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.

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...

I will say that of the 4 s5 eps I've seen, the premiere was my least favorite.
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Thursday, 9 April 2015 04:55 (nine years ago) link
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.

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?
― some dude, Sunday, 12 April 2015 12:48 (nine years ago) link
well even Pamela was asking about it last season...
― nashwan, Sunday, 12 April 2015 12:53 (nine years ago) link
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.
― some dude, Sunday, 12 April 2015 13:02 (nine years ago) link
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

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.

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
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 19 April 2015 23:39 (nine years ago) link
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).
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Sunday, 19 April 2015 23:44 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 20 April 2015 00:19 (nine years ago) link
pam adlon is fucking awesome, the character is painful ashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGYbut totally true
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Monday, 20 April 2015 00:44 (nine years ago) link
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
― nashwan, Monday, 20 April 2015 07:43 (nine years ago) link
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
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Monday, 20 April 2015 12:45 (nine years ago) link
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.

liked the Michael Rappaport episode a lot, best one of the season so far imo
― Οὖτις, Friday, 1 May 2015 20:58 (nine years ago) link
the cop one was like the archetypal louie episode.
starts out in farcical mode, shifts to the comedy of embarrassment with an added element of social satire, but then becomes something much darker and weirder, and makes the most contemptible character a figure of pathos.
― he quipped with heat (amateurist), Friday, 1 May 2015 20:59 (nine years ago) link
also, michael rappaport has let himself go :(
― he quipped with heat (amateurist), Friday, 1 May 2015 21:00 (nine years ago) link
making a show where we're supposed to feel sorry for an ignorant, violent cop was more than a little ngggggggggghhcounterpoint that with the almost casual understanding-as-a-given the sheer incompetence of nypd.... the scene with a vanload of cops getting out in front of louis who all ignore the pistol on the ground in front of him seemed like it could be taken as serious thumb in the eyebut rappaport was convincing and the situation was compelling all the same
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 1 May 2015 21:04 (nine years ago) link
i don't know if we're supposed to feel sorry for him as much as be aware that he's trying to make us feel sorry for him.

i think the rappaport characters eventualy freak-out and howl of despair was anything but a plea for sympathy (even if the character was clearly intensely self-pitying). and louis ck depicted it almost clinically. i response with a mix of empathy and revulsion.
