  3. The difference between Lena and Gretta is that Gretta has incredible talent and Lena is like a turd that someone forgot to flush.

  4. Why does everyone seem to hate her so much? I honestly have no idea who she is, but ever since this was announced there’s been nothing but negativity around it.

  5. Who TF wanted a *Polly Pocket* movie? And from Lena Dunham? 😬

  6. Huh. I must have missed the memo that said we were still interested in anything having to do with Lena Dunham. I really should check my email more often.

  8. Honestly, can’t think of a time I’ve read an article about her, where she’s not complaining about not getting her way. I get total Joss Whedon vides, just without talent.

  9. Cool. She should take a long sabbatical to gather her thoughts.

  10. This feels like a good thing. Like when Amy Schumer dropped out of Barbie.

  13. She sure does think she’s special and talented, doesn’t she?

  15. “Her way” doesn’t sell tickets. Her agenda is so nuanced that anyone who owned a Polly pocket most likely won’t like it. But, I’m not female, so what would I know. Lena Dunham is absolutely annoying, imo.

  16. The fact she was hired to begin with…the Barbieverse is not beating the white feminism allegations.

  17. It’s just an hour and a half about how fun they are to chew on.

  18. ‘Can’t do it my way’ means she probably tried to get into Polly’s pocket 👉 💦

  20. Her way is just a bad way. Her writing is just a step above a Olsen twins movie from the 2000.

  21. Why do we let this pedophilic abuse apologist direct anything to begin with?

  22. How does Lena Dunham keep getting work despite having views and experiences that would get her arrested if she were a man?

  26. Well when you can’t do it your way you pack up your toys and go home

  28. This is so stupid. Everybody is jumping on the barbie bandwagon now

  30. Why is this admited rapist still getting work? Oh yeah, its Hollywood.

  31. As long as Michael Bay gets to direct the Bey Blade movie I’m good

  34. “Can’t do it my way” meaning Polly Pocket can’t molest her sister? What are you saying, sicko?

  35. This reads like a headline from a 2010s fanfic blog

  36. Lena Dunham is why the Bridgerton’s set have bouncers.

  38. Why is this person still relevant enough to make headlines?

  39. Awww damn that’s too b—oh wait Lena Dunham? Nvm I was thinking of Greta Gerwig. Fuck Dunham

  41. I think Polly Pocket might be a bit too hard to pull off. Now Mighty Max, on the other hand? Oh hell yeah! Who’s with me?

    Crickets…

    Yeah. Okay. Dammit, I just want the franchise to come back because those were my favorite toys as a kid.

  44. Ehhh, she already had her way with her sister and it didn’t turn out well.

  45. So there aren’t gonna be a bunch of weird af Polly-pocket characters throughout that movie? Good 👍🏼 Lena Dunham is wet fart with too much money, and didn’t she force her sister to have sex with her or something 🤔?

  46. I don’t know how she still has a job after she gleefully, shamelessly, and unapologetically talked about sexually abusing her baby sister growing up in her OWN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Like what the fuck? Just because she’s a woman she can get away with that? And I myself am a woman I’m not being misogynistic I just don’t like that Hollywood and people won’t hold her accountable for abuser shit she did and admitted proudly…

    edit: it has made me physically sick to write out those words I had to write out to explain the situation. its true she did all that and talked about it in her biography . i just never see anyone talking about it

  47. For those wondering why she keeps getting opportunities, she’s best friends with Judd Apatow.
