I could just tell from the coming attractions for last night's episode of Entourage that it was going to be an awful television experience. And that was before I got to witness Turtle wearing a pink bunny suit and Drama fucking some girl from behind, in said pink bunny suit. What I didn't realize though, was that it was going to be perfect encapsulation of what NOT to do with Vinny Chase and his cohorts. Honestly, if you happened to watch Entourage last night while simultaneously enjoying it, there is something wrong with you. I don't know how else to say it.

And the Nominees Are: The 2007 Emmy Nominees
A banner day for television, as the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominees were announced earlier this morning. The broadcast of these "prestigious awards" will air September 16th on... Fox.Yes, suffice to say, the Emmy Awards really aren't that great. In fact, of all the awards shows, they probably rank only slightly ahead of the Grammy Awards and the Clio Awards in terms of insignificance. Plus there are so many different categories, you can lose yourself looking at the nominations list. Seriously, does anyone care who wins Best Make-Up (Non-Prosthetic)?
In an effort to make things easier for everyone, here's a very early handicapping of all the "major" awards.

Balls on Ham: The Bronx is Burning Reviewed
Obviously, the Summer of '77 was the apocalypse for New York City. However I'm not sure anyone bothered to notice.In no particular order, you had: the Blackout, the Son of Sam murders, the Mayoral race to end all Mayoral races, massive crime, a city on the verge of bankruptcy, the emergence of Rupert Murdoch and the NY Post, and the New York Yankees fighting each other on the way to their first World Series title fifteen years. All that was missing was a rain storm of frogs or a swarm of locusts.

Suits Suck: Entourage Recapped
Hey, remember Entourage? You know, that show that used to suck really bad but people watched, then out-of-nowhere it got really fun and watchable, and then almost as quickly it got completely horrible and unwatchable?
Yeah that show.
Something weird happened last night when I clicked "play" on my Time Warner DVR unit. Entourage didn't suck. Actually, and I can't believe I'm saying this, it was pretty freakin' great.
I know, I'm as shocked as you are.

Tonight's Gonna be the Best Night Ever: What is Cloverfield?
To give you a little window into my soul: I have an obsessive personality. Shocking, I know, but it's true. I obsess over everything, but mostly this facet of my personality comes to life when it refers to pop culture entertainment.I'll listen to songs that I love on end for weeks at a time until they burn out-- currently I'm destroying Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black."
I'll watch movies over and over and over again-- Wedding Crashers comes to mind since I just caught it on cable yesterday for the 102nd time.
And occasionally, I'll even read (yes, read) about something that has struck an obsessive chord with me until my eyes bleed.
It's with this window into my soul that I give to you my current obsession: the trailer for LOST creator/producer J.J. Abrams new movie, which may or may not be called "Cloverfield."
You need to watch this trailer immediately.
