Girls (HBO)

Follows the lives of a small group of friends in their 20s trying to chart their lives in New York City.

The premise sounds awful but the 1st ep is pretty well executed.

Created by a talented lass called Lena Dunham (you may have seen her movie called Tiny Furniture).

I think it is worth a look!

please tell me it's written by dudes.


CaptainHowdy  said about 1 year ago:

(mostly) written by lena dunham. often directed by lena dunham too.


LoadMyRig  said about 1 year ago:

i started doing some reseach on lena durham and then in the middle of her being on the irish dude's talk show i got bored.

thanks for reminding me about this vps. david bean cooley was raving like a dipshit about it the other day on NPR. downloading!


ocelotl  said about 1 year ago:

Well it's all in the writing isn't it? I mean, ''Follows the lives of a small group of friends in their 20s trying to chart their lives in New York City'' says more or less nothing. I'll try to assume too much about the fact that Judd Apatow is an executive producer and wrote a bit.

  • try not to assume too much

rawr  said about 1 year ago:

yeah, i heard some twitter raves about it today. downloadin'.

The girl on girl nudity is a man's touch. PS, Apatow, girls don't sit naked in their bathtubs eating cupcakes while their hot best friend looks on.

This being said, I related to a bunch of it. Apart from her being financially supported by her parents (we have Youth Allowance in this country) and her ugly tattoos. Ouch. My misspent youth.

this could actually be lena's schtick. there's a scene in tiny furniture where dunham's character shaves her legs in the shower while her sister reads her a poem.

Apatow, girls don't sit naked in their bathtubs eating cupcakes while their hot best friend looks on.

Speak for yourself. I'm currently sitting in a bathtub full of cupcakes, eating cupcakes. My best friend is also a cupcake.

Can't be bothered.

that is totally dumham's touch.


anok  said about 1 year ago:

dunham damnit. i'm the dumham, clearly.


ocelotl  said about 1 year ago:

Hmm, so CaptainHowdy, seems they're in the office of Melville House Books. That's some way hip product placement.

YOUR HAM IS DUM ANOK

I'm female and in my early 30s. In my 20s I shared many a bath with female friends (we were usually stoned, which could have led to cupcake eating) and it wasn't odd for us to talk to each other whilst on the toilet either.

I still don't really have any qualms about friends seeing me naked - like if I have to quickly change a shirt or something - but I know some friends who'd be kinda prudish about that sort of thing too. People are different!


definitely  said about 1 year ago:

Also, I enjoyed the first episode. Looking forward to more.

Zosia Mamet was the total anti-Joyce (her character in Mad Men) in this too.


ocelotl  said about 1 year ago:

OK so the jury is divided on the bath/cupcake issue. But these stories are getting a bit 1800-HOTTALK. Tell me more about these friendly cupcake baths.

good for a chuckle @TonightOnGIRLS

TONIGHT ON 'GIRLS': Marnie gets matching tattoos with Charlie by herself; Adam builds a cabin inside his apartment; Jessa heals a scarf

TONIGHT ON 'GIRLS': Marnie enjoys 17 seconds; Adam finds a hole in his soul but doesn't have insurance; Shoshanna opens her eyes all the way

TONIGHT ON 'GIRLS': Hannah gets her breast stuck in a glovebox; Marnie can't find her tongue; Shoshanna wears a wire to bust some Columbians

pretty good.

Wow!


unvisible  said about 1 month ago:

Apparently he's going to be replaced in the cast by an adorable baby deer.


moke  said about 1 month ago:

Kill his character off!


moribunderast  said about 1 month ago:

Start the next season with Hannah and the rest at Marnie's funeral. In between seasons, Charlie's company went under and he murder-suicided. That's how my fan fiction reads, anyway.


slothman  said about 1 month ago:

i can understand why the actor wouldn't want to keep going.


anok  said about 1 month ago:

he'd probably cop a lot of flack on the mean streets of williamsburg or wherever the hell these jerks live.

lulz

TONIGHT ON 'GIRLS': Charlie gets eaten to death by a bunch of crows


soula  said about 1 month ago:

can she just just keep her fucking clothes on! I just watched s2 episode 5 and I've had enough. playing table tennis in her undies. please. I can't take it anymore.


soula  said about 1 month ago:

SO MANY FEELINGS.

just finished the rest. I cried. I love Adam. Hannah is still a child that needs someone to look after her. her dad wouldn't (girl who cried wolf) so Adam was the only one left, guaranteed after they bumped into each other on the street. Adam did that to Natalia to see if she would freak, test her character to accept him for what he is. made him remember what he had with Hannah, who accepted him no matter how fucked up.

loved jessa/Ben mendelson her dad thing.

that ear thing made me squirm big time, wtf!

SO MANY FEELINGS.


soula  said about 1 month ago:

the Charlie marnie ending is fucked. hate her.


samiek  said 13 days ago:

I just watched the Ep9 season 2 where Adam spooges all over Nats breasts, i have never seen jizz in a mainstream TV or movie in my life. I guess thats ground breaking. penetration and hard-ons cant be far off.


slothman  said 13 days ago:

does silence of the lambs count? they also said ''cunt'' a couple of times and walked away with a whole heap of oscars


samiek  said 13 days ago:

silence of the lambs has a shot of jizz in it? where was it?

well maybe i should clarify, I've never seen a jizz shot so overtly sexual, i mean its a pair of titts with jizz on them, thats the sort of thing i thought was only seen in pornos.


mule  said 13 days ago:

happens in real life too apparently


slothman  said 13 days ago:

the dude in the cell next to hanibal says to clarice ''i can smell your cunt!'' then chucks jizz at her. then hannibal kills him.

nowhere near as sexy/awkward, deffo more ''psycho in an asylum'' behaviour.
