Louie (Louis C.K.'s show on FX)

I definitely prefer the earlier funnier series.

glad youse guys are here to inform me that i'm mistaken that i think this show is great, now i've seen the error of my ways i can get my life back on track, thanx shakey and canks

also the amount of "people only think/pretend they like this" Mind Blowing Opinions on ilx lately is v zzzzz

oh cool we're having the same ol dumb argument itt again

Anyway the new special is just OK - some great bits, but way more aimless ones than usual

agree, though i enjoyed it

i'm guessing some of the aimlessness is d/t the small club setting?

possibly. I'd be down for a CK lecture or commentaty-track series on classic movies though

Lol... this is why I don't really post here anymore... everything's so weirdly personal. Just wanted to say a couple word's on a tv show my main man... sorry for offending you #Research (stevie)...

there is room for us all in our shared hunger... 4ass...

the irony of cankles, CANKLES, being like "oh i didn't mean to offend anyone" on ilx is blowing my mind - dude i am not offended and generally you are one of my favourite ilx presences, i just find the "people only pretend they like this thing they say they like" argument to be REALLY BORING

louie is a good show

the three "Late Show" episodes are some of my favorite TV ever, really

Nobody said anything about "pretending to like" the show fwiw

Lol you're cool stevie but... I'm trying to think of the non-dick way to say this... You are lying about what I said and then getting mad at me for it... that is insane

you know, i can't really see what i was going on about earlier wrt 'people only pretend etc' tbh, which i'm going to lamely chalk up to a general lack of sleep and an 8 month old baby who won't sleep, sorry canks and shakey. i still love this show to death and am probs too defensive of it. peace out!

i think it was that billy corgan thread where dudes were like 'you'd all think billy was cool if he wasn't so uncool' that i was actually riled by but the truth is i'm too deranged by lack of sleep to be responsibly ilxing right now.

Fun interview:

Mislabeled video.

this is on next week!

just checking in before literally never coming back to read everyone's bullshit opinions

I've seen the first 4! Shutting up now.

Just catching up with season 3 now on Hulu. Stopped watching after I gave up cable. It's pretty funny. The one with F. Murray Abraham as his uncle killed me. Really built up a desire to see who they could possibly have cast as his father to top the uncle and then...

huh i guess i read it when it got bumped but it didn't register at all that this was coming back tomorrow.

I will say that of the 4 s5 eps I've seen, the premiere was my least favorite.

I'm on the fourth season. This show is great. It rarely makes me laugh, but the scene where the bin men wake him up by breaking into his room and jumping on his bed had me in tears for several minutes.

this is good:

yeah, i lolled

this was a v good ep

aces; judy gold was very funny

who was the actress who played gold's partner? I recognized her.

so is he really just ignoring everything that happened at the end of last season? haven't checked but bringing the title music back suggests yes as much as anything

funny bits but too predictable an outcome with the pregnant woman and the lazy cartoon angry lesbian thing wasn't cool

are you really asking about plot continuity on Louie, in its 5th season?

well even Pamela was asking about it last season...

i just don't think there's ever gonna be anything on the show that he's not willing to shake the etch-a-sketch on and just move on to the next unrelated story.

lazy cartoon angry lesbian seems more fair a characterisation if we accept that louie really is an asshole, which isn't so hard to do

everyone is a lazy angry cartoon on this show and gold is very very funny
good interview

only catching up with s4 now after binge-watching the whole thing but the whole pot-smoke flashback two-parter was a tour-de-force in comedy/not comedy writing. great acting too.

Louie sure has a lot of random sex

loved how this last one jumped around and refused to ground itself

this show is crazy good

shots fired @ woman in the dunes eh

the scene where he starts an annie hall style flashback and they go so far to show an elementary school class before pamela pulls it back to the present and they just go on was A++++++

Ugh loathe adlon's character so much

it's partly the fact that she inspires so much loathing that I enjoy her character so much. their relationship means a lot to me, and I like that Pamela/Louie episodes tend to have a collaborative feel (bolstered by Adlon's story credits).

I feel like she brings the show to a dead halt. Once she appears everything more or less becomes an exercise in frustration (both for louie and the viewer) and that's p much all ya get.

pam adlon is fucking awesome, the character is painful as

but totally true

would've made more sense to have swapped episode 1 and 2 around (pamela tells louis she wants a more casual/open thing so THEN he has sex with the pregnant woman) but yeah i know...

they're both as bad as each other obv

the show has always done one-off episodes that don't call back to anything else or even exist in the same universe, but it was still weird to make that one the premiere

Thought this one was unexpectedly sad with that cop.

I had often been annoyed at how he talks about young people so it's funny to see the starting scene.

except since when has the show been concerned with continuity?

liked the Michael Rappaport episode a lot, best one of the season so far imo
