One Day in the Valley

"One Day in the Valley"

"One Day in the Valley" is an episode from Season 3 of the dramedy television series Entourage.

Plot

It's "Aquaman's" opening day and the pressure is on. Initial box office projections, already "Titanic"-sized, get even higher after the first East Coast numbers stream in, giving everyone hope that the film has a chance to pass "Spider-Man" as the biggest opening weekend in history. To avoid getting recognized, Vince and the boys decide to take in a showing in the Valley, but the 100 degree heat sets blackouts and unsure West Coast numbers. The bouncing box office receipts and the heat push everyone to the brink, so to unwind, the crew ends up crashing a high school party, where Vince gets to live out his "Almost Famous" fantasy. When Ari finally finds them - a drunken Vince celebrating on a rooftop - he breaks the big news: "Aquaman" is back on track to break the weekend box office record.

Trivia

• This episode contains numerous references to the 2000 Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous, which features a scene where a famous rock star attends a high school party.
• Ari refers to Spider-Man as the 'Web Crawler'. This is not one of the character's nicknames, but an almaglamtion of the nicknames 'Wall Crawler' & both 'Web Swinger' & 'Web Head'
