GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

xxp She was.

yes that was pretty obvious but i had a double-think on it.

oh n/m the dimness of the pictures made me just assume it was her, sorry

i think i knew who was in the pictures the first time, forgot when i re-watched part of that episode today

Dunham could have eliminated the possible confusion by casting the new gf as a black woman.

lol

should've cast donald glover as his new girlfriend

I watched "Tiny Furniture" a year or so ago and still think about the mom. The way she'd pause, evaluate, then say "I don't care", not in a dismissive way, but as absolution. "I read your diary." *pause* "I don't care". Dunham writes her adult-adults well and I miss them in Hannah's world.

The parents made "The Return" the best ep, for me.

Me too.

I mainlined this show this week and fell in love with Adam, christ. Except my weird crush started pretty much in the first episode, because I am creepy & gross. :) I suspect I'm not alone in saying he's a lot like a blend of my first few boyfriends out of high school, so it felt right. Loved the line about 'You chase me like I'm the Beatles.' Oh god, and 'Mexican teenager' and just in general the 'come upstairs' and 'Okay let's go fuck' kinda of lines. "Would you fuck four year old me? But I'm only two" was SO GOOD for how uncomfortable it made Marnie look.

Many things have been covered, I won't rehash, but in general I'm really happy to have the chance to watch these people (except Marnie, who is truly the worst, even if she does have a job). Weird use of Chris O'Dowd but I guess it's good for him to play against type! This show also made me realize that the lady who plays weeddad's wife and Ana Gasteyer are not the same people. Also, Bobby Moynihan! Weird, but hey - he was probably his least annoying ever.

r. in our fanfic I drown them in a river, lol

otm <3 When she wrote three different tweets then deleted all to put that trite out of context sentence of Jessa's (All adventurous women do?) I just wanted to punch her. And unfollow the girls I know who do shit like this. Also, every young woman should know how to sleep on the subway with your goddamn valuables tucked away.. moron.

if you get the tiny furniture criterion dvd you should watch 'creative nonfiction' it's pretty good

This show also made me realize that the lady who plays weeddad's wife and Ana Gasteyer are not the same people.

yeah i feel bad for Gasteyer that Kathryn Hahn kinda came out of nowhere as an actress who is her doppelganger but in some strange way many times more attractive

so i watched the rest of the season annnnndddd, yeah, it's just really good. it owns

kathryn hahn is my mother's doppelganger

flopson can i get your mother email why because she look intersting

and seems nice

i just caught Creative Nonfiction - really good! i hadn't expected it, or hadn't expected it to operate in the way it does. the Bujalski-esque almost unwatchably well-observed conversational dynamics of graduating adolescents are so good.

yeah i feel bad for Gasteyer that Kathryn Hahn kinda came out of nowhere as an actress who is her doppelganger but in some strange way many times more attractive

This is so otm, and pretty much exactly what I thought during her Parks & Rec run.

lena in the poster in the orig post looks literally nothing like she looks on the show

was in a convo @ a bar the other day where a couple was playfully arguing & the dude said to his gf 'but i dvr'd 'girls' for you!'

saw they're shooting this outside of Roberta's, expect more Bushwick shenanigans!

Kind of surprised that the Mail knows the word 'zaftig', particularly since the word doesn't (as I understand it) particularly hate women.

I had never heard that term before. Word of the day.

$3.7 mil, huh.

if only there were some other thread we were talking about that on

i figure there was, but didn't care to look.

Good move imo

i am prepared to defend many aspects of the generation-defining millenial experience that is the lena dunham project, but yeah i mean i don't know

$3.7 mil, huh.

Yeah, only publishers should be able to make money like that on potential hardcover bestsellers.

what foolish optimism "the lena dunham thread" now appears

"the pitchfork thread"

loading this thread freezes my browser
which should tell me something

just finished this and thought it was pretty great, didnt mind the whiteness

so, to break it down:

have a crush on: hannah
wkiw: adam, shoshanna, ray
your way of life is completely alien to me and I would have nothing to say to you irl but other than that I refuse to pass judgment on you: marnie, charlie
go die in a fire: jenna

JESSA

whatever she's dead to me

http://i.imgur.com/Xa0un.jpg

I hope her and Mr. V.C. move to the virgin islands or something and she gets replaced

but the second season will prob open with news that they divorced within 3 months or something

I like Jessa, but that probably says something unsavory about me. Not really buying the marriage thing at all, or how everyone just kind of accepted it. The only character whose reaction to it seemed in character was Adam.

shoshana's was great!!

ok, true

I forgot what she did tbf

she said "everybody's a dumb whore", which was otm

OK, I only watched six episodes of this, I will watch the rest now and report back!

I just checked the episode dates and it turns out that I stopped watching this show the same week I got disinterested and annoyed with a mid-20s person I went on some dates with!
