GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

shhhh

go back to yogurt town, kike

the ray & adam show was entertaining

liked ray's idealized vision of "a family and its dog" vs. what he actually found there

a lot of funny throwaway lines in this one. like when they get on the ferry mumbling "stupid fucking boat." or the woman going "control your animal!"

finding this show less interesting when it gets nu-sitcom
after last week's ep, i want more stand alone A-thread stories with individual characters instead of five poorly developed B-threads

i think id prefer if it cared less abt character arcs & had less thru-plotlines

nagl, whoever Lisa Lampanelli is

insult comic - cf comedy central roasts etc

she's aweful

awful even

Hate her so much.

This show is not so awful. I enjoyed the dog-driven dude time in the last one. Also Marnie's situation just sort of feels less and less realistic each show, like this guy is obviously an idiot and you seem to have known him for a while, this can't be the first time he has acted like a complete asshole to you. Then again maybe that's just realistic and if we actually learned from our mistakes in real life this show would probably be way different.

Next time Hannah says "I want to experience everything!" someone needs to answer "Except for having a real job".

Lisa Lampanelli is the worst.

In explaining her reasons for switching from journalism to comedy, Lampanelli stated not only for the pay raise, but because “I get to say the n-word word on stage and get paid money."

How provocative.

No no no guys, it's ironic.

it's just hackery.

damn you sleep with someone but don't even let them eat your ice cream, that's fucked up

@fart
wait, THESE are pistachios? i’ve been calling them wood clams

like this guy is obviously an idiot and you seem to have known him for a while, this can't be the first time he has acted like a complete asshole to you. Then again maybe that's just realistic

I don't think she even liked him really, dude was otm when he said Marnie just liked the idea of him and didn't even know him. she just wanted back in the art world, thought it was cool to be throwing art parties and stuff.

the Hannah/Marnie phone call where they both lied that they were doing great rang kinda true

Yeah, great way to end the episode and retroactively gave their prior scenes some punch they might have lacked otherwise.

At first I thought it seemed unlikely when Marnie started to cry but then I liked how quickly she got over it and didn't seem to blame art dude really - it was like she had fully known she was lying to herself but was a bit disappointed that it didn't last for a few more weeks before the lie became untenable.

lol dunham doing air quotes around the insult comic

Ethnic and racial minority insults, slurs, and stereotypes are a predominant part of Lampanelli's comedy routine. Among some of her blatantly racist insults while doing stand-up, include: "How many ‘hispangics’ (sic) does it take to clean a bathroom? None! That’s a nigger’s job!"; “What do you call a black woman who’s had seven abortions? A crime fighter”; In addition, Gossip site TMZ reported that censors for the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav cut a Lampanelli joke where she called the Flavor of Love girls in the audience "nappy headed bitches." In addressing her racist stand-up comedy, Lampanelli stated, "I can get away with it because I'm a nice person, I have a warm personality, my intention is good behind it. The thing is, people sense when you have the least bit of anger or hate towards a group –– that's why you never make fun of people you don't like." Though only having married white men, she makes frequent references to her "real-life relationships with black men", riffing in an interview that "my problem is, I can't get a good-looking white guy anymore, I just don't have the looks to get that. I can get hot blacks, but also blacks are now starting to get uppity and go for the skinny white ones and the Asians, which is very offensive to me that they don't stick with their roots — the chubby white girl!"

wow what an extremely unpleasant person

I love Adam and Ray together
long-awaited & awesome

"coy? is that your first time using this word? " made me laugh out loyd

the last two episodes of this have been great.still can't relate with any of the characters,feel it's kind of dumb and obvious in places,and just like a soap opera at times,and not in a good way.but it's really compelling and funny at times (hannah beginning to write that story "room for cream?" killed me.adam saying to ray "maybe cause we're both weird looking = gold).

And Marnie's plastic dress!

i don't really understand not loving just about everything about it.

pretty much

"Her name was Murjashihaway" made me irl lol so fucking hard, like the idea of coming up with a name that ridiculous, and then crafting a sentence that exists just to draw attention to it, and then having that sentence be the first and only sentence of your book thus far was absolutely incredible.

agreed. that was hilarious

Also the title 'Room For Cream' made me lol

xxp yup, & plus not overtly spelling out all that as the "joke"

I love Adam and Ray together
long-awaited & awesome

^^^

dialogue was so good between them. adam's shit about older ladies felt like an echo from a million terrible conversations. also he is so beautiful.

yeah I have a huge man crush on adam. wkiw!!!

it's so funny that I had such a vehement hatred of Adam and Ray the first time I watched and now they're my favorite dudes ever.

the dog is called dog

he is such a singular & yet feasible archetype. simultaneous defence & demolition of hannah was really excellent; the fairground-tweetie-pie-doll analogy was so viciously poetic, like it is so worthy of a guy who has sat hatefully stewing alone for months.

i am still bummed that ray is on the track he is on this season though. like he's always in his upper register. like hitting those seinfeld notes. he needs to be low-energy-sassing more.

yeah his acerbity works best at a white-noise, background radiation level

for real. with jarring, solar-flare spasms, like talking about american hamburgers.

Pretty great (and typically epic) article by Film Crit Hulk (with a predictably infuriating comments thread):

http://badassdigest.com/2013/02/20/film-crit-hulk-smash-why-girls-is-remarkable/

All caps; didn’t read.

…But converted it to proper case and I heartily agree with the article.

Derail, but is the all-caps schtick more than just schtick? Is there some larger idea with it? If he bailed on it (which would be so appreciated) are there, like, a ton of Hulk fans who would be outraged?

There is a lot of dramatically opportune crying this season.

the one part that felt really hollow this ep was booth jonathan's 'breakdown'

I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a real breakdown or just him throwing Marnie's bullshit back in her face.
