Yeah I'm not one for compliments but the review was good. It's one of those things where someone is complaining about not having analysis when there clearly was analysis. "Just a synopsis?" Did they read it? If they can't be bothered to read carefully enough but still have the nerve to complain respectfully forget

No. Girls is not good. If it's become an inflammatory rhetorical choice it's because critics still absolutely refuse to even consider that it could be anything less than an absolute work of unfettered genius and that all criticism of it is driven only by some level of insane jealousy.

Agreed. But Lena Dunham's only 26. If this level of press fawning and Apatow apologizing continues, based on her self-congratulatory/fake self-deprication interviews we really are on course to turn her ego-wise into someone even worse than Aaron Sorkin (which is saying something) by the time she reaches his age.

This got a like just for calling Girls out on its pretentiousness, accurately pinpointing its audience and basically calling them out on their b.s.

Yeah I don't get why so many people ARE sympathetic to Skyler. I don't really care for Walt either.

This is the most underrated post ever. You hit the nail on the head.

Is that red-haired chick and the goofy looking guy  from There Will Be Blood (sorry Paul Dano that's your name) constantly giving interviews telling me it's not twee or about manic pixies supposed to actually convince me? Cause if so, it's not working.

Do not forget his much maligned career high of Batman Forever followed closely by Batman and Robin.

Am I the only one that read that as a potential lie?

It might make me a huge dick, but when Mike started going on about "legacy" costs and paying his guys, my reaction was basically Walt's.

Marie ain't my favorite character but that coming from Skyler (who is easily as self righteous, more than willing to overlook her own flaws, Walt's flaws when it suits her, and Ted's flaws) almost gave new meaning to the term hypocritical.
