Entourage

I’ve blitzed through all six seasons of Entourage in about three weeks. What a great show. Can’t wait until next season, not sure anything else will satisfy my fantasy TV cravings.

HBO’s site lists the songs used in each episode, which is great, because a lot of the flavor comes from the musical variety, and they don’t list songs in the credits at the end of the show.

I’ve been wondering since early-on why Kevin Connolly has top billing in the show’s intro credits for his Eric Murphy character, when on the surface it seems to be about the entourage revolving around movie star Vincent Chase played by Adrian Grenier. Haven’t been able to find any solid info on that. I think i’d say E’s my favorite character, but most people seem to go gaga for Jeremy Piven’s ruthless agent extraordinaire Ari Gold.

Lost Is Over

This was the least interesting premiere of Lost in all five seasons of the series. They’re off the island. They’ve been off the island for three years. That’s it, there’s no more show—Prison Break syndrome. My curiosity and disbelief is stretched so thin that i don’t really care anymore about the few people left on the island. And i certainly don’t care about the island itself. The only thing i’m remotely curious about is whether or not Jin really died. That’s it. Everything that happens off of the island is not Lost, which now appears to be half of the show. The whole point of the show is gone. Hurley driving Sayid around LA? Seriously?

I feel cheated every time a new set of peoples is introduced in a season premiere, and every time a late-addition supporting character gets their own flashback. Oh yeah, and the “new survivors” that all of the sudden have a name and some speaking lines? Yeah, you’re gonna die a horrible death. Probably something absurd like a volley of flaming arrows raining down from the night sky. Ironically, i guess, i’ve been on this hater tip before, for almost the exact same reasons.

And what was with the photography? Did they hire a monkey as the cinematographer? The shots in the jungle in the first hour were so poorly exposed. There’s always been the occasional misfocused shot, or lousy lighting here and there, but this was several entire scenes of high-definition garbage. Unfortunately the story is no longer interesting enough to keep me distracted from those distractions. End of rant. Lost is over.

Trigger Finger

Saw this on the History Channel last night, and it blew my mind.

Competition marksman Jerry Miculek has a crazy trigger finger. He fired 10 rounds from a 1911 at over 600rpm (using two hands) (couldn’t find a clip of that one).

Jewelry By Design Uncut

This is the first episode of the TV show i’ve been working on at the jewelry store. It’s been playing for a week or so on the local Comcast channel in Prince William County, VA, and now it’s on the web.

I recommend viewing the show on the YouTube site in higher-quality (click the watch in high quality link just below the video). As far as i can tell, there’s no way to have the higher-quality versions automatically play from embedded players or playlists; if anyone knows how to embed the high-quality version of YouTube videos, please holler.
