GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

too much privilege in this thread imo

;)

We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

what i wanna know are where are all the GIRLS ffs

<3

yeah well, I've been getting artfully clowned for my earnestness here since like 2004, so w/e

all the promo for the new season has been SO BAD but I remain cautiously optimistic

hang in there, baby

appreciate it, boo :]

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Donald Glover is joining the cast as one of Hanna's boyfriends.

Or, as A.V. Club put it:

"Donald Glover will be a part of Girls directly addressing all the complaints about Girls"

bad company reunion in season finale so psyched

per a Morning Edition feature today... "MYYYY REALITY has to be part of every TV show I watch." Sorry, Toots, no. God, people are insufferable.

One more pop-star question: What was that Drake quote in Vanity Fair about? ("Drake is not interested in you romantically or even sexually.") Is there a story?

There’s no Drake story except I think that the first time I was in Interview magazine, they asked, “Who do you want to interview?” And I was like, “Drake.” And they said, “Uh, we cannot get anyone to call us back. Drake doesn’t care.” And I didn’t expect Drake to care, although I know Drake has a crush on Kat Dennings; that’s his type. And I love Kat, and I’m happy for her, but I also think I just loved — I felt this real kinship when I listened to his last album that he was sort of ... I think kinship is the wrong word, but I don’t think I understood how much of a rap trope talking about the bitches and the weed and the money was not satisfying you was. I thought he was a fucking rap revolutionary.

damning

drake you cad

oh, nicely done

you know, this is going to be a weird complaint, but the more I think about it I am bothered by the VC douchebag character, because a show by and about born-rich girls chooses to make its (only?) self-made character an unsympathetic and unbelieveable cartoon of an asshole who does all kind of gauche things like get upset about his $10,000 rug. Not that there aren't guys like that in the world, it just kind of bothers me that so far people whose parents give them money are all wonderful, complex human beings and the guy who worked hard for it (albeit in a probably horrible way) is a two-dimensional moron.

the thing is though, plenty of people who worked hard for their money are two-dimensional morons

tbf the trustafarians are not that complex, tho i havent seen the vc ep

hurting, does that really bother you? the complaint seems a bit reaching, imo.

I'm fine w anybody making fun of VC douchebags.

"self-made" people can be really obnoxious because of their sense of desert, I worked really really really hard for this and that makes me better than you!

No doubt there is a pecking order among the born-rich. Also why do you think the guy 'worked hard for it'? Maybe he was born into a VC career.

I mean that scene with the abandoned menage a trois maybe after they left he called his parents and cried and they said don't worry about it i'll wire you the 5 million you asked for last week i'm proud of you for working so hard.

damn i like the idea of watching this show but then when i actually do it

I like watching this show, not always a big fan of talking about it on ilx ;_;

my problem w it i think has less to do w the things ilx complains abt and more to do w the fact that its embarrasscore which i have a hard time with

VC dude is the bets because he wants to do a mashup w/ children singing, its like yeh dude I also remember when indie blogs were posting langley school mp3s

tbf that vers of desperado kills

this show is great and i'm stoked for the new season

xxpost lagoon - i agree, it's def hard to watch with other ppl - bad enough that I want to hide my face half the time when I'm watching it on my own, lol

I enjoy it for the most part, but it took me a long time to settle into it

ha actually the only way i can get through those type of shows is with other people

maybe i need to have a girls s1 slumber party

haha

I'd come

u r invited

I would come if I could hide behind yr couch when necessary or watch from another room

i will give u the ipad

<3

okay I'm in

I like watching this show, not always a big fan of talking about it on ilx ;_;
