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

also was it just me or did that scene seem to project a kind of ps u also don't know how to talk to women for the same reasons kind of vibe? it had some parallels for me to s1 when Godfrey took Louis out to clubs and how easily outgoing he was compared to louis.

Finally caught up with "Niece" and I really liked it. Always awkward when you've seen him do the stand-up bit before (in this case on Leno, where it killed). I got some genuine laughs out of the girl (Pamela's irl daughter, I think?) being wholly unresponsive. Ending was so odd though that I can't imagine it wouldn't carry over, but then a continuing storyline like that would also seem strange. Either way the finale is tonight, and I'm ;_; that the season is over.

Had my mind slightly blown the other day when I discovered that Pamela did the voice of Bobby from King Of The Hill.

That's insane.

woah

She's sixth-billed in Say Anything. Who is "Rebecca" in that movie?

She's at the party, sitting next to Lili Taylor when she's singing her "Joe Lies When He Cries" song. I think she's the one that tells her that she saw Joe at the party, but I can't be sure.

Pamela did the voice of Bobby from King Of The Hill.

Oh and she's also sixth-billed in Grease 2.

holy fuck this is like seeing the young woman in the old woman illusion
i can never unsee it

this has changed my world right here

thought that was hella old news tbh!!!

yeah I found that out way back in the Luckie Louie days

shit does that make me a hipster?

are you a hipster?

funny you should ask, guk, as we have been discussing that very topic

I kind of love that probably one of the best seasons of anything on TV this year ended with, "I just shat four perfect doughnuts."

I like to imagine that F. Murray Abraham was just playing himself.

Aw. <3

Louis CK on season two of Louie: http://www.avclub.com/articles/louis-ck-walks-us-through-louies-second-season-par,61888/

lol @

To me, it was really important that his head come clean off. For really a logistical reason, which is just that if the guy’s lying there, I’m staying. Even if he looks dead, I’m gonna stick around in case there’s anything I can do, you know what I mean? But if his head comes off, he just becomes a piece of garbage. [Laughs.] If a stranger’s head came right off his body, all that’s gonna happen is his body’s gonna be disposed of. I have no role there.

oh man, so psyched to read this - already really interesting knowing how fluid the filming was, & how the season was conceived in reaction to other parts of it. massive lol at him saying the daughter actress 'has no soul'

Love this:

“Well, Pete Townshend wants to know exactly how it’s being used, and he wants to see the show. He wants to see some episodes.” So I wrote him a synopsis of how it would be. I described it very carefully, and we sent him the DVD of five episodes from last season. And then, I don’t know, three or four months later, it felt like, he came back to us and said, “Can you send me 7,500 bucks?” [Laughs.] Yeah! And so the whole thing cost $15,000, which is fucking nothing!

On "Halloween/Ellie":

To me, the best thing I can say about that episode is: The Halloween stuff is pretty funny with the kids and the guys, and there’s some parent who’ll connect with trying to protect your kids without making things worse, so that was worth watching. And then the conference-room scene was worth watching. The last scene, hopefully, a lot of the people are asleep. Also, this season was kind of pacing along so well in the way that it aired that it felt like a letdown to me. I really held my breath during that scene. I think it aired at 11 o’clock after two Wilfreds. I put it there on purpose.

he's right! it's by far the weakest episode!

i should've posted here while i was reading those articles, because there was so much good stuff throughout that it would have been fun to talk about, but i loved this, & it's one of the bits i remember:

I would definitely love to make movies someday. Unfortunately, I need to meet the level I’m at of control with this show. I’m gonna do this show until they won’t let me anymore, but if I ever get to make a movie, the only pitch I have—and occasionally I get calls from people saying, “Hey, I got some financing, would you like to make a movie?” And I told them, “Yes. Give me $8 million and I’m not telling you what the movie’s about. You’ll be able to see it when it’s finished.” And nobody, thus far, has taken me up on the deal. But I don’t care. I don’t need the movie. I believe someday I’ll get that deal. I believe it will happen.

i am tryna visit ny in a few weeks & catch the guy in staten island; trying to get holiday time signed off before it sells out *bites nails*
godspeed on the BK tix forks

this show really is the best, after all

Ticketweb was a disaster, I (and ten thousand other people) logged on at fifteen till to buy tix and then the system fritzed. Both shows were magically sold out before they went on sale. Having been on the other end of that shitstorm as a venue, I sympathize. But only. A very little. Fuck, I really wanted to see louis tonight.

Ditto
