Louis C.K. Mega Post!

OK, so last night was a big for the BS Report studio: the great Louis C.K. stopped by for a lively chat about his new comedy special ("Louis C.K.: Live at the Beacon Theater"), his superb FX comedy Louie, the story behind the famous Dane Cook episode, the ups and downs of his standup career, his creative process, and topics like "Why does Hollywood try to meddle so much with creative people?", "Can Chris Rock become a serious actor some day?" and "Is it OK to want to beat up kids in your daughter's school without actually beating them up?" Somehow we babbled on for two parts without ever mentioning Boston (he grew up there), the Celtics (he loves them) or boxing (his favorite sport). Maybe next time.


Listen to Louis C.K. on ESPNs BS report with Bill Simmons.Collapse )

    

Highlights:
-- talks about plans for the holidays (involves turning back the clock 3 hours on new years to get the kids in bed by 8, getting pussy)
-- every time he curses it's replaced with "NICE TIME"
-- dreads hosting the correspondents dinner and predicts it will be a trainwreck


Part 2 of the interview under the cut.Collapse )

hi. So it's been about 12 days since the thing started and yesterday we hit the crazy number. One million dollars. That's a lot of money. Really too much money. I've never had a million dollars all of a sudden. and since we're all sharing this experience and since it's really your money, I wanted to let you know what I'm doing with it. People are paying attention to what's going on with this thing. So I guess I want to set an example of what you can do if you all of a sudden have a million dollars that people just gave to you directly because you told jokes.

Another statement from louisck.netCollapse )
Hero alert! Props to anyone who bought the special! And thank you to the mod who kindly told me the videos hadn't embed. I have hearts in my eyes for everyone. xoxo

To those who might wish to "torrent" this video: look, I don't really get the whole "torrent" thing. I don't know enough about it to judge either way. But I'd just like you to consider this: I made this video extremely easy to use against well-informed advice. I was told that it would be easier to torrent the way I made it, but I chose to do it this way anyway, because I want it to be easy for people to watch and enjoy this video in any way they want without "corporate" restrictions.

Please bear in mind that I am not a company or a corporation. I'm just some guy. I paid for the production and posting of this video with my own money. I would like to be able to post more material to the fans in this way, which makes it cheaper for the buyer and more pleasant for me. So, please help me keep this being a good idea. I can't stop you from torrenting; all I can do is politely ask you to pay your five little dollars, enjoy the video, and let other people find it in the same way.

Sincerely,
Louis C.K.


I FUCKING AGREE. Jesus. It's $5. You tell them Louis.

So accurate. I mean, I pirate music like a fiend, but it's $5 fucking dollars and the quality is so...IMMENSE. Truly, I was like, "This? For $5?" Probably the best made purchase of this year, and I really sat here for about 3 minutes, thinking about it before typing that statement. And I've bought a lot of good things this year, just sayin'.

Someone wrote on wikipedia that he's gonna spend the $220,000 left to buy himself a new penis lol
invisiblemonkey 23rd-Dec-2011 12:22 pm (UTC)
Not watching before I get a chance to buy it, tbh.

I'd feel guilty, not about not paying because I pirate the shit out of everything, but about not supporting such an excellent idea.

Ya know, I love Louis CK, and I bought the special, and I wasn't that amused by it. There was legit only two or three bits that made me laugh out loud.

I mean, I'm not pissed, cos it was only $5. But I am unimpressed.

'That leaves me with 220k for myself. Some of that will pay my rent and will care for my childen. The rest I will do terrible, horrible things with and none of that is any of your business.'

looool
nothingcleva89 Your Fav Bit?23rd-Dec-2011 05:06 pm (UTC)
I bought it the day it came out and have watched it 5 times already! I STILL die laughing every time too. Every bit is at least hilarious and some MUCH more hilarious. "Zanderpuss" was probably my favorite bit, besides the thing about the phone call to Hertz.

(If you haven't, DO buy the special. You won't regret it. Go without McDonald's or whatever the fuck, and just, BUY it.)
denisecky Re: Your Fav Bit?23rd-Dec-2011 08:49 pm (UTC)
lol, Zanderpuss was hilarious. "You're raising Hitler, do something about it!" Or something like that.

I loved the part where he smoked pot with 20 year olds in the car parking lot, and the bit with the drive through lol. Tears of laughter were streaming down my face.

Wow...a million in one week. Good for him and great that he's shared what he is doing with all the money.

It kinda blows my mind how he went from nobody (to non-comedy nerds) to being big news. I interviewed him for my little blog in 2003--I just emailed him and he said yes.
