GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

okay I didn't notice that - I did just watch the whole season in the last couple nights tho

It's way better that it (apparently) came out of nowhere. Hate formulaic foreshadowing and as everyone has said, shit from your past can just resurface.

posted a piece of this elsewhere but the beginning is applicable imo

good response on the "peaking too soon" question

lol totally

i rescreened the 'one mans trash' ep - damn, it is so good. patrick wilson and lena too are really great in it

in my world of tangentially known young ppl, i was talking to my friend's younger sister, shes maybe like 23, & apparently all her friends hated this ep, she loved it

Gawker article calls Girls "increasingly sallow", which is either an unfortunate typo or weirdly specific, hilarious complaint

haha, maybe its a typo. people use that for, like, colorless and boring, maybe

the cinematography has been more and more yellow recently

the actors are literally bloodless iirc

the cinematography has been more and more yellow recently

someone pointed that out in the comments complete with screenshots, which made me think it wasn't actually a typo

Maybe she's just casting a jaundiced eye at the show.

increasingly tallow

perhaps the characters are becoming more asiatic

pretty clearly callow, no?

sallows humour

'Girls' Star Christopher Abbot Departs Series, Reportedly After Fights With Lena Dunham

After appearing in the first two seasons as Allison Williams' on-again, off-again boyfriend Charlie, the actor has left due to creative differences.

Christopher Abbott has left HBO's Golden Globe-winning comedy, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Abbot appeared in 12 episodes of the show's first two seasons, playing Charlie, the once-and-again boyfriend of series regular Allison Williams. The pair had reunited in the finale, but their relationship couldn't survive off-camera drama.

"Chris is grateful for the experience of collaborating with Lena Dunham, Judd Apatow and the entire Girls cast and crew, but right now he’s working on numerous other projects and has decided not to return to the show," reps for Abbott told THR.

Abbott has a budding film career, which includes last fall's indie favorite Hello I Must Be Going, in which he starred opposite Melanie Lynskey; the SXSW film Burma; and the upcoming drama The Sleepwalker, which co-stars Brady Corbet.

The New York Post, which first broke the news, reports that Abbott's exit came after butting heads with series creator and star Dunham. HBO declined comment.

i met someone yesterday who said she went to a party that charlie also went to, and that charlie was a huge asshole irl

another good reason not to pay attention to continuity on the show

i think this is good news

another good reason not to pay attention to continuity on the show

oh yeah cause charlie ruled

lol

really tho did anyone like charlie or look forward to moments featuring him at all

I only liked his and Ray's terrible show

if this was ray, on the other hand

attention lena if ur reading, i am available to play charlie

charlie was good in the finale, the way he crumbled 2 marnie after everything "thats all i ever wanted to hear/youre all i want" or w/e idk i found that v real & sad

charlie had his moments but in general was part of a terrible arc/subplot - good riddance. more Ray!

nothing about charlie was real or sad especially thats all i ever wanted to hear youre all i want sorry johnny i love you but that was some hipster clutch bullshit

... sorry i'm feeling extra something today don't mean to be a douche

no youre otm

too soon

I wish everyone would leave this show, tbh.

Sorry, I know I am doing Whiney-style thread trolling -- it just annoys me that much.

charlie only got interesting at the end of this season, but mostly he was a lame wet mop

dayo would be much better in this role imo

everyoe who likes this show watch The Comedy on netflix streaming its good

they should totally just recast him w/ donald glover and move on as though nothing happened.

cgi as a literal wet mop 2 appease u unfeeling monsters

that'd be cool

"a flare of originality"

charlie was a good character, i felt. i think they should have the cast alternate what roles they play... so like, one episode the guy who usually plays adam plays marnie, and zosia mamet plays jessa, etc, and then see how peoples' emotional attachments are affected, like if they are more attached to the characters or the actors, and if they can separate the two. it would make television history, and it would be an interesting thing for lena dunham to discuss in the after-show interviews. maybe christopher abbott would agree to come back if he was allowed to play hannah's dad.

n.b. i've always wanted to have a show where that happened. are there any pretexts for a similar idea, in the world of experimental film or something?

you're describing the show friends

lol
