Although I have never used this blog to discuss shows and movies (I use another outlet for that), I cannot pass up the opportunity to commend the writers of Entourage for the episode I watched last night. It felt good to see a show that depicted a classic case of a man finally growing the balls to break out of the Dick in a Glass Jar magical spell. Some background (To explain the plight of Eric): Entourage depicts the lives of four men as they carry out their lives in Hollywood in support of Vincent Chase, a young actor who had become a star overnight and brought his friends along with him.

Now I don’t feign ignorance in knowing that people like to know their neighbors to be sure that they don’t have Al Capone or Tony Montana living next door but why is it always the same story with the people who engage in the nosiness.
