Your work probably inspired like 1/2 my conceptions of sex and romance. It's DEFINITELY why I like Odeon
I could care less how public the asskissing is but this reads exactly and terrifyingly like Hannah. I know I shouldn't be surprised but it's a bit dispiriting.

Er, 'couldn't'
Its a little horrifying really, unless there are a whole bunch of BEE novels that I have never heard of which are significantly different w/r/t sex and romance from the ones that I am familiar with. Alternately, she could just be talking about the Less Than Zero film? In which case, cool cool.

We watched Tiny Furniture last night, and somehow I was sort of charmed by it in spite of my wife's OTM descrpition: "I had sex in a pipe. Then I went home and started writing this screenplay." I think she has an ear for dialogue and an ability to capture a certain subset of liberal arts college types very accurately that overcomes the myopically young, inexperienced and privileged story.

Like it's kind of thick to dramatically state that one-thing-I-know-is-I-don't-wanna-be-a-day-hostess when (1) you were a day hostess for about two weeks as far as I can tell, (2) you don't actually need a job and (3) no one actually wants to be a day hostess long term duh

But yeah I sort of liked it anyway.
So here's a theory about Adam. Back when "nerd" was a terrible thing, the subversive thing was to be the nerd. Now we're in the era of the "creep" (distinguished from the dot-com-millionaire nerd), and Adam is embracing his creep and is therefore the Fred Schneider of our age.

Jessa's dismayed look as Kathryn points out she might not be happy
Marnie and Hannah's argument felt a lot like arguments I was having with a (former I guess) friend a couple months ago.
This show is doing so many things right.

I just watched it and was thinking that I'd never had a shouting fight with a friend like that! I've gotten into friend fights but more of the seethe for a while then talk it out kind.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 11 June 2012 23:29 (eleven years ago) link
I found the pacing of the fight weird and stilted? The constant one-shots didn't help, whole sequence felt needlessly choppy.
― Simon H., Monday, 11 June 2012 23:48 (eleven years ago) link
yes, the episodes lena directed herself flowed much better. i haven't loved a show this much for a long time but that was a poor episode imo.
― jed_, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 00:11 (eleven years ago) link
Fight + mayo were too good to say "poor episode". Weaker than the most of the series.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 00:12 (eleven years ago) link
what was mayo?

Adam getting the mayo from the fridge and saying not to disturbe him for ten minutes

haha. i think i missed that bit.

I had a shouting match like that with a friend who is like a sister but it was on the phone - she even called me a bitch and hung up on me! It was harsh times for both of us, and neither of us are actually birches. Everything was sorted out within a eek but whoa.

i came to this cold and spent the first episode wondering where Dunham had found such an amazing, subtle and brave actress to play Hannah. I have to say i was slightly overwhelmed to find out who was playing Hannah. I'd be envious of her amazing multi-talent if i didn't love her so much already. by the time i got to episode two basically i could forgive her anything for that amazing interview scene with the rape joke which i was still laughing at in bed that night. her acting in that scene tips the whole thing off the scale. she's amazing.

ep 2 was the best of the season by a lot imothese last 2 eps have been badi think id prefer if it cared less abt character arcs & had less thru-plotlines

Didn't like the first 2 eps much tbh, and this last one was just OK. Rest has been good-to-great.

eh im willing to concede it's more on me y i didnt like them but..
the rich dude freak out was really cloyingadam's street art apology thing @ the end was so rank
adam's getting the mayo was maybe a high pt in the latest ep cuz they let it be a subtle thing!

something about the editing & pacing of the roommate argument scene reminded me of this

And the mayo still being on Hannah's nightstand when he was doing pushups!

I kind of hated the opening scene with the girl getting the book published. Something rlly backbitingly ugh, ny publishing, about the whole thing. Makes me never want to live in ny. So catty and gross
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
this episode felt a little schematic to me in terms of hannah, marnie and jessa all having classic twentysomething time to grow up moments, but the show is at least right about those moments. also exchange between hannah and jerky guy about the triviality of her work was note-perfect.
also christopher moltisanti!!!

i don't know; the part about being unable to help being a wench to someone whose professional success you envy rang true, not just to ny publishing. at least hannah copped to it later in the episode.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 16:12 (eleven years ago) link
thought this ep was a bit too transparently setting up conflicts to be resolved in the finale, not that it was poorly executed but imo it lacked lighter moments & felt a bit rushed or heavy

my fav part of the episode was jessa's intrigue at weed dad's wife's description of her dreams in which she murders and eats her
