they going for the banshee, entourage, young teen, young adult, sports loving MALE type of crowd :yeshrug:


flashy cars, sexy women, fukking, fights, money, parties, the nfl lifestyle.. THAT'S IT :wow:

i don't have any type of high expectations for plot and deep story... it's pure fukkery brehs

These mods just refuse to let Jurassic World die down huh? :shaq2:

I think movie threads should only get a sticky for the first week......UNLESS they blockbusters

Jurassic World is the highest grossing movie of all time and it's made close to a billion dollars in it's first two weeks. That's a blockbuster.

I do agree about the plot...I hope they don't overthink it.

According to NBCSports.com, controversy is already brewing around The Rock’s new series “Ballers,” which premiered this past Sunday night on HBO.

In a new “Pro Football Talk” article, Mike Florio claims neither the NFL nor the Miami Dolphins, a team around which the debut episode is centered, have commented on the show using official NFL team names and logos in scenes.

The article says HBO might be under the impression that they can legally use the team name and logos, despite claims made suggesting HBO would require permission first.

i still don't think it's on the level of a comedy :yeshrug:


like i said... more like fukkery.. like entourage... funny.. some laughs in there... but mostly hot rich shyt, hot bytches, hot cars, fast life was/is the main attraction


nobody is watching this or entourage thinking... wow they are trying to be martin, or seinfeld, or always sunny... jokes after jokes, funny ass people doing shyt

this is one of those dramedy shyts that they try and make a real story and sprinkle in some funny laughs... hbo does list it as a comedy but i'm not seeing the jokey jokey type stuff here of a comedy

Da fukk does "level of a comedy" mean? :heh:

It's supposed to be funny. Ari Gold chewing out his gay assistant with a bunch of one liners is meant to be funny. The escapades of Johnny Drama are supposed to be funny. There's no gray area here. It's def a comedy, and so is this show.

fukkery is expected in Empire, but it's no comedy, it's a drama
