Last night's Entourage ("I Wanna Be Sedated") was my favorite of the season (so far.) The combination of insider scenes and music moments played right to my weaknesses (and I have a few, I'm afraid.) Lily Allen, Gnarls Barkley and to top it off, The Ramones.First, Turtle's client Saigon goes missing on his major label signing day. So he and Drama make like the Hardy Boys and track him down (to the Hollywood Standard hotel.) There Saigon confesses that his old agent blew back into town and is taking him back as a client. When Drama reminds the new agent (Hassan Johnson, from HBO's The Wire) that Turtle has a signed contract from Siagon, he makes like Suge Night and has Drama dangling from the hotel balcony like Vanilla Ice. When Turtle capilates his contract for $40K, Drama is spared (Drama - "You shoulda held out, bro... I think I could've made it into the pool.")
Other storyline had E trapped at the estate of an old producer (played by the great Martin Landau,) after a malevolent set-up by Ari. The producer Bob Ryan (a funny send-up of has-been Robert Evans,) hasn't had a project in a long time, and is desparate to be 'back in the game.' When E and Ryan discover a mutual appreciation for The Ramones, a movie project is born, and Vince is on board for a biopic as the recently deceased Joey (a great movie idea that someone should greenlight immediately.) Cue credits to the tune of "Blitzkrieg Bop."
The surprising music moment was hearing Lily Allen's "Knock 'em Out" , while Vince is chasing a bride-to-be through a hotel room. Allen just signed with Capitol here in the states, and while her US release date is early next year, and she's playing three dates in the states in October (LA, SF and NYC... no Seattle!) And, just to add to it, for the second week in the row, there was some Gnarls Barkley ("The Last Time") to enjoy.More:
