I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This is as funny as an autopsy as graphic and as funny as I would imagine a public beheading to be.This special made me want to spend the entire day outside. he represents everything that America has to flush down the toilet in the morning. This is not humor, its more like sacrificing your brain.please?
I've never seen any of his other work so I have nothing to compare this with... and I only watched this because I read that it was so spectacularly bad, I wanted to see for myself.he could have been forgiven for hir politics if only he was creative and funny. . It's like the chubby girl who has been told by her parents that the peach dress she's wearing looks great - and then when she wears it outside, still stubbornly believes that it looks great because her mum and dad are right and the rest of the world must be blind or something!Any wit, timing and humanity are absent from this performance and her pretentious and relentless charade of worldly defeatism doesn't work. Being gross can be funny but there has to be some context, some originality and some relative experience for the viewer to engage with.
Louis CK has always been pretty much a hit or miss for me. I never really found all his stuff to be funny, but some of it was. Just like his show, some of the episodes were good, some weren't. This show, routine, special, whatever you want to call it, was just awful though. I mean even in the middle of it he stops for twenty seconds just running the clock out and that wasn't the first time he took the long, long pauses. He even looked like he was tired, struggling and not really into it. The material was lame except for maybe one joke. His dog routine was not funny. The one about his daughter was not funny and the one about Magic Mike was just painful. Anyway, I'm not saying don't watch it. I'm a firm believer that everyone should make up their own minds and what may be trash for me is maybe treasure for you. All I'm saying is don't go in expecting a lot. I don't care who you are, there are universal measures of good and bad, and this is just not good.
Louis C.K. starts this standup special with abortion and we're off. He tackles Caitlyn Jenner, Magic Mike, and sucking dicks with his irreverent takes. Anybody who loves his left turns would find this fun. The formula is familiar to any of his fans. It shouldn't be too shocking although Jenner may not appreciate his take. I've heard worst. He's not really hitting too hard. This is definitely his style even if his knife isn't super sharp. It's good fun for his fans. As an aside, I like its up-to-date quality without being date specific. I made comments about the last Dave Chappelle Netflix specials that some of it felt dated. This special has none of those problems.
