GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

the concept of this video is meh but the execution is very good/surprising. cf. aforementioned street lobster

Haven't watched yet but

can we make silby the REAL Dr Morbius?

(everything Groucho Marx said was a 'bad joke' too)

This was missing Chevy Chase as oldman Adam.

can we make silby the REAL Dr Morbius?

lena dunham picks her 10 fav criterion discs:

http://www.criterion.com/explore/199-lena-dunham-s-top-10

“I am Criterion-obsessed and even own some Janus Films VHS’s"

I always say Agnès Varda was to the French New Wave as Eve is to the Ruff Ryders: a ride-or-die bitch, respected by a pack of tough gentlemen

rmde

altho genuine lol at making out to Strawdogs and Dead Ringers

Either the Criterionforum has warmed (slightly) to her, or they just hate Stanley Kramer more, because it took a whole half day before anybody seized on her part of the newsletter.

doesn't seem like a bad list

it's spelled "ryde or die" dammit

"Lunchtime at Dangling Boulder"

i do like LD and usually defend her but she is kind of really embarrassing sometimes.

i was really into Girls, but in its absence i havent missed it at all, wondered what the characters are gonna do, etc.

girl's got taste http://www.criterion.com/explore/199-lena-dunham-s-top-10

Linked earlier today </Homer Simpson stage whisper>

Love the show, but that list reads lie it was written by an over enthusiastic alt weekly intern

LD otm re: Fish Tank and Weekend. My favourite British indie movies of recent years and not obvious choices.

gay men are my target demo

uhh, the one gay character in her show is a walking homophobic stereotype

xp enh they're a little obvious

uhh, the one gay character in her show is a walking homophobic stereotype

As are many real-life twinks in NY!

So I've seen the first 5 episodes of the first season, and I'm in the middle. Some very funny dialogue, but sometimes the characters are too stupid for a quasi-'realistic' comedy, as when Hannah torpedoes her job interview with a date-rape joke. Must be that EDGY millennial humor the VICE alum is around to supply.

Also phrases like "hate-read," stfu. And I would give Adam Driver a tongue bath.

but by the conventions of a sitcom having characters do somewhat outlandish things like in the job interview scene is not really that unusual.

wait, is this show a sitcom?

a sitdramedy

I look forward to LD getting older and maybe writing about older people.

hannah = jerry
marnie = elaine
shosh = george
jessa = kramer

that really doesn't work at all

• it's a show about nothing

I never understood what that means. Seinfeld was a show about the banalities of single adult life in New York City. Kind of like Living Single with white people.

all the characters are so petty without any level of self-consciousness

ah, twenties.

i mostly only remember living single as the thing i turned off after martin but i guess that's right xp

Hannah = Alice
Marnie = Mel
Sosh = Vera
Jessa = Flo

Hannah = that one girl from bushwick
Marnie = the other girl from bushwick, with the boyfriend
Soshana = the other other girl from bushwick
Jessica = the brit

also in the first 5 eps I haven't seen ONE really shitty apartment.

Jessa is definitely the most fun, performance/character combowise.

i've never understood this canard.

(it doesn't help that i've disliked seinfeld from day one.)

I would give Adam Driver a tongue bath.

<3 you morbs

"show about nothing" is just one of those meaningless things that people mindlessly repeat because they think it sounds good

The show about nothing made no sense to me either. How is it more about nothing than any other sitcom out there? I guess it was the original concept that didn't last but as you said it sounds good as a catchy tagline.

Greenpoint/Williamsburg still. They may party in Bushwick but they're not living there.

• hannah in many episodes meets a new man who soon becomes her nemesis/frenemy.... a new man... Newman....

lol sleepingbag

'show about nothing' was just a joke premise that got repeated cause it was memorable -- larry david has said a bunch of times that the actual premise of seinfeld was 'where a comedian gets his ideas.'
