Speaking of Rock and Valentines:
The poorly named show "Girls" set a certain expectation of a scene with its title - it shouldn't have! But it did. So the audience wanted romance and sex and the city, but instead got a dark raunchy comedy with characters as flawed as those on Curb and Always Sunny - and tons of protagonist deprecation. The show is otherwise a black comedy along the lines of Kevin Smith or Judd Apatow style dark comedy with more than a dash of Curb Your Enthusiasm and a lot of sex, perversion, and nudity - and as a result of the title, more or less the entire fanbase hates the show and its characters. But I love it! I love adventurous characters trudging into, and offending, polite society. Also, another reason that kinda makes the "Girls" title a bit misleading are that there are four male leads as well as the four "girl" leads. Either way - here are the two scenes from that show that fit that "Girls" expectation - the "As You Like It" scenes, quite fit for Valentines day:
For obvious reasons, my favourite scenes of the show are not appropriate for these forums :D
I'm one of like 3 or 4 straight guys who will admit to loving this show and its characters. I do not recommend it to its target audience, but very much recommend it to the dark comedy audience - like the book American Psycho or the Rules of Attraction? Chances are much higher you'll like this show. Ray met Shoshana after she smoked weed for the first time... but what she actually did was accidentally smoked crack (in what's dubbed the "crackcident"), took off her bottoms, and started running half naked around New York City. He's a man in his thirties, she's a 21 year old university student. The show itself is written and produced primarily by Judd Apatow and Lena Dunham - IMO, his best TV collaboration with Dunham as the lead writer. It's kind of the third show in a trilogy: Freaks and Geeks focusing on High School, Undeclared focusing on University, and Girls focusing on that wild-time gap between university and career. Similar cast and crew, Hannah's (Lena Dunham) mom is played by the same person who plays the main mom in Freaks and Geeks (Lindsey Weir's mom).
But more music that comes to mind:
Bought a whole bunch of dry cider for tonight's Valentines. There's a tax cut that made it cheaper. I like it better than Chardonnay, which it tastes like. Cask strength rye whisky for the overrun (Full tax on that, though!), but I love rye.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
