We are so sick of reading and writing about Girls that we can barely bring ourselves to write this blurb, so we’ll keep it short… ish. The bottom line is that Lena Dunham really is doing something we can’t remember having seen on TV in our lifetime: depict the total weirdness of launching aimlessly from college to the “creative life” in the city, with few job prospects, a depressing romantic life, and no experience fending for yourself. Although, as many have pointed out, lots of young people who aren’t privileged enough to be over-educated would love to have Hannah Horvath’s problems, Girls is still among the most insightful — and often uncannily accurate, uncomfortably funny — depictions of the Millennial predicament we’ve ever seen. The recent episode that found Hannah returning home to Michigan and gaining some perspective on her life in New York was the best of the season, and it has us excited to see what Dunham will do next year in response to all the criticism. You know, besides making the (awesome) decision to hire Donald Glover. http://www.flavorwire.com/293534/flavorpills-favorite-tv-shows-of-the-2011-12-season#7
Well put, Flavorwire, well put.
I also came to the realization on Sunday that I kind of aspire to be/am Marnie. But that’s about as Sex and the City comparison-ey as I’m going to let myself get.

The two of them created starkly different Lisbeths: Rapace played her as a smoldering but certainly human presence, while Mara’s Lisbeth was like something from the spirit world, a banshee gone silent.

“… There is something revolting about the way girls’ minds so often jump to marriage long before they jump to love. And most of those minds are shut to what marriage really means.”

Why Wes Anderson cast Edward Norton as a scoutmaster in his film: “Edward Norton was someone who I corresponded with over the years, and he was somebody who I thought of as a scoutmaster. He looks like he has been painted by Norman Rockwell.”
