That's great, Bill Maher is an atheist too but he's also an Islamophobe. You can be both!

I mean, if you want to paint the majority of Muslims with a giant reductive brush, don't let me stop you. You do you.

Given her tweet where she wrapped herself in a blanket and called it her a "goth fundamentalist," I'm not expecting a whole lotta nuance and revelation. Again, you look to the positive possibilities in Dunham, I do not. Enjoy Girls, I'll enjoy Master of None, and we'll meet back in ten years to discuss the effects…

Well, there's a world of difference between things like Friends and How I Met Your Mother and Girls. I don't think anyone here would make positive comparisons of HIMYM over Girls, or most things.

I think you're giving Lena way too much credit. She cast the show, she can put in POC and WOC if she chooses. It's not Hannah's version of reality, it's Lena's. Your interpretation of the series might work best if the final episode reveals that Hannah's been in a rubber room in Bellevue the whole time imagining the…

Seems like every magazine had a family. Remember Maxim, Stuff and Blender? Maxim and Stuff are dated, but damned if Blender wasn't actually really good. Rolling Stone definitely outright stole some things from them (specifically an example would be interviewing several people outside a concert).

Yes

Maybe this is just me, but I wonder if there's an interesting documentary to be made about the late-nineties boom of publishing/magazines. Assuming there was one. I just know I certainly read a ton.

That was the most relatable part to me.

He had a funny email handle.

Someone explained that season one peaked in the first four episodes and season two peaked in the final four. I agree with that, although I liked the very last True Detective season one episode, Cohle's unlikely survival notwithstanding.

Man smart, woman is, smarter.

Agree with both those examples, disagree most Marvel movies suck. Stand by the first two Caps, first and third Iron Man, first Avengers, Ant-Man and Guardians.

Two young women who loved it when they were teens/early-twenties are kind of ashamed of it now. I think one particularly didn't like it for the assumption that one could move to NYC, write a weekly (monthly?) column and live in a giant Manhattan apartment filled with namebrand clothing.

Woof, glad I don't follow him. Also, I enjoyed his Community reviews for the most part, but there was definitely some Harry Knowlesesque tendencies to have a seven-page personal essay before you even started the review. That, and I don't want to read him chiding everyone that's ever said anything remotely critical…

I'd probably argue that Lena is more problematic than Hannah. Lena's DEFINITELY had some racial and class blindspots that are more than mere quirks that only unfun misogynists pick on. For the record, Apatow has them too. In particular, his latest work seems to be veering into lifestyle porn completely removed from…

Duff is awesome. Went back to school in his thirties for a business degree so he could understand where his money was going. Involved in the Seattle punk scene before and after GNR. One of the last people to see Kurt Cobain alive. I think he's a black belt in judo or something. Beat the alcoholism that almost…

In their defense, they got the three most important members. That's all you really need. I think Matt Sorum was their drummer for longer than Adler anyway.

I'll give her this much credit- she had some interesting thoughts about Girls. You can tell part of her likes it because of a predominantly female cast, and being a female-led show behind the scenes as well, and how it's about young body-positive feminists in Brooklyn with agency and all of that. But part of her is…

Off topic but I'm here anyway. How do you do italics in comments?
