her HBO show Girls looks like it might not be as bad as Tiny Furniture

Tiny Furniture was dope, so I will def watch Girls.
I wonder if Chris Eigeman is gonna be a regular or just a guy who pops up in one ep. Saw him in the trailer.

If ILX does a most hated poll, I'm voting Tiny Furniture

let's please not sully Louie's thread with Tiny Furniture handwringing

i mean, once Morbs sniffs out a Dunham/Apatow collab he'll breach the walls of the thread and we'll have nowhere to run

lol for a little too long I was trying to figure out why ppl's first association with Ashley Tisdale was some random thing called Tiny Furniture and not High School Musical, and what Jeff Dunham had to do with any of it

High School Musical, Tiny Furniture, same diff

wait, chris eigeman is in what now? louie or girls?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 23 February 2012 01:19 (twelve years ago) link
i guess probably girls but it would be rad if he was on louie
― horseshoe, Thursday, 23 February 2012 01:20 (twelve years ago) link
also mark ruffalo should join the cast of louie, while i'm at it

Louis bails on Radio & Television Correspondents’ Association dinner, possibly because Greta Van Sustern didn't like his tweet about Sarah Palin being a "retard-making cunt."

i remember those tweets; he was drunk and on an airplane.
i like when he just posts "aids" at the end of his tweets for no reason.

He uses filthy language about women…..yes, the C word…and yes, even to describe a woman candidate for Vice President of the United States. It isn’t just Governor Palin he denigrates. He denigrates all women and looks to the crowd to laugh.

it is kinda funny, even that he was asked, because he so obviously contravenes so many no-go areas, but has a reprieve on account of it evidently being thoughtful & obviously layered in reflection and commentary and self-criticism. it's complicated to object to the objection that a guy who calls women cunts shouldn't be the comedian doing the white house dinner, even though i totally think he should be the guy doing the white house dinner. so i guess it is sad that the media is reductive and people are indictable on such flimsy readings of their character.

^^kony apologist
it is weird though, because "[using] filthy language about women ... He denigrates all women and looks to the crowd to laugh" isn't, actually, to disdainfully quote myself, a flimsy reading of his character in this instance. like the point of not calling women cunts is that you don't call women cunts. it's more, baggage i feel okay about dismissing because i think he's thoughtful, because i think it's okay to have non-compliant voices in a conversation, but that's obviously a weird, nebulous line to walk & one that i wouldn't extend to a whole bunch of other people, &c.

i'm a humorless feminist and no i don't think it's cool for a man to call women cunts, but i've watched a lot of louie's material and i really don't see a sexist thread running through it. if anything, he's always saying how much better women are compared to men.
except sarah palin, she's awful.

And yet she is an OJ Simpson sympathizer. I guess filthy language about women is worse to her that beating (and possibly murdering) women.

Again, this is coming from a network actively pursuing the narrative that women are prostitutes or at the very least sluts. Calling someone a cunt is bad but it's not like he's trying to convince people that she is a walking genital. It's obviously in jest.

i don't see a sexist thread running through louis' stuff but on this thread several people have mentioned that his material about women is often the weakest part of his sets, and i agree with that
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 March 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
like, a lot of sexism (like a lot of racism) is just dumb blind-spot type stuff that nevertheless manages to be pretty offensive in a bad way and louis does seem to have a few blind spots about women (maybe a bit like his earlier, repented-for blind spot about casually saying "fag" in his sets)

Dunno if anyone else caught this, but CK announced a little while ago that Susan E. Morse, Woody Allen's editor from Manhattan up to Celebrity (as well as The Warriors), will be editing the new season of Louie.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 13 March 2012 13:47 (twelve years ago) link
oh wow, that's really interesting. he said a thing about editing previously that i liked:
In some ways not editing yourself would be like a sculptor dropping some clay off at a guys house and saying “Make a naked lady chasing a bull. and do it nice.”
― john-claude van donne (schlump), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 13:50 (twelve years ago) link
I always figured that doing *everything* on the show (right down to music supervision!) would eventually get to be too much.

i don't really get why people are acting like the "louie model" of electronic self-distribution for his last album is a new thing, when it's what indie bands have been doing basically since the internet became popular. there weren't any comedy albums on bandcamp before now? i guess it's just because no big, popular comedians were doing it before him, but it's weird to me that people are acting like it's a thing he invented.
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 14:56 (twelve years ago) link
it was wildly successful for him, so others try to get on the coattails by saying "yes, I am doing this thing that SUCCESSFUL PERSON LOUIE DID" as a way to try to get money
― mh, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
because he did it for the video of his special, which is more like a movie? still not a new thing, except that it was a big comedian selling it for a cheap fixed price.

i feel bad for jim gaffigan because i heard him on like three podcasts last week say he was following the LOUIE MODEL to self-release his new album, it's not like jim gaffigan needs to ride on louie's coattails, but if he doesn't say that people will accuse him of ripping off louie's invention or something
