benkling: If you like Louis CK or you like comedy or you’re a friend who trusts my taste in things, drop five bucks on Louie’s Live at the Beacon. He’s selling it independently on his site, free of DRM and without a major distributor, which is a risky business model: To those who might wish to “torrent” this video: look, I don’t really get the whole “torrent” thing. I don’t know enough about it to judge either way. But I’d just like you to consider this: I made this video extremely easy to use against well-informed advice. I was told that it would be easier to torrent the way I made it, but I chose to do it this way anyway, because I want it to be easy for people to watch and enjoy this video in any way they want without “corporate” restrictions. Please bear in mind that I am not a company or a corporation. I’m just some guy. I paid for the production and posting of this video with my own money. I would like to be able to post more material to the fans in this way, which makes it cheaper for the buyer and more pleasant for me. So, please help me keep this being a good idea. I can’t stop you from torrenting; all I can do is politely ask you to pay your five little dollars, enjoy the video, and let other people find it in the same way. Sincerely, Louis C.K. I hardly ever purchase anything that could be acquired illegally, but Louie deserves it. He does good work and I feel good putting a Lincoln in his pocket.  If this cut-out-the-middle-man experiment of his works out, it has important implications for the future of capitalism, internet commerce, and art. Yes. Yes to all of this. Louis CK deserves it, and this special is insanely funny. Didn’t even second guess throwing him $5. Now you do it.

If you haven’t already seen the Aaron Sorkin walk-and-talk from 30 Rock, you must see it!  60 seconds of purely brilliant television.

“I’m Aaron Sorkin… West Wing, Few Good Men, Social Network…”

“Studio 60?”

“Shut up.”

BOOOOM. The best.

Die Laughing was so well done and pulled off phenomenally. The Kevin Bright crew should be proud! This is the stage, complete with the logo I designed for them in lightbulb form! Congrats guys!
