While exact figures are unknown, Deadline reports that C.K. is paying $5 million (the cost that the Orchard paid for the film) as well as any marketing costs incurred in the lead-up to the film’s cancellation.

That's dumb. The movie wasn't going to earn a lot of money before the controversy, and if HBO/Netflix/Amazon won't touch it, it has no chance of making money.

Unless he's gambling on this whole thing blowing over in a few years.

I'm thinking it will. Everyone is losing their fucking minds right now, and they will feel like a bunch of retards when they finally snap out of it. Lives are definitely going to be wrongly ruined after this stupid hashtag battle ends, and that's probably what it will take to end this horseshit, but Louie threw a fire blanket over himself by just fessing up to it and backing into the shadows.

I dont know dude, youre absolutely right but with has stupid as people have gotten, I dont know if I see the hipster feminists and progressive dad types snapping out of it for at least a few generations

Oh, those folks are always going to exist. I'm just thinking that these people are pushing too hard for this, and they're actually offending real victims at this point by exaggerating harassment claims.

Al Franken going down and then Moore winning the election still might change some people's minds. They'll see another failed play out of the DNC's playbook, and see this for what it is: another attempt to claim the moral high ground by doing immoral things. That shit never works in the long term.

Sounds like somebody needs to stop hanging out with soy boys

I don't know what that means

Soyboys (from my understanding) are guys that have low testosterone because they eat soy products (vegan shit, like tofu), and soy has been loosely tied to low T. I don't get this guy's application of the term to you, but whatever.

I thought cuck and snowflake were actually more specific versions of fag in their own ways, until these fucking faggots started to turn everything into an "I am rubber you are glue" completely retarded argument, a cuck is a fat kid with a beard whinily defending people that would kick his ass rob him and give him a pistol-wedgie in a second, a snowflake is an attention seeking, boring 64th gendered idiot who's entire world view is deluded by their own uninterestingness in any other way besides their contrived sexuality, not sure what theyre trying to do with "soyboys", but however you try to spin it, a faggot is a fucking faggot, its never been more true than now.

The problem that I have with that is that you're actually getting involved and caring about the discrepancies. I just call them fags, and wipe my hands.

you had me on your side until you did the "some of my friends are gay but they're not fags" we get it

I've found that many people who use "snowflake" on others are a snowflake themselves.

Meh, from what I've seen a "snowflake" is one of those people with green hair and insist theyre 64 1/2 part gender positive and have certain needs that need to be met accordingly, calling someone arguing back with them online a snowflake back is just that liberal "no im not you are" idiocy. But I believe there are exceptions

That's because you're also a snowflake.

Sounds well thought out

Same goes for "fuccboi." Just call them a tool.

okay grandpa

Fuck you, you cuck ass, fuck boi old timer. Get with it..

because soy works as an estrogen

You think that's what caused Opie's tits?

The Soy Boys are anyone who hangs out at the compound.

Everyone is losing their fucking minds right now, and they will feel like a bunch of retards when they finally snap out of it.

-some idiot talking about desegregation 60 years ago

face it chico, come election time in 11 months we will all see people approve of this bullshit by voting Dem and boom this will be the new reality

Mel gibson is in a cool buddy flick with vince vaughn.

Louies thing was like 1 100th as bad as mels. I guarantee the apology interviews start in march

Even “Gap” was technically released, and even sold 6 or 7 copies.

Meanwhile Louie’s magnum opus will never see the light of day.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but...looks like Paul O wins in the end.

A GGGGGah

AH G-G-G-G

The ghost of Gail O strikes

I watched Gap, and laughed at it. I will never do either for "I Love You Daddy"

Title should have been

'Louis CucK pays six million dollars for his own faggy movie'

Louis should be on tour right now. It's one thing to be known as a pervert. It's another thing to be known as a has been pervert.

This is a mistake... not too mention whatever he’s already spent on this flop, he’s going to lose at least another $5M more to release it himself? No one is going to see it. Sorry bout it, Lou.

I tried to find it on Putlocker, but it wasn't there. I don't know; I might pay like 2 bucks to stream it to see what the big deal was all about. Plus, that Chloe Moretz chick is hot, even if she does have linebacker shoulders.

She looks like a shovel, save your time

She’s not hot. She is horrifying. Her genetic code needs to be studied by a team of scientists to determine how the complete certitude of her becoming a beautiful woman went so drastically awry.

Ahh she just has wide shoulders. I can move past that.

You have a heart of gold

the only reasoning i can think of is she decided for kick ass 2 she would take steroids and actually look like a heroine and it fucked up her body and can't be reversed, either that or she was born a guy and her parents shoved drugs down her throat to get money from her being an actress and once she got old enough she stopped taking them, thats why come absurdly late puberty she has the body of the sort of white man that used to beat up Ant back in high school.

the fact that her parents are both in the medial field really helps with this theory.

I don't know what she ate, but she must have been on whatever is the exact opposite of soy.

It's infuriating that he has $10m (5m for the film, 5m for the P&A) to throw away on this vanity project.

Envy is a sin

especially now, i mean Louis clearly doesn't have 10 mil now and is like a year from being Ant's new co-host

I would view Ant going back to installing air conditioners as a more likely outcome

He's going to make his money back. 2020. Maybe even 19 and he'll be back. And when he comes back he'll either be on in the middle or center-right politically. He probably will be more popular than ever. It will be the best ever heel turn.

I would love that. To get the old Louis back coming out swinging

Louis has made some dumb investments in his life, and this is no exception. He blew all that standup money on vanity projects like Horace and Pete. This is no different.

Had he waited for another year or two, he could have bought the rights to the film for pennies on a dollar. Even though there are plenty of suckers out there who would dole out $9.99 on his own website to watch the movie, that's still 600k+ is actual sales to break even.

Maybe his thinking is, self-release it later and build enough buzz so Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or Crackle buy the distribution rights. That's where the money is. But still, 5-6 mil with no theatrical release and no distributor. Bad deal.

Yeah good point I don't know what he stood to gain by buying it so soon. Either they release it later because they want to make at least some of their money back, or they never do and he buys it for way less.

He also once spent his entire net worth on a tuba and immediately regretted it after jerking off. We're not exactly talking about Warren Buffett here.

Hes definitely more mexican than jew

It's not that bad. $6 million is stupid but he purchased the global rights. He could release it on his dumb site for $10 tomorrow and resell the rights once he rebuilds his career a few years from now.

If Louie's heroes can still make movies overseas after raping children, he should eventually be able to get his money back.

It just seems like a pride thing to me. He just wants his shit back. If someone else has the rights to it, they can hold it hostage. He wants his shit under his control, even if it has a huge stain on it. I don't blame him for that. Completely understandable.

It's probably desperation.

This is the last movie he's going to be able to make with all of his celebrity friends now that he's radioactive in America. He needs this movie to prove that he has director chops and is still able to make money.

If he left it on the shelf, all he'd be able to put together is an indie feature with 0 names and that would be the death of his faggy auteur dreams.

Once the next big hashtag starts, he will probably be okay. These people freaking out about this are like Pomeranians. They'll forget everything once they are distracted over here. He'll need a little bit of downtime after they do that one. Maybe two, or three hastags later, he'll be okay.

This is the last movie he's going to be able to make with all of his celebrity friends now that he's radioactive in America.

He's gonna be filming adaptations of one-room stage plays with a cast consisting of him, Ant, and Nick DiPaolo, the only ones who will work with him. That actually sounds a lot better than Horace and Pete.

the death of his faggy auteur dreams

If there was any silver lining to me in this whole fiasco, it was knowing that Arthouse Louie was finished. There's a weird quality in Louie's recent TV output (Horace and Pete, and later seasons of Louie) where it seemed like he was trying to establish himself as an important cultural voice. If his creative endeavors continue along the lines of I Love You, Daddy (just typing that makes me hope CK and his immediate family are raped and murdered), then I'm not looking forward to seeing him return - assuming his career resumes at some point, which I can't say with any certainty.

I predict he blows his millions and he's back to being a road comic again. Similar to how Tim Allen used to be a household name, and now he's just another road comic.

He wouldn't make even a million back selling it on his site. This isn't some innovative new way of selling standup like the Beacon show. This is a pile of shit almost nobody wants to see.

Louie had a great deal of good will back then. People who could've pirated it paid for it because Louie seemed like a good guy.

$895 to watch Louis jerk off as a film maker... Some women got to do that for free.

Had he waited for another year or two, he could have bought the rights to the film for pennies on a dollar.

I have a strong feeling this was a contract thing, you really think Louis wants to pay for this shit? he's not retarded and unless he is planning on releasing it this month, there is no reason why he would buy it especially at this price

Yeah, you are correct.

Mike Judge got fucked in a similar manner: he made a deal with MTV where he would do a new season of Beavis and Butthead, if they'd sell him the rights to the characters. The idea being that the show would become a regular thing on MTV again, like 'Catfish.' MTV aired one season and then sent him on his way.

That film looked retarded

Seems like this is a make-good move because he feels guilty for his fuck up ruining this film. Based on his initial statement I bet Louis will be putting his energy into apologizing in various ways for the foreseeable future.

I doubt he forked over $5,000,000 because he let a few "people" down.

I think it was more of a "(((we))) know what you've really been up to; give us back the money or we'll release that info, and you'll never work in the biz again" thing.

That's what he is saying I think, he's not letting the "fans" down, he's letting down the fellow Jews who paid for it.

I just read the article. This is nothing short of financial sodomy. It's a full refund, including "any marketing costs incurred in the lead-up to the film’s cancellation".

The paper the contract was written on wasn't free, either, (((fellas)))!

(((They)))'re literally turning him upside-down and shaking every note and coin out of his pockets.

It really is hilarious how his entire life was ruined by one off color joke made to two cunts without a shred of proof. And his bullshit white man guilt made him admit it. What a cuck

Nigga worf 25mil.

He'll be alright.

This is sad. I feel sorry for him.

5 million! This nigga's career is finished and he's dropping that on this film? I understand he financed a majority of it so he just wants to make his money back, but where would it go? Who would want it? You paid a lot of money to make it, now you're paying more money to own it.

I didn't want to see Louie destroyed over this, but he DID fuck up. I just hope he doesn't put a gun in his mouth, which every feminist shithead wants him to do right now.

I want to tell Louis that I find him repulsive, but that would probably just make him cum.

Oh, those folks are always going to exist. I'm just thinking that these people are pushing too hard for this, and they're actually offending real victims at this point by exaggerating harassment claims.

Al Franken going down and then Moore winning the election still might change some people's minds. They'll see another failed play out of the DNC's playbook, and see this for what it is: another attempt to claim the moral high ground by doing immoral things. That shit never works in the long term.
