Man, this show Louie. It is quite a thing.

I have never seen a comedy show with so little comedy. I mean, it gets called a comedy show but really it's not. It is art.

As it turns out, it is good art. Very thoughtful, very creative. The laughs are just occasional and not reliable but an emotional response, I can pretty much count on. More than almost any show I could name, after every episode, I will be pondering what I saw for awhile. Days. All week.

I took me awhile to get my expectations out of the way but now I am hooked. It is amazing.

Agreed. You are welcome for recommendation

I'm gonna see him perform in NYC next month. You might want to check if his tour stops in trawno.
 
I kinda remember an earlier Louie C.K. show. I think it had that annoying chick from Californication (???) I didn't have a chance to get to know it but the bits I saw, it struck me as a more typical sitcom. Maybe not.

I have seen his stand up and guesting on various talk shows. He's great. I bet he could put together a really, really funny sitcom. Maybe he will someday. I would enjoy that.


But this show . . . it's something else. Dude is a poet.
 
Extreme Prejudice - Not one of The Nolte's best offerings, but tons of obligatory 80's violence, Maria Conchita Alonso's tits and Powers Boothe. Which is always fun. This was RIGHT before the bottom started to fall out on The Nolte's looks btw. In case you cared. LOL. KIT BFF.

Bronson - Tom Hardy's dick. It happens. A lot.

Masters of the Universe - In my unending quest for the worst movie of all time, there are a few factors in play. One important one is, I need it to be a somewhat unknown gem. Sure, we all know how bad The Wicker Man was, but how many folks lament the wonderful ineptitude of films like Miami Vice (2006) or The Godfather?

OK probably everybody, but I feel like I'm perpetually entitled and better than you, so I like to think I'm the only one.

But what I'm trying to say here is that The Masters of the Universe flew under my radar for gosh darn near 20 years! Travesty!

Oh wait I just checked. TWENTY FIVE YEARS!!! THINK ABOUT THAT!! What were you doing 25 years ago?

I bet Reno was sucking the skin off a potato just to survive. Plommer was asking a buddy his thoughts on whether he should get a prostitute or if it was just wrong by God. Juror was white. Steve was an embryo!

I liked that movie. A lot.

Green Dragon - A bunch of Vietnamese people, Patrick Swayze, Forest Whitaker and a dog named Boo. Whatever.

Louis CK comedy special - I've heard a lot of talk about this character both here and St. Elsewhere. I checked this out to start. Did not disappoint. A wonderful angle on all things f'd up life. Particularly loved his analogy on why men/boys F things up and girls/women are just F'd up. Quite clever.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape - First rewatch since it was out like 20 years ago. I know all the Hollywood big boys take their shot at playing a retard. GoatMilk's boy DeNiro did well. Penn did a solid job. Bacon failed horribly wonderful in 'Digging to China.' But I gotta tellya, I couldn't root for Depp to slap around DeCaprio's fucking annoying retarded character soon enough. God I hated that kid. So very very much.

And I'm a pretty nice person.

But even once you get past that, the movie is dumb. For my small town simple story beautification, Nobody's Fool sets the bar and Gilbert Grape takes a shit on it.
