Vince Chase Learns Who Replaces James Cameron On AQUAMAN 2!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“Entourage” didn’t get an Emmy nomination Thursday. Stupid Emmys! Here’s a snippet of dialog from tonight’s episode, just one reason the HBO comedy has slightly bigger balls than the admittedly superedgy “Two and a Half Men”:
VINCE: Cameron’s the only reason I signed on in the first place. Who’s directing [“Aquaman 2”]?
ARI: Michael Bay.
ERIC: Jesus Christ.
VINCE: They’re just rushing this thing out!
ARI: Vinnie, this is what studios do; the thing is a monster hit. They’re just trying to take advantage of it, that’s all.
VINCE: I haven’t even seen a script.
ARI: They’re working on it!
VINCE: Andrew Kevin Walker writing?
ARI: Kevin Smith.
ERIC: Oh boy.
VINCE: Fuck you, Ari! I want off this movie!
So are Michael Bay and Kevin Smith joining the cast now? Stay tuned, bitches!

-
You left out Kevin Smith as the replacement writer.
Oh, and Dan Dority kicked the shit out of Captain Turner. -
Name-dropping can stand in for plot and character for only so long.
-
haha poor bastard.
-
I like where they are taking Vinnie. We are seeing some growth. This show is underrated by the emmys. But ho watches the emmy's. they are obviously out of touch with where television is going.
-
Name dropping is used to impress. This is a segment of the industry telling us they think Michael Bay and Kevin Smith are untalented hacks. And they are right! I've never seen the show, but I like it already!
-
I hope that little bastard meets up with Borat and we get some REAL cameos up in this bitch!
-
Not that I'm complaining...I think its funny. In season two when Ari was talking about Harvey Winegard (Weinstein, he says, "If it weren't for me, he'd be producing Kevin Smith movies for the rest of his life."
-
That fat bastard just needs to lose a couple of pounds and filming can begin.
-
Have you seen how he's balloned up?
-
"the island" was the first semi-decent flick bay has directed and smith has proven he can write comic book stories and do them justice. if "entourage" really wanted to be snarky and spot-on they'd have said brett ratner and akiva goldsman, two true hacks. by the way, has andrew kevin walker even written anything since "8mm"?
-
now beaten by Pirates 2, so I guess Aquaman 2 has a new competitor?
-
and now i love it even MORE with the Encyclopedia Brown reference. my god was that money.
-
if they are willing to do a Busey or Moore and take the absolute piss out of themselves this could be incredibly funny ... I can see it now "Bay: Kevin the producers want a Polar Bear ... "Smith" not that f'n s**&^ again! ... "Bay" Dont worry man I talked them out of it ... its a exploding Shark now!
-
Is probably Rob Weiss, who joined the show last year. Go check out John Pierson's "Spike Mike Slackers and Dykes" for the whole feud between the two of them.
-
You know, the 7 million dollar WB Aquaman pilot is being completed, and will air as a one off (since the series didn't get a green light) in the next month or so.
-
When are they going to lengthen the episodes to an hour though?? Why didn't Jeremy Piven get an Emmy nod??? I would looove to see Michael Bay on there making fun of himself. Toe Jam, you're right: Ratner would have been a better dig though.
-
Did indeed kick the shit out of that cocksucker Turner. And poor Hostetler...
-
When it decided to insult my intelligence by making Auqaman the biggest opening movie ever. Not here, not in any fucking universe, would a movie about Aquaman do that. I don't give a shit who directed it, that would never, ever happen.

Who cares about Aquaman? Deadwood kicked ass tonight
by harristelemacher
Okay, its a pretty good show. But its like watching Dane Cook after Richard Pryor. Deadwood was pretty much the tits tonight, with a solid asskicking, a sucide, and a couple intense confrontations (primarily Hearst and Bullock-"If I told you to go fuck yourself, would you blame the drink, or my high esteem for you athletic ability?")
-
I'd agree with you, but you can kinda say the same thing about a movie based on a theme park ride about pirates...
-
Piven was nominated... The show just didn't get a Best Comedy Series nod.
-
i was misinformed.
-
Michael Bay is the Anti-Cameron. Transformers will be the next Plan 9 from Outer Space.
-
Add on Cameron's first movie since Titanic and it becomes more plausable. 100% lock? No. Possible? Yeah.
-
If you're going to start getting hung up on the implausabiliy of Aquaman you have to start with the fact that "Vinnie" would NEVER be cast as Aquaman. A young Pablo Escobar, sure, I can buy that, But not Aquaman. And Deadwood DID kick ass last night. One of the most brutal and real fight scenes ever put on film.
-
HOLY SHIT I LOVED THE EYBALL THING. ok I'm better now.
-
entourage was pretty cool, but Paul Haggis annoyed the hell out of me, especially when he referred to his "boys"
-
Yes - Kevin Smith appears to have hit a plateau. But he's a damn funny man who has given us nothing but lots of joy. What on earth would make you relish his pain? Sick bastard.
-
Duh.
-
If the cheering and clapping of the audience upon seeing the teaser in front of Pirates 2 is any sort of indication.
-
You're telling me they'll show that excrement-on-video to the general public, but after years of begging they won't deign to at least release a fucking DVD of the GF pilot? Are these people retarded? Scratch that - how do these people remember to *breathe*? Fucking asswipes.
-
What was that all about? That may have been the worst addition since cousin Oliver joined the cast of the Brady Bunch. Or Stephon Marbury joined the Knicks. Sorry. Sports reference. I forgot where I was for a second.
-
ripping that guy's eye out on HBO since those two ex-Centurions did some serious damage as Gladiators on "ROME".
-
I thought for sure that Dan was going to grab a pig and beat the Captain with it. Great episode. Lotsa plotlines furthered. Alma on dope, the theatre guy buying the whorehouse, Tolliver as Hearst's new bitch, E.B. currying favor with Al, poor Hostetler. Ten times more actual story than the last season of Sopranos. Oh, and Entourage is barely watchable. Who gives a shit about these four assholes and the amount of money they waste? Makes me not want to contribute to the movie biz at all.
-
The fact that "Deadwood" has not had a TalkBack in quite sometime makes me think that Herc is either slipping or asleep-at-the-wheel. This selection of "lines" from "Entourage" somehow earns a TalkBack?! "ENTOURAGE"???!!! An unfunny show designed for faux-hipster hoopleheads that hang on Jeremy Piven's every line? Simple minded cocksuckers.
-
It's the summer and there's no new TV on, yet Herc still can't find an excuse for a Deadwood talkback in it's final season??? Whatever! It's not like anyone was using the Entourage talkback (Entourage ep was boring and Deadwood ep was awesome). ........ So if Bullock didn't arrest Hearst, what would have Swearingen's plan had been? Did he even have one or is it that he really is just scared? Seems like once Dan killed the general, that was the best time to move against Hearst. Before he gets a replacement, that is. Speaking of that, what's happened to San Fransisco Cocksucker? ......... What's up with Tolliver and the acting troupe? Tolliver hasn't had much to do, aside from some Christ comments. I'm not sure how the actors fit into anything. I hope they're not just useless filler. It seems odd that Swearingen would be friends with that one guy, so I'm guessing that some interesting explanation will arise for that. ........ It's a testament to how good show this is that I actually thought Dan might die last night. Which would have put Silas in an interesting position. Silas would have been likely to flip (over to Hearst) if that had happened. It's just as well. Dan very much reminds me of an old college buddy who would inevitably cut someone with a knife when drunk, only to feel real bad after. I love his loyalty. And who can blame him? I'd put my money on Al too.
-
I have a cousin from Texas who is the spitting image of Dan, so I can't help but root for him. I think Swearengin was waiting to move against Hearst because he wanted to try and figure out Heart's angle first, but he couldn't. I suspect that's because Hearst doesn't HAVE an angle. He's simply used to bullying his way around new towns with little to no government. So he's doing everything he can do discredit anyone in either a law enforcement or town leadership position. The longer he can keep Deadwood unstable, the better it suits his ends. As laws get passed and officials elected, Hearst gets squeezed out. I think THAT is his angle - chaos and instability. It's pretty simple. The best move Al can make against Hearst is to make sure those elections happen.
-
Kevin Smith is a total joke. In a "we're laughing at you not with you" kind of way.
-
...and here's why: REASON #1: They've played the Aquaman storyline out, what with the digs at Harry, comic book conventions and fanboys in general, the angst b/w Vince and Mandy Moore, etc. The show would just be repeating itself, which wouldn't make sense, because every season so far has brought Vince unique roles. This freshness allows them to spoof different movie archetypes, i.e. the Hitchcockian thriller, the art-house indie gay-hustler-working-the-streets flick, the comic book franchise, etc. REASON #2: Doing the sequel would now require Bay and Smith to cameo, and because of the negative tone in which they've been referred to, along with the aforementioned feud b/w Smith and one of the show's writers, I seriously doubt we will be seeing them. REASON #3: At the end of this season, the entirety of which will largely focus on Vince trying to find a way out of A2, will likely end in with satire of the industry's determination to push on with franchises no matter who leaves (ahem, Hulk...). My guess is somebody shitty will fill in for Vince, and the sequel will tank while Vinnie and Co. are laughing their asses off. Anyway, that's just my prediction...
-
First off, Kevin Smith would still do a cameo if it meant being on TV. The guy was on "Joey" for Christ sakes! Vinne will get off of Aquaman and they will have someone like Stephen Dorff or Chris O'Donnell replace him.
-
I really liked Entourage last year and this season is still continuing the trend for me...it's amazing how Piven can still keep Ari fresh and not run his character into the ground and be completely obnoxious. You actually really like the asshole now. Def. think it's one of the best comedies on television...that being said, I was more impressed with Deadwood's episode last night. Terrific....but, that's not saying that Entourage isn't getting into it's groove itself. It took awhile to start heating up, but it certainly is on track now (loved the stiff to the exec. at dinner). Looking forward to a possible threesome and the return of Sloan? Get the babe back on the show!
-
that i should get off my ass and finally rent that deadwood box set thats been collecting dust at my local video store and see this thing? for real? cuz i dont want to get involved emotionally and economically into a POS series.
-
...and did not overstay his welcome. They needed to show someone from the the old neighborhood showing up to mooch off Vince. We got that in Dom. Two episodes and gone. Nothing wrong with that. Hey, that stuff happens in real life when someone gets rich. Why should Entourage be any different?
-
Yup. You've got Bay handling visuals, and fanboy Smith writing the script. It's like Jim Lee "Krakathoom" art reigned in by Jeph Loeb's writing = Batman Hush. And Entourage writers equate that to just "rushing the movie out?" Sorry guys, rushing it out would be Tim Story directing Aquaman 2 with a Simon Kinsberg script. I like the show, but the writers gotta do better with the name references. However, they did get it right with Haggis being hot shit, after the Oscar win. I'm sure every goofy actor wants to be in his next movie....even though I thought Crash was shit IMO.
-
Funny shit. Kevin Smith the two hit wonder (Clerks and Chasing Amy) should do us all a favor and leave while he's ahead. Clerks 2 will tank. And Michael Bay...what more needs to be said? As funny as last night's ep was, I have to agree with others in saying that Deadwood was the shit last night!
-
If I were Vince, I wouldn't worry about Kevin Smith writing Aquaman 2. If his writing of that script is anything like his real life writing of the scripts for Spider-Man/Black Cat or Daredevil: The Target, then Aquaman 2 wouldn't be finished until 2015 if ever.
-
Ari has to rebuild his client list plot? Landing Turtle and Drama is not a feather in his cap.
-
seemed like one of the normal favors to keep Vince happy and on his client list. He is already the main earner and will garner Ari a bigger reputation once he seriously blows up. By the way, this plot is really going to head Vince towards his dream project and a possible storyline that involves the awards season.
-
i think this guy should be murdered by dom or something. anyone else?
-
It was a stupid plot point to have AM enjoy the biggest opening of all time. I don't care who starred in it, that would NEVER happen in any sense of reality, there's simply not big enough fanbase for it. Besides they can dramatize Vince advancing successfully in his career just fine without him still as a relative no-name have the biggest opening weekend ever. To do that was nothing short of silly. I do like the way they ended the show though with Vinny giving a big fuck you to the WB head.
-
Sure they could of made it a flop but I liked the idea that its supposed to be a blah movie and its made huge money ... its also fun to show Vince rising to the top of the tree and then self destructivly screwing up ... we all know its going to happen
-
Their morning news anchor reported that Pirates beat Aquaman for the biggest opening ever. Way to trick the man. Here is the story:
http://tinyurl.com/l6ts5 -
That was the stupidest line ever. Andrew Kevin Walker? This hack is respected? Stupid stupid line, he must be a friend of that little cunt Rob Weiss, who by the way is a huge failure in life.
-
...is a flippin' brilliant show. Everything is already in motion for the ending, which, if you do a little research on the real history of Deadwood, you can see coming. Brilliant show. Langrishe is there with his troupe for a (perhaps only historical) purpose. In actuality, the Gem converted from a straight up whorehouse to a burlesque house. So, Langrishe's purchase of the Chez Amie is a bit of a mis-representation of history, but...
-
What's funnier, it being a flop like it's supposed to or be the #1 movie of all time?
-
Why was there absolutley ZERO mention of the fact that Aquaman is a blonde and Vinny has a freaking black brillo pad on his head. The fanboy outrage on that would have made the organic webshooters fiasco seem like a cakewalk. There is also no way in hell a Micheal Bay production could start up in less than 18 months, he'd be too busy tearing down everything Cameron built and adding more car chases. Bay's a hack but he's a big name hack, a rush job like this would require a Marcus Nispiel or Steve Norrington type. And if Medeilin draws awards attention the studio won't give a flying fuck since prestige= dollars. Keanu played a gay hustler and Johnny Depp did Blow and it hasn't tarnished them at all. I also sort of doubt that a Shrek protype would be that valuable, or that Saigon wouldn't have a Facebook/Myspace campaign going already so that a play on Big Boy would mean all that much, he's not freaking Alan Freed. And aside from the tramps Dom was pulling this season's been a bit of a sausage fest so far.
-
Captain Turner's eyeball... Best television sequence all year. Give us a talkback, Herc, or your gettin a 2x4 to the fuckin skull, cocksucker.
-
Your opinions mean shit to me and everybody else around here so just skip the snarky posts. You take Entourage way too literally. Imagine Vinnie as someone like Leo Dicaprio after Titanic. He was forced to do Man in the Iron Mask afterwards and after that tanked they allowed him to do the type of films that he wanted to do again. If you don't like the show just don't watch it. Seems to me that most people always want more of the show. Maybe I was a little harsh with you. I've had a bad day and you're just the straw that broke the camels back. To many know it alls sometimes.
-
Had a hit on Myspace with the song "Me & U", and it took Puff Daddy hearing it months later at a club for her to get a record deal. So Saigon not being so famous yet is plausible. Shaggy released a bombed record and a DJ in Hawaii started playing "It Wasn't Me" and the album took off. Getting a DJ on a big radio station to play your record is crucial. In NYC if Flex doesn't drop a bomb on your song, you are not hot. Look at Kid Rock, his last CD bombed until a country station played his song with Sherryl Crow and then he went multiplatinum.
-
actually, the duet with Crow was 2 albums ago, but your point is well taken
-
Seems he was around back in the day and giving lessons to Dan Doherty. . . . . . Maybe he's related to Woo. After all, Dan did do some fighting for Woo.

Aquaman wouldn't have the biggest opening ever? WHAT THE FUCK?!?! Ya know, 30 years ago, nobody would have thought Spiderman would have the biggest opening ever... or a movie based on a fucking Disney ride, for chrissakes! I remember the collective groans in the theater on that one 3 1/2 years back. Then look what we wound up with. The point is, as William Goldman once said, nobody knows anything, and beyond that, Aquaman is just a metaphor for the ridiculousness of these movies, the amount of money spent on them, and the vying to be cast as a superhero in a fucking franchise so that you can not get rich enough to not only send your great, great, great, great, grandkids to college, but into frigging space and beyond. I love comic book films as much as the next guy, but they didn't throw aquaman in there thinking, "Now would this make money in real life?" Besides... if that were the case, it'd already be on the studio drawing boards and they wouldn't be able to use it. Even the handling of Queens Boulevard was over the top, especially the director. That whole thing seemed like it was a gentle jab at James Gray, being that Wahlberg himself worked on The Yards at pretty much the same stage in his own career that Vince was in on the show. Now Aquaman kind of mirrors his own involvement in Planet of the Apes. It's a familiar trajectory, and it's not just name dropping - it's letting us know exactly how Hollywood operates, confirming all of our deepest suspicions at the same time that they're having a lot of fun with them. I just love this show, plain and simple.
-
not real life
im sure vinnie will do something and it'll be funny and interesting. i dont think they are going for 100% real or factual here. -
By season 7 or 8 itll be a good show.
-
I guess who needs Rome when it's happening all around us. I think this "HBO problem" is a problem I'm seeing in many industries. It's a general paralysis that keeps anybody from moving forward. You either have the initiative and momentum, or you stagnate into nothing of consequence. After the Sopranos came out, HBO was obsessed with finding the "next Sopranos". Kind of reminds me of poor people who inherit $1000 only to blow it all on lottery tickets, hoping to get "rich" again, instead of truly investing it in something worthwhile. ..... Carnivale was one thing, Deadwood is quite another. And BTW, it was my understanding that Carnivale was suppose to be 6 seasons (3 two season stories). Rome is the icing on the cake. It really seems like someone is trying to sabotage things over there, but I suppose it's just incompetence. I'll be canceling HBO after this run of Deadwood. In this age of downloads, there's no point in resigning up just for the last four (of Sopranos or Deadwood). .......... Rome is real good (after a slow start), but I didn't expect it to last beyond season 2. They don't have enough money now, and after the fiascos of this year, they will never have that kind of money again. DVD was still new when the Sopranos came out, so they were still coasting on an old business model. Original shows are what put them on the map these past seven years. Now that they've killed that goose, their future is bleak. They too, will feel the pain of cancellation.

My last post was actually meant for a different thread.
