Girlish Gambino

man she looks SO happy to be hanging with him

weird how there hadnt been many paparazzi shots of girls until the day when donald glover was on set

I HATE THIS BECAUSE (EXTERNALITIES)

this motto shd be displayed over gateway to internet

haha yeah thats a good one

the "externalities" part should be spoken in a booming voice-of-god reverb

Who is that person?

donald glover aka childish gambino aka a voice of a generation

i just saw peter's scolari

omg

i'll never be able to like this character now that i know she backs into parking spaces

great episode

otm

Hungry4Ass otm

"class of 06"

I will continue watching this show only if they promise to never say that out loud again.

This Adam guy, I like him. No idea why. Pharmacy guy looked like the pale weird guy from Twilight. Lovely episode!

oh and loooooooool at the benefit. Pretty Girl Rock performance was A+

Adam seems much less hateful now.

yeah I'm not sure how bc he's still pretty much the same as when we met him. maybe that's why? like, he just "is".

the tao of adam or some bullshit

We see more of Dunham liking him? Being into the seemingly creepo shit he was pulling during sex?

true. lol @ her sticker finger up pharmacy boy's butt

By this point if Adam ever puts a shirt on or leaves his apartment it'll seem really weird.

feel like any time ive tried to pursue quirky seemingly-mismatched relationships where im also somewhat curious about what a person's deal is, my initial instincts were right & we were in fact mismatched

not saying this doesn't work in this show, but that it contrasts w/ my experiences or something

anyway good ep

disappointing guest appearance from luka modric this week

I would still like to see this programme.

omg scolari peen!

We just saw a different side of Adam, I think. The one that clues us into why she likes him.

those of you pitching a bitch about how horrible and evil the mom was for wanting to not bankroll hannah's ongoing peter pan syndrome might want to take a step back

haha yeah i was wondering what miccio thought of sundays ep

I wondered the same thing.

I was getting so IA with Hannah bcz the whole time she was talking to that coffee girl I was like YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING THAT PRESCRIPTION FOR YOUR MOTHER, YOUNG LADY, QUIT LOLLYGAGGING and then I realized that I am lol old

her mom was in agony for fuck's sake! she shoulda been moving faster!
this ep felt STUPID real to me; i remember the visiting the small town ohmygod what am i even doing here shit
"i'm home home, like i'm looking at a goo goo dolls poster right now"

I can't remember any of the lines but that pep-talk she gave herself in the mirror was pretty funny

good scolari woody allen impresh

"you're from new york, so you're just naturally more interesting than anyone else"
^we really do believe this btw

"the worst things that you say are better than anything that other people say"

No, you're not. She's pretty awful to her parents a lot of the time in a way that makes me cringe. I mean I know that teenagers go through stuff but at 24 you would think she could stop being a complete bitch to two people who obviously love her a lot.

I think there's some kind of crossover point, or there was for me: in college etc you're just so on your own trip and why is everyone making life so difficult and ugh everything and your parents end up in the firing line of that logic and then, I dunno, somewhere in my late 20's/30's I look back and I'm just like, ugh I can't believe I did those things to my parents.

nothing quite as awful, but you know all that unthinking stuff of you say you're coming home for the weekend and then spend all your time drinking with friends when they had hoped to spend time with you etc

Yeah, I definitely did some of that too but I think I'd mostly outgrown that by 24. Also, she just seems to have a really shitty attitude with them like 90% of the time.

definitely. are they both her parent-parents, or is the mom her step-mother?

that's totally her birthmother. the quick edit shots are meant to reflect their similar appearance.

that's what I thought but I thought there was some step-parent thing somewhere. or I'm wrong.

besides it's the Freaks and Geeks mom, how could you ever be mean to her?

So OTM. My dad had a big stroke when I was 22, after which point he basically couldn't talk in any detail. At 22 I was still in the above-noted mode, by the time I grew up enough to want to ask my folks lots of questions about their pasts etc, he couldn't do that. Regretz.

sorry if that's an overshare btw, it's just what vgrrl's observation made me think of...

I think the worst thing I ever did was tell my parents I wanted to have my 21st birthday at home in the big shed in the backyard. So Mum & Dad did all this work - I drove down with my friends like, 2 hours before the party, didn't do a thing to help, we kept them up most of the night with drunken shenanigans...and then we all piled in the car left the next afternoon, after lunch.

I sure as shit hope I said thank you.

Sure this has must have been mentioned already but got a huge sense of Girls as a kind of fantasy sequel to Freaks and Geeks from this week's episode: from the casting of Becky Ann Baker as the mum to the Michigan hometown and suburban hinterland to the Apatow co-write - all very different to the shameless autobiography of Tiny Furniture. Found myself thinking - well, is Hannah how Lindsay would have turned out after college?

Pleased to see that David Thomson is also a fan, though I'm not sure he needed to bring in the Kane gang: http://www.tnr.com/article/film/103526/lena-dunham-girls-hbo-tiny-furniture-youth-economy
