God the trailers alone had me groaning for this picture.  I swear it's become a cliche, a cousin to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Masterpiece Theater productions about brooding, darkly handsome Englishman trying to regain the love he lost, set against the backdrop of one of the Great Wars.

Mama Cass goes without saying.  And of course Paul Lynde.

Story pitch for what could be the greatest spinoff series ever:

We are not all smiles und sunshine…

Trust me, at it's heart, it's all about self hatred.  Like I said, I'm guilty of this, and deep down, it's because of insecurity, which we all have to various degrees.  Insecurity over whether we've made the right choices, whether we have the talent, whether we're good enough.  Each success someone else has make the…

So I wanted to weigh in on all the Dunham/"Girls" backlash, speaking as one of those guilty offenders trying to make amends.  I've tried to search deep and figure out why I think there is this irrational reaction to the film.
