I watched the first episode of that American Horror Story show today. It's not very good but it's extremely watchable, a lot of good actors clearly relishing being able to ham it up and spout ridiculous dialogue. And I have a soft spot for witches so we'll see where this goes.

finally go around to watching Derek. I actually really liked it. It wasn't funny, but it definitely wasn't supposed to be. Corny, likeable characters abound, which I love. Definitely worth the ~3 hours it takes to watch the whole season.

Is anybody else watching The Pete Holmes Show? I've been a huge fan of his podcast for a long time and it's sort of surreal to see him with his own show. Here's my favorite segment so far:

He's kind of a goofball but the loveable kind.

Kinda really into this season of Legend of Korra. Korra's been more of a bitch than I think she should be but I'm enjoying the other characters and seeing more about the first avatar.

Last episode of Korra was so good, jrisk. Always love the spirit world stuff. It's been so inconsistent this season though it's crazy.

I Just started watching The Returned too, it's this French drama that Sundance just imported over here and is getting great reviews. Only seen the first episode but I really enjoyed it a lot, such a great creepy atmosphere to it already.

'It's not a bag, its a Birkin!'





both of these shows are dear to my heart. I love SatC because its a nonstop vision of NYC in the late 90s and early 00's, it's an accurate depiction of how the city looked and dressed. Girls because it seems so true to my generation, to those just out of college and trying to define themselves. and the popular culture of those who grew up in the SatC era doesn't really apply anymore/ the gap isn't as exaggerated as the gap between our generation and the baby boomers, but there is still a very confused generation of young people who got out of higher education without some defined STEM career track. "now what?"

where do these two shows collide? does Girls do in 2012 what SatC did in 98? is girls a pure and simple spiritual successor? is Girls a critique of SatC? does either show advance a socially progressive viewpoint, or do we just really love rich white girls?

SatC is a vision of the early to mid 90s- four 30y.o. women living it large in NYC. in 2013, the idea that carrie bradshaw could afford a west village brownstone on the paycheck of a sex columnist is ridiculous. in fact the idea that anyone with an education and willpower can 'make it' (in Sex's terms): fancy boozy brunches, weekly trips to Barney's, etc-- doesn't feel accessible anymore. there is a (toxic but pervasive) notion that someone has to "sell out" at some point to make it in the New World where wealth and knowledge are controlled by large corporations who manipulate first world politics and exploit third world labor and resources.

do trips to Barney's mean we've 'made it" anymore? the relationships in Girls are much less scripted, much more human than those in Sex (with the caveat of course, that i have much more shared experience with the writers and actors of Girls than Sex). with wealth inaccessible, are strong interpersonal relationships the new commodity? isn't in great that in 2013 we don't have to be fabulous anymore?

is Carrie a stronger character than Hannah? Hannah gets a lot of flak for being selfish and spoiled, but I see strength in her honestly w/r/t her insecurities and personal failings.

Is girls just another white girl fantasy adjusted for modern times? despite everything I have said and believe about my generation being slighted by our parents, these are still first world problems. the worst thing that could happen to a character in Girls is that they fail out of NYC as a young 20 something.


just some things i have been thinking about.

I enjoyed reading this ben.

I don't/don't plan on watching either of those shows but I know the premise and it's cool to have an in-depth look at them.

Girls is so self aware, I love it so much. Watched all 20 eps in three days, and then went into a deep contemplative depression.

a little skeptical. feel like the other two characters would've made better spinoffs.

the pilot opens with a teaser for girls S3 tho which is awesome

Watched three episodes of this with fruit:

Image

But then we looked at the plot summary and realized that poor fur boy is forever cockblocked and forced to marry her cousin, who pushes her off a cliff and then he dies pining for her because she fell in love with someone else who wasn't introduced in the firs three episodes, so we were kinda like, fuck that shit.

Image

Not watching this, but I really quite liked how all the girls in the Mulan live action remakes are styled super well. (Same goes for the one in Once Upon a Time.)

the season finale to boardwalk empire was really sad last week, the way eli & nucky's storyline was resolved was kinda predictable but the chalky/narcisse/harrow stuff caught me off guard

Boardwalk Empire's finales have a way of making the whole season seem better. Not that I thought this season was bad. I think I enjoyed it more than last season because Eli and Chalky really developed as characters. Season 2 and Season 3 finales were so different but so good in their own ways. Both had great Harrow scenes. That ending was beautiful but sad.
