Life imitates art imitating life
Hey gang, I'm just poking my head out of my vacation fog (it's going very well, by the way) on account of I saw the weirdest thing over at AICN, and it seemed to bear repeating. I'll start from the beginning:
For those of you who aren't familiar with HBO's Entourage, it's a half-hour comedy produced by Mark Wahlberg based on his own experiences as a young actor. The Swingers-esque story is of four dudes who are recent Queens-to-LA emigres, one of whom is on his way to Hollywood megastar status.
So, this season's arc centers on Vincent (the Wahlberg proxy) trying to play Aquaman in James Cameron's Aquaman pic. Here's the weird part: as a direct result of this, Cameron is now actually thinking of doing Aquaman, and he's talking to Mark Wahlberg to play the lead.
This is what folklorists call pseudo-ostention. But it's what I call baaad juju--especially since if all of this were true, Cameron would be racing Marvel's long-discussed Sub-Mariner flick to theaters.
Also, when the new Bonny [sic]/Sweeney EP came out, the guy who played Vince was next to me at the Kim's counter. He's shorter than you'd think, which is awesome.
