“The vet was a young, sweet man. Definitely Jewish, which is something I care about only in times of crisis.” - Lena Dunham, A Box of Puppies article.

“ Yellowish Fever: I know I said I could never imagine a Japanese affair, but I’ve changed my mind. Kazu, the art handler hanging my mom’s show, is gorgeous like the strong, sexy, dreadlocked Mongol in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (causing my sister to email the instruction: “Yeah, girl. crouch that tiger, hide that dragon. P.S. That’s a Chinese movie”)” - Lena Dunham

Just read her articles. They’re all either antisemitic, Islamophobic, orientalist, or all three.

That tiny little thing where her entire damn TV show has no POC in it

POC cast in Girls (her HBO show) play only “the help”, random people:

Sidné Anderson as “Jamaican Nanny”

Jermel Howard as “Young Black Guy”

Moe Hindi as “Roosevelt Hotel Bellhop”

Jo Yang as “Tibetan Nanny”

The time she added a black actor ,Donald Glover, for a couple episodes, during which she accused his character of fetishizing her as a white woman, and declaring that she “doesn’t see race” and “doesn’t see him as black”. Pro tip: erasing people’s identities and experiences is still racist.

There is so much more.

BLUE RUIN (2013) Grade: B-

Intense, doesn't slow down. Very bare bones w the action & dialogue. Which only improves the film. Wasn't a fan of the lead actor though.

Bloody vengeance, that is what the second feature film by Jeremy Saulnier is all about. His first feature film, Murder Party (2007), pigeonholed him as a comedy-horror director, as he says so himself. To break with this, he went a different way with Blue Ruin, an intelligent and emotional take on the revenge thriller.

Dwight (Macon Blair, hard to recognize with the long hair and beard) lives out of his car and survives by eating other people’s leftovers. He is harmless, something that shows when he has an encounter with a local police officer (Sidné Anderson). She takes him to the station to tell him that the man who murdered his parents many years ago is going to be released from prison. Dwight wants nothing but sweet revenge. Some plot holes and cinematic moments aside, it is a thrilling plot.

Sergio Leone once said that dialogue is overrated, a statement Saulnier lives by throughout the entirety of this film. There is not much talking, especially at the beginning of the movie, when the audience learns about Dwight and his lifestyle. He seems like an incredibly nice and sympathetic man, but looks can be deceiving, especially if you killed his parents. Once Dwight is on the hunt, the suspension is of the highest level. What’s probably most admirable is that Saulnier is more interested in the aftermath of the revenge than the revenge itself. A bold move, since it’s still a revenge thriller, but it works wonderfully well.
