Basically, I feel Entourage is hitting its stride in all Ari plots. I feel this is his season of "heart," and surprisingly, his little bit of heart may be taking him a long way. Yes, it may have been crazy of him to not take the studio head job, but it could turn out to be very profitable for him buying Gary Cole's charcter's company (with all those writers!) And to think, that decision mainly came out of his desire to create a little worth for an old friend.
So, Adrian Grenier is not a good actor. But he has charm, even when acting pathetic, which he is right now. But his patheticness and lack of respect in Hollywood, I think, is a greater thrill for the viewer than his unidentifiable ascent in La La Land. Think Britney. People paid more attention to her during her troubles because, one, there is a certain fascination with a train wreck and, two, people can understand problems with divorce more than vacationing happily on some private island. Well, there is certainly a fascination with both of those aspects of fame, but there is something addicting about watching a fallen star trying to deal with life on a level that commoners must. Vince not getting respect on his job is something we all understand, and we are rooting for him, while simultaneosly wishing he suffers a little like the rest of us.
Grey's is back to giving us what we want--excitement! We are excited about Christina's new love interest and Seattle Grace's hot doc, Major Hottie, we are enthralled by Callie's and Hahn's exploration (and the involvement of McSteamy), we are giggling over the prospect of the 2 hottest people on the show, Izzy and Alex, making an opposites-attact pairing rife with plenty of strife.
And we are happy with the subplots of doctors doing well and saving lives. Why are we happy to see doctors doing well in this profession but not Vince being a easily succesful actor? Uh, can you sit comfortably putting yourself in a position of screwing up someone's life (or having your life screwed)? No, no matter how tough life can be us for us commoners, we don't really face life-and-death situations daily so that's why we want success in Seattle Grace's oprations.
Well this blog was certainly assumptive about your thoughts! Well, I can only assume, y'know. Stay tuned for pop psychology of TV shows with ME!
