I can't watch this show. Most people who feel this way usually hate Larry David. I think Larry is great, but everyone's reactions to him blow my mind. (Am I a sociopath?) La Comtesse de Terrified of Confrontation (shocking, I know) gets physically uncomfortable watching it.
@LaComtesse: I know what you mean. I have yet to watch any episode from this season except the reunion preview because I have to psych myself up to watch him be an unmitigatedly self-absorbed ass to everyone around him (Cheryl is a saint for staying with him as long as she did).
I alternately love Larry and want to smack him upside the head.
@LaComtesse: I get physically uncomfortable when people are in awkward situations in movies and television programs. So much so that I have to leave the room. This is why I can't watch this show, began to hate Seinfeld, and never watch any of the Borat/Bruno/Ali G programs. *shudders*
@willwriteforfood: That's another one. I could never watch the American Office, and I absolutely avoided the British original for all of that excruciating awkwardness, made all the worse by characters so desperate to be liked.
@LaComtesse: I have felt like this for years. I blame Seinfeld for developing a large part of psyche, because I generally find Larry's actions correct and would feel the same way when forced to have chit chat or look away when someone has wronged me. I think its sort of adorable that this imposed system of manners and niceties are lost on him.
@Triphena: Yes! It was terribly sad. But he also made me really angry by keeping in contact with the UCLA girl. Did he not think Jamie would ask him about her, ever??
@ElleL: I assumed he got back in touch with her after he was told to date other people. I mean, you can't be like, see other people...except ones who have expressed interest in you.
if i wanted to see this bunch again, i'd get the DVD of seinfeld. thanks, larry--you've helped me create a little space on an otherwise crowded sunday night lineup. i'll tune back in when this blows over.
@beatrice2000: No, he's definitely based on Larry. It's a running joke on "Curb" that Larry thinks George is great while Jason Alexander (and everyone else) thinks the character's a total jerk.
Seth, don't you know? It's been written up several times in the paper than Finn and Quinn have been an item for a while, and what kind of girlfriend would she be if she didn't stand by her man when creepy animators hit on her.
So, you're telling me that Shia LaBeouf is exactly like my last ex-boyfriend (who would actually point out hot girls to me as he was ogling them)? No wonder I get douche vibes from every story about Shia...
@wednesdayam: Maybe, maybe not. My bf and I point out beautiful people to each other all the time because we both like looking at 'em. However, it's something that could very easily be done from a place of no respect or no consideration for the other person's feelings. There's ogling, and then there's tactful ogling.
...having said that, I've now decided you're right, because that dude does have a douche vibe. Carry on.
I know I'm essentially beating a beautiful horse but DEAR GOD Angelina Jolie is pretty. I feel like a glance at that smile she has in that picture with the twins could cure the swine flu.
@ErinGoBawl: I have never been a fan of hers, but she is starting to win me over . . . slowly. She really looked happy to be with those Iraqi children. And those photos of Shiloh and Zahara!

The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.
