Wait. How did I not know Louis CK directed Pootie Tang? Should I watch it? It did not look like my kind of thing, but maybe it is my kind of thing!
It’s cappatown on the runny kine. Translation: It’s a puce of shit but it’s Louie’s piece of shit so see it.
Life’s too short. Hidden gem: yes. Puce: meh.
Puce of shit? I got the proofreading skills of a 1st grader.
But hey, you got “shit” right. Our first-graders know how to prioritize.
Massive meddling by Paramount fucked up Pootie Tang. Louie talks about it in this interview:

LCK: There’s parts of the movie I really do like. I hate the way the movie ended up, but the best thing that can happen to a director is to go through the worst possible version first — losing the thing, being humiliated, having it come out to terrible reviews.
SR: Roger Ebert said it should never have been released.
LCK: He said it’s not a movie — it’s like somebody took pieces of a movie and put it together. That’s exactly what they did. I sat there going, Oh, my God, this is the most trumpeted my name’s ever been. This is how I’m getting known, how I’m being introduced. And I’ll never make a movie again. And I haven’t.
