Go buy Louis C.K.'s new comedy special so he can make another movie
Louis C.K. just spent a couple hours this afternoon participating in an open question-and-answer session on Reddit, and although we unfortunately found out about it too late to alert you to it so you could participate, so distracted were we by this photo of bats in blankets, he answered plenty of other questions that you can now dig through at your leisure. Not all of them were particularly informative—yes, he really has that much creative control over Louie; he doesn’t generally like to have sex with his female fans; he owns “oh my God so many black T-shirts”—but perhaps the most useful bit of actionable knowledge came when he was asked about doing another movie like the initially poorly received yet cultishly beloved Pootie Tang. According to him, if he can peddle his own comedy special—like the new Live At The Beacon Theater, currently for sale for $5 at his website—and “it makes, say, 8 million bucks,” then he would use that money to make a new movie in the same autonomous way he makes his FX show.
