*They used to “laugh and call him names.” Now they’re all dead
I’m currently catching up on Toast of London. The Clem Fandango / voiceover bit is one of the finest running gags on the telly.

I never liked whiny moisture farmer turned know-it-all Luke Skywalker. But I absolutely adore the delightful and pure nerd-done-good Mark Hamill. His old man Luke looks Oscar worthy.

It’s taken a few days to understand why the demise of Louis C.K.’s career hurts so much. (He did terrible things, we all agree. This is not about that.) His work, especially on his eponymous TV show, was existential drama disguised as comedy, and a truly remarkable, unique look at the human condition. C.K. earned a place next to the likes of Charlie Kaufman, as a sort of post-post modern Albert Camus. The scenarios presented on “Louie” weren’t crafted for laughs as much as they were expressions of the absurdity of life and fragility of personality. I know what he did is inexcusable, but I’m crushed that we are losing such an insightful and self-sacrificing explorer of ugly questions about ourselves and being human few want to even think about. He lived his art, and it hurt people.
