GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

They say living well is the best revenge, but sometimes writing well is even better.

otoh, this is a killer line

I don't watch much TV, but strangely I have watched most episodes of HBO's new series Girls.

James Franco should stick to acting.

Fictional Hannah thanks u for your advice James Franco.

thanking Stevie for introducing me to Grimes. <3 Canada

this show is so great, and has improved with each episode. and john cook is just the worst, such a bad writer with such a pointlessly spiteful take on the show, a total embarrassment. like i said here or on the gawker thread a few weeks back, he needs a decent editor, not to tell him how to rewrite his dreck, but just to tell him to stop.

Should we email his boss and let him know this is happening bcz seriously it's *really* bad

your GIRLS fans HATE this one gawker dick

"taking Obama to the White House"

Lesley Arfin, writer of the HBO show Girls, in her blog, has a metaphor for “pooping”.

Awww everyone involved in making this show just seems so charming.

discussed way upthread during the 1000 or so posts that happened before the 1st episode aired

That Franco article was like that one good last line and then every line before it (read backwards) is a little bit worse and worse and worse.

The Adam character jiu-jitsu is kind of amazing.

I caught the end of tiny furniture last night
I think she's pretty talented but I have no interest in spending time with characters in her milieu
It looked (visually) a lot better than I thought it would

still haven't seen, but hot/not hot debate over this Shirtless Adam guy is as instructive about what passes for telegenic male objects of desire these days as things written about Dunham are for women.

so…medium?

this ep was horrible

thought the Adam/Lena stuff was fantastic, could have done without VC threeway

Viet Cong / Venture Capital / Valley Chick?

Two of those things mentioned in this episode actually.

Yeah, don't think the three way thing worked very well (though lol at Chris O'Dowd as a Venture Capitalist decrying how shitty it is to move to Williamsburg and be surrounded by jobless kids of rich people).

Adam/Hannah stuff was really great though.

Chris O'Dowd speaking American gave me the jibblies

the girls were fine - tho no shoshanna, :( - but what accent was chris o'dowd attempting there?

ya it seemed to be everywhere. but i thought his creepy pathetic breakdown was great even if wildly over the top.

adam is the best.

loving this show more and more

i thought the VC scene was well-acted which saved it

Yeah Chris o dowd meltdown was p funny, also the SONGS with the children hahah.

Loved Adam/Hannah

three way was sorta meh, adam/hannah is a very familiar very crazy stupid kinda love
it is kinda odd how i always think he's capable of killing her
or peeing on her
and then he did one
so to speak
intrsting curveball finale: adam kills hannah with a bowling ball, hides body in floorboard, show goes on mostly the same

he'd probably build a replica viking funeral bier and set it afloat on the river for her

I assume vikings did that sort of thing

'Slave to Love' with bird/monkey screeches A+

and they were such spot-on song choices for THAT guy

don't really KNOW that guy? felt like a pastiche/strawman to me.

I didn't think too hard on it, it felt funny to me

Also valid

you guys are referring to some Irish comedian like he's a huge global star?

I don't think anyone did that? He was the romantic lead in one of the biggest comedies of recent years though

i had never heard of him

wouldn't have guessed he was irish even if the accent was strange

he's Roy on The IT Crowd!

^^^^

i trust that worked out well for him

I've heard of The IT Crowd, yeah, have never seen it; prob has a devoted US cult of 50,000.

Not much more than Britain then.

i trust that worked out well for him

Well yeah, in that he was the romantic lead in one of the biggest comedies of recent years.

haven't seen Bridesmaids either, was that a big role?

PAGING DR MORBS: TUOMAS HAS HACKED YR ACCOUNT

feel like i've totally outflanked morbs cuz i haven't even heard of bridesmaids

also i suspect i have seen more hou hsaio hsien films than morbs too

the main thing is rory is cuet
