Entourage - "Fire Sale" - 9/28/08

"Fire Sale"
Spoiler:
Ari shows interest in Eric's indie script, imagining it as a big studio production with Vince as the lead. However, believing they now have a bidding war on their hands, the writers up their price. Determined to postpone his post-breakup depression, Drama gets pumped for his guest appearance on The View.


The last sentence sounds awesome

I like the idea of him playing a secondary lead role though... i predict the end of this season ending with a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Vince.

Great episode. I like that they're beginning to explore E.'s career quite a bit this season and I'd love if they're heading in the direction of a supporting nomination for Vince.

Episode FLEW by. Another great one. I wonder if Drama's breakdown will hurt or help his luck with the ladies.

Drama's breakdown on the View was funny. Also hilarious was the other prisoners shouting "VICTORY!" as he was being released from the police station.

Interesting plot with Vince wanting a secondary role to rebuild his career, but I am a little tired of the big twist in the last 30 seconds which leaves everyone standing around staring at each other.

Not a bad prediction but if the season trends remain the same he won't get around to making the movie until the end of the season. It seems that the seasons are when he is figuring out his career and the breaks are when he goes out to make the movie. I can see this happening next season though for sure and it would be pretty cool.

I like the idea of "9 Brave Souls". The original version that E pitched to Ari seemed like a 12 Angry Men type film.

Solid episode, reminiscent of the ones from the premiere season.

Carla Gugino somehow gets hotter and hotter.

That's just what I was thinking. And if this were real life, I think it would be a good career move for a Vincent Chase type of actor. Seriously, some of these next hot young actors really should learn to take a strong supporting role in a GOOD movie every once in a while.

This ep certainly had me invested, and then before you know it, it was over. Should be interesting to see how the negotiations continue to go.

Very good episode. I'm digging this season so far. I don't think the show ever jumped the shark, but Season 3 Part II and Season 4 were a step down from the first 2 years. This is a nice return to form.

And I like the fact that they don't just discard supporting characters from previous years. So far this season, we've already seen Justine, Marvin, Adam Davies, and Amanda resurface. Next week is the return of Alan Gray from WB.

If Vince can't get a job aside from Benji movies and supporting roles in scripts he discovers, Walsh has got to be toxic.

Speaking of Walsh, didn't Vince, E, and Walsh all have a deal with a studio to make "Silo"? Did the studio pay them off after the Medellin debacle so they wouldn't have to do the movie?

That one continues to bother me. It looks like they had a deal in place and IIRC they were already cut an advance check before the Medellion bomb. Vince should have a cool $2 million to his name (although it probably all went directly to paying off his bills). Not to mention money for E since he was Exec. Producer. I'm assuming the studio scraped Silo after the bomb but there should have been some money included in that for Vince and E.

Drama should be swimming in pussy after a tearful performance like that on The View.

Love the Hollywood deal-makings.

Totally didn't go the way that I thought it was going to! Great writing because I thought that he was totally going to make himself look bad.

I know this has been a common gripe, but I just wish this show was an hour.... 30 minutes on Entourage go by wayyyy to fast! Most good sitcoms can't pull off an hour (as much as I like it, The Office is a much better suited 30 minute show). I think Entourage could easily pull it off!

I love how Drama added the 'tweet' when doing his tear filled appology on the View. Also the episode was only 22 minutes, which is about how long most sitcoms are if you take out the commericals.

Some writers get a lot more than that. I believe Joe Eszterhas got 3-4 mil for a lot of his scripts in the 90's. And Shane Black I think got around 4 mil for The Long Kiss Goodnight. Granted, these were established writers who could command these salaries, but it happens.

And Josh Schwartz, the creator of The O.C. and Gossip Girl, said in an interview once he was paid a million for a script........that was never made.

Good episode although take away the credits and recap and it was only 20 minutes long.
