Text of the page (random words):
014 this episode aired weeks ago but i only caught up with it last night and my mind is still reeling the tv series louie 2010 present does a better job of showing us the uncomfortable complicated aspects of dating that amazing episode in which he sort of falls for the guy in miami than almost anything else i ve seen but no matter louis ck s shlubbyness he dates women who look like parker posey so consider me interested in this episode so did the fat lady when a funny fat woman flirts with him and asks him out and louis turns her down nota bene he spent the first part of the episode with a buddy on a bang bang that is they ate a full meal together at one restaurant then departed to another restaurant for another full meal it is the nadir of self destructiveness by a couple of fat guys they hardly speak as they eat themselves stupid during this bang bang they re not doing it for fun yet when louis and vanessa sarah baker walk along the riverfront and he offers her a half hearted you re not fat she lights into him on behalf of all the fat girls i m making you represent all the guys vanessa says why do you hate us so much and for an amazing seven minutes she lets him have it you should watch the full episode for the whole setup but the scene is available here louie loves to make its viewers uncomfortable the whole series puts its protagonist in the middle of the strangest most cringe making scenes it can cook up this one is no exception vanessa doesn t let up phrasing her complaints in a way that make us confrontation averse types watch our sympathies ricochet between her and louie she lets him have it but not without forcing you to see her perspective it s a genius rant one could complain and they have that the show s creator louis ck wrote the whole thing but i m not sure that line of attack is worthwhile in fact i have an abiding fascination with other moments in history when male writers recount amazing moments when they found themselves absolutely bawled out by a woman one of my favorites is captain john smith s account of meeting pocahontas in london in 1617 and having her rip him a new one for failing to observe the rules of kinship cemented during their time in virginia smith recounts her speech in full which ends condemning the english for their propensity to lie i m still not sure how i feel about the end of the scene as the two defuse the tension but what an amazing thing to see on tv what did you think posted by didion filed in enlightened fat phobia louie the curious case of women in film the woman problem in the media why feminism matters now tags fat girls fat phobia feminism louie louis ck parker posey sarah baker so did the fat lady 4 comments allison tolman is the real reason to watch fargo 5 june 2014 at first she seems like she s going to be just another part of the kitschy minnesota social landscape as created by the writers of fargo a series that uses the coen brothers 1996 film as a jumping off point and visual touchstone for a different story which they assert is true the show tricks you at first the character of molly solverson seems neither as central nor as astute a detective as she becomes by episode 2 or 3 but by that time you ve sort of fallen in love with her tolman is heavier than most tv actresses by which god knows she probably wears a women s size 10 gasp and prone to opening her gorgeous blue eyes just about as wide as they ll go she alternates observing a scene with an open mouth and pursing that mouth in thought and perhaps a little judgment all of which means that as you start to fall in love with her her modesty and her obsessive perceptive views of the people and crimes around her you realize that tolman is not playing this for laughs even as she is trained as a comedian rather we enter into the series via those beautiful eyes and connect to it through her combination of shyness naïveté and determination she brings a soft persuasion to all her scenes which is hard to do in a room full of big actors the show is getting attention for all its male stars billy bob thornton as the riveting mercurial hit man really he s wonderful here martin freeman hamming it up with an implausible minnesota accent as the hapless lester nygaard the terrific bob odenkirk as the dense new chief of police colin hanks as a singularly unlucky duluth police officer and adam goldberg as a competing hit man who memorably delivers half his lines in american sign language what i m saying is that our attention is and should be directed at tolman who is the real reason why the series works freeman s acting is starting to grow on me even though i still think he overacts his way through every scene i don t understand why colin hanks gets so many great roles well maybe i do understand and i feel slightly peeved at the show s insistence on getting so many yuks from minnesota lingo and way too many characters with low iqs but i ll keep watching for allison tolman alone she

years later 4 june 2014 i loved veronica mars that so cal noir series that ran between 2004 and 2007 especially the first two seasons her bitterness was so vividly explained the class battles between the haves and have nots always peppered the show even as it cynically reminded us as good noir does that the wealthy and privileged have the means to insulate themselves against justice no matter how much veronica tried to fix it the series was also funny with wonderful characters vinnie van lowe the comic genius of dick casablancas it ended too soon and remains worthy of re watching even now veronica kristen bell was razor sharp that nose that jawline that cutting sense of humor but the show was always fundamentally about her sadness her loneliness perfect noir perfect for those of us for whom high school remains weirdly mythopoeic considering that sharpness you couldn t be surprised by bell s post veronica career as veronica s opposite a privileged mean girl heroes forgetting sarah marshall parks and recreation the narrator s voice in gossip girl which made me realize that her capacity for bitchiness always underlay her success as veronica too veronica was the girl who directed her meanness at the mean girls overprivileged douchebags and corrupt cops who made it so hard for the rest of us now that we have a full length feature film made nine years later and famously with millions of fan driven kickstarter dollars does it still work is this the kind of movie that anyone can enjoy not just fans of the series i doubt it especially if you re paying for it wait till it s on tv and who knows maybe it ll propel you to the series after all will fans of the series be happy with this film absolutely more details below but it feels like a tv show not a film this film offers many pleasures not least the way it managed to find every relevant actor to reprise his her role from the series the awful madison sinclair amanda noret the queen mean girl the stoner corny jonathan chesner whose appearance made me squeal with delight even veronica s temporary flame on the force leo d amato max greenfield not to mention the most crucial people including veronica s father enrico colantoni weevil francis capra and of course wallace percy daggs iii and mac tina majorino lucky that the plots pivots around neptune high s 10 year high school reunion because otherwise you d shake your head at the crazy confluence of familiar faces but the real reason veronica has returned to town is that once again logan jason dohring finds himself accused of murder they haven t seen each other for nine years and veronica has remained with her public radio boyfriend piz chris lowell ever since on the verge of landing her first post law school job in new york as a corporate lawyer she agrees to help logan find a defense lawyer like for one weekend only like she has that kind of self control to his credit logan seems to have changed he claims it s his duty in the navy whatever it is he seems unusually soft spoken and lacking in the sociopathic tendencies that peppered his long history with veronica he now seems so self possessed almost like a stand up guy on the other hand because of his past no one really doubts that he might have the capacity to murder someone no wonder wallace and mac can see trouble around the corner in case it slipped your mind piz is the one without the baggage and the drama wallace tells her while mac chimes in i will say this for him he almost never gets charged with murder just one of the things i love about piz no drama veronica throws back at them no one believes her sure enough before too long she has dug out her old dark high school era clothing for nighttime sleuthing has scented out good reasons to believe a conspiracy is afoot and she finds herself in logan s convertible lit by the water and the neon and the jonesing for that crazy connection the relationship that was epic spanning years and continents lives ruined bloodshed as she tries to resist she likens logan s appeal to an addiction she has broken or maybe she s still in recovery do i get a chip for this pouring the drink swishing it smelling it leaving the bar without taking a sip is this what getting clean feels like serious question will this calm version of logan still be as good a kisser that was a primary reason to enjoy his appearance all those years ago and i have my doubts about this one tag line he may have been a sociopath but a damn good kisser i have only one complaint about this film besides the kissing question that it is a film and not a two hour pilot for a briefly revamped series with a clear end date say 12 episodes director rob thomas certainly left enough openings for future work the corrupt police force etc and with her knowledge of the law this veronica might be even more of a force to be reckoned with but i also have a lingering sense that this veronica won t take and the important problem is the mythopoeic nature of high school in tv series something about a teen detective navigating poisonous social politics and corruption works in a way that a 30 year old who s passed the bar will not as much as i enjoyed every minute of this film with its cameos and repartee and that revived thing between veronica and logan maybe it s time to let it go to let this be our swan song that one night high school reunion return to old friends old flames seriously though piz surely she could have found someone else by now that s just sheer laziness veronica think about the kissing posted by didion filed
