While watching the Golden Globes the other night, I saw Lena Dunham win the Golden Globe for Best TV Comedy and Best Actress in a TV Comedy for Girls. Now since I don't have HBO on my cable I don't watch the show, but apparently she leaves a lot of people polarized.

Now apparently she has a lot of fans from her show who absolutely are gaga over her for being just like them, but then again she has a whole buunch of haters who think she's a talentless hack who is racist and can't write her way out of a paper bag. Like I said earlier, I haven't seen her show, so someone needs to clue me in about this chick.

I like her! Her humor is kind of dry and self deprecating and her characters annoy me in a good way... I suppose some people consider her a "big deal" because she is a smart, young, normal looking female writing, directing, producing, and starring in a successful series

I would probably do her but I would probably have to be really drunk. She would look like Jennifer Lawrence through my beer goggles.

I like her. I recently watched "Tiny Furniture" and enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect, but I thought it was still very good. I don't have HBO, and so haven't watched Girls but I want to.

I don't read a lot of gossip blogs, but based on the few I do read regularly, it seems to me that hating on Lena Dunham is the current cool thing to do. Some may find her annoying, of course...that's just life and totally normal, and I respect the (reasoned) opinion of those who don't like her or care for her acting/writing/etc - but like I said, there are many (imo) far more annoying, talentless people in show biz who don't seem to get the bashing she gets. I think some people resent that she comes from money and is 'priveleged', and that her background gave her advantage and opened opportunities for her that regular people just don't get.

i havent seen a thing she's done, but i do respect anyone who can get a writing/acting/producing/directing empire going and win awards before for it. she's doing something right. that she's a woman doing so in notoriously boys club categories... right the hell on.

as a new york writer/director, it aint easy by any stretch.

as a total film snob, her first work is part of the criterion collection. that's impressive as all hell.

so big props to her.

havent seen any of it though

I really, really like the show and by default that makes me like her.

She and the show are disliked because it's more real and honest than 99% of the total crap that most people watch.

The show probably reminds them of themselves with all their own rolls of fat and awkward sex they too have.

The haters probably prefer to be entertained by glossy, fake ass lame shit stories and people.

I find the show rather boring and its seems to meander about. I dropped out after bout the 6 eppy. It seems like this gens sex in the city, which i despised.

Y'all remember that other show that used to come on about four crazy ladies and their sexual exploits? The critics loved that one too and The Captain has to admit that I was more partial to that cast than the cast of "Girls". Except for the really old one, she didn't do much for me.

But would have totally done Betty White, Bea Arthur, and Rue McClanahan!

I've never seen the show, but I have seen Tiny Furniture, and I was really impressed by the way she allowed herself to be portrayed in "unflattering" ways - IE the way most people actually look and behave. Wasn't the greatest fan of the movie overall, but I thought that aspect of it was completely refreshing.

Never saw it. I'll check it out. She probably won the Globe for her work?

Over here the rating seems to depend on if you want to have sex with her. I could be wrong, but does she get bashed because she doesn't play the 'I exist on earth because I want to please every man his sexual fantasy about me' game and actually just does what she wants to do?

Somehow I think she won't do you.

Cavemen aren't that sexy.

No I could totally get with Lena. Me and my wingman AdmiralDisorder would head out to the club. I would slather on the Old Spice and we would spot Lena across the club and I would slide up to her and be like"Hey baby, you're on that TV show about all those chicks, right?" And she would be all blushing and I would nudge Admiral knowingly and go in for the kill. And I would be like, "I like all the subtext in your show, you know how it represents the voice of this depersonalized generation while balancing the importance of the human connection. And, oh by the way, I am really really hung." Four minutes later, another notch would be in the belt.

^ 4 minutes WOW. what a man.

Yeah, thanks. I like to set aside four full minutes so maybe there will be a little time to cuddle afterwards. Then I would give Lena my number (actually Admiral's number) and head to Wendy's for a value meal.

I apreciate your attempt to convince me you'r a class act.

Helas, to no avail.

It's the Old Spice that ruined it for you. Failed plea.

When she did that "first time" commercial, I remember thinking "she looks an awful lot like Mary Lou Retton"...

Old Spice is the dealmaker. I usually buy about 30 bottles at a time. Lasts about a week.

Well, post the picture of you and Lena Dunham in bed as proof.

Until I see that picture, I still think you lack style and skill to give pleasure to a woman like her.
