Enough About Lena Dunham: The Least Creative Writer In Hollywood
Lena Dunham won some awards last night for Girls, her HBO series about a girl who struggles with life as a woman following graduation from a liberal arts college. Dunham sold the series to HBO following her independent film, Tiny Furniture, a movie about a girl who struggles with life as a woman following graduation from a liberal arts college. Last year she co-wrote another independent film, Nobody Walks, about a girl who struggles with life as a woman following graduation from a liberal arts college film school.
I hope you’re noticing the trend here.
For those not up-to-speed on Lena Dunham, she’s a girl (from a wealthy family) who struggled with life as a woman following graduation graduated from a liberal arts college.
Lena Dunham is the poster child for the “me generation”. She doesn’t need to be creative or come up with plots and storylines for movies and books she writes because her life is the most interesting thing you’ll ever learn about. Have you seen her book proposal?

Is there supposed to be more “below the fold” or something?
It’s not that I disagree with what little is here, but that it’s barely a thought. For the record, I have only seen her show (which I actually like for some reason), so I personally I can’t generalize about all her work, though I’m given to understand everything she writes is heavily autobiographical. But lots of writers write lots of similar spy novels, or romance novels, etc., without encountering this kind of opprobrium, so you should try to find some argument for why Dunham is especially problematic.
Flesh that shit out! If she’s the least creative writer in Hollywood, blow us away up with some damning evidence of her unoriginality and brain-rending repetitiveness. You can expand on this, y’know?
