Medellin
A few people have been asking how Medellin made it to the Cannes Film Festival. I would just like to mention that Richard Kelly’s follow-up to Donnie Darko title “Southland Tales” was competing at Cannes and it received alot of negative reviews. It was called “about the biggest, ugliest mess I’ve ever seen.” by one critic.
Southland Tales is now being re-cut by Kelly.
The same thing happened to Vincent Gallo’s Brown Bunny, so its likely and it happens.
End of Season 4.. Some Thoughts
So season 4 came, and left quickly. Was everyone satisfied? I personally believe Season 4 was the weakest of all the seasons so far, even tho there were some exceptional episodes. My biggest grief is how the show feels they can skip over very important details and later just mention them in passing. Two examples I can think of our Eric’s relationship with Sloane, and the Perfect 10 model from “My Maserati does 185″. It was mentioned this season that Eric kept calling her after that episode, and the only reason they weren’t together was because he got deported. I know that we’ve heard Doug Ellin say that he show isn’t suppose to be plot driven, but it doesn’t mean that they can skip over, or have the viewer assume a bunch of things. I also know, that for most viewers it doesn’t matter that 3 months past between the end episode Episode 1 of Season 4, and the beginning of Episode 2 of Season 4, but I think maybe the writing staff needs to slightly rethink their approach for Season 5.
Also, is it just me, or is TVweek’s “Podcast” with Doug Ellin the most useless shit ever? Ask some real fucking question lady…
More thoughts, and predictions coming soon.
The Cannes Kids
Next week’s season final is titled “The Cannes Kids” (a play on “The Sundance Kids” title which itself is a play on The Sundance Kid)
I don’t have a preview of this episode yet, mainly due to a DVR failure.. will try to get something for you soon.
We know that..
* Nicky Rubenstein is back and apparently past his legal issues (assets are no longer frozen)
* Johnny Drama rides the his Viking Quest popularity wave
* Drama pisses of a hotel manager..
* Guys are finding that it isn’t so easy to sell Medellin
We also know that Entourage will be back for Season 5 sometime in mid June of 2007. Writing has not started on the episodes yet, so no spoilers for Season 5…
And We’re Back
Had a small hick up with the directnic.com… ( aka I forgot to renew the domain). No worries tho, as we are back in business..

What IGN.com says:
A code orange at LAX threatens the guys’ chances of getting to Cannes in time for the “Medellin” premiere. Ari attempts to assuage the feelings of Mrs. Ari and Lloyd, who both make it clear in their own way that they want to accompany him on the trip. Billy finds room in his script for Eric’s new client, but will Eric’s ambivalence ruin his relationship with her, and with Vince?

“Snow Job” Information + Small Season Spoilers
What IGN.com says:
Ari receives Billy’s script for Vince’s next project, but Billy’s interpretation is vastly different from the adaptation he was commissioned to write. While Ari scrambles to keep the studio interested in the project, Eric is busy managing domestic issues between his new client and her needy boyfriend
What other details know:
- We meet Anna Faris’ boyfriend Dave. He is played by A.J. Buckley, you may recognize him from his semi regular role on CSI NY. (see picture to the right)

- Eric’s first day on the job is Anna at a photo shoot. Dave is annoying the photographer and Eric tries to take care of it.
- Ari meets (aka storms into his office) with a big studio exec to (possibly) sort out the issues between him, Dana Gordon, Billy Walsh and the script…
