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

anyone else deleting this off their DVR's rn?

You mean the nightmare episode or the series generally?

Pamela is trying to be more realistic about their relationship, although her fears (about both of them being just barely still fuckable in mid-40s, "retarded tits" etc) come through very clearly---nevertheless, her hectoring zings etc.(as delivered, anyway) tend to make her seem like a hip variant on the standard sitcom buzzkill hottie wife-mom to the feckless underdog male.

I assumed he was talking about the rumors of lck whipping it out

Ahh. Didn't know there were new developments on the Louis CK Might Be A Fucking Creep front.

Like what?

I desperately want that to be bullshit but it doesn't seem likely, alas.

it's not

Yeah the first thing everybody should do is start deleting all episodes of this very suddenly not brillliant/funny show from their DVD queues

ugh

It's simple. Some people separate art from artist easily and some people don't. In this situation, where the grievance is almost certainly true, you don't need to wag your finger at anyone who suddenly doesn't find him funny anymore.

Wow that is super gross. Thx for not making me google.

xpost Actually that's right. The finger wagging should be left to the experts. With each passing year they hone their chops—less information, more indignant, faster on the draw. The day can't come soon enough when we can just text our judgments direct to Viacom

1 MORE HECTORING
2 COMPEL APOLOGY
3 FIRE FROM JOB
4 EXTERMINATE

5 delete from dvr which is literally what I fuckin did

can't figure out if this is in or out of character for him

like he's pretty upfront about his horny desperation, i could even conceive of him writing an ep around him whipping him out and pulling it off?

is this gonna be a big deal or will ppl just kinda ignore it? is he dating pam ad? saw them in the audience at mayweather pacquiao, looked like she was snuggling up on his shoulder

People got over/ignored the Woody stuff, wouldn't be surprised to see the same here.

Is this show still any good? I was a flag waving fan early on, but I think I just stopped watching during that Hungarian girl arc a season ago. Show seemed to be getting weaker and weaker as it went on.

This seems like a bold claim for a dude actively soliciting emails for anyone willing to confirm in your article. Not trying to ruin a scoop or anything, but I assume you're saying you've got actual confirmation?

he did a long bit about child molestation on SNL and then did a skit about sexually domination

sexual domination**

he also said "on fleek"

Uh ok

^^

So that would be "no, I don't have any confirmation" then

louis is gonna be ok, john

Still proud of that huh

I know I'm the face of ilx gawker pushback or whatever but this pretty much sums up my reaction.

im not convinced by this either until i see stronger evidence

Can this convo maybe be moved to the "seriously, what the fucking fuck is wrong with Gawker?" thread?

j0rdan, if it turned out that this definitely was not true, how would you feel about having published the article? does the name "defamer" tell me all i need to know or is that just cheeky and ironic?

--J0rdan S.

he's also done bits about giving his dead body up not for science but to be beaten or molested by people in order to vent preexisting trauma, so I guess that's evidence too if this is

...that said, I have a bad feeling that this latest allegation is true

i wasn't saying that those snl bits are supporting evidence that he's a creep -- he has plenty of other material that would let you draw that conclusion if you wanted to (i.e. he tried to rape a woman on his tv show)

i was just noting that it was funny

Jordan knows it's real bc of his psychic mutant powers but he can't tell us that or he'll fuck up his secret identity and put all of Gawker at risk. That's the only reason he needs another human to confirm it guys. Jeez.

i mean, if i wrote a story saying a person talked to someone and they didn't then that's a huge problem. but i trust my source on this or else we wouldn't have run it. and louis' rep had an opportunity to flat deny the story before we published it and declined to do that (and i haven't heard from them since).

as for whether it's "true" that he has a reputation for being a creep at best and a serial sexual harasser at worst, i've received dozens of emails this weekend that make me feel confident that i did not mischaracterize him/his reputation

knows what is "real"? -- we were very upfront in the story about what we do and don't know

No don't worry I totally get it now and I'm on board. It's not journalism precisely, it's journalism entertainment and Louie is just taking a bump.

well if you're not on board i dunno what i'll do

Good thing we don't have to find out high5 bro

does anyone remember laughter?

Is this show still any good? I was a flag waving fan early on, but I think I just stopped watching during that Hungarian girl arc a season ago. Show seemed to be getting weaker and weaker as it went on.

Right after the Hungarian girl was the 90-minute movie-story with Jeremy Renner as a drug dealer, and that was a new high for the show.

that episode was awful. like every weak coming of age indie dramedy that makes the festival/cable rounds thrown in a blender.

this season has been much better than last imo

Mordy’s right, if a beloved comedian is suspected of repeatedly sexually assaulting women, the media definitely has an obligation to just let it blow over without looking into it too much. if the controversy is meant to be, it’ll come back around in a decade or so.

why doesn't the NYT attribute more stories to my anonymous cousin's fiancee? it's for the greater good it doesn't matter if it's true.

thankfully no one went around smearing bill cosby's name like this back when the accusers were afraid to come forward

lol you guys. i guess keep your fingers crossed you don't get burnt by a bad source on a big story that just needs to be told even w/out confirmation (cf RS), and that if it does happen, you aren't sued for too much.
