GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

well there's this

http://www.streetbonersandtvcarnage.com/blog/the-lynching-of-lesley-arfin-what-really-happened/

Summary? I am sort of swamped for the rest of the day.

do you really need a summary other than "someone used the word 'lynching' to describe widespread criticism of a white person using racially insensitive language"

"racial mccarthyism," huh

who is mr goad?

kinda wanted to make a mr. goad's wild ride joek

brb, trademarking the phrase "white scare"

something very poetically gross about a lena dunham thread becoming a gavin mcinnes thread in 2012

"Gawker.com has also killed their comments section and come up with a new system where people have to register and be culpable for what they say. Gawker’s even given it the politically incorrect moniker “Pow-Wow.” (My family is 75% American Indian, by the way, and we are furious about this misappropriation.)"

god i know

xp

the number of times i've had occasion to think "fucking gavin mcinnes" in the past few weeks is just not right

at first i thought this would be about john cook's hatorade double-down in his 2nd recap. guessed wrong!

is this all enough to juice for another 1500 posts?

u young ppl sure love seein' yerselves on the teevee.

The beta males on Twitter seem confused by this “Racial McCarthyism” quote. It’s ironic that the people who use “Nazi” to mean “Anything bad” get thrown off by an anti-communist being used to conjure up something that isn’t specifically anti-communist. Check Wikipedia

“McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence.”

does he mean ironic-ironic or alanis-ironic

haha beta males

he should make a workout dvd

i'm gonna start calling shirtless creepy Girls character whose name noone can remember "alpha"

do you really need a summary other than "someone used the word 'lynching' to describe widespread criticism of a white person using racially insensitive language"

― some dude

yeah seriously, barffff

who is this actor who plays the repellent idiot-or-asshole BF? Sounds like he is on the cusp of becoming a generational icon.

xp - Face the mirror and repeat "Every day, in every way, I am not Gavin McInnes"

xp i hope not

huh

sad to say he's not Minnie Driver's brother (NEPOTISM) but an ex-military dude who went to juliard

well if he got cast as Louis in Angels in America he must have chops.

Using the construct "I sort of know (person). Let's have him moderate a live discussion where I prove how much you suck at talking about (thing)" is now on my bucket list.

no offense to max or anyone else, but nonsense like this is why i basically avoid all commercially funded blogs or companies masquerading as blogs

just ilx, singles jukebox and the salvation army website for me, yep

oh man you're on SAWdate too

I'm trying to remember the names of the male & female Vice pair I had drinks with a couple years ago...

Also, serious question after browsing the C'list Brooklyn apartment ads today: who the FUCK can afford Greenpoint?

haha, ok, a little investigation confirms that yes I have met her.

queens awaits you morbs

that GQ Drake article is pretty awesome + o_O

god, fuck Gavin McInnes

Gavin McInnes being a fully-developed conservative douchebag at this point is kind of like the writer/directors of The Matrix seeing that people liked their film and then expanding on and developing the parts people found stupid and distasteful.

Only Vice magazine was not as good as the first Matrix film

people who were excited about vice or the matrix in the first place deserve whatever embarrassment they get imo

they had some pretty ok moments I guess

Momus was in both, iirc

lol

Well, I'm caught up - to the first episode.

like a realistic version of people being bad at drugs like when he asks his gf if its ok to have some opium T

I though that was just he was cautious that he doesn't want to embarrass his awesome girlfriend, whereas she is thinking "Please please do something actually embarrassing so that I can dump you w/a clear conscience" (though that scenario doesn't work for her as she ends up hiding in the bedroom then the toilet from him).

I liked the English girl because a) science shows I like English girls, but also she wasn't Shosanna Mamet and she was graceful when SM kept wittering on about this show that the English girl has already said she has never watched!

Terrible pilot: 1000 posts
Good episode: +/- 50?

a) don't know if you notice, that's how things go b) 500 of those posts were from before the episode aired!

looooool @ "Check Wikipedia"

it will be everyone's new favorite show and they will forget that they had a problem with it. now there will be east coast - west coast rap wars between portlandia and girls fans.

Saw that funny, self aware post on Gawker - "we're shitting on the wrong show" - that "Veep" topped "Girls" in the ratings. Shows the value of hype.

"Veep" has an established TV star.

veeps audience is also much more "grownups" who buy hbo, watch in real time, etc

Pretty sure "a name" is the decisive factor. If you recommend some kind of art film to a Regular American, I understand the most common response is "Who's in it?"

totally read that second sentence in a mr spock voice

veep is also way better than this crapola

this is better but i'm looking forward to more episodes of veep more
