it's more specifically about a paralysis women of a certain privilege experience wrt work, in part because they haven't been acculturated to valuing their own labor, taking making money as a goal, etc.
I weep for them.

look i followed that by saying i understand it can be offputting. i also think this undervaluing of labor affects not-rich women fwiw, though they obviously have less freedom to go unemployed.

One likely criticism of the series is that it dwells on privileged white-girl problems; in fact, its core cast members are all famous people's kids. (Williams' dad is newsman Brian Williams, Mamet's is playwright David Mamet, and Kirke's is Simon Kirke, drummer in the classic rock band Bad Company.) Asked about the casting, Dunham says, "The only thing that would make it not a coincidence is that they came in with a preternatural willingness to play and an understanding of the creative process that probably comes from being raised around it."

There’s also a scene in one of the episodes where a guy says to one of the characters, “The first time I fuck you I might scare you a little, because I’m a man, and I know how to do things,” and it’s supposed to be a huge turn-on.Somebody actually said that line to me, only afterward he was like, “That’s the thing my friend who works at Vice magazine taught me.” And I was like, the best way to negate the hot thing you just said is to end it with, that’s the thing my friend at Vice magazine told me.

oh nevermind, I was gonna harp on that but then I noticed it was a phrase used by a character and not like an actual argument. I guess I enjoy petty inter-neighborhood fighting.

just saw 'tiny furniture' and was shocked by how much i liked it. i hate this sort of film, as a general rule, but the gradual shift in tone completely won me over. it was scathing and observant without being mean-spirited. in an odd way, it reminded me more of bresson than woody allen. (not that it's really much like either.)
i'm kinda floored that a couple of ppl here found it poorly directed -- i thought it was incredibly well-crafted, every shot beautifully composed. light-years ahead of someone like miranda july.

can we wait til she has more than one film?

she's got a tv series starting Sunday morbs. by the end of it she'll have more output than July.

― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 14 April 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
i'm going to finally watch Tiny Furniture tonight. Surely it can't be worse than a Miranda July film. Surely.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Saturday, 14 April 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
as opposed to the inescapably huge national roll-outs of Miranda July's work. xpost
plus you can watch the first episode and write it off even without HBO. Perfect!
