The show always only shows a brief token clip of all of Vince’s movies. That’s one of the things I love about it – it’s always focused on the great characters and not the fictional world its in.
And, one more thing. I am Queens Boulevard.
[sub]Seriously. I used to live right near there.[/sub]
Definitely.
But, take Aquaman. We only got to see one or two scenes. We only know it beat *Spiderman *because they told us it did.
I’m always waiting for the show to throw a curve ball, though. It might be cool if Medellin is a total bomb. They definitely like the happy endings, though.
What looks likely is that Medellin is a critical success, but a commercial bomb (it’s subtitled after all). Perhpas even earning Vinnie an Oscar nom.
That would certainly be the most realistic outcome, as well as the most dramatically interesting.
Huge hit = lots of money = the entourage starts to drift apart = either the show is over or they artifically keep the boys together. Not very satisfying.
Critically lambasted + box office failure = Vince’s career is over = same as above. Plus Ari may dump Vince, and the show can’t survive without that character.
But…
Critical success + middling performance at the box office (just breaking even) means Vince’s career is still limping along, the boys hang tight because they know they were able to pull it off once, barely, and now they want to give it another shot. Plus, Ari will grudgingly give them their props (“yeah you made a pretty good movie”) but will have leverage for pushing on commercial prospects (“now let’s go make some money”). Oh, and if big brother, god forbid, starts to get more successful than Vince, not enormously so but enough to get some bragging rights, then we’ve got some great possibilities for drama. Or, rather, Drama drama. 
If they’re interested in the long term prospects for the show, they’ll go with the third option. It’s the most complicated, and has the richest storytelling possibilities, with tons of conflict.
And for what it’s worth, I liked the EPK format of this last show. It wasn’t executed particularly well, but it worked as a one-time break from standard format and was a very clever way to breeze through a couple of months of “show time.” Plus, the exploration of the Walsh character made it worthwhile. Totally plausible off-his-rocker film artist.
I still want to see some scenes from Viking Quest.
VICTORY!
Of course we do, I just didn’t want to pass up an opportunity to be critical…
Yeah, especially Turtle.
