li'l mamet's scene was the only funny one in the pilot for me
― buzza, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 17:53 (twelve years ago) link
she had some funny lines, I like her in Mad Men a lot, when I say she's irritating I know her character is supposed to be cringeworthy. mission accomplished I guess!

this show is good

i wish at least one person on this thread would really hate it so everyone could have a big argument

I liked this! Wish I had HBO so I could watch it.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
give me a couple episodes and i might take a firm anti stance tbh
― some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
Oh, hey, maybe everyone knows already, but I just saw that HBO is streaming the pilot ep on their site.

i think that would hit harder if it wasn't actually a show about economic privilege already
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
The backlash against this show is so strident. I don't get it.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
"born on third. think they hit a triple" kinda a decent description of the text of the show really, except for the 'thinking they hit a triple' part. more like, 'born on third. think they struck out.'
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
backlash? almost everything i've read about this show everywhere (except for like 2 blog posts) has been incredibly positive
Were any people really really really mad when Robert Downey Sr.'s son and Blythe Danner's daughter and Beau Bridges' son made that movie with Vince Vaughn's BFF about the problems of a young arms dealer with daddy isues?
― da croupier, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
lol at "the drummer of bad company's daughter" being the mark of privilege. i mean, she probably wasn't destitute, but ... annnnnyway, is this show funny? or not.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
lol I mean Lloyd Bridges, whoops xpost
surprised they didn't play up that she's the daughter of puppeteering superstar Jeff Dunham

I refuse to watch anything by Joss Whedon because holy fuck he's a third generation tv scribe, was born with a silver pen in his mouth ohhh it just fills me with class rage
― da croupier, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
Thought this was alright, hoping that the show is able to evolve past examining its own privilege/entitlement though, as I'm pretty sure that's gonna get old fast.

"and you thought they cancelled 'how to make it in america'" predictably got a lol out of me

Were any people really really really mad when Robert Downey Sr.'s son....
Probably not, bcz Senior made avant-garde films, tho I guess Putney Swope was a sleeper quasi-hit.(box set next month btw)
who is Laurie Simmons?
wasn't "born on third. thinks s/he hit a triple" popularized by ex-Tex Gov Ann Richards re Dubya?

"being the son of a notorious hollywood gadfly is really no advantage, certainly not up there with being Bad Company's Drummer's Daughter."

do you have time for google? it's attached to the box you're currently using.

lol, i bet all these ppl wish they had even a tenth of the exposure that Girls has. ppl weren't really mad bc ppl didn't care?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
it was Jim Hightower on Bush Sr., I think (xps)
― boxall, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
it was pat o'brien on billy bush.

ooooh, L Simmons does "interactive dollhouses" -- what could I be missing?
maybe they should make Chris Walken a regular so there's someone around whose parents ran a diner.

oh, was this iron man 2? lulz
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link
feel like being the progeny of successful showbiz people is a different kind of privilege than having parents who are just rich in some other way. i haven't thought any further about it tho..
― goole, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
haha mordy i wasn't gonna say anything because people have been really overly unclear about when they're being sarcastic here lately
― some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
i just think it's funny when that is and isn't thrown around scornfully. anybody more bothered by Lena Dunham's success than the Strokes...

oh man i think i have ptsd from the strokes war, come on

well, people care about your pedigree when you're new, not after you've spent two or three decades proving your mettle. not that the iron man/girls thing was meant to be taken too seriously, obv.
― some dude, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:44 (twelve years ago) link
people really care that you're Bad Company's Drummer's Daughter?
― da croupier, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
well it doesn't play into the narrative if she doesn't have a famous parent as well

1. Have a mom who makes interactive dollhouses.2. ?3. Profit.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:48 (twelve years ago) link
My friend's dad used to play drums in the Interactive Dollhouses.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
only lolsy to bring up Bad Company because of Dunham's quote "The only thing that would make it not a coincidence is that they came in with a preternatural willingness to play and an understanding of the creative process that probably comes from being raised around it."
