Louis' more engaging on camera than on the page — 3 years ago
I’ve had a mad crush on Louis ever since seeing him on Michael Moore’s “TV Nation” and his own “Weird Weekends.” So gangly, funny, sweet and in the middle of improbable situations, like auditioning to be a pro wrestler or meeting scary racist seperatists. Sadly, Louis’ charm is as an onscreen presenter and surrogate for the audience, not as a narrator/writer. Even when I was reading his account of Nevada brothels and it passed through towns that surround me, I was not really engaged at all. Really disappointing, but at least it’s something to own that’s related to “Weird Weekends,” as there seems to be no interest in releasing it on DVD here in the US.
