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 nightI think she's pretty talented but I have no interest in spending time with characters in her milieuIt 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.

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

Viet Cong / Venture Capital / Valley Chick?
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 4 June 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
Two of those things mentioned in this episode actually.
― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Monday, 4 June 2012 20:48 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.

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 loveit is kinda odd how i always think he's capable of killing heror peeing on herand then he did oneso to speakintrsting 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

you guys are referring to some Irish comedian like he's a huge global star?
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 5 June 2012 18:11 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think anyone did that? He was the romantic lead in one of the biggest comedies of recent years though
― Number None, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
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.

i dunno i feel the big lie around tuomas was that he had some kaspar hauser level cultural deprivation rather than an innate sense of timing wrt disclosing his selective ignorances
― too cool graham rix listening to neu (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 5 June 2012 18:47 (eleven years ago) link
sorry stevie, is it Apatow Things or Britcoms that demand universal attention?
I count 10 or 11 Hou features that I've seen, nakh, nothing before A Time to Live...

also Jessa through that whole bar scene was giving me awkward flashbacks to myself stuck in the same role with friends as they were chatted up by random skeevy dudes who thought they were cooler than they are. just abject derision from 'hello' to 'uhhhhhhhh no we're leaving and so is she'

that's pretty good

the bar/rug scenes were unnecessarily distended beyond that screenshot i posted which p much summarized everything better than a whole tiresome gervaisian cringe session

Did someone say IT Crowd? Don't worry about most of it but make sure you watch "Gay! The Gay musical" episode. Yes, I need to mention this any time someone brings up that show. It's that funny.
