imho, the scene with Carlos and Cuban was the worst I've seen in this whole series.
Where do they come up with this stuff.
Thank you. This character Carlos is a fucking moron. He is offered 5 million by a billionaire, and says it has to be on his terms or nobody's terms.
Then as soon as the billionaire leaves, he admits that it's actually on his brother's terms since he owns more shares. Why on earth would he try to play hardball with Cuban when he has no bargaining leverage whatsoever? And why is he blaming Turtle for losing the company when he wasn't the one who insisted that a company he doesn't own be on his terms and his terms alone? If Carlos doesn't act like such a jackass (about a company he doesn't control despite pretending that he does), he gets his $5M and keeps his minority shares in the company.
That was either sloppy writing or they intended for his character to appear dumber than Turtle. I did LOL when Cubez dropped an f-bomb at the end, that kind of saved the scene.
Also, WTF were Ethan Suplee and Brian Urlacher doing in that one scene? That was the dumbest scene in Entourage history I think. So much didn't make sense. Why is Brian Urlacher sitting at a bar with Turtle, and why is Ethan Suplee bartending them? The writing in that scene was cringe-worthy too....
Urlacher: If you're lying to me, I'm gonna kill you, and then I'll kill Cuban.
Suplee/bartender: You don't want that Turtle.
.....scene
That is the only line Suplee gets. My question is, why did he even agree to do that? Is his career that bad right now where he's taking one-line spots on Entourage? Dude has been in dozens of movies and shows and he's playing a bartender in a scene with Jerry Ferrara and Brian Ulacher? And his one line is a throwaway after overhearing Urlacher threaten to kill Mark Cuban?
Why did Ethan Suplee agree to do that scene, and how did that terrible dialogue get past a writers' meeting?
Also, Amanda Daniels giving her "big reveal" speech to Ari in the restaurant was so fucking predictable and has already been done two other times. Were we supposed to be like "ZOMG THOSE GUYS ARE WITH THE NFL!"?
Carla Gugino is fucking hot but the way that character is written she is so fucking annoying. She always has these "reveal the twist" speeches, and they are always the same fucking tone and dialogue structure.
Remember when Vinny lost out on a movie because Ari and Nick Rubenstein pissed that guy off at Temple on a Jewish holiday? She pretty much delivered the exact same "Here is why I was right the whole time" speech with the same inflection in her voice at the end of that episode. There's two or three other times when they've used her character in this way as well. Just another example of all the plot devices and dialogue constructs that get recycled on this show.
Show is fucking repetitive and turrible now.
One last thing- I get that Lloyd is a bit more close with his clients than most agents so he'll be a bit more concerned, but come on, you're a big time Hollywood agent, act like you've seen an actor do drugs before. Sure it was a big bag of coke, but come the fuck on you work in Hollywood, IRL if an agent saw a big bag of coke at an actor's house he'd probably just shrug and keep moving.
I love Lloyd, I really do, but it's so unrealistic for him to be the one to fully out Vince (I say fully because there's a difference between E thinking he did a little blow at the party and Vinny having a mountain-sized stash of booger sugar). That's not his place and no agent would overstep those boundaries IRL. Now, they're gonna have some Vince-tervention next week because Johnny's gay agent snitched on him to the whole crew.
How many actors get their coke habit blown up by their brother's gay agent?
