people really care that you're Bad Company's Drummer's Daughter?

da croupier, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:45 (fourteen years ago)

well it doesn't play into the narrative if she doesn't have a famous parent as well

they care enough to make it a punchline in an apparently controversial joke poster (xpost)

Tiny Furniture is not as bad as the first Strokes album, true

oh, was this iron man 2? lulz

ohhhhh, I thought it was Air America (which I clearly haven't seen) - couldn't figure out what Vince Vaughn had to do with it

1. Have a mom who makes interactive dollhouses.
2. ?
3. Profit.

polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:48 (fourteen years ago)

My friend's dad used to play drums in the Interactive Dollhouses.

only lolsy to bring up Bad Company because of Dunham's quote "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."

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:49 (fourteen years ago)

oh man

da croupier, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:50 (fourteen years ago)

really want someone to make the iron man 2 version of that poster

max, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:51 (fourteen years ago)

Lloyd Bridges's son isn't in Iron Man 2.

polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

guys it's iron man 1, jeff bridges isn't in 2, the possibly less privileged mickey rourke and sam rockwell are

da croupier, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

lots of occupations run in families!

goole, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

Flashing back to Marc Maron and Mindy Kaling talking about living near Harvard Square, going into butt-sniffing detail block by block for 15 minutes in order to judge whether she was privileged or legit.

caro's johnson (Eazy), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

actually rockwell was the son of actors and Mickey's dad was an amateur body builder IS THERE ANYONE IN HOLLYWOOD WHO DID NOT HAVE AN UNFAIR LEG UP MY GOD

da croupier, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:53 (fourteen years ago)

Sam Rockwell has been living off Somebody's Watching Me royalties for years.

polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

lol

I do agree w/ L.D. that Brian Williams' work in TV "news" relies entirely on "the creative process."

World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:55 (fourteen years ago)

since it's a show about privileged kids from upper + upper-middle-class families, i think it's pretty understandable that the actors/writers/creators are from a similar background?

Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:02 (fourteen years ago)

David Crosa and J.T. Leroy are the only honest men left.

caro's johnson (Eazy), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:02 (fourteen years ago)

Acting is a trade, like cobbling or blacksmithing.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:04 (fourteen years ago)

literally nobody is outraged that the show did not sufficiently audition actresses of blue collar parentage, it's just something funny to talk about, it wouldn't even be a talking point if all four of the leads didn't each have a parent in show biz

some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:04 (fourteen years ago)

It's called acting, Dustin, dear boy.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:06 (fourteen years ago)

literally nobody

Lamp, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:12 (fourteen years ago)

well ok there's an angry blog post somewhere about every aspect of this show, i'm sure. but nobody in this thread, probably not the guy who made the poster even.

some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:13 (fourteen years ago)

figuratively nobody

polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:14 (fourteen years ago)

unanimity that NBC News is showbiz is grand

World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:24 (fourteen years ago)

it's just that nobody gives 2 shits about your pithy social commentary to respond to it one way or the other actually

some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 21:25 (fourteen years ago)
