Entourage: Season 4 FINALE Discussion (spoilers obv)

[ncboiler]

I thought it was decent but thought the Drama that was very stupid. It was obvious that he was going t get kicked out of the hotel and chick would be gone.

The Medellin sucking line was also obvious due to the bidding on the show sight unseen.

I'm one of those that watch it for the humorous lines and ballin rather than the plot line and character development so this show seems to entertain me.

[yi style]

In my opinion, the show has flourished on having a ballin/fun style, a couple Emmy-worthy characters (Ari + Drama), and incredible directing by Julian Farino.

Of all those factors, I think this ep only succeeded on the ballin/fun aspect, and only slightly at that. The Drama storyline was predictable and cheesy, Ari was just ok, and I thought that the Cannes atmosphere provided the opportunity for some real brave directing, which I didn't feel was delivered, mainly because Julian Farino didn't direct it.

Although many people watch the show solely for the ballin/fun factor, I'd like to see some more character development, especially for Vince.

Can someone explain the economics involved in the episode a little?

So Vince/E put up $5 million, and Nicky Rubenstein put up $30 million for a budget of $35 million.

Since they sold the movie for $1, will they be receiving a cut of the profit on movie to make up for their investment? Is this a percentage of the total gross? Is there a minimum or maximum amount of money they could make here?

If they HAD sold the movie for $75 million, I assume Nicky and Vince/E would split the profit in proportion to their investment. Would they still be getting a % of the gross on top of this in this case?

This season started pretty much right after the previous one ended if I remember right. Anyone know when the next season starts?

Just watched the finale. Will be the last episode of Entourage I ever watch.

R.I.P.

I really enjoyed the first episode of this season. It was not the standard entourage story, and set up the whole season - they have a movie, what next?

What a contrast with the finale. The story lines opened during the season (E's business and what it means for Vince, Anna Faris, the Clouds screenplay) all got dumped with no real closure and the questions that should have been answered are left open.

If they wanted a cliffhanger, they got it. Only the unknown is how the hell the writers can fix this morass, and if anyone will still care next year when after the next three hot new shows come out. Probably not what they wanted in a cliffhanger.

I thought it was alright.

Is it just me, or did Drama's Viking Quest fling-girl seem really hot, even with her weird face and big nose?

The show lacked much of anything.

I knew the movie would bomb though
