Louis CK - Sorry (new standup special)
So, Louis CK released a new special on his website for 10 bucks called Sorry.
Anyone gonna check this out? A couple reviews I’ve read said if he wasn’t canceled before (he was) he certainly would be after this new one.
I thought his 2020 special Sincerely, Louis CK was hilarious.
Apparently a commercial ran for this during the new SNL last night.

I saw him live in March 2020 (having seen him at least half a dozen times before that)... and I just didn't think the set was very good.

I’m still on his email list and got the email about this yesterday. I was a fan of him prior to him being cancelled. I still kind of like some of his material, and especially thought Louie was a good show, but it feels kind of odd supporting him anymore.

Granted, this was early 2000s.
I was stunned to see Sincerely nominated for a Grammy or Globe or whatever it was. And I liked it too.

I thought this special was pretty lame. Definitely his worst special. Most of his bits were working from flawed premises, which tainted all the jokes. I think he's just been inside too long not talking to people.

I would definitely watch it if it was streaming on one of the four services I subscribe to, but I ain't paying 10 bucks for a one off special.

Unless he appears on HBO or Netflix I feel I have to go out of my way to see his comedy which I am not prepared to do.

Re: Louis CK - Sorry (new standup special)
People on Twitter are losing their damn minds over Louis winning the Grammy for his previous special (not this one).
He has still been cancelled basically. Nobody will hire him and no streaming or cable channel will do anything new with him.
He tours now and produces and pays for his own specials, which he sells on his website.
That’s all he has.

Not to mention he had already switched to self funding and doing stuff straight through his website even before his incident.

Re: Louis CK - Sorry (new standup special)
Yeah, he already had his website set up for audio and video downloads of his specials as well as that web series he made (Horace and Pete).
I’m kind of surprised he’s back to the point of winning a Grammy honestly. Like I said earlier in the thread, I liked his comedy at one point, but in a way it feels weird now. I really haven’t watched or listened to anything he’s done since he was “cancelled”.

It was sad searching for this thread and found how many times he hosted SNL and he was the biggest thing in comedy and now he has no chance of being on that show again.

Yeah it's real sad that he's being held accountable for his disgusting behavior.

He’s still good and will continue to draw big crowds for his standup shows.
He fucked up and he paid for it, he lost 35 million dollars and nobody will work with him again, including networks playing his latest work.
I still enjoy his comedy even though that apparently makes me a bad person.
both Sincerely and Sorry are real good Louis CK, Imo.

Re: Louis CK - Sorry (new standup special)
He was respected and held in high regard by other comedians too I suppose and Chris Rock hired him as a writer.
I know he was not a saint but I don't think he touched or raped anybody and could a apology be enough and proof that he learned his lesson and be enough to be forgiven?
People make mistakes and you grown and learn from them.

Now he is trying to find theaters for his new movie
I saw the infomercial on IFC for his stand up shows which was unique with those fake ads mixed in.

Louis C.K. is trying to rejuvenate his film career with a campaign to get theaters to screen his new movie, Fourth of July.
C.K. announced the film, which he directed and co-wrote, on his website Friday, June 3. The film is currently scheduled to open July 1, and there are some screenings lined up in New York City, Boston, and Chicago. In a letter sent to fans (published by The Hollywood Reporter) C.K. said he is “still compiling and constantly adding to the list of theaters,” but urged fans to chip in as well.
“Also if you would like Fourth of July to play at a theater near you, please contact the theater directly and ask for it,” he said.
C.K. co-wrote Fourth of July with comedian Joe List, who stars in the film as Jeff, a recovering alcoholic and jazz pianist, who confronts his family during their annual Independence Day vacation. C.K. also has a small role as Jeff’s therapist. The rest of the cast includes Sarah Tollemache, Paula Plum, Robert Walsh and Robert Kelly.
Fourth of July marks the first film C.K. has directed since I Love You, Daddy, which was canceled just before its intended release

Re: Louis CK - Sorry (new standup special)
Showtime dropped a Louis CK doc
https://variety.com/2023/tv/global/l...me-1235630475/
Showtime is not moving forward with Caroline Suh’s documentary on disgraced comedian Louis C.K., Variety has learned.
The feature-length doc was announced by Paramount Global exec David Nevins at the Edinburgh TV Festival in Scotland last summer. Nevins stepped down in October following internal restructuring.
Suh, who previously directed Netflix documentary “Blackpink: Light Up the Sky,” about K-Pop superstars Blackpink, was set to helm the project about C.K., which was billed as examining the comedian and his downfall as well as the wider #MeToo movement over the past six years.
At the time the project was unveiled, Nevins said the New York Times reporters who broke the story of C.K.’s sexual misconduct were involved in the doc.
“Louis C.K. is a slightly different situation [to Harvey Weinstein] and a great, great comedian who has come back in his own way.”

A slightly different situation to Harvey Weinstein? That’s an understatement. Not to defend him or his actions but they’re pretty drastically different in terms of what they did.

"Slightly different situation" to Weinstein. Yeah sure, only slightly.
