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.
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.
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.
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
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’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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
