oh to be funny and grumpy for a living

i don’t like sports, but i also don’t like people who are too vocal about not liking sports. like the kinds of people who post the same “hope they score a goal” joke on superbowl night every single year. i’m forsure guilty of this. don’t get me wrong, i also think sports culture is obnoxious and easy to make fun of, but it feels like the same jab every time. 

i say all of this to make it clear that fran lebowitz is the only person i know of who can talk about not liking sports and make it a point worth listening to.

martin scorsese's films: 🤬☠️💥💵💊🚬♠️

martin scorsese in real life: 🤓🌟🌈🧸💖🥰

Fran complains, I watch. One of my rules.

i could listen to fran talk and marty chuckle all day long this was such a comfort to me what an absolute delight!

By a mile, the worst thing Scorsese has ever made. 3 1/2 hours with the smuggest, whiniest, most incurious person making the stalest and safest observations, and then congratulating herself for her iconoclasm.

Why did I watch this whole thing? I wanted to write about it.

an absolute delight. i think fran lebowitz is one of the only people ive discovered that i actually enjoyed listening to talk for hours, with marty's wheezy laugh at everything she said as a cherry on top. a genuinely fascinating look into how one person perceives the things around her.

fran after telling every joke: 🤨😄😛😋😏

“There is nothing that’s better for a city than a dense population of angry homosexuals.”

A Manifesto for Pretentiousness and Cynicism.... exactly what I’ve been needing in life! Although I do have one massive complaint which is that 3.5 hours is not nearly enough time to be listening to Fran Lebowitz speak.

assisti sem pretenções nenhumas e me apaixonei, fran lebowitz por favor entenda vc é incrível!

 eu poderia ficar horas e horas ouvindo a fran falando que eu não me cansaria.

I love Fran

i love fran so much but she would probably hate me me thinks

It's a comedy special directed by Marty, what's not to love?

This is the second most important 21st Century text about NYC, behind Taylor Swift’s “Welcome To New York” of course.

Warning: you will talk in her cadence for days afterwards.

Adore that 95% of this is [Scorsese Laughing]

i love you fran

logging this a bit late. didn't realise it was on here.
could listen to scorsese laugh all day. not sure what people expected from fran at this stage, but i think she's fun.

you can really just be from new york and say shit to be famous , big respect

Fran me ha recordado un montón a una persona que conocía, aunque es un poco intimidante me encanta lo obsesionada que esta con nueva york
