Has /lit/ ever seen any other lit in plain-view on TV?

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 18:00:51 2012 No.2578360 Looks like the Art of the Novella series besides the Tao Lin. I approve.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 18:02:51 2012 No.2578362 'Mad Men' makes some pretty awkward literary references occasionally. That film 'Warrior' kind of shoehorned in some Moby-Dick excepts and had pictures of Nietzsche on the wall for no reason. 'The Guard' had some pretty telegraphed literary references.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 18:02:51 2012 No.2578363 Why is this surprising to you? Dunham is part of the NY mumblecore/whatever tao lin is considered scene.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 18:06:52 2012 No.2578368 fuck that show for having a cast composed almost entirely of the children of famous / wealthy people

Archer is really the only show I've seen pull off some serious literary references. Like, Bartleby-The-Scrivner-type references. And it's a cartoon.

>>2578363
I had no idea.

>>2578368
I thought there were other shows, but this literally and definitively is "Single White Female: The Show."

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 19:29:52 2012 No.2578500 >>2578395 Archer does it without any pretense. It's delightful.

I was thinking more like
Hipster Problems: The Show.

Read reviews for it and

All I can think is I gotta get in this selling-my-opinion-to-studios-and-pretend-I'm-some-kind-of-authority racket, seems like it would be pretty good money for little-to-no work. I wonder how much HBO pays for a positive review in a medium-distribution mag.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 21:41:54 2012 No.2578678 watched the first episode of this show. not into it. same ol' same ol' privileged people writing about their privileged problems. whoever writes this show must be incredibly fucking tone deaf to the times right now.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 21:43:55 2012 No.2578680 >>2578670 Yes, yes it is.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 21:43:55 2012 No.2578682 >>2578678 like every sitcom

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 21:46:54 2012 No.2578685 I thought the first episode was cute enough.

>>2578682

there's a reason for that. the more that the realm of art is only affordable practical to those who have the means (kinda hard to pay rent and do a full time, unpaid internship without someone paying your way) the more that art is going to only reflect the narrow viewpoint of that few.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 21:50:55 2012 No.2578690 >>2578678 Do you seriously expect a sitcom to be the voice of the people? That's just not how it works.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 21:56:54 2012 No.2578693 >>2578358 it's tao lin's book over there

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 22:00:54 2012 No.2578702 >>2578689 but i think it's probably rather worse in this case because, again, basically everyone involved in this show is a direct lineal descendent of people who are wealthy and famous burn the mother down

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 22:05:54 2012 No.2578707 >>2578702 it's neither worse nor better, but pretty much the same story.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 20 22:05:54 2012 No.2578709 >>2578702 yeah... I actually want to watch this now just to see how horrible it is
