Harry Knowles Is Not In This Week's Comic-Con ENTOURAGE!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“And that comment just cost you your opening weekend, Aquafag!”
“I have one goal in my life right now. Drown. ‘Aquaman.’”
They were willing to approach James Cameron, but the little bitches behind “Entourage” fear Harry Knowles as much as they fear Harvey Weinstein, so they decided to make up some chubby, unshaven, curly-haired, bespectacled geek named “R.J.” who runs a website that attracts millions of nerds daily!!
This episode would have been 100 times funnier if they got the real Harry instead of the guy from the fake NBC "Office." Trust me, I know from personal experience that Harry does not fear the black dildos. On-screen or off.
It is now my mission to destroy “Entourage.” Hey, HBO? Thanks for cancelling “Carnviale,” geniuses!! Effective today, Showtime is HBO, and HBO is Starz, bitches!!
P.S., I'm telling Michael DeLuca about "Turtle"!! Prepare for the biggest lawsuit of your life, HBO assholes, even if you did make him taller, skinnier and smarter!!
Were Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader two different people in the early drafts of “The Empire Strikes Back”? All is revealed in The Annotated Screenplays (Star Wars, Episodes IV-VI)
!!
Look! A fabulous new book co-edited by big-deal "Buffy"-"Firefly"-"Gilmore Girls" TV writer Jane Espenson. She introduces each of the essays, and the whole book besides:
Finding Serenity: Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly
!! Look! A new book by
“Freaks & Geeks” creator Paul Feig!
Superstud: Or How I Became a 24-Year-Old Virgin!!
Look! Christina Ricci cavorts nakedly!
Prozac Nation on DVD!!
Look! Original casting tapes! Deleted scenes!
Audio commentaries! Backstage with Drive Shaft!
Lost: The Complete First Season on DVD!!

Is the best show on HBO today!

Regarding Herc's comment above, I'm willing to bet that more Entourage watchers have heard of James Cameron than Harry Knowles!

What did they do with those dildos, is my question...
by miserableraingod
Fun episode, but damn they shat on Harry...or, I mean on that guy that wasn't Harry.

methinks I have to go find Harry's "Swordfish" review
by miserableraingod
And see how he felt about it.
-
Right down to the taking it up the arse part. And you don't need to destroy this lame show. It's doing that all on its own. I hate this show but I watched it tonight to see the comic-con part...you think it would be rife for comedy--especially with JP in the cast--but, no. I just want to beat every single one of those characters to death with one of their own appendages. If there are actual people like this in real life, they deserve to die slow deaths via dehydration and buggery. Fuck Entourage.

I mean, starfucking is one thing, Bonofucking is something else entirely.
-
Jesus dude, take a fucking joke. Way to suck Harry's cock a little more.
-
Always knew you were a pillow biter you little mother fucker.
Oh come on, while they were doing it I bet you were screaming "ANGEL...SPIKE...FRED...OH DO IT!" Then you let the three blondes hold you while you cried about Angel and Wonderfalls going off the air.
This episode was fucking hilarious. Greatest episode ever. Time someone put you in your place you little shit. -
You've updated the article twice since you first posted it! Somebody feeling sensitive tonight?
-
But not as harsh as Jay and Silent Bob. Rock on, Brother Harold. Victory!
-
not for nothing but why would they fear a giant red head who cant walk
-
..was AWESOME as Arthur in Six Feet Under. I'm just glad to see him again on HBO. Yeah, he's no Ralph Macchio or Bob Saget (best cameos this season by far), but it was decent. Great fucking show. Johnny Drama Rules.
Also, he doesn't have curly hair. -
It is now your mission to destroy
-
A) Herc and the crew found it funny and they are just acting like they are pissed. Personally, I think they knew this was coming up and are having a bit of fun with it. B) They seriously are pissed. Not just at the "RJ" charcter but also at not being asked to be on the show. Ehhh, I can't see this but if it is true maybe they didn't ask because it was filmed while Harry was (and maybe still is) getting over the surgery on his leg.
I thought the show was funny as a parody of AICN and Harry being on the set of Pearl Harbor. Besides, we know the reasons "RJ" gave for starting his site don't apply to AICN as they have to make some nice coin of the ads & links. Plus, people are desperate in Hollywood for a good word so they must have a nice list of those willing to do "anything" for a kind blurb. -
Its just a show that makes fun of the industry. Harry is part of it. He should be honored that he is so successful that he and his site are lampooned. Remember Harry, with great power comes great responsibility. Don't forget that.
-
I have searched for it and it does not show up under reviews. Hmmmmmmmmm.
-
This is what he had to say from "Harry's Biggest Disappointments of 2001 list";
4. SWORDFISH
After an audacious opening that tossed down the gauntlet in regards to pedestrian action/crime films and knocking me out. The film became a limp noodle with no hope of starch in sight.
After the bomb goes off, there is nothing left to see for 90% of the movie -
Because if he is then it's pretty sad. We all know what site they were talking about, and who they were making fun of, and it's not a big deal. The show is still entertaining from week to week, and you can't say that about every show on television.
-
jeez...you...you are kidding...right herc?
-
Herc is jusy playing up to the "character" on the show. I hope you guys aren't really taking him seriously. NOBODY can actually be as lame as Herc is playing up to be.
The Ep. was great, and the lampoon of the movie nerd sight was hilarious! I thought this was a great episode.
Drama gets funnier and funnier every week, man! -
I'm pretty sure the girls put on a show for pseudo-Harry (who reprised his role as Arthur in tonight's episode of Six Feet Under). Devon and Teagen are pretty heavy girl-on-girl porn movie stars. However, if they went the other right and fucked him in the ass with the strap-ons, that's the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in my life. Awesome. Favorite line from tonight's episode. "I started this website in my mother's basement to do two things. Get laid and make some money - neither of which is happening." Maybe if you didn't eat buckets of chicken every night, beeotch!!!
-
Harry should be so honored to be represented by a skinny guy!
-
Or did you guys miss the article Herc posted on this very episode earlier this year? He did post about it. He and Knowles knew about it. Now they are being silly! Hooray for being silly! Now Herc, send me my 50,000 volts DVDS! I WON DAMN IT! Okay. Sure I didnt. I can dream of great Nick Frost comedy. I can dream, damn it!

seconding fievel's assessment of rainn wilson's work
by trader groucho 2
he owned in this ep of entourage. still, he brought his own thing to it. didn't see much of harry there aside from the character's background.
-
No Ari = boring. Plus their take on comic-con was pathetic. It looked like they filmed over by seaport village...losers. And the RJ character wasn't funny - he was just a cliche.
-
The line where Eric says RJ's site gets a milloin hits a day got me to wondering. So I decided to see if I could find a ranking site that had AICN's HPD. I couldn't but I did stumble upon Alexa which ranks the top site (fairly reliable from what I could gather) and they had AICN at about #4700. I tried a few other sites and a digital cmera site was at #804. We all know the thing about RJ getting paid was fake (as it would apply in the real world) but if it was true, I wonder what the guy on that camera site would get to make or break the latest from Nikon or Canon.
Ok, all that was pretty useless but what the hell. It was interesting just to see what the top sites were anyhow. -
was obviously a dig at the rave review Harry gave "Armagedon" after being flown in and wined and dined. Harry really got skewered tonight. It was BLATENTLY supposed to be him (although they went easy on him by casting someone 20x better looking), and they didn't pull their punches at all. It was rancid and hateful contempt. I knew Harry was disliked in Hollywood, but I had no idea it was this bad. "Entourage" has made fun of a lot of aspects of the film industry, but never anything near the extent or viciousness that they threw out at Harry tonight.
-
Man oh man, that's quite the funny post, Herc - I believed you for a while there. Then I reread the HBO is Showtime line, and I realized the humor. Awesome.
-
How about this one, Harry Knowles wasn't in tonight's ComicCon episode but I was. LMFAO, I was an extra in this episode. They contacted our Stargate fan group and we had eight people and our fan table at the shoot. I haven't seen the episode yet but I was the Stargate guy dressed in all black. I heard they blurred the background a lot so I'm curious how much I can actually be seen. Check us out at SG-Command.net. Did they manage to get any good shots of the guy in the Blue Transformer costume? That fucking costume could actually turn into a car, it was pretty damn cool.
-
Harry feels ripped off and he is contemplating legal action. Tee hee hee. You know what's really funny about that episode? Harry actually got laid.
-
I hate Hollywood, I love Entourage. People who hate it, people who call the characters shallow and soulless, do not get the joke. Entourage is a parody. Perhaps even a farce. If you think comedy is something that involves you in liking characters and wishing them well, watch some friends DVDs. If Seinfeld is a parody of yuppie, single New York in the 90's, Entourage is the entertainment industry of the ever changing present, where everyone is either someone important or willing to suck anyone's anything to become someone important. Its the best live action farce in many a year and the laughs aren't jokes the characters say, but the situations that occur. Every episode should be longer and include more Ari. Harry should be happy he wasn't played by someone actually fat. Realize that, like all critical comedy, they made him two dimensional and cut at his weaknesses. Get over it, you guys get to do this stuff for work. Cheers!
-
That was great! From the moment I internet movie review-boy, I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF. Legal action Schmeagal action. If they greased his fucking palm before they did this episode, no one would be pissed. In fact they probably could have jammed a maypole up his fucking ass and had Hobbits do a jig around it for the entire half hour if they had just given him some HBO/Entourage schwag. I wonder, if they let that Pussy Patrol touch him, would he still be pissed? Parody is protected by the constitution.(That's why Weird Al doesn't have to get clearance for shit just a customary "blessing". If he was a real prick he'd just do it without asking.) He(Harry) was never named, nor the site and the character bear no-likenesss to him. The average Entourage fans either don't know who Harry is or could give a fuck who he is. Either way, I'd love to see how this "case" gets off the ground.
The episode was funny and of course people's feelings were hurt because there was some truth to it. I go to conventions on the occasion and there are a million "Drama's" there for example: $25 to have your picture taken with Dak from Empire Strikes Back!(Serious) There are hot unattainable girls there that they know will draw the virginal dreamers in because alot of the men there are single and have these unreal perceptions of chicks anyway. So why not capitalize?. And most of the time when they have panels there for huge movies, the stars don't really want to be there and they usually do think comic/sci-fi fans are geeks because, well...WE ARE FOR THE MOST PART(Although I have a kid which means I've at least kissed a girl.) and I fuck alot so that kinda makes me a novelty for our ilk.
So suck it up boys. We were made fun of and it was pretty accurate. Wasn't too bad and we're all here today acting just the way they depicted us in the show last night. Go figure. -

Moriarty is now Herc!!! Herc is now eerily similar to that freak boy from the fake office in his schoolboy whining little tantrum. So the boss didn't get on the show...big deal. A 4 second clip of Entourage is still more entertaining than anything Herc's written in the last year. But if it makes you feel better, I DO agree about Carnivale. Oh how I miss it so.
-
So quit your whining :)
-
They get more good movies than HBO and SHOTIME combined.
-
Are you kidding me, Harry is loving the attention. When SNL spoofed him he clearly "dug" it. That was a great episode. Unfortunately, my wife, didn't really get the "in" joke despite me explaining it to her. Long live the Pussy Patrol!
-
They filmed that part over the course of about 3 hours. During that time the Ghostbusters costumers got to stand next to and talk to the Pussy Patrol the entire time. I got to walk back and forth doing the "Con shuffle" with a mixed crowd of people who were not wearing lingerie and who were definitely not porn stars. When we first went in there we wear all wondering what the hell the Pussy Patrol even was, they had a lot of independant comic companies booths at the fake con so we thought it might be real. I walked over and picked up one of the Pussy Patrol comicbooks and the first page I opened to had Robin swinging over Gotham City. I was like WTF kind of DC comic is this?!?!? LMAO.....This was all filmed in the conference center of a hotel in Marina Del Rey California.
-
This should be the name of this overrated piece of shit. Aside from Jeremy Piven, this show has no strong actors or characters. The only reason hollywood wannabees like this show is because they think it's the way Hollyweird really is. Riding down sunset in a Bentley listening to rap music, give me a fucking break. However, I am happy that this particular episode is showing what a bunch of lying, two-faced, fucking assholes most actors, managers, agents, and friends are in this business. Incidentally, I don't buy that any of the characters in that show could fight their way out of a wet paper bag or beat anyone up, even Harry(JK). Also, they go the entire episode bashing comics and comic book lovers, yet a few episodes ago they were all ecstatic about going to a fucking video game convention. I guess video games are cooler than comics because you don't have to read. Fuck this show. Fuck HBO. Fuck everyone who likes the show. I'm done being clean on this site, if anyone has a problem with things I'm saying then bring it the fuck on. I'll crush you.
-
You sure? Then I guess Spielberg likes to play with Transformer toys and has no problem giving his valuable time to allow AICN interviewers on to his set, meet Tom Cruise (no, not such a great honor, but difficult nonetheless) and pretend he's as geeky as Mori et al? Ok...
-
Sure, it was probably the most "insider" of the episodes yet, but man it was hilarious.
-
I thought the parody was just good fun and was actually pretty funny. The look on RJ's face when the "patrol" showed up at his door, that was great. I have to think basing the episode around Harry is only good. People know it's in jest.
-
Hey folks - At my current location, I don't have access to HBO - so I missed out on seeing last night's episode - sounds hilarious. I just got finished doing a ROLLING STONE interview about it - which was odd... cuz I haven't seen it, but... When they were casting me, several of the actors/comedians that were up for the part called me to see if I was OK with them playing me... which personally I thought was ridiculous... I mean - is it a good part or not, that's the only question. What I think about it is beside the point. Horatio Sans didn't call me up when he played me on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE shooting softball questions about the Matrix to President Bush. But I thought it was hilarious.... As for this character based on me setting out to "destroy" a film based solely upon a personal interaction... That's funny. It has never happened, but it is a general feeling. When I roast filmmakers like PAUL W.S. ANDERSON or BRETT RATNER or ROB COHEN or a project like FANTASTIC FOUR - people seem to always think it comes from some sort of personal snub. Oh those people and projects - I've only had a relationship with Brett Ratner - we've always treated each other with the utmost friendliness. My aggressiveness on his take on SUPERMAN came from his complete lack of understanding in regards to the character - not anything else. I've never met Paul W.S. Anderson - but he makes movies I always want to see based on the trailers - but then make my head hurt at their wasted potential. With me - it's always about a project's potential - based on script, talent and inspiration. When I go batshit on a project or a director - it's always based upon the work, my dream for their film - and the nightmare they've turned it into or are turning it into. HOWEVER, I've no doubt that I'd laugh my ass off about ENTOURAGE's portrayal of me. But... apparently Herc is going to destroy them all. Which is a pity. I hear it's a good show.
-
Why bother writing a detailed disclaimer that you don't behave like the R.J. character? We all know that it was just a parody. By actually saying, "I'm not really like that", all you're doing is making something that was just a joke sound like a genuine accusation. Anyway, check out last night's episode. It was funny and I think you'll probably get a kick out of it. I know I would if I were you.
-
I dig this show, but it is definitely overrated. But regardless, it has swearing and T&A, and its only aim is to entertain. There's no weighty subject matter, there are no life-or-death situations for any of the characters, and it's basically all about having a good time - - the tv equivalent of a popcorn flick ... it's just too bad each episode is only like seven minutes long. Piven rules (which, love the show or hate it, everyone seems to agree upon), and Johnny Drama is funny as fuck (although is it just me, or did it take him all of eight epioides to become a parody of himself?). Also, Debi Mazar is great in her limited role, and that Billy guy (indie director) is cool in an asshole sorta way. Now the other characters, as far as I'm concerned, don't add anything to the show. Kevin Connolly just isn't likeable, IMHO. I don't buy his witty, quasi-toughguy comebacks to Ari, and there's no way Holly Valance would ever let him fuck her. Also, wtf was the purpose of him booting that soccer ball at the gardner in season one? It's been tough for me to see him as anything other than a little elfin douchebag ever since. My problems with Vince basically boil down to how he's written (He hears they're looking at Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and his response is "Well then tell them to look at me" - - no way he's that clueless). BUT, I did like how Mandy Moore said something to him about how he "plays games." I know dudes like Vince - - good-looking guys, but pussy-ass drama queens when it comes to dealing with chicks. It showed that altho Vince is a likeable guy, he can also be kind of a tool. As for Turtle, he doesn't take anything away from the show, and he's never been written as a toughguy - - when he threatened that reporter, he was just defending his buddy. All in all, the characters are laughably shallow, and although it may be a little exaggerated on the show, it's by no means incorrect when you're talking about young Hollywood insiders and hangers-on. On to your other points, are you saying that the only people who like this show are Hollywood wannabes? That's no different than saying the only people who like sci-fi are bitter, overweight virgin fanboys who play with action figures and replica lightsabers. It's a generic and almost completely baseless critique, and more important, it just isn't correct. And I thought the video game competition / comic convention episoides were a brilliant comment on the hipocrisy of the coolguy mentality. So I completely agree with you on the observation, just not on my emotional response to it. AND ... I love HBO. Where the hell would we be without it? No Sporanos, no Deadwood, no Tales From the Crypt, no Larry Sanders ... just a bunch of lame Law and Order/CSI spinoffs and run-of-the-mill, PG-rated sitcoms with laugh tracks and cookie-cutter plots and characters. Fuck that. God bless HBO.
-
Herc, Stop you're crying man just because a great show hurt your feelings! WHo says Journalism is supposed to be unbiased!
-
"Entourage" is maybe my favorite live-action sitcom right now. I loved this episode. I loved it an extra-lot because I went to my own first Comic-Con a couple weeks ago. But I am serious that Harry would have been happy to play himself. Remember "The Larry Sanders Show," which would feature major stars like Ben Stiller playing asshole versions of themselves? Harry, I'm almost certain, would have been all kinds of behind that idea. It would have been hilarious beyond all reason if we saw that red-haired god call Vince "Aquafag." I know most of the readers too smart to post in talkback know this, but I thought I'd go on record anyway. Longtime readers know I love HBO and loved "Entourage" long before it was cool and now love it more than ever. If you're not watching "Entourage," you need to start already. Oh, and? I love "Entourage" BECAUSE I love Hollywood. Hollywood rules. Move here if you know what's good for you.
-
Seriously, many of us could careless if we won or not. Sure. We want the pretty DVDs to watch or just put on a shelf. Yet, Im curious, how YOU would answer those questions that you posed. Fill us in. It would be greatly, appreciated.
-
That's it. Except Piven who is a GOD among men. Man has got a raP. And that's a capitol "P" for phunk.
-
The last three episodes before the Comic-Con ep were great. Everything before that was shite. I didn't recall last season being this inconsistent.

by chickychow
Cuz LA is the most awful, hideous city I've ever been to.
-
Watch the scene where Drama and Turtle first walk into the comic-con. There's a girl in a pink wig featured very prominently in that scene that looks exactly like Natalie Portman. If anyone recorded it on Tivo or a dvr, take a look and let me know.
-
I grew up in this industry and on backlots, my mother was a producer on numerous TV shows. So I absolutely have an insiders view of the way this business works. My emphasis is on what writers are feeding the public nowadays, particularly children. That is a show aimed at teenyboppers, the MTV crowd, with a few spikey bits of inside jargon mixed together with what people think is titilating underground stuff. Funny thing is...I totally agree with your extremely articulate critique of the show. My point is that there is nothing cool, hip, or fun about hollywood, if you grew up here. It's a hardcore place to live if you have principles. I've seen enough of the glamourization of people with below average intelligence. As far as HBO goes, yes maybe I did fly off the handle a little, but at the time I was out for blood. "Tales from The Crypt" is one of my all time favorite shows, but to be honest since I got a DVD player I stopped watching TV shows.
-
you may like Hollywood a bit better than the girl with the producer mom. Models. Actresses. Halter tops. Sunset. Pretty.
-
Enough, Hollywood is Hollywonderful. I understand.
And Vince is not a real person, Stop acting like you know him. -
I guess not much has changed since Day of the Locust. Less scotch...more bottled water.
-
The problem Douche is you've been trying to be Hollywood guy in LA. Try rejoining the human race and experiencing real life instead of the Hollywood life. The disgusting people you describe aren't the real people of LA, they're all part of the freakshow alien culture you are a part of, and apparently you're so steeped in this alien culture that you missed the fact that this alien culture is a tiny percentage of the population in California. I can't help but feel a little offended by your post. I'm a stage Dad, my son does commercials and such, and while I am on the fringes of true Hollywood, I know the kind of people you are talking about and you are right about them. Good example, my wife came to a set to take over for me in the evening so I could go to school. As we said goodbye I kissed her goodbye as I normally would in any other situation. A stagehand comments to my wife after I left, "It's so nice to see a couple kiss goodbye like that, you never see that anymore." The only people who never see that anymore are the vapid morons working in Hollywood who wouldn't know what love actually is even if it was standing over them and shitting on their face.
-
Harry would never change a review for a strap-on.
-
First off, I'm a 25 year old man. Not a broad, if I'm who you're talking about? Second, I also happen to have gotten more pussy than you've gotten air out of Hollywood. It's always the fucking tourists who try opening their mouth to tell you what's what. I don't stare at those women, I fuck them. As a matter of fact I've been around them so long I'm downright sick of them, I need a homely woman who can cook and clean and help me take care of my daughter. That's why I care, maybe when you have children you'll begin to leave behind your adolescent hormones.
-
Boy, you're coming off like a wide-eyed mid-western dork to me.
-
...in the episode. As soon as RJ opened the hotel room door, he was done. Deal closed. Aquaman gets good review. I thought it made for a great scene.
