[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol she's been totally off everyone's radar for years, then she pops up with an interview and a project, and you're already "tired" of her.

She really sets people off. I also find her annoying but I find many celebrities annoying. I think the hate against her is much worse because she's not pretty and people do not feel she deserves to be famous as a result.[/quote]

Agree. I think people are triggered because it seems like a mediocre person with mediocre writing and mediocre looks and mediocre acting is getting her mediocre projects on HBO and Netflix. Writers and actors and producers would kill to get their screenplays picked up by HBO. And it seems to effortlessly happen for Lena Durham, and people can't figure out why. But people are still talking about Girls and Lena Dunham, so she clearly is hitting a nerve. And that's good of course. [/quote]
She got the HBO deal because of her indie film called Tiny Furniture. It caught the eye of Judd Apatow and he was instrumental in getting her that deal. I remember seeing the movie and thinking it was really good. One thing that stood out to me was that she showed her imperfect body in the film as no big deal and that was unusual at the time. She was not a conventional heroine and it showed (as did Girls) how an unattractive girl is treated by others. Then she went full fantasy with making her character on Girls as being the object of desire, more than the others. That's when I stopped watching. She wrote a memoir which was ridiculed. I think she was like many people who get success when young. They believe their own hype and become arrogant. She has made a lot of missteps and outright blunders. I hated the baby doll dresses and the tattoos. She was like someone in a state of arrested development. I think she had one or two interesting insights into body image but not much else. [/quote]
