This B+ mostly television actress on a hit cable show is writing a show which features nothing but her. It would be a dream episode and she would be the only one who speaks. No one else. The rest of the actors on the show would also be blurry. She thinks it is perfect. Just another reason why the cast and crew really dislike her.
Lena Dunham
how to win friends and influence people: you're doing it wrong Lena.
ReplyDeleteOh Lena.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna watch that even if she keeps her clothes on
ReplyDeleteI just can't with this chick.
ReplyDeleteI WANTED to like the show Girls so bad, but everything about her annoys me.
Wow. I've tried to be supportive of her, but this sounds like some skeevy megolamania stuff. Like being in her head. Only having to look at her face.
ReplyDelete@Izzie got it. Oh, and Emma Watson Forever!!!
ReplyDeleteOH HEY Y'ALL! Should I bring up Emma? It's been a while!
DeleteMarie, if you're going to bring something up, maybe you should take an antacid?
DeleteSeriously, what is this chicks problem??
ReplyDeleteDawn bee: you know those kids whose parents constantly affirm them, regardless of their kids actually trying? This is the result. Not everyone deserves a gold ribbon.
DeleteRach, you're on FIRE today!
DeleteShe is an embarrassment to all humanity. I loved the jokester who described an episode in which she has explosive diarrhea while trying to seduce her gynocologist and added (in the voice of a t.v. critic) "finally real women with real bodies writing about real things that all women can relate to!!!"
ReplyDeleteBarton : can't say I've ever had the green apple splatters at the gyno. True story? Female gyno who told me between waxes: "there's a lot of hair down there!".
DeleteThis chick is all about the 'emperor's clothes' and promotion. Can't wait for her 15 minutes to be over.
ReplyDeletePlease Texas: no more gratuitous Lena nudity. I've had my fill for a lifetime.
DeleteThe problem isn't originally with Lena.
ReplyDeleteOf course, she's a marginally talented self-involved artist with issues, but so are 99 percent of all artists in New York. "Girls" is better than most of the things on TV. It's a little different and it has its own tone. Even if part of it is the product of an entire writing team (in the original answers, somebody had told the story about how Jenni Konner extensively rewrote every script), not just her.
But it isn't that different or original. The problem is with the critics who were eager to prove they were not sexists (and how better can you prove you're not sexist than by praising a show with unappealing female nudity?) or who just wanted to suck Judd Apatow's cock. The problem is with Rolling Stone, where "Girls" was called the "best show on TV", then with the other enablers and sycophants who are happy to ride on that wagon and outbid each others with praise for the show.
You throw all of this to the head of a 26 year old writer and it's a given that she'll assume that even her own farts smell better than Chanel n° 5. Hence the lousy and self-indulgent script ideas. The same thing can happen with people who are at the top of the world. Nobody else but George Lucas could have accepted the scripts of the Star Wars prequels.
But Dunham isn't a household name as George Lucas, she's just the star and showrunner of a slightly overrated show that gets a disproportionate amount of coverage. Get her out of New York or Los Angeles, and she's a nobody. And apparently, even her crew and her cast can't give her the royalty treatment she gets from "hip" publications and websites.
Angela: I just had a visual of Lena stuffing her head under the doona after she's guffed and telling her minions to bottle her bottom burps.
Deletehaha love how most of you take these blinds so seriously and believe they are always 100% accurate.
ReplyDeleteJcool: but surely this is gospel? Next thing you'll be telling me is that Nicole Kidman is a natural beauty....
DeleteShe was, until she decided to screw around with Mother Nature. She was beautiful! Love her natural curls too. Oh well.
DeletePeople loved and respected Carol Burnett because she was generous with giving her co-workers a fair share of time to show their talent. It made her a legend. Lena should think about that.
ReplyDeleteAhhh Carol. The good old days. Where people were talented and not entitled.
Deletedunham is a remarkable and gifted story teller, her works speak for themselves. the idea of hers to be the sole player in the scene is not new but creates a difficult narrative to tell. i bet she has the talent to do it and to do it well.
ReplyDeleteshe seems to care more about a story then the on stage politics...god bless her.
Tim Curry : let's do the time warp again....
DeleteTimC is Lena and Lena is Soylent Green!
DeleteDingle: soylent green is people!!!
DeleteLena has eaten them ALL!
DeleteOh man, I can't day anything without sounding cunty! I hope soylent green is kosher! Ps I totes think Lena would be the drug pig in a group going sharesies!
Delete*say
DeleteLena is Jewish? I'm to lazy to look her up. Oy vey. Easy mistake, she looks like she's gornisht helfn (beyond help).
DeleteOk I can't say I'm a big fan but she gives the crew jobs so they need to be a little more positive. Second... So what she is the lead and this sounds like something creative and could be something really special. As far as the supposed mamet conflict... Mamet is a spoiled entitled ap from what I've heard.
ReplyDeleteOf all the characters on that show she is the least interesting and only she as basically the executive producer would ever make her the main character. I find her completely disgusting and wanted to like this show but since its 90% her I cant watch it
ReplyDeleteThat script is stupid.
ReplyDeleteThe show is stupid.
And so is she.
Period
@CJ, they all seem to be spoiled and entitled.
ReplyDeleteFrank Zappa: "a horny little Jewish princess, with a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma". Don't shoot me. I'm part Jewish, and Frank wrote the lyrics.
ReplyDelete14 minutes and counting.
ReplyDeleteHigh 5 true. I can hear the tic toc of imminent obscurity...
DeleteTime Warp was really more Riff Raff's song...
ReplyDeleteTrue Cee Kay. Hats off.
DeleteWhy do people even watch this disgusting slob?
ReplyDeleteI can't be arsed getting off the couch to change the channel when I've lost the remote? Plus G.O.T has ended.
DeleteOK. This woman bugs the piss out of me, but I haven't watched her stupid show yet. I am going to take one for the team and watch it on demand tonight, just so I can sit in judgement of her with confidence.
ReplyDeleteI can't with this broad.. not funny, not talented, and so full of herself.. really, I can't.
ReplyDeleteThis chick working overtime to make people hate her. Wonder why.
ReplyDeleteMy instincts were right about her...she is overrated beyond disbelief
ReplyDeleteThis is the episode featuring only her and Patrick Wilson.
