Guys we should send John Cook a letter or email or something urging him to stop writing about shows he doesn't understand

Though he did have a point abt like why us this totally hip warehouse party playing top 40 and not, like, Grimes?

the ghostface song felt accurate but i have never been to such a party
― a hauntingly unemployed american (difficult listening hour), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link
it seems like they'd play ghostface? they should.
also it was really really sad/embarrassing to see a writer talk about "ironic t-shirts" in 2012

hipster loft parties in montreal often play top 40
― flopson, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 22:10 (eleven years ago) link
tbh though i kind of like the way the show isn't meticulously hip & the references aren't super topical or up to the minute
― flopson, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 22:15 (eleven years ago) link
otm. and parties everywhere mostly play music people like to dance to

i mean it seems p clear that marnie and hanna and co. arent really "hipsters," they are like hipster hanger-ons or whatever, second-generation post-w'burg/greenpoint gentrification hipsters or something

I really dont like any of the characters, except Adam, who I kinda half like. But I still have decided that I like the show. Marnie is the worst. She should be on Good Morning America, though, and follow in her dad's footsteps (kinda).

I don't watch much TV, but strangely I have watched most episodes of HBO's new series Girls. Of course, the show is produced by Judd Apatow, the man who gave me my first good acting job, playing a freak on the television show Freaks and Geeks, and my first great comedy role, Saul Silver in Pineapple Express, but that's not why I've been watching. I got pulled in at the beginning simply because it seemed to portray my world -- the one inhabited by struggling creative types in New York. I'm not saying I have to struggle to pay the rent like Lena Dunham's character, Hannah, but there was a point, right before Judd cast me in Freaks and Geeks, when my parents cut me off because I wanted to go to acting school instead of UCLA. I worked at McDonalds, and my first suggestion to Hannah would be this: get a fucking job. If you really want to have experiences to write about, go to work; and if you really want to be an artist, take responsibility for yourself and wait some tables. You might mature a little in the process.

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.

"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.

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.
