HBO Sunday Night - 8/29/10

Entourage:
Porn Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
Season 7, Episode 9

Johnny finally agrees to become a cartoon gorilla. Turtle offends his Mexican tequila contact by getting Mark Cuban interested in the business. Peter Berg decides to direct "Airwalker". And Vince professes his love for Sasha Grey. Adrien Grenier has been surprisingly great the latter half of the season - expressive and honest. Kevin Dillon is equally great, but he always has been. His question to Arnold (the dog) was priceless. So was Billy Walsh's pink bathing suit, tattoo and final line of the episode. Ari's public breakdown was tough to watch, but I did love the Godfather homage. B

Hung:
Fat Off My Love or I'm the Allergen
Season 2, Episode 9

I've only seen one public breakdown in my life - my very own on Christmas Day 2002. HBO gave us 3 in one night. In addition to Ari, Tanya and Ronnie ruined their professional and personal lives, respectively. Tanya beating her boss with a cheap pink belt was memorable but unrealistic. Ronnie humiliating himself to his colleagues and family was unbelievable and ridiculous. The best moment of the show occurred at the old Tigers' stadium when Ray discussed how the heart of Detroit had been torn out by money. The show stays relevant by addressing the economic hardship the country remains in. Tanya is near rock-bottom, but Ray appears to be getting the only thing he really wants - his whole family back. B
