Louis C.K.

[dragonflie]

But Louis CK has been divorced since 2008 (in that quote Kirkman says the man was married...) If the incident happened before 2008 I wouldn't say Louis C.K was at that powerful level - at all really.

Unless of course she is referencing her want to talk about it now- but that it happened before 2008. I made the assumption she was told to keep her mouth shut when it happened, not 7 years later... but that could be incorrect. (basically- I'm just confused- mostly when it is coupled with the Stanhope stuff... which also confuses me because Stanhope is NOT powerful/genius level filmmaker- and that descriptor fits Louis CK to a tea).

Things that make you go hmmmmm...

The NYC premiere of his new movie just got cancelled because there is a New York Times story on him that is about to break.

Doesn't sound good.

His new movie would have been embarrassing and culturally tone deaf even without the NYT story.

Louis C.K. wrote, directed and stars in I Love You, Daddy. The comedy-drama tells the story of a successful TV writer-producer who attempts to stop his 17-year-old daughter's (Chloe Grace Moretz) growing admiration and relationship with a 68-year-old filmmaker (John Malkovich).

If you, like me, immediately thought this sounds Woody Allen-esque, it is!

The film pays homage to the cinematic work of Woody Allen, particularly the 1979 film Manhattan. In the Allen film, a 17-year-old girl (Mariel Hemingway) begins a romantic relationship with a 42-year-old man played by Allen.

A common criticism of I Love You, Daddy is that the film parallels the long-standing sexual abuse allegations against Allen. "We're at the bleeding edge of 'That's not OK to do now,' but those people are still around," C.K. said about dealing with the controversial topics in the film. "That's a very interesting line to be on."

It's interesting all right, and guess what dummy, we're over that edge. It's NOT okay to do NOW. Oh, and we all know those people are still around. It's become abundantly clear. Going with the old "it's art!" routine to defend this shit doesn't work anymore.

Man, I was hoping that stuff wasn't true.

Also, that has to be the worst timed film ever.

OT but I loved Calvin! Actually, I really liked The Fashion Show as well.

It's about damn time. I can't stand this creepy asshole.

His brand of comedy never worked for me. For some reason, he totally seems like a guy who would masturbate in front of you (if you're a woman).
