Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

By Mark La Monica

After the second episode of Season 4, I wrote about Ari Gold, the father. I asked readers their thoughts about his actions as a parent.

While the incoming emails didn't exactly force the network that hosts my email to shut down (what did I expect, really? I mean, a blog about "Entourage" isn't exactly the same as Parents & Children Magazine), I'd like to share two of the more enjoyable emails.

Blog reader Lisa T summed it up perfectly, I think:

Dear Mark,

Anything less than taking a bullet for one’s child is unacceptable.

Lisa

Well said, Lisa.

Blog reader Phil M. wrote:

although i am not a parent, i would love to show a little ari in myself when i am - he shows everything a parent needs - love (at times) - ruthlessness - quick thinking - intelligence - and most of all hes like a chamelieon (didnt spell it right) because somehow in any situation ari makes himself look like the hero - quote from last episode "Im gonna save the day again honey" i mean if the guy wasnt a superhero- why would he have a batphone? - hahah anyway i believe ari is a wonderful father - and Mrs. Ari is smokin hot.

Right on all counts, Phil.

Anyway, I got some inside information that says in an upcoming episode, Ari combines his two loves: Slimy, smarmy agency underhandedness and family life. So, we can always revisit the parenting angle again later on.

By Mark La Monica

In real life, Mrs. Ari is known as Perrey Reeves. In "Entourage" life, Mrs. Ari is known only as Mrs. Ari.

When he's not calling her "the wife," even Ari Gold calls her Mrs. Ari.

But what is her first name on the show? We have no clue. Same thing with Turtle.

This week, we ask our loyal and brand new "Entourage, the blog" readers to vote on a first name for Mrs. Ari. In a few weeks, we'll do the same with Turtle.

In the meantime, we'll send the final results to Doug Ellin's people. No guarantees he or they will read it, but we'll send the email anyway. You never know in this crazy world what can happen.

To me, Mrs. Ari strikes me as a Melissa. Maybe a Janet. Perhaps even a Julie or an Allison. Emily is an option, too. How about Barbara? Toni? Melinda? Jenn? Stephanie? Jamie? Roni?

So many options. Here's your chance to vote for Mrs. Ari's first name. You've got until midnight Tuesday July 3 to vote. We'll post the results at noon on July 4, just before we head out to the beach and barbecues.

If you think there's a better name, use the comments link for write-in candidates.

July 3 Note: Poll is now closed. Winner will be announced at noon July 4.

Walken needed more cowbell. La Monica needs more Billy Walsh.

It's a fair request. The "Entourage" creators and writers haven't done much with his character in the past, so there's plenty there to develop. There's a reason they brought him back in Seasons 3 and 4.

That reason is because he's hilarious. At a time when the Drama comedy schtick is slowly becoming stagnant (it's sad to admit that), Billy Walsh is that new kid in school with the weird accent. You can't help but want to talk to him just to hear him speak.

Walsh's disdain for E is kinda funny. Even funnier is his commitment to that hatred every episode he's in. Gotta admire that type of dedication. And as he continues to go mad with the post-production work on "Medellin," Walsh maintains that anger toward "Suit."

I had decided to dress as Spanish-speaking army man Johnny Drama for Halloween this year. Then, Walsh imported a streetwalker from Colombia. Pure brilliance, for the character, that is. And that solidified me growing my hair out by October 31 so I can go as Billy Walsh. (Think about it: It's a license to curse and disrespect anyone in your way. Ah ha!)

We can all sympathize with Walsh right now, which makes his character that much more appealing. Who among us hasn't had a monster project at work or in school to complete quickly and felt the pressure coming from all sides? It's a fact of life.

Heck, my freshman year in college, I had five finals in six days. By the fourth day, I could have sworn Wicket the Ewok from "Return of the Jedi" was sitting next to me in the library as I studied.

In keeping with the study metaphor, let's recap briefly:

More Billy Walsh!

Of course, there's that little matter of Wally Balls, just in case you needed more ammunition to love Billy Walsh.

Thursday: Pick Mrs. Ari's first name
Friday: Ari Gold Parenting 101

By Mark La Monica

I have not yet experienced the joy of fatherhood, which is more the fault of the ladies who I talk to not wanting to talk to me. Such is life. Their loss.

However, I was thoroughly intrigued by the quagmire Ari Gold found himself in for this episode. He and Mrs. Ari (who is dangerously gorgeous, by the way) were trying to get their son, Jonah, into Briar Country Day School.

The lengths at which Ari went to to pull some strings were lengthy, from blackmailing his dentist buddy by mentioning his cumare to spitting off his monetary contributions to the headmaster of the school and offering to give more.

I imagine all the fathers and mothers out there reading this right now are saying to themselves, "That's exactly what I would have done."

I, too, am saying that although I don't have the luxury of looking at a photo of my son in a Little League uniform while saying that. Yet, I want to believe I would do exactly what Ari Gold did, which was whatever's necessary for my children. (However, I can confirm I would also have pulled my other child out of that same school. That's just good business.)

My question here is for all the parents out there. How far would you go for your children?

E-mail me your comments at mark.lamonica@newsday.com and this Friday, we'll post your responses.

OK, so maybe parenting is slightly unexpected for this space, but that's the beauty of this episode: Character development. The Turtle-Drama party planning isn't new. Funny, but not new. The storylines with Mr. and Mrs. Ari are new. And good.

Here's a brief parental history on "Entourage:"
- Mama Chase, terrified of flying, got on a plane to L.A. for the "Aquaman" premiere in Season 3.
- Ari doted on his daughter at her bat mitzvah in Season 2.
- Terrance offered a job to his daughter's boyfriend, E, in Season 2.
- Turtle's mom wore an adidas jumpsuit on the tarmac in Season 3.

(OK, that last one had nothing to do with the theme of this column, but it's still funny a year later.)

Coming this week
Tuesday: We need more Billy Walsh
Thursday: Pick Mrs. Ari's first name
Friday: Your parental responses

Now that Ari and Vince are back together, the show has regained its proper continuity. It also has Ari Gold back as Ari Gold, with brilliant one-liners and brutal treatment of other people.

Ari took home the Best Printable Line this week, his first since Episode 8 of Season 3. (That's a 13-week absence for those counting). He earned it early with his "It's the 'Gigli' effect," but that's not what won the BPL. Although, comparing Vincent Chase to Ben Lopez, er, Garner, er, Affleck is hilarious in its own right.

Rather, Ari Gold wears the BPL crown for his work in the meeting at Briar Country Day School. He and Mrs. Ari were talking with a woman who suggested their son, Jonah, wouldn't get accepted into the school because he hit another kid with a ruler who supposedly stole his Power Ranger.

"I teach my son never to let people to just take things from him," Ari said. "It's my Israeli blood."

Stunning work.

Billy Walsh brings home a street walker from Colombia.

I'm not sure anything else needs to be written to explain why that gets this week's Writer Props.

A moment with Rhys Coiro, aka Billy Walsh, aka Wally Balls. He might be as crazy in real life as he is on screen.

We only had time for one question. We asked two.

We're not quite sure why the Karate Kid was at the New York premiere of "Entourage." Then again, who cares why. What matters is he was there and we wouldn't let him walk by without saying hi. (P.S. Props to Lindsey for hooking that up.)

He's Johnny Drama, but for a few moments, we let him be Kevin Dillon.

Kevin Connolly, friend of the blog, was kind enough to indulge us and be interviewed in character. Here's the full clip.

By Mark La Monica

For a fella, everything in life comes down to a girl. Always.

What we wear. What we say. What we do. It's always about the girl. Either we're trying to get the girl, or we're trying to keep the girl.

It's not a bad thing, except when that quest leads us to interrogate an entire film crew like Billy Walsh did. (Early running for Joshie consideration as Best Scene, by the way).

Think about the things in your world right now. How many of them can you truly say is for or about you? That shirt you just bought, yeah, you bought it to look good for the ladies at the club. That painting, guy, c'mon. We all know why you ponied up the cash. And we all know why you learned how to cook.

Now think about this: Despite what George Lucas says, the entire Star Wars saga boiled down to a girl. That's right. If Anakin Skywalker didn't possess such powerful feelings of love toward Padme, the force would never have been disturbed.

Ninety percent of the music you listen to is about relationships. Some dude on a quest for the love of a girl.

So, when Billy Walsh struggled to write the ending to "Medellin" and subsequently became even crazier than normal in the Season 4 premiere of "Entourage," we all felt his pain. We've all been there, pining away for a girl. It stings even more when she's pining for anyone or anything but you.

The romantics among us chase this notion that a woman's love gives a man his soul and lifts his spirits to unimaginable heights. It's a noble cause, one definitely worth chasing.

When a man works and lives in the presence of his muse, he can do anything. When he loses that muse, his powerful inspiration for life, he crumbles. Remember when Mandy Moore crushed Vince for a second time?

For a fella, everything in life comes down to a girl. Always.

By Mark La Monica

Boom!

That's how you open up a brand new season of "Entourage."

To quote Jimmy Conway (Robert DeNiro) in the "Goodfellas" scene where Henry Hill pays Paulie his tribute, "It's gonna be a good summer."

After an up-and-down Season 3.5, the boys came back strong and full of original stuff. Season 3.5 dragged a bit. It felt a little dated, since the episodes were shot more than a year before they aired.

Not so anymore. Billy Walsh had an expanded role. And in talking with Rhys Coiro (the actor who plays Billy Walsh) last week at the New York premiere, that's something we can expect in Season 4. More Billy Walsh! Seriously, don't we all need a little more Billy Walsh in our lives.

That character is turning into a gem. I fully expect every one of my readers to morph into Billy Walsh this week at work. When your boss asks you where that report is or why you didn't do something yet, if you don't respond with "Percolating, suit!" please stop reading this space. The judges will also accept "Percolating!" as a fair response and award your points accordingly.

Fat Vincent Chase is hilarious. He looked like former Saturday Night Live cast member Horatio Sanz trying out for a remake of The Beastie Boys' video for "Sabotage."

We even got to see Adrian Grenier acting as Vincent Chase acting as Pablo Escobar. That was kinda cool. And, any time Drama speaks in a foreign language, it bankrupts insurance companies from all the broken rib cases in the emergency room. Instant hilarity.

The idea to do the first episode as a behind-the-scenes documentary made for intriguing viewing. It had all the elements that we've come to expect from the show: Turtle-Drama comedy, E-Vince work dynamics, Ari Goldisms and a real plot line. Mixing in this new way to present those elements helped us not even realize until the end that the actual episode ran 28 minutes.

Keep it up, dear Entourage creators, producers, writers, directors and actors. A strong beginning.

Often with great episodes such as this one, the search for Best Printable Line takes a little more time than usual.

But Turtle saved us from multiple viewings Sunday night near the end of the episode. Billy Walsh began interrogating the entire crew of "Medellin" to find out who was sleeping with the actress he was trying to get with (played by Sofia Vergara).

E puts a stop to it, then the documentary cuts to a confessional from Johnny Drama, who predictably claims it was he who got with the actress.

Turtle stars laughing (didn't it feel like a real laugh and not an acted laugh?) and spurts out, "No shot, no shot. But please bust out a polygraph machine."

Score one for Turtle on the opening night of Season 4.

P.S. For those new to Entourage, the blog, or for those who just a need refresher course, here's the explanation of Best Printable Line: The weekly honor of Best Printable Line comes with the caveat of the quote being able to be reprinted for people of all ages. If not for this rule, Ari Gold would win every week. If not for this rule, I'd have been fired for dropping too many curses and lewd material in this blog.

Not every script can be a home run. Occasionally, there's a strikeout, a fielder's choice, a double-play grounder with runners on first and third with one out and a one-run deficit.

However, of the 42 episodes of Entourage thus far, there were quite a few that were out of the park. The Joshie nominees for Best Episode of "Entourage" are:

To fully appreciate the Best Printable Line from the Season 3.5 finale, you need to understand two words:

1) Billy
2) Walsh

He's a whackadoo character on the show, and every time he shows up on your television screen, he refuses to disappoint.

Of course, he didn't win the BPL this week because every fourth word out of his mouth is an F-bomb or worse. But, his new (and fitting) arc as a porn director gave rise to an unlikely BPL victor: Vince.

Vince and E rolled onto Walsh's set to discuss Medellin without knowing anything about his new gig. After discussing what movie it might be in the car ride over, Vince and E walk into a porn set with a pool table, leather outfits, naked women and men and, of course, Billy Walsh.

Vince turns to E and quizzically opines about Walsh's new movie, "Boogie Nights 2?"

Funny on so many levels.

After a full season away from the top of the heap, Johnny Drama returns to share Entourage, the blog's coveted Big Knish Award for Season 3.5. He splits the title with E, who delivered his share of one-liners in this short season of eight episodes.

This marks the second straight season of co-champions in the race for the Big Knish Award, given at the end of each season to the character with the most Best Printable Lines, those memorable and printable quotes from each episode.

Similar to rounds in a boxing match, the judges rate each episode individually. They don't look at the running total until after each week just to update the standings. And since so many things go on in real life during the seven days between episodes, the judges don't remember the standings.

Props to both Drama and E for giving us so much good material to use in the office on Monday.

Sloan was unpacking E's things at her apartment. Just before she pulled out the oversized dice, she removed two boxing gloves. They were white with red and blue stars and stripes on it.

Those gloves bore a striking resemblance to the gloves worn by Apollo Creed when he fought Ivan Drago in "Rocky IV."

Kevin Connolly, the actor who plays E, made his movie debut as Chickie Grabowski, the schoolyard bully who eventually gets beat up by Rocky's son in "Rocky V."

Subtle, but impressive.

Did anyone else happen to see that naked midget walking in the background on Billy Walsh's set when he, Vince and E were discussing "Medellin?"

Perhaps the most outrageous subtle bit this year. Hello, Writer Props!
