So, I got roped into purchasing tickets and walking into a movie theater that happened to be showing "The Devil Wears Prada" on Saturday night.
Not my first choice, but I'll try anything once. Plus, the smart man does what she says, even if the she is just a good friend having a bad day.
I knew nothing about this movie other than it was a popular novel first, has chick flick written all over it and that I was about to watch it.
Within the first minute or so, who pops up on the screen? Adrian Grenier.
"Oh [s-bomb], that's my boy Vinny Chase!" I said loud enough for the gaggle of caddy chicks to my right to shoot me one of those "shhhhh!" looks.
Suddenly, this movie got a little better. I've seen 28 episodes of a great TV show talking about this guy's movie acting abilities and here was a chance to watch it happen.
About 20 minutes into the movie, I thought to myself, "How cool would it be if Vinny Chase's movies from 'Entourage' were actually real movies?"
To this point, 2.5 seasons into the show, all we've seen of Chase's on-air talents is one scene in a looping stage from "Queens Boulevard," a commercial for the Japanese equivalent Red Bull and a dive off the end of a pier in "Aquaman."
No, seriously, how awesome would it be if "Queens Boulevard" became a real movie? Or "Head On." Or "Aquaman." I may be a lunatic experiencing a temporary break from reality with this thought, but I know I'd see you all waiting in line for tickets on opening weekend. Don't even try to front. You know I'm right.
Think of the ultimate power play that would be. A fictional movie created on a cable sitcom about Hollywood turns into a real movie. That's explosive. Send me some ideas and I'll start working on the script.
P.S. "The Devil Wears Prada" was actually a pretty funny movie. Watch the trailer | Read the review

My friends and I *ALL* have talked about how amazing it would be to see AG star in a big screen "Queens Boulevard" - I know a few ladies who would be sleeping outside on opening night for tickets! :-)
Visit my site www.YoungBreezy.com If you are serious I would love to write it with you. I love the show and I think that would be an fantastic idea but the script has to be fucking amazing
if Queens Boulevard actually became a movie it would be a smash hit almost immetaidly entourage is a great tv show and if it became a real movie it would be number one on my list of movies to see. great idea and i love your wesitee
