Was thinking about the comparisons with Louis CK and the big difference is that Louis's horrible sex scenes actually have a punchline. There was no payoff to that scene, it was just "wow, they're both horrible and I didn't need to see that." And Louis seems to give a shit about the world around him, whether that's his daughters or the awesome gay neighbors who save him, etc.

eh his 'give a shit about the world' is kinda forced and self-congratulatory - let's have people call me a good father and show me being a good father on a show I write and star in
― iatee, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
yeah louis ck has a good schtick but lets not read too much into it
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:36 (twelve years ago) link
HS did you watch this show? Should I?
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 16 April 2012 18:37 (twelve years ago) link
i thought it was p funny, and people are prob making too big a deal out of it
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
its more apatow than it is meaningful
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:39 (twelve years ago) link
i am going to watch it some time this week!
xxp

apparently Louis CK's newest material features a routine on why, if you're a stand-up comic from Silver Lake, you need to get out of the game and why CK hates you.

Louie comparison leads to the question of what a gal Cassavetes would be like--gal equivalent of Husbands.
― the hairy office thing (Eazy), Monday, 16 April 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
it does?
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
i mean not that im against that question
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
All Louie comparisons are way off the mark and I imagine anyone making them has never seen/understood either show.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Monday, 16 April 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
its basically like louie but w/chix
not at all
― some dude, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
heres the pitch hbo: louie, but w/ chix, & we make fun of SaTC - no punchlines tho

― lag∞n, Monday, 16 April 2012 18:52 (twelve years ago) link

my gf has college professor parents and is 24 and was an english major

― iatee, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:47 (twelve years ago) link
oh man this show, i cant even blog abt it omg
― Masonic Butt (Lamp), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:50 (twelve years ago) link
haha did you like it or not
― iatee, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:51 (twelve years ago) link
i feel like this show would be [obscure math] times better if no one else could ever have or at the very least publish opinions about it but as is i am in a crisis/teapot rn
― Masonic Butt (Lamp), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:52 (twelve years ago) link
sorry, haven't read this thread yet but just wanted to note briefly that holy shit this show is depressing + misanthropic. the only thing i knew about it going in is that ppl were comparing it to Louie but way off. Louie has a heart and is hopeful and this is just so bitter and cruel and angry. idk if i'll keep watching it. i'm not sure i have the strength for it tbh.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:56 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno i feel like it's going for 'dark' in a way that's kind of intrinsically naive and eager-to-please
― some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:57 (twelve years ago) link
ya louis has a heart and is hopeful cause he is like a millionaire who lives in an imaginary nyc where you walk your kids to school and there's nobody on the street
― iatee, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:58 (twelve years ago) link
at some moments, but all the body-hate + food stuff going on with the protagonist is really hard to watch, and all the characters are so petty without any level of self-consciousness that would make them palatable. xp
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:59 (twelve years ago) link
damn man give em a few episodes to become full humans
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 03:00 (twelve years ago) link
iatee, i'm not sure if you're just taking shots at louie, or defending girls as somehow more authentic in tone + style than it? bc a) the quality of either show is disconnected from how much misanthropy i'm personally willing to subject myself to (it's why i don't watch breaking bad anymore) and b) i don't think girls shows a more real nyc
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 03:01 (twelve years ago) link
lol ok
― Masonic Butt (Lamp), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 03:02 (twelve years ago) link
the characters are definitely unsympathetic in a way that goes beyond the deliberate she-took-the-cleaning-lady's-money stuff, but i dunno, women be having self-esteem/body image issues? that's pretty commonplace
― some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 03:02 (twelve years ago) link
let's not separate Dunham and CK into separate economic classes - they're both showrunners, they're both rich (or will be soon)
but yeah based on this pilot at least Louie is roughly 10000x better
