I really can't take Billy Walsh any more. Seriously. And Anna Ferris's boyfriend was equally annoying.
I remember when this show used to be fun.

I believe that both Vince and E thought Medellin was a good script. Vince has wanted to do Medellin since before Aquaman.Rob Helmerichs said:
Do they even have a studio willing to do the distribution for the movie? I want Medellin to be successful but I'm just not sure that's possible. Of course, every Hollywood star is allowed a couple bombs in the box office. With Vince, however, he seems to have his priorities all mixed up.
They both loved the script, but E hated the cut by Billy where Vince loved it. If it bombs, it will show Vince that he needs to listen to E. Of course E will be too busy with Anna (either as manager,boyfriend or both) to give Vince the attention he needs.Sirius Black said:

I'm not sure that "perfectly" is a great description here. If E had been there, they might have ended up ditching Billy (a great idea) and going with the new director using the original concept, Clouds (which was Ari's original idea, but he couldn't sell without E's support).Rob Helmerichs said:
Instead they are committed to this new script which neither Dana nor Ari has read. And Vince has shown in the past that he doesn't have the best judgment on scripts. So for all we know this script is horrible.
And it's looking like Medellin will be a bomb. So if Medellin tanks and all support for Vince/Walsh disappears, and they have a script with problems, that's not exactly a great situation.

I like Billy. The fact that some people dislike him so much really just makes me like him more. The show needs someone to stir the pot.
I thought the episode was alright. You could see that Anna's boyfriend was going to be a giant bag of ****** from 10 miles away though.
This episode was really just for starting the conflicts that will happen with E taking on another client when it relates to Vince needing him.
I think that E and Anna will start a "romantic" relationship now, and as previously predicted, it will all come to a head in the season finale.

I don't know that people watch the show for its stunning realism.
AFAIK, Billy's really only worked with Vince and crew, especially in semi-recent history. He doesn't want to be a big star, wants to remain an "indie" type director...it doesn't seem THAT far-fetched.
Highlight of the most recent episode was definitely "Shut the f*** up, Lloyd!"

There are quite a few crazier examples.Anubys said:
Tony Kaye comes to mind:

I have also heard stories about how stubborn and megalomanical Paul Thomas Anderson can be... and given his relationship with Entourage's exec producer (and inspiration?) Mark Wahlberg ... directing him in his breakout role, Boogie Nights, it stands to reason that perhaps Billy is based on some sliver of truth...

You'll also notice that Tony Kaye's antics basically had him drummed out of the business. Billy Walsh keeps doing incredibly annoying things and keeps landing on his feet thanks to Vince and E. It has to stop!!Fofer said:
I think they drew a lot of inspiration for Billy from Vincent Gallo, who is supposed to be damn near that obnoxious.
Well, in his defense, they *were* dating at the time.TAsunder said:
But I do think Vincent Gallo's "merchandise for sale" page is pretty obnoxious:
