"Entourage" plus Las Vegas requires more than just one day of blog material. So, here we go with my famous "Random Thoughts" blog:
* Althought it was nice to see Seth Green virtually reprise his role as a jerk from "Can't Hardly Wait," if I ever come across him in real life, there's going to be a misunderstanding. I can't allow such disrespectful things toward my Sloan to go unchecked.
* I'm wondering if skateboarder Chad Muska had advance knowledge of this past episode. In case you didn't hear, Kevin Connolly (real-life E) clocked Muska in Hyde, a Hollywood hotspot, after Muska, the guest DJ that night, made a disparaging remark about real-life girlfriend Nicky Hilton. Interesting sidenote No. 1: Connolly has some boxing background in his family. Interesting sidenote No. 2: Connolly made his movie debut as Chickie, the bully who beat up little Stallone in "Rocky V." Don't mess with Connolly. The fella can throw hands.
* Gotta love Ari Gold cursing at everyone in sight at the blackjack table. I feel your pain, Ari. I've been there.
* As a former DJ and lifelong appreciator the blending of music and movies/television, I thoroughly enjoyed the use of "Luchini" by Camp Lo when they boys hit the casino floor.
* The $5 bet on red at the roulette table to start the weekend is a nice tradition. I may have to include that in my repertoire, somewhere in between the playing of "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones immediately upon landing and "That's Life" by Frank Sinatra en route to the airport.
* I hope Knicks coach/president/general manager Isiah Thomas makes more crazy trades soon. I want to see how many ill-advised trades can be reflected in Knicks jerseys worn by Turtle. (Steve Francis made the cut this episode.)
* This was the first time "Entourage" went on location outside of the Southern California area. This gives hope to my homecoming episode idea for Season 4.

I love Entourage! Haven't missed an episode. It's the best show on TV.
But I cant help thinking how much better it could be if it was a 1 hour long show....???
The season so far has been average at best. The second season was awesome which in turn ruined it for the third season. Too high of expectations. This weeks episode was pretty cool but it could have been a whole lote better and longer. The length of these episode's are a joke. Barely 23 minutes of action. When they say an episode is 25 minute's that means the actual action and the opening and closing credits. Sorry but 23 minute's sucks. I think they tick off fans by having them so short. An extra five minute's of action would go a long way in kepping fans happy.
I agree on the length. The other 'good' shows are HBO are an hour long (probably 40 some minutes of action) and this show should have the same respect. It just seems it would flow better in a longer format. Its almost like watching a trailer every week. I keep checking the paper to see when the Entourage movie is coming out :)
No thoughts on the awkward homosexual moment with Drama and the massuer? Funny stuff I tell ya...
