Vinnie and the boys of Entourage are back for Season 6. The Entourage Season 6 Premiere, named Drive, has Vince literally, and figuratively, back in the driver’s seat.
After last years doldrums, with the boys hurtin’ after their movie bombed at Cannes, they are back on top as last season ended with Martin Scorsese offering Vince a lead part in his new movie.
This is good. We watch the show to live vicariously and who wants to vicariously live through pain.
The best man speech below has many solid characteristics of a good best man speech.
First and foremost, Ollie–the best man, presents himself very well speaking clearly and projecting nicely so that everyone can hear him. Though most people may not consider this, Ollie finds himself in a somewhat awkward position as he has to do his best man speech on the stairs.
Many best men feel saddled with this great expectation: Your Best Man Speech Better Be Funny.
Thus, the best man often sets out to write a 5 minute comedy sketch for his best man speech. And do you know what happens?
They say that the Best Man Speech can make or break a wedding. In the video we see below, we find a Worst Best Man speech that makes everyone uncomfortable and the entire occasion rather unbearable.
This speech is very odd in that he, Dave–the Best Man, seems to have cue cards accessible. What could have been written on them?
The best man speech has become the focal point of many weddings. The best man either delivered a knock out best man speech and all of the guests are talking about it. Or, he delivered a poor or inappropriate speech that has everyone talking for the wrong reasons.
So, will you be the best man who delivers a knockout performance or will you be the one who accidentally rains on the wedding parade?
What is it about a Southern accent that makes stories even better? In the video below, we see a short, but very funny, best man speech.
The best man, with a Southern accent and demeanor to the core, begins his best man speech by saying, “Tradition would dictate that this would be opportunity to bring out embarrassing stories about the groom, but I am not going to do that. For example, I will not tell the story about…”
When someone is asked to be the best man in a wedding, the initial feelings of your friend getting married and you being such a big part of it are often quickly thawed by one sobering thought: I have to give the best man speech.
To many people unaccustomed to giving a speech, much less a best man speech, the idea of speaking in front of many people brings great fear and trepidation. I am reminded of the Seinfeld joke in which he quipped:

A word of caution about your best man speech: Imitate But Do Not Duplicate.
Upon seeing the video below, I recall a wedding I attended this summer. The Best Man at this wedding did the EXACT SAME SPEECH as you see below. Of course, he changed the names and locations but he scarcely changed a word.

Sometimes you should listen to your movie store guy.
I know…many of you go to blockbuster and your movie store guy is a tweaked out teenager who would rather be skateboarding. Others of you never see your movie store guy because he is now a computer screen that reads Netflix.
All television shows make you some sort of promise.
With the first season of Californication, Showtime promised us a show about a struggling writer who beds many women and generally leads an intemperate life all in an effort to escape his true heart, which is with Karen, the mother of his daughter.
As I wrote in Californication: Showtime’s Raison d’etre, this was one hell of a first season, and the only reason that you need to get a subscription to Showtime.
When I heard the news a few weeks ago about the untimely death of LeRoi Moore, it shocked and saddened me. LeRoi is a founding member of The Dave Matthews Band. I did not know him personally but, personally, he has given me so much joy.
Really, what more can one accomplish in life? LeRoi and the DMB Band have given this joy to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. It is fair to say that the people in the picture above, all enjoying the Dave Matthews and Friends cruise, would never have had that moment were not for LeRoi Moore, founding member of the Dave Matthews band.Read More
I try to edify myself in every possible way. Today’s efforts include watching “30 Celebrity Feuds” on E.
The Feud I just watched involved the Tom Cruise “Trapped In The Closet” episode of South Park (watch below). The episode pokes fun at Scientology, Scientologists, and Tom Cruise’s gaiety. Tom Cruise apparently threatened Paramount pictures, who own South Park, saying that he would not promote the new Mission Impossible movie if Paramount allowed re-runs of this South Park episode.
As a somewhat decent uncle, I offered to take my 9 and 10 year old niece and nephew to see a movie. They chose Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
If you think HBO is the sole proprietor for outstanding, unique, irreverent, edgy material, you haven’t tuned into Californication on Showtime.
David Duchovny plays Hank Moody, a once-inspired writer who currently can’t find his voice. His life, in shambles after the separation from the mother of his only child who he is still madly in love with, is an enjoyably tragic ride of too much and too many: too many women and too much booze.
