Last night on Entourage, after yet another episode of hemming and hawing over the fate of the Most Important Movie Of All Time, Medellin, we were treated to the full-length trailer for Vince’s vanity film, a gimmicky little trick on HBO’s part that would have been great had it not completely negated everything everyone said about it during the show. THIS reheated “coke cowboy” story, in which Pablo Escobar resembles Andy Kaufman’s lounge act persona Tony Clifton, is supposed to be what all the buzz is about? Jeffery Katzenberg watched this and recalled “seeing Jamie Foxx in the trailer for Ray and knowing he’d get an Oscar nomination”? Also, perhaps most disconcerting, is the MedellinTheFilm.com link (last I checked, the site’s still not working) at the end of the trailer suggesting HBO might have bigger, yet even more retarded plans for this movie within the show. Could they be trying to turn Entourage into the biggest movie marketing scheme of all time?
