for your time off from the show?

Jerry We're still actually promoting the show. I just did Carson Daly and next up is Jimmy Kimmel. Then I think I go back to New York to do Regis. I'm just gonna make the most of this man. You know, never in my life did I think I'd' get the chance to sit down with Regis and talk. [LAUGHTER] So I'm just gonna make the most out of this and just have a good time. I'll still try and find something else good to work on, but I'm not in a rush. I'm not desperate to work. I could use a little relaxation after working for six months. I want to keep delivering a good show next year, so at the least I'll be well rested for that.

HBO It seems like every actor has some far-flung vacation planned. Will you go anywhere out of the ordinary?

Jerry I'm not really a big traveling guy. I'm terrified of flying, so just my New York and LA trips put me out for days. So I'm not really gonna jump on a plane and go head to the south of France or something.

HBO Are there any perks to all the LA-NY travel, all the stuff you do to promote the show?

Jerry I'm obsessed with room service. I just think room service is the coolest thing ever. So luckily enough, when we go on some of these trips, I get to stay in a hotel and we get a little bit of cash on the room to order food and stuff like that. So it's just a good feeling to sit down on a bed in a nice hotel and just be like, I'm gonna order ice cream and pancakes and chicken fingers and just go nuts.

And I don't have to pay for it. So to me, you put me in a nice hotel, I'm happy. I just love the whole process of hotels and room service. You just feel like you're being taken care of. Who doesn't want that?

HBO Well it will be real interesting to see where the show takes you next. And it seems like with time, the interest in the show is getting beyond some of the Hollywood stuff and has become a little bit more about the characters.

Jerry Yeah, I think that's starting to happen. The first season everybody was obsessed with Mark Wahlberg's involvement - is he gonna be in the show, is he gonna direct episodes, stuff like that. And rightfully so - the kid's a gigantic movie star. And people still want to talk to Mark - they go nuts for that guy. But we've kind of grown up a little bit, and we got our own personality now. So people are a little more interested in the show itself, and that's all you hope for. That's what Mark's hoping for too.[/quote]

nice we got untill october... then another season 8)

Re: Entourage

knowing hbo, a new season probably won't air for like 2 years.

last night's episode was incredible. only 2 more shows to go on this season.

Re: Entourage

Turtle finally got himself a career. And Vinnie and E are fucking with Ari really hard. Too bad there is only two episodes left.

I hope the last episode is an hour long one, That way they can take their time to finish this years story.

oh yeahhh! eric owned ari at the end of that episode. i cant wait to see his reaction this sunday. can you picture someone else trying to play the super agent part, other than jeremy piven? he is hilarious man. i laugh at him more than anyone else on that show. although i gotta say it is ironic for kevin dillon to play a barely working actor, when truthfully he's been making movies hella longer than the other lads. he was in platoon ffs. :RockOn: even the guys on espn talk about this show. hbo has a mega hit on their hands.

Re: Entourage

I am totally with you on this one bro. Unfortunately they never really start the next episode where the last one left off.

Re: Entourage

See. I told ya they never start an episode where the old one left off. I would've loved to see Ari's face when he got up to where he was going.

Last night's episode really makes me wanna get Sunday here right now so I can finish up the season. I just can't believe they haven't made the last two hour long shows. Jib, I'm not saying anything in case you haven't seen it yet bro.

i saw it last night (monday) great episode. cant believe Ari got canned. thats a good twist in the plot imo. but there's no way he's leaving the show. he's 50% of the show imo. cant wait for these last couple ep's. 8)

Re: Entourage

I don't think he got canned. I think he forced himself to leave. If you really look into it, his boss wasn't about to fire him until he found out about his "TREASON". But then Ari just left instead of fighting it.

I really dig the way the show ended. I could never see a guy who would be like Ari just give up.

AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Sunday WHERE ARE YOU????????????????

[size=7]LLOYD!!!!!!!!!!![/size]

what was the treason anyway? i missed something. i know he was setting a secret meeting, but what was the meeting supposed to be about? maybe i wasnt baked enough.

Re: Entourage

The meeting was supposed to be about Ari starting his own agency. Then that fuckhead that is Drama's agent turned him in. Other than that I'm just as lost as you are on this one bro. I could still never really figure out why Ari had such a problem with his boss. I guess it had something to do with the fact that his boss stole a lot o clients from Ari in the "so-called" old days.

I feel like Seinfeld when they were talking about that stupid Melrose Place.

"oh that michael I hate him, he is just so smug."

cant believe the finale is this sunday already. i friggin love this show, and am sad to have to wait for another season.

and whats up with NOTHING being said about ari getting Owned! last week? that was a proper burn IMO. worthy of retaliation.

anyway, i'll be saucing my loins til i get home from work sunday night.

Re: Entourage

Yeah I'm excited about it too.

I'm a gonna watch it, and then I'm a gonna watch it again...and again...and again.

Re: Entourage

"if i was 25 and liked cock, we'd have something..."

ari is fucking classic. there is no way this show continues without him. can't believe the season is over already. they need to get the third season out as quickly as possible.

Re: Entourage

Yeah, i think next season should be a full 21 episodes. That way we really get to get in depth with the characters.

got milf?

Re: Entourage

The dialogues are just so over-worked I don't believe anyone could possibly pull out these expressions in real life out of the blue like that.

But yeah sunday is coming fast can't wait to see how this ends!

( I'll have ot wait till monday for my precious BT dl )

Re: Entourage

It's gonna be a bittersweet day when that season is over. I wonder if they will do a whole thing of showing all the episodes at one time like they have been doing for every four episodes so far. Cause I could still use a really good copy of the first 4 again. I acidentally deleted the info on my dvd which had those first 4.

Re: Entourage

thanks for that interview Jib :D

sorry for joining this one so late fellas, but all in all season 2 has been far better than 1 in my opinion. i can't wait to see how this season ends! only eight hours til its on!

Re: Entourage

7:37 PM on the east side. Only a little over 2 hours to go. 10PM can't get here soon enough. But Next Friday sure can.

Off your ass and on your feet, ain't no time to, beat your meat!!!

Re: Entourage

Jib, did you catch it yet. I wanna talk about it but I don't wanna ruin it for you. And the other folks who BT it every week.

Re: Entourage

i watched the last episode last night and it was great :D

i won't ruin it for anyone by talking about the details

yep. saw it tonight after work. was good as usual, but whats up with the ending? there was no hook. maybe there's gonna be more!?

just saw it ... it wasn't necesarily a hook ending ..but a feel good one... they should've fired mandy ..that bitch!

it ended on a good note. i'm happy. it went from disasterous to koshir in 30 minutes. i kind of felt that the way the story was headed, next season is going to focus more on eric and his career as being a manager/agent.

Re: Entourage

I'm with remoh on this one. They should have fired mandy. But what can you do. Since they never really showed the making of Queens Blvd, they probably won't show the making of this one for next year. Which is good because we won't have mandy moore on there anymore. YEAH!!!

I really thought that this years ending was going to become like last years. And it pretty much is. Not really a whole lot of a suprise. Who in the world would turn down a Cameron Flick. Almost guarantee a smash hit with it.

Ok that was the end of this years show. Now I need to hook myself up with the first season, so I don't go nuts trying to watch these 14 episodes all the time.

Re: Entourage

"ari, what's in the gym bag"

"a kilo of blow. what's up with all the fucking questions..."

freakin hilarious. had me dying. best show on tv. too bad it won't be back for a while since hbo always takes forever to get the next season on.

Re: Entourage

Ending episode was good. Overall the Season was great though.

Read an interesting article in the NY Times(sorry, no link) over the weekend how agents described how frightfully real Ari's experiences over the last couple of episodes were.

The Entourage writers still have a lot to work with for next season. Hopefully, the show'll get even better next year.

she can stay on if she gets naked. would that be ok?

will never happen. her Pop agents in real life wont allow it. isnt she only 17 or something?

Re: Entourage

^^^ I don't think it matters. There are a TON of other girls that look ten times better than her.

I think she is 18 now.

is that it? dirty ho... but a legal dirty ho. :P

18 year old tits are sooo underdeveloped i dont wanna look at them anyway.

fuck im banging a 19 y/o.. she has little baby tites!!

but yes good season..now we have to wait another fucking year..

next season probable happenings

turtle makes it big with saigon eric gets married drama gets famous again by doing a reality show eric and ari become partners and get rich hopefully we'll see a lot more T &A next season

i dont see Ari & Eric teaming up. they make too good of a show battling back and forth. the never ending insults crack me up. and you all remember how much i liked crack. Drama is perfect for the surreal life. maybe they can tie him into that. for real. the rest of your outlook seems spot on. wanna bet? :P
