So Teo can’t sleep at night without hearing my take on the VMA’s. Understandable. I tend to have that affect on women. But I really don’t know what to say. The show was pretty boring. Kanye’s performance was fine but nothing memorable. And it definitely didn’t pass the “Closed Laptop” test. The Closed Laptop test is when you’re sitting on your couch watching TV while perusing the Internets on your laptop. If what you’re watching is truly captivating, then you will close your laptop and give the show your full attention. At no point during the VMA’s did I even think about putting my laptop away, and so that should tell you all you need to know.
On the other hand, how great was Entourage on Sunday? I re-watched it yesterday and enjoyed it even more than the first time. Probably the best episode since 2008 and definitely one of the best episodes in Entourage history (still put “Exodus” at No. 1). Either way, I don’t think I’ve ever felt real emotion while watching Entourage before. But when Ari’s wife left him and Christina Aguilera was singing in the background, I actually felt a little sad. And I also thought that was the best acting Adrian Grenier has turned in while being on the show. When Vince walks out of the ER and sees all his friends, I just wanted to go give him a big hug. But it’s probably not a good thing for Adrian that the role that bests suits him is the drugged-out narcissistic asshole.
