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

He was loltastic on letterman

he was good on letterman but i couldn't get the louie episode out of my head. i didn't end up laughing that much at the letterman stuff because my guts had just been torn asunder.

I recorded letterman and watched it the next day so v enjoyable

i kinda thought he was more otm than lol on letterman; the lions thing, re people texting on their phones, made me laugh a lot. & the teach a man to fish thing. thinking back on the episode, the last stand-up bit seems kinda huge for such a short thing - totally nails grandparent dynamics (the guy just squinting in his yard)

yeah, definitely. it's really fun to see him take off on these little filmic flights of fancy.

the interview stuff i've read around this show has sometimes drifted into him talking about that being a thing he's super invested in, how they have the actual-most-expensive lenses & how it's what he geeks out about. but it's looked great throughout; the slight bleariness of the one where he meets his neighbours, or the kinda blankness of the subway. & it's still exquisitely scored also.

^^^ that last bit, the jazz is another kinda woody allenish touch but it doesn't feel old timey or like self consciously retro

yeah more a mood thing, like some wistful beat up old lonesome trumpet

louis c.k. absolutely loves those athletic-style sweatshirts with the little triangle thing below the front of the collar.

watching commentary for season 1. the guy that plays his therapist is the "warriors! come out and play-ee-ay" guy.

samantha's bf richard on sex and the city was the leader of the warriors, aka the actor james remar.

whoever gave me shit about Louis being the quintessential NYC show owes me an apology

i love the moment where they're both floored by how good the food is.
"i can't wait to eat the shit i take after i finish this" = all time furnace

lol i knew you'd be gloating about that after this ep

apology accepted

man, that speech he gave to her

fuck

yeah i almost wanna say this was next level even for this show. so good. and the grandparents bit at the end was hilarious.

do you guys think they will marry off camera?

(real louie and real pamela i mean)

are they an irl thing?

basically i don't think he's a good enough actor or having enough self-control to say those things to someone with the same name as the character, and also share a bed and show his winky to her in front of a studio audience without having that spill over in some way.

have no idea about this ^^ but, his acting is really great, now; little parts that i guess he's always done like 'snapping out of a daydream' on the subway are super convincing & effective. and yeah his declaration was so measured and you totally believed he just needed to get it all out one time. or trying to play it cool by being at the cool restaurant & not wanting to give that up.

xp isn't pam adlon still married?

also share a bed and show his winky to her in front of a studio audience

haha wait what

it's from lucky louie, and you can see pamela breaking in the scene.
the backstory is they were pressuring pam to go nude since they were on cable and for some reason they were obligated to show full frontal, and louie thought that was so crass so he offered to take one for the team instead, so what gal's heart wouldn't melt from such chivalry?

who wouldn't break? it's not every day a non-porn guy just whips it out for a camera.

who wouldn't break? maybe someone who wasn't his soul mate. like how nicole kidman didn't break in eyes wide shut.

what tangled dongs we weave

anyone have any idea what the music was during the dream sequence on the train?

dane cook is in this week's episode

feel like i should prepare by finally listening to his wtf appearance then

huh.

I wouldn't be shocked if Louie managed to turn this into something epic

:D

this might be the one thing that could make me not loathe dane cook

he looks like he's smuggling microfilm in his jaws

wonder if they'll deal with the "dane cook stole jokes from louis ck" thing

what if they reshot the opening sequence with cook walking down the street scarfing down pizza
going cookie-cookie-cookeeeee / cookie-cookie-cookeyeee
then todd barry goes, 'you suck dane cook you suck at comedy'

there is something about todd barry that is so good just in an ambient way, like he emanates a kinda sardonic vibe just by being semi-out of focus in the background not even smirking just looking at his drink

Carlos Mencia is on the week after this.

lol
