How can you not understand it is an example of something so utterly utterly superfluous. Cast your mind back to when you were in college year one... Remember that fucking shite idea you had in the bar with your girlfriend at the time and you both thought it was amazing... Yeah well nope it was shite then and shit now. No matter how many people get involved and no matter how many terrible pictures you draw to 'capture how you felt after day ten' it is terrible and no matter how much post rationalisation you throw at it you just won't be able to pull it out of the bucket of shire it is.
I guess that would be my answer.

There's no post-rationalizing happening on my part.
I've just been able to connect with this work in a way that I previously hadn't - and all interpretations of that are my own (and to that end, subjective).I was initially critical of this (see page 1 of this thread).
But seeing it in its completion and recognizing the process it took to get that content (and the "here's the plan" mentality vs. what happens when feelings happen and child-hood neurosis enter the fray, etc.) is what makes the project interesting for me.The participating designer's work (while mostly good) DOES turn into a bit of a NY-design-circle-jerk, I'll grant you that.
I read things in their posts that I could personally relate to - and that built value for me. For instance, I thought it was particularly interesting to see the event from both sides (what was omitted by one was the focus of the other, etc.) I go through a similar process with my own wife sometimes and it was comforting and challenging to see it written out, back-to-back like that. I don't expect everyone to have the same experience - but trashing it, as I have in the past, negates a lot of work - and its this time of self-exploratory and communal work that will end up elevating our industry (you may disagree with this project, specifically, but the more we're exploring, thinking and experimenting as designers the better). I apologize for the snarkiness in my last post.

If this wasn't done by Walsh, we wouldn't talking about it.
Since it was done by Walsh, people assume that it is good.
I don't care for walsh's work (don't hate it, but don't love it) hence my lack of enthused participation in group rendered joyous clap.

I’m just so glad someone’s finally making a movie about two friends who decide to give dating a shot.

^ seriously?
I read most of the entries. Summary: two friends of opposite sex tried dating in a formal sense and had sex a few times, but never had the "spark" and decided not to continue dating in a formal sense.
What a boring story. Don't most people try dating people they know they aren't that into?
If they had been in love, that might be a story chicks would like. But it didn't go anywhere so who cares?
