How often, in movies or television, do you see autoeroticism incorporated into a scene of two people having sex?
Yeah, really, there should be some place where we can see dudes jerking off onto women after sex. At the least, it'd be a good addition to porn. Hey wait a minute ...
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 17 May 2012 11:55 (twelve years ago) link
pretty sure it happens more often than implied

this piece on women & sex & owning it openly - http://jezebel.com/5911023/rihanna-does-whatever-she-wants-with-her-vagina-and-for-some-reason-thats-a-problem - made me think of this thread

"But more importantly, Rihanna is very famous, kind of bonkers, and completely unfiltered. She behaves exactly like any average 24-year-old does (plus a million billion dollars)"
the thing is that the "characters" on Girls are more like people than most tv or movie characters, so much so that even a mention of "that didn't seem in character for her" is kind of hilarious to me because much of this show (all of this show?) is about how young people figure out and play with who they are as people - which funnily enough kind of involves trying on many different "characters"

Hannah propositioning her boss didn't seem that weird to me. Jessa told her she should do it for the story and, as a writer, she was probably figuring why the hell not? That's the sort of thing you think/do at 24 especially when a glamorous, cool, foreign chick who you probably sorta emulate just a little tells you it's a good idea.

btw two of my friends apologized to me last night after making fun of me for liking this show which they'd dismissed after the first 10 mins of episode one. They wound up watching 4 back to back last night and were like, uh, yeah so sorry about that!

girl i'm dating FLATLY REFUSES to watch one minute of this show after sitting through the first episode and starts an argument with me about how bad it is any time I mention that i'm enjoying it. she's pretty adamant about it!but she loves game of thrones so we compromise.

weird. i love both shows, but game of thrones feels much more like a dumbhead guilty pleasure

this show is great. i am deeply suspicious of those who make such a big deal of hating on it.

i mean i totally understanding not "getting" it or it not being your cup of tea, but actually having a big issue with it?
I am 'getting' the characters more and more and it still makes me laugh so whatever...

i think bc of a few factors (the kind of coverage it has gotten, its zeitgeistiness, her 'voice of generation' comment, etc) ppl have felt implicated by the depiction of characters in the show. so there's a lot of defensiveness around it. most non-millenials i've spoken to who dislike it are more blase 'it was boring' about it. millenials feel repulsed tho, which is kinda understandable.
― Mordy, Thursday, 17 May 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
i know a couple of woman who find the show depressing, which translates for them as a kind of hate, but have only watched a bit of ep 1. they'll come around...
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 17 May 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
yeah women i'm talking about are millenials. either hits a bit close to home or they're like 'fuck these girls, i'm not them'
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 17 May 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
so i guess that makes me happy re: this show to be lower-end-gen-x and a sometimes tragically observational writer type

oh, that makes sense. lol, i'm old, so it never even occurred to me that people might relate to it in that way. i just get to laugh at other people's problems.

Even with all that I find it difficult to understand strong feelings about this show one way or the other. It's just a group of post-college young people in New York who say funny things but otherwise don't do much of anything. What's there to feel strongly about?
I always envisioned 20 somethings living in NYC as being a lot better looking and more hip than these squares.

i am usually pretty susceptible to I HATE THIS BECAUSE [EXTERNALITIES] kinds of feelings, so i've been making an effort to not do that w/ this, and it seems to be working because i've happily watched every episode and recommended it to people. i laugh more at it than i laugh at most shows.

Oh, I am too with certain things and the two I mentioned DEFINITELY are. That's why they came back and sheepishly apologized. It got kind of heated last weekend because I was totally incredulous at their level of hate and dismissal after TEN MINUTES especially coming from a pair with some pretty fucking questionable taste in television.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 18 May 2012 11:12 (twelve years ago) link
I can see people hating something that seems to hit close to home, but sometimes it's even easier to hate something that comes close to hitting that mark, but fails on some account. I think in my past I've been very guilty of the latter.
