jeezus man, btwn this and the 3 silent features you've seen, put down the puzzles.

Not sure what you're objecting to there -- that I haven't seen SATC or that I'm biased against something I haven't seen? I'm sure there's plenty of quality TV you've missed, and I *know* you prejudge stuff all the time.
(Also, lol @ "put down the puzzles" as a zing. Pretty much the only time I solve crossword puzzles is on my commute. Would you rather I be watching silent films on my iPod?)

Yeah, that was rough.
The scene at her internship was what I didn't like about Tiny Furniture, the back and forth is already stilted and it's not helped by the way she shoots.

I actually think it's a great idea for a show!
I just think it's so stupid that since it's about "real hipsters" and not "2 Broke Girls hipsters" or whatever, everyone on Twitter has to have an opinion about where they fit into the narrative.

this show is utterly fucking shit and god fuck all these people with their fucking lives and opinions and their ham-fisted attempts at comedy i mean seriously let me know if a cannon shoots out the support of a guard tower and Lena Dunham falls out and then maybe we can talk about Real F-ing Comedy.

I think I like the idea of show, gen limboy, but I have only read about it and not watched it, but I am afraid if I watch it I will stop liking it
that it's SATC influenced seems worrying? SATC's only virtue is that it will merit a lot of analysis in whatever 'fall of the american empire' tome is written in 50 years
― iatee, Monday, 16 April 2012 13:24 (twelve years ago) link
how exactly is this 'satc' influenced' anyway. four women? that's it? four women. they all look alike huh.
― goole, Monday, 16 April 2012 13:25 (twelve years ago) link
well it's more like it's being groomed as the anti-SATC (complete with deliberately eye-rolling SATC references in the pilot) than that it's influenced by it, to be fair
it was aight but really, i dunno that this is much better than, like, Garden State

The 2nd and 3rd seasons of S&TC were quite funny btw, before SJP swallowed the show.

In your pilot, you have overt references to Sex in the City. Obviously, you’re writing about four young women friends in New York City. Do you see Girls as sort of a response or reaction or a tribute to SATC? Was it just something that naturally these characters would reference themselves in comparison to? That was sort of the first thought was that Shoshanna [Zosia Mamet's character] would have moved to New York because of Sex in the City. And a lot of these girls, even Hannah who might make fun of the girl who were the “I’m a Carrie” T-shirt, part of the reason she came to New York is clearly because she thought she was a Carrie. It’s almost like not only is this a show that talks about Sex and the City, these are women who couldn’t exist without Sex and the City. And I sort of wanted to reference that, honor it and get it out of the way. But I was sensitive about that Sex in the City reference. I was scared when I sent the pilot to HBO that they’d be offended or find it to be too meta, and they told us that it was a big reason that they picked up the pilot. They liked the fact that we were the first script about women that had commented on Sex in the City and took the issue head on.

the first episode went fast and had some promising stuff, but all the characters who weren't the leads were painted pretty broadly and unsympathetically. Found it really disturbing to have the mom from Freaks & Geeks being such a contemptuous monster with no explanation.
― da croupier, Monday, 16 April 2012 13:56 (twelve years ago) link
so her 3 co-stars are the daughters of David Mamet, Brian Williams and the Bad Company drummer? Worth boycotting for that alone.

well that's not an entirely unrealistic portrait of williamsburg, as long as they play themselves
― iatee, Monday, 16 April 2012 13:59 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the show felt very much like 'every character who is not played by the writer/director is a cardboard cutout,' except for maybe the one other girl who kind of scolded the other girl in the bathroom. it was a pilot, though, presumably those people would need time to get fleshed out.
