My friends and I had a small party to celebrate the premiere of "Louie." We howled with laughter (obvs) through both episodes, but the mood afterward was, "Better enjoy this while it lasts." Regarding that interview Gabe posted yesterday, I think Louis is right about compelling characters being more interesting and oftentimes funnier than television's standard comedic characters, but I don't know... It just felt like something was slightly off kilter. I honestly think he's handicapping himself on production value again like he did with "Lucky." Somebody give Louis C.K. some actual fucking money please so he'll stop having to do everything himself in iMovie! I like the control he has of course, but just give the guy enough capital to hire some talented support.
A note on the "moment of pause" since you're curious. A great writer named Barry Hannah wrote that "Death may be the mother of beauty, and sorrow and frustration are usually tied up in beauty in some way. But the pause, the pause between impulse and action; that makes beauty more times than you're aware of." ... But PSYCHE!!! I'm just into crazy shit so I wanted to see it!
The BEST stuff happens when working nights at motels. My buddy was the night manager of a Ramada Inn in Louisiana, and Tom Sizemore was staying there for a few weeks while filming some bull shit. Every night he'd have the worst hookers with him, and occasionally he'd come to the desk wanting to mail packages, but the packages would have no addresses on them. The night clerks would always say, "We're sorry Mr. Sizemore, but we cannot mail these packages!" and he'd just get angry and walk away leaving the packages. We were in my friend's office at the Ramada Inn when he told me this story and I asked, "Well what the hell was in the packages?" He pulled out a stack of open bubble envelopes with no addresses (just stamps) and pulled out a CD labeled "Tom Sizemore Sex Art" in Tom Sizemore's shitty handwriting. We popped it in his computer and he showed me a bunch of pictures of Tom Sizemore having sex with the hookers, but they had an effect on them that just made them all "heat vision" Predator style pictures. "Tom Sizemore Sex Art," ladies and gentlemen. The best stuff happens when working late into the night at motels. I rest my case.
If a Huffiington Post ("entertainment") story suddenly breaks that RAED is Ke$ha's ex-boyfriend and they have started a Team RAED / Team Ke$ha fake rivalry marketing thing, Videogum will have to please go 24 hours around the clock with a ticker at the bottom to follow the developing "kill me."
Hey guys, seriously though, and quick, what's the one where Keanu Reeves saves the day and entertains millions? (He just stopped by my place wanting to hang out and he looks SUPER depressed.)
What's that one Jenna Jameson movie where she takes a %@!#$ and then !@#@$ it in her #&!$#^*% and your Mom found it and made your family start going to church again?
I love this guy. I'm confused though, didn't he win? Did Oprah renege on the whole deal because someone more marketable - the girl with the Joker smile - lost the lead?
Anyone remember the Mr. Show sketch "Overcome" about the religious pressure group talk show host (Bob O.) and his homosexual guest (David Cross)? And how David's character had been gay, but then found the Lord, then lapsed again, but was now back:
"Tune in next week when Burton will tell us about his most recent lapse, and the lapse he has planned for August, which should take him to Rio De Janeiro!"
Such a great show.
Gabe, you and Max should know that press credentials should be taken VERY seriously. ESPECIALLY at Comic-Con (lots of spoilers!), so let's not make light of this!

I scrubbed through. Did anyone notice that half the time she's butt-dancing on top of a toilet in a bathroom stall that looks like a set from a Saw film??? What's the symbolism there?
That her career is starting - literally - in the toilet? So confused...
What does he mean "that commercial won't show in the United States"? I'm from Uhmerica and watch stuff from Frants like every day. Hasn't he heard of the interweb?
