Half the Tim & Eric thread is about this show so I think it deserves its own thread

Granted I'm only like 13 hours into this thing but it's possibly one of the best comedic achievements of the 21st century

also this video is wonderful and I watch it every day

Worth looking for: the episode of The Best Show from a couple years back where Tim and Gregg take up about an hour of the show arguing over whether or not Tim actually saw the Tom Cruise remake of The Mummy.

Herman Woke (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 15:44 (five years ago) link

I never really gave a shit about the Tim & Eric show but I am 100% on board with this as pure genius, Turkington hooking up with him was a godsend.
I'm on season 9.

feel like I'm doing a marathon to catch up but even then I can only watch like a handful of these in a row otherwise I will succumb to severe couchlock hypnosis

i watched the first episode of this afew days ago.....does it get better? or do you just have to immerse yourself in the voib for a few episodes before you can get into it?

. (Michael B), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 17:16 (five years ago) link

It’s my favorite television thing. You really need to immerse yourself (similar to the Best Show).

Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 17:18 (five years ago) link

Immerse, my friend. Let it wash over you.

Six seasons of uncritical plaudits for every film under the sun was a magnificent setup for Tim's excoriating Ant-Man review.

I Ate Those Food (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 17:19 (five years ago) link

I got into it through the spin-off, Decker.

Oh god there are Oscar specials and a 12 hour long youtube clip ;_; I am going to have to watch it, I'm afraid. These guys are unreal.

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 17:48 (five years ago) link

didn't realize it until I went back but Tim's speech was a lot less garbled pre-brain surgery

probably said this in the other thread but Tim's explanation of why he's paying for Ayaka's abortion despite being a staunch pro-lifer is the purest distillation of the right-wing ethos that I've ever heard

I don't know how to explain this to you but the "Stump the Buff" segment where Tim nails Gregg on the Star Trek/San Francisco trivia question is just as dramatic as the scene in Breaking Bad where Hank figures out who Heisenberg is

I thank u, sic, although I spent a long while watching a different, much less complete YT playlist (after starting on the even less complete playlist on that one website) so I just wanted to make sure no one else made my stupid mistake. I give this latest playlist five bags of popcorn and a hundred cups of soda.

I Ate Those Food (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 3 July 2019 14:28 (five years ago) link

The later seasons of Decker aren’t on youtube btw, but iirc they stop interacting directly with On Cinema episodes so it doesn’t stand out badly

(The two Ant-Man movies also don’t appear in the playlist, but do very much affect On Cinema video and twitter content )

forks if you were starting at an early point, try dropping in on a S4 or 5 episode, when the Tim vs Gregg tone is better established & there’s loads of backstory, to see if it pings any better with you

a couple of my old acquaintances recently started a video game podcast. I listened to one episode and thought about On Cinema the whole time. one of the guys has probably played 20,000 hours of video games but has absolutely nothing insightful to say about them, it's so spot on that I've almost come to view Tim & Gregg as real people

Thank u for reminding me of the Nut Job review, frogs. Tim's overreaction to Gregg's joke about it being the name of Tim's autobiography was my first big On Cinema laugh.

Just recently saw some Neil Hamburger footage for the first time since I started watching this show. I don't know how I'd forgotten the extreme disparity between the two sides of Turkington, but it was a stark reminder.

There's a part of an On Location when Gregg goes to SF to prove to Tim he's at the exact intersection where a scene in Star Trek 2 was filmed, but he is exactly one block off. That level of commitment is pretty lol.

american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 15 July 2019 15:39 (five years ago) link

the "tribute to our fallen actors" bit on the 2nd special that starts with a crossfade of Steve Harvey is one of the series' best moments, I was dying from laughter the whole time (and you can see Tim breaking when they cut to him), but if you showed that bit out of context to anyone unfamiliar they'd think you were nuts for laughing at it

the pleasure and the curse of this show is that everything else gets warped through its lens. for some reason i'm reading the Please Please Me review on allmusic, and how can you not read this User Review in gregg's voice:

"What a debut by a group or artist. Stunning smashes like "I Saw Her Standing There", "P.S. I Love You", "Do You Want To Know A Secret". and the closer "Twist And Shout" make this a must have album. Every song is worth hearing. Not too many artists get it right the first time out, but the Beatles did."

And Gregg really gets into it, and he’s going on about some horrible movie we found, and I look at JP and say, “The funny thing is, there’s a lot of Gregg in Gregg.” And he looks at me and goes, “There’s a lot of you in Tim!” And I go, “Really?” And he’s like, “Yes.”

also, a real review:

I’m not kidding when I say that Paddington 2 is the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. It’s so clever and funny. I’m not kidding. Watch it. First of all, everyone in the movie is a great, accomplished actor. It looks like Wes Anderson, but without being so heavy-handed. I liked this way more than I liked Isle of Dogs, which I feel is so in on its own joke. Paddington 2 has great British humor; it’s unpretentious, genuinely funny. Emotional. Very emotional. And [the first] Paddington is also good, but this one is better. And I wept.

I read a few years back that Gregg's character is based largely on his 12-year-old self.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 22 July 2019 03:11 (five years ago) link

With that in mind, how much do you identify with your character on On Cinema?

I think when I was 12 or 13, that was probably about where I was at. It was really before I got into punk rock, which was something I was only into for about a year before the corruption started to become apparent and I moved on. I was super, super into watching movies when I was a kid, and this was before home video was really readily available—or at least not readily available to me, because we didn’t really have any money for that—but I didn’t know anyone who owned a VCR or anything, so I was really into going to art house theatres and going to the multiplex and paying for one movie and then trying to stay there all day, slipping from one to the next trying to see as many movies as I could. I had a little book where I kept track of everything that I saw and rated them all. I was super into it.

I think that I kind of lost that interest at some point. I still like movies, but I might watch a couple a month—as opposed to that point, when I was 12 or 13, when I would watch, like, 40 a month and document them all. But I think that that character on On Cinema is less like me than Neil Hamburger is like me.

Until yesterday I did not know that Gregg was Neil Hamburger. Despite doing an (awful) internship at (interning here is) Drag City in 2006, I’ve never heard or seen any of his Hamburger material

bookmarkflaglink (jim in vancouver), Monday, 22 July 2019 17:41 (five years ago) link

yeah I don't think I would've ever put that together either. there's like one brief scene in one of the Oscar Specials (maybe the first one, after Tim pukes on the tapes) where he lapses into the voice.

frogbs, Monday, 22 July 2019 17:44 (five years ago) link

hah, I just posted that on the things I learned thread

I mean, I had read about Neil Hamburger, including his real name, a bunch of times. But it wasn't until now that I saw it mentioned and thought "wait... that Gregg... is this Gregg"

I’m glad you all didn’t know, either. Felt like some big obvious thing that was I was already supposed to know

Karl Malone, Monday, 22 July 2019 18:02 (five years ago) link

I've readily associated him with Neil Hamburger at least since McSweeney's put out Tim & Gregg's 'Bicycle Built for Two' screenplay in 2011, but I think I knew his real name before I even knew what a Neil Hamburger was (pretty sure they mentioned it in the Zip Code Rapists entry in the '90s Trouser Press Guide).

(Mentioned that Turkington was Hamburger, I mean.)

I'd like to hear more about your awful internship at Drag City Karl

badg, Monday, 22 July 2019 18:18 (five years ago) link

there's not much to say. i was hoping to learn something about how record labels work but instead they stuck me in another room away from everyone else working there, cutting cardboard squares to be packaged along with record shipments all day. i think after ever 8 or 16 hours i was given a free record of my choosing as my payment. no one talked to me, and i wasn't enough of a networker to saunter into the main office and try to convince them that i was worth talking to. on my last day, literally as i was walking out the door toward the train, one of the label people realized that i was old school good friends with a key musician that they were looking to work with and suddenly they became very interested in talking to me for the first time. but i so cool that i just let them know that i'd tell him drag city said hi next time i talked to him

the reverse side of this is that i looked like i was 13 even though i was 23, i looked like a drug addict because i'm really skinny, i was socially awkward, and actually i'm not sure if i ever talked to that cool musician i thought i was good friends with ever again, because he was busy playing one trillion shows and being cool and i was busy piling up life experiences that will good for my memoir which i plan on writing and publishing in a nursing home someday

Karl Malone, Monday, 22 July 2019 18:27 (five years ago) link

Sad lol? Sounds like a fairly universal intern experience. If it makes you feel any better there's a possibility one of your cardboard squares protected a record I love.

I was not prepared for Al Jardine's appearance in Decker 4. Although I probably should have been since my only time spotting Gregg in the wild in LA was outside a Brian Wilson show (w/ Al in the band) at the Greek a few years back. He was wearing a bowling shirt and holding court with a bunch of Gregg-heads. As always a true class act.

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi were never real brothers, they were "blues brothers." So you can have other "blues brothers" in life. John Goodman, I think, is a legitimate "blues brother," from Dan Aykroyd. And some of these other guys — you've got James Brown, B.B. King, the Blues Brothers Band, Paul Shaffer — these are all blues people, and this is a blues movie, and I love it and it will cure the blues.

Re: the Gyllenhaaal sci-fi/horror film Life

Tim: So...that's Life. (sings) 'Thaat's liife', one of those old sayings from Sinatra, and it is almost an homage to Sinatra.

Gregg: When i walked out of the theater after seeing Life this year, I turned to the ticket taker at the door and he said, 'how was the movie,' and I said, 'it's a wonderful Life,' and he got a kick out of that. That was a reference to It's a Wonderful Life from 1946, Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart. But this is a very different movie than It's a Wonderful Life. If you liked It's a Wonderful Life, I wouldn't say don't watch this because, if you liked that you're probably a movie buff and this is definitely a movie buff's type of film.

i've heard mixed reactions on the comedy (mostly bad), but at least this section sounds pretty good:

Swanson's friend Van (Eric Wareheim) shows the group a slide show of photos from his childhood interspersed with pornographic images as a gag. Despite some initial laughs, the group falls silent and everyone appears saddened, including Van, who solemnly continues the slide show.

What I refuse to edit out and now must live with for the rest of my life is my poor, unprofessional behavior throughout the night - I do not like to blame others but I will say that I was under the impression by a man named “Bryan” at Whole Foods in Los Angeles that the champagne marked “Organic” would be non-alcoholic. I also received the all clear from “Maria” at Rite-Aid that Mucinex would be helpful in treating my cold symptoms and that as long as I wasn’t DRINKING it wouldn’t impair my ability to do a great show. I was lied to and deceived by these two and they will pay in their own ways, separately. But, in the end, I’m an adult and must take responsibility for my own actions.

More than in a way- given Tim's (and Vic Berger's) focus on that exact type of person lately I feel most of his character takes direct inspiration. And Decker is straight up an alternate universe where Trump is an even shittier Steven Seagal.

wow tim plagiarized "empty bottle" from axiom, what a hack

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 2 August 2019 16:28 (five years ago) link

having missed previous Oscar specials I was a little confused about Mark's voice coming from his comatose gold-encrusted body - what exactly was going on there

Οὖτις, Friday, 2 August 2019 16:30 (five years ago) link

There was a moment during the 'Empty Bottle' reveal where Axiom suddenly looks totally crestfallen and Tim lost a little of his swagger, this subtle and brief but utterly magical moment where Ax seems to recognize that this monster has taken so much more than just his right hand. And then of course everything goes back to normal immediately thereafter.

I have a feeling that the path to building a filmography of 200+ roles entails accepting every acting job you're offered, scouring corkboards outside university film departments, stapling your headshot on telephone poles, etc. And in the process I'm sure you wind up in more than a few O_o productions.

Also the offhand joke (in I think Unsealed?) when deceased future Gregg is brought back to life and somehow also restored to what's referred to as his 'normal age' (presumably so he doesn't have to wear old man makeup anymore).

I feel like they could pull off a little backstory in a graceful enough way that it could be watchable for someone not familiar. I don't think they'd have to cover everything, but the festival and trial are the main past events the audience should know.

If you think the OCatC universe is nuts, back in the early/mid-90s the EasyGoings/Zip Code Rapists/Three Doctors universe was arguably more insane. It started out as Gregg/John as the Easy-Goings, which through the help of many TFUL282 members, morphed into The Zip Code Rapists and then as time went on (let me know if this sounds familiar) the band's live shows became increasingly passive-aggressive->angry->full on on-stage brawls between Gregg & John... which led to the dissolution of the Zip Code Rapists into a competitive feud between The Three Doctors (led by Gregg and his Caroliner bandmate Brandan Kearney) & Therapist John's Zip Code Revue (led by John), where most of each band's shows would devolve into bad mouthing of the other band (often by the other member in (or out of) disguise heckling from the "crowd") and more brawls.

I did a quick google to see if anyone ever documented all of this in the early web, but I'm having trouble finding any completionist summaries of the proto-Amarillo universe.

i still have season x and the 6th oscars special to go but i can't see how the trial and the 5th oscars special aren't the peak of the show. the trial of george lucas, 20th anniversary of the hbo movie the rat pack, mark almost dying, the mark RIP video having the same song as the electric sun 20 19 video, mark not dying, the jaws cake, and finally gregg's absolutely pointless theory that close encounters of the third kind is the real jaws 2

He's even seen all of Decker without realizing all the texture and context he was missing.

this was me for a couple years, I recently rewatched 'em all and they are so much better once you're familiar with On Cinema. it explains so much - why Kington is the "Master of Codes", why Tim is so zonked out during the Hawaii season, the whole "Gregg Turkington's Decker vs. Dracula" thing, and why the budget is so much higher from "Decker: Unclassified" on. like my main complaint about Decker was "there's a lot of weird random things going on" but it all makes sense if you watch On Cinema

frogbs, Wednesday, 18 September 2019 16:10 (five years ago) link

Even just those moments when Gregg clearly starts ad-libbing about one of his filmic obsessions and Tim loses his cool just before the scene is abruptly cut in the middle of a word. Or Gregg's reaction when Dr. San shows up.

The movie with Rihanna called BATTLESHIP was on at the gym last night and it is SO Decker... I was laughing very hard in particular at the scene where they decide to fight aliens with the USS Missouri which conveniently came preloaded with live ammunition and super old veterans perched all over the deck in various badass poses, ready to fight. For Decker heads it's a must watch. Only difference is the budget being slightly higher, and the target demo is frat bros.

Saw the brilliant stage show last night. First half was greatest hits: Axiom and Manuel opened the show with "DKR's first live show outside of the United States"; then Tim did a stump speech announcing a second run for D.A; Greg did a solo bit about the Victorville Film Archive and a "university lecture" with a powerpoint about the later careers of the actors from "Oh God"; Dekkar performed four songs including Bohemian Rhapsody, then Joe Estevez was introduced to a thunderous welcome and they all performed "Decker - The Play" (feat. Axiom and Manuel as terrorists). The second half was a long version of the show, ending with the audience submitting questions for "Stump the Buff" and everyone having a great time onstage. They brought the house down.

Strong disagree! It felt like a breaking the fourth wall thing. Everything about that review was perfect, but it was a downer that Gregg called him out on that. He should've discredited Tim just like he did, yet not go into Tim taking the Joker for DeNiro imo.

Want to see this “delusional dunce failing, and dragging others down with him” thing done better? Hunt up the Steve Coogan Brit-series about Alan Partridge, whom we meet as he launches his national TV talk and variety show

we met him as a radio sports announcer and followed him for four radio and TV series, an Edinburgh Festival show, an Arena appearance and a presenting gig at the BAFTAs before he launched his national TV talk and variety show, which Roger would know if he actually cared about comedy. this is why people get frustrated when they come to Roger's Movie Nation, they want real expertise, not someone bloviating about a topic they hardly know about

For the trial of Tim Heidecker, did you have actors with legal experience involved, or a legal procedure consultant? I was impressed with how accurate the procedural elements were during the trial.

TimandGregg

T: Yes, most of the lawyers and the judge were actors with legal experience. They added a lot of their actual expertise and knowledge of the legal process. We are infinitely grateful to them for their contributions.

G: The same was true of the police, medical, and emergency response witnesses

always suspected this was the case but nice to see it confirmed. i'm still in awe they were able to pull that off so convincingly

OTM. At the show the other night Gregg said that Mr America was "a one-or-two bagger at best". When Tim challenged him that he hadn't seen it he replied "I don't need to see it - I was there the whole time it was being made!"

Do you ever regret using your real name as your character’s name?

T: Sometimes I wonder if it would've been easier or more helpful to come up with stupid names but these are the choices we've made and we have to live with that every single day of our lives.

G: It definitely leads to schizophrenic tone to Tim's twitter account. As my Twitter account is only OnCinema related, definitely doesn't cast me in a good light overall.

Q: To what extent does someone need to know On Cinema lore to dig into this movie?

A: When we started this, we weren’t thinking about a theatrically released movie. It would just be something we put up on the Adult Swim website, as maybe a half hour. But as we were doing it, we realized it was working. It felt right. Our editor gave us a rough, two-hour cut and said “I don’t know, this feels like a movie.”

Nathan Fielder [of Nathan for You] looked at it early on and said “guys, this isn’t just for the website. This needs a poster. It needs to get reviewed.” So then we looked to restructure the first half for people who hadn’t watched anything from us.

If you watch, say, Making A Murderer or any of the thousand murder documentaries on Netflix, you don’t know everything about these people. A good documentary feeds you the backstory and moves you along. We don’t bombard you with “a film critic who started an EDM festival — “

I love how the Luke verse as employed in the episode doesn't exactly resemble any of the actual major translations of that particular Bible verse, and instead seems cobbled together from several different versions, fudging the meaning just slightly ("homeland" instead of "homestead") — but is still an actual verse

Cappy Ricks (Walter Brennan) has returned home from a long voyage at sea only to find that his family and business are not as he left them... Cappy Ricks knows he has to end the chaos and set things straight. He brings everyone on his ship as there he can be the Captain and in charge. He has a two day excursion extend into an 8 week voyage. Then they are lost on an uninhabited island. And as in other movies of that period, he uses the island to straighten out the arrogance of the rich ladies and the weakness of sons under mothers dominance.

If he survives I shudder to think how they’ll top “Tim plays with guns” as a theme.

I know they mentioned in a recent interview that they had previously scrapped an arc where Tim dies and is replaced by his twin brother. But they also recently established (I think in Mister America?) that Tim has no siblings currently living so I think that ship has sailed?

From the Guardian impeachment testimony live blog:

This is an action-packed few minutes of testimony. Castor and Nunes have tried to coax something from Hill and seem to have gotten something they did not bargain for.

Did they have coffee?

With Trump's senile jotted down notes and pathetic tweets, it's only a matter of time before he really does arrange a live screening of a WH staff meeting about his impending impeachment.

2019 was genuinely unhinged. Not enough props paid to Heidecker's chops, as he seemed like he might've legitimately tipped over the edge.

I really don't see how they do another full trial

uncrut gems (crüt), Monday, 10 February 2020 18:14 (four years ago) link

I've just finished Mister America and am only five episodes into season 11, so apologies if this is addressed later in the season or the special: do you think are we meant to take at face value Toni's explanation that it was her own decision to acquit Tim? I always assumed he paid a juror off (presumably with Delgado funds or a job offer, hence campaign manager). OTOH, she seems like a Trump voter so could see her genuinely responding to his insanity.

blatherskite, Monday, 10 February 2020 18:45 (four years ago) link

my feeling is that she decided to acquit him and only after the trial did they hook up but i don't think it's clear

Mordy, Monday, 10 February 2020 18:47 (four years ago) link

it's never cleared up - I assumed the juror payoff as well

Οὖτις, Monday, 10 February 2020 18:47 (four years ago) link

my partner and i have spent the last year catching up on this and finished just in time for the special last night. some thoughts:

* we both agree that the funniest thing they've done so far is when gregg showed up in the giant suit at the end of season 1
* the victorville season was the best
* the trial was amazing-- the fly and tim getting gregg to lie under oath re: star trek was incredible
* this is the best comedy of the moment but it's a really hard sell to people. "no no no trust me, it's incredible. but you gotta hang in there for the first 25 episodes"

hard to imagine Tim could pull something like this off without it getting immediately revealed during the trial. he is not exactly a cunning person. my view of it is that Toni is one of those people who gets really into stuff like QAnon - seems normal on the surface but has beliefs that are totally fucking crazy

my view of it is that Toni is one of those people who gets really into stuff like QAnon - seems normal on the surface but has beliefs that are totally fucking crazy

yeah this is my take too - she presents as normal/competent enough to be Tims liaison to the world as his campaign manager/assistant, but the more time spent listening to her the more clear it becomes that she is a complete mess

turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Monday, 10 February 2020 21:52 (four years ago) link

nxd, Sunday, 16 February 2020 19:41 (four years ago) link

Little details that made me laugh:

- Tim thinking Adam Driver had something to do with Fast and the Furious franchise, conflating with him with Paul Walker, who Tim declared several seasons ago should be renamed Paul Driver in honor of the series.

- The Heidecker Quartet actually being a trio, and frequently breaking. (I always wonder if these non-acting extras know the full extent of what will happen, or even what On Cinema is.)

I always assumed Axiom and Manuel were just paid lackeys but their "brotherhood" talk seems sincere at this point.

My girlfriend and I were so anxious during the calm at the table before people passed out, when it was all fairly mundane and sullen: we knew something horrible was bound to happen, especially with everyone gathered together, but no idea what. I was bracing myself for some sort of shooting incident, especially when LaRue entered and I thought the fake Mark might get unruly.

I want to watch this forever but simultaneously wonder how much more things can escalate, considering the body count the show has accumulated. In the long stretch before Axiom burst in, I actually thought this might be the series finale, and would have been satisfied.

the manuel and ax characters are used to portray the archetypal brotherhood/bro-dom exaggerated to absurdity. despite appearing as guitar center dwelling douchebags and being hired guns, manuel is still willling to give the skin off his ass for tim— and ax his hand! even through all the ups and downs of their relationships, they still say they'd be willing to do anything for tim, which is why i think ax eventually showed up at the end of the oscar special. at this point in their character development, they're that dumb kind of loyal like a dog. and they're some of my favorite characters because of it

wondering what kind of scam Tim is trying to pull on Toni, making her sign the annulment quickly and then changing his last name for some reason

also is it implied that he slept with the pastor? the way he kept looking at her instead of Toni...yeeesh

My read is that he sincerely loves Toni (or at least thinks he does) but he just can’t stop scheming and using people and chasing the next shiny thing.

Yeah, the musicians on the last couple Oscar specials have come closest to puncturing the illusion. One of the dudes from last year's kinda drove me nuts with his excessively-hammy 'I'M LIKE SO SCARED OF TIM RIGHT NOW!' mugging.

I feel like Tim & co. would probably take great pains to let the musicians and impersonators know what's up ahead of time. Like, he's not gonna start vehemently abusing people who don't know he's just fucking around.

Mark Proksch interview.

Between K-Strass and Good Morning Tri-State, what draws you to morning news shows?

It’s everywhere, so everyone can relate to it. It’s also the closest thing we have to amateur television that’s on every single day. Especially in smaller towns, there’s a realness there, where the person who went to high school with you is now the weatherwoman. There’s that familiarity that is interesting to me. Playing around in that local-news world is really fun.

That’s what makes us all laugh. We’ve been doing these watch parties every Saturday night — me, Tim, Gregg, Jason Woliner, Fielder — where we’re watching dumb stuff, awful YouTube videos and such. The real world is infinitely funnier than anything that anyone could script.

watching Tim and Gregg watch On Cinema was A+

Tim said they have tons of outtakes where they break into laughter and he teased a compilation. Evidently this is usually Gregg's fault for droning on too long and not being able to get out before he breaks.

I had no idea each season was filmed in a single day. I figured maybe over the course of a couple weeks or something....

I don't really find it surprising. it's a show which could only appeal to total heads. not going to win over many people flicking between channels. the youtube episodes don't even do particularly spectacular numbers. they have to fundraise to make the Oscar special every year. seems very much like a labour of love from them rather than something adult swim is keen for them to keep making

I saw him do pretty much this exact same set in 2015, except instead of his nag wife wanting to go to the opera, she said she wanted to go see the band Train. So he tells a story about driving to the Ticketmaster (complete with mouth sound effects of a car driving to Ticketmaster) and when he tells the guy there he wants two tickets to Train, the guy says "what do you think this is, Amtrak?"

Tim is a bit over earnest as a musician and music lover, which is an interesting stark contrast against his persona in regards to comedy. I think he's been a little wrapped up in feeling like a Real Indie Rockstar this past year especially, but I don't fault him! Glad he's having so much fun.

Tim's music influence is dad rock as far as I can tell but he seems to know a lot about top level indie stuff too.
Is that corny in 2020? I don't think so. It is hip to un-ironically like music that was previously firmly cheese & corn. Who doesn't like Elote?

Wow the end of that bit hit close to home.

Sorry, but I've seen you out in public and I know for a fact that you aren't constantly blowing people's minds and/or shocking them with your wit or your t-shirt or whatever it is you claim gets these cartoonish "reactions" all the time.

I'm already popping some popcorn for the 3:50 PM pre-show.

"Other" Oscar shows start late and provide ZERO information on who will win the coveted award. We start coverage early (3:50 VFT pre-show) and our Main show begins at 4:45 with an unprecedented opening that Movie buffs will be talking about for many years to come!

or am i overthinking completely and i should just watch them one after the other

I'd say a sync up is essential to the experience. Kinda surprised they haven't added that as an automatic option yet.

Gregg started earlier than Tim with a showing of the Popcorn Classic "The Affairs of Cappy Ricks", but you can try to sync them a few minutes into Gregg at Doc's house, when Gregg and Tim are talking to each other on the phone on air.

Gregg’s stream ostensibly started 14 minutes before Tim’s (but in practice was running a few minutes late, and lagged more as it went on). Try starting them with that split, and you can pause to sync them later if it doesn’t line up right.

one thing I really love about this series is how all the various parts are played by actors from totally different backgrounds with varying levels of acting skill. including a bunch of people you'll never see in a comedy show again. what other show has a cast like this?

frogbs, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 04:07 (three years ago) link

the real MVP is joe estevez. his improv skills are underrated. although it's impossible to work out how much is scripted and improv.

Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 09:07 (three years ago) link

I doubt much of anything that they have Estevez do (outside of Decker) is scripted in terms of learning lines, but iirc he's briefed more than the other regulars on the overall plot.

You get the impression, by contrast, Michael Matthews was given basically no prep for this: while his glee and confidence as Laroux in earlier stuff sell the character as created, here it felt like the actor was told nothing, so his own haplessness at improv sold Laroux' out-of-depthness.

bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 09:46 (three years ago) link

during "The LaRoux Report" there's the part where Gregg says "this report has no legal standing" and he goes "yes, it does" and that gets both Gregg and Tim to break so I imagine that line was ad-libbed

agreed though that Joe is the best, he's kind of the perfect companion for both of them - he's appeared in 200 movies but doesn't have anything interesting to say about any of them, and he's good-natured and affable enough to put up with Tim. plus he's enough of a D-lister to genuinely appreciate any kind of show who would want to honor him. he's probably my favorite guest on the show.

Toni is also very good, her character is very recognizable but not something you see represented a lot on screen. very dark humor to the bits where she's like "uh-oh, Tim's mad at me again!" and just heads to the bar (despite possibly being pregnant). only part of that character that doesn't work for me is her son who is way way too good looking to be a pissbottle gamer

Van Halen dot Senate dot flashlight (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 16:25 (three years ago) link

yeah tim trying to play games with matt was probably the hardest i laughed. the kid may be more goodlooking than your standard pissbottler but imo he is very good as a zero affect/no personality teen, perfect foil for tim.

nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 16:26 (three years ago) link

I completely lost it during last year's special when they showed a bunch of father/son stock images and then cut to Matt Newman

the part at 50:30: link

eisimpleir (crüt), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 17:03 (three years ago) link

I guess it makes sense in that Tim naturally gravitates towards good looking people - his DKR buds were (presumably) chosen for their looks, the CGI Tom Cruise Heidecker was a male model, he's always very particular about what people wear on the show - so maybe he just wants to be a father figure to him b/c he's good looking

felt like toni was breaking for most of the special but that was kinda great in itself, like it simultaneously works as a form of compartmentalization for the character for her to laugh at tim's abusive fugues,,,,, uh sorry if that's dark

yeah it was hard to work out how much of that was intentional. she clearly broke character when Tim was ripping off the posters but some of that was intended to be nervous laughter - watching her entire pyramid scheme crumble on live TV as Tim was wearing the face mask (which I thought really worked because Tim complains about literally everything), it felt like she was laughing just to assure the audience "it's okay, he's not really hurt". also I've kind of gathered her character is drunk all the time and possibly marked by past traumas and therefore she doesn't really give a shit about anything anymore

Somehow never heard about this show til like a year ago, despite loving Tim & Eric, but slowly watching everything in order has been an incredible time. Just finished season 8 on the timeline. Even with everything that's happened, the original elements of the show are still the funniest part / only get funnier. Though the most I laughed was probably the stock photo reveal at the end of each Port of Call: Hawaii: Save the Island opening -- caught me off guard every single time.

have been rewatching the series and catching a lot of stuff that I missed - first time "Empty Bottle" is played, Tim (presumably) puts the movie rating crawl at the bottom once the verses start, only to pull it once the "fill me up again" chorus starts, then puts it back during the hilariously bad second guitar solo

check back in once you hit Lucky Season 7, for that is where the show goes truly off the rails, never to return - it's got the Ant Man/Fantastic 4 episode, the introduction of Axiom and "Empty Bottle", Decker vs. Dracula, the first VFA episode, the Dr. San Forgiveness Special, and the Tom Cruise Jr story, plus probably the funniest/wildest intro segments and shoddy editing jokes...probably the single best season

making splashes at Dan Flashes (Neanderthal), Saturday, 24 July 2021 05:29 (three years ago) link

trying to figure out why I like this show so much, besides "it's just my kind of humor"

part of it is the common "person out of their element" trope done in a more meta way. it's not just that they're bad actors, they don't know how to produce a show either. it captures that local commercial/public access vibe really well - shoddy graphics, stock music, every remotely complex segment goes horribly wrong. I've always loved stuff like that, I could watch weird local news segments go off the rails all day. one of OC's biggest strengths is the diversity of its cast, every character feels like they have a totally different background, and it's not in acting. like Axiom and Manuel are really exactly who they appear to be on the show, I think that's cool

another thing is I love the sense of self-importance they both have. reminds me of the early-00's internet days when people would have shitty webcomics or fanfic that would get like some small amount of traffic and suddenly they'd think they were big celebrities, constantly updating their webpage with whatever boring things they were up to and penning big dramatic responses to whatever criticism they'd get. OC captures that really well

frogbs, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 18:30 (three years ago) link

i loved how Gregg pettily chose "Jack Reacher" as his worst movie of the year simply because Tim chose it as his favorite and decided to shit on James Bond

making splashes at Dan Flashes (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 18:42 (three years ago) link

rewatching the 4th Oscar Special and it just hit me that when Tim is physically threatening Mark he's yelling "Where ya going, Mark!?" the same way Mark did in his 3 Stooges impressions

also I just realized that the name "Axiom" is actually just another Tim mispronunciation

I watched these all before I even knew what On Cinema was so the episode where they're watching the VHS tape of Decker's Oscar winning movie in which Kington is played by Manuel was just the most confusing shit

even now I feel like I'm missing a few things. why was James Dean replaced with the Son of Dracula? why did they spend an entire episode talking about "...wings" ?

frogbs, Wednesday, 18 August 2021 14:37 (three years ago) link

oh god i just lost my shit remembering the vfa archive of the future

STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Wednesday, 18 August 2021 15:03 (three years ago) link

funniest moment for me is Decker abruptly shooting the nation's Top Military General in the head in the courtroom and the judges just react by yelling at him "You better have a good explanation for this!"

second best is the Vice President (this is a Tim & Eric Awesome Show guy, right?) hanging his head and saying "Yeah, its true. I made a deal with the devil and...I guess I'm just gonna have to pay for it"

frogbs, Wednesday, 18 August 2021 15:40 (three years ago) link

ok I looked up what happened to the James Dean actor, apparently he started going into mental decline so they had to stop using him. its not really explained in-universe.

one thing I found out though is that he was legitimately spooked during the Oscar Special where he's introduced and Tim goes off on him, I guess he wasn't expecting him to explode like that and thought the anger might've been real. the "I'll pull my knife out" line was unscripted, Gregg says "stop putting the camera on him" presumably so someone can explain to him what's going on

makes me wonder who in the OC universe maybe wasn't quite aware of what was going on. Dee Thompson (the dude who snuck into the Oscars) was definitely not an act but I think he was one of those guys who will just go anywhere he's invited. Larry Turman (the guest reviewer/professor on an early season) seemed genuinely annoyed with Gregg, I could almost buy that he wasn't quite in on the joke

the one I really wonder about are the Rat Pack impersonators who were there to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Rat Pack movie. the Dean Martin/Joe Mantegna impersonator in particular keeps cracking these lame one-liners which are totally at odds with the humor of the show and it seems to catch Tim off guard ("You're trying to upstage me!"), it's like they were told it was a comedy show but not much else. they also appear to be genuinely surprised when they get booted out!

the Toni Newman character is so great because she's someone who's so recognizable in real life; the "wine mom" who seems fun and affable but once you get to know her you realize she has some truly insane beliefs and drinks as a way to cope with the abuse her husband is putting her through. I know neighbors and people at work who are just like that, they're kind of sympathetic characters but also happen to post a lot of anti-vaxx shit on Facebook. despite that you rarely see a character like that on screen. they really found the perfect actress for it too.

c/ped from another site about the wrap party a couple days ago:

There was just a live Q&A for Hei Network annual subscribers with Tim, Gregg, Eric Notarnicola, Vera Drew, Andrew Porter, Justin Gaynor. It was a rare appearance by Gregg out of any character (though he was calling in from his car). Some of the things they covered:

They mentioned that a lot of the characterization in general comes from the wardrobes first. Gregg does some of the eBay buying for the Gregg character's wardrobe, and there may be a Glenn Beck-inspired look for Tim in the future. Tripp Spencer came from Gregg just deciding to get cornrows because his filming was done, and then needing to do more filming.

The Hei Network gives them a lot more freedom than Adult Swim, but also new stress of being the ones who have to decide what their budget limits are

The first season of Xposed is coming "very soon." Tim talked about how much he enjoyed the Xposed pilot and laughed crying watching it.

The 7 Minutes in Heaven idea is still going to be produced.

They have more ideas for Decker, but still don't own the rights for it. But they're going to eventually make what is essentially more Decker under the new name John Jacob Dennicker.

The HEI Points form was just written as a joke by Tim off the cuff for fun, and doesn't seem like it will have any impact on anything.

One of the plot ideas they had for when (the fictional) On Cinema was owned by Chaplin's was that Chaplin's would be purchased by an oil company, and as a result On Cinema would be filmed at a gas station to air on those mini video screens that play when you fill your car up at the gas pump.

Vera Drew's personal view is that neither the Tim nor Gregg characters actually watch any of the movies they "review."

Gregg mentioned that they did have an idea to definitively end the show at the end of season 10 in a way that there was "no coming back from." Eric Notarnicola did mention that he personally had an idea to make everyone die from Gregg's car in the Oscar special but he didn't run it past anyone.

Most of the show is done in two takes, but there are also a number of single takes. Most of Mr. America was shot in one take.

Gregg sometimes will get popcorn stuck in his throat while filming.

Vera mentioned wanting an On Cinema video game.

All of them talked about looking for more ways to make the whole On Cinema experience even more interactive with the fans than it is.

Tim filmed Popcorn Shuffle, and Tim edits most of Gregg's segments, because he likes editing as a hobby.

seasons 7 & 8 are definitely where it turned from "this is really good" to "this one of my favorite things ever."

im sure i posted about it at the time, but the s11 "on defense" segments where tim was waving around guns and dry-firing them at himself and into the camera were some of the most unforgettably disturbing moments of the whole series for me. bc by that point the shows logic had been established where it was definitely not out of the realm of possibility that tims character would accidentally shoot himself in the head point blank on camera.

one consistent thing about the Oscar Specials is that the Mark Proksch bits are always the funniest parts, so I was bummed that he was barely in the last one. god the 6th Special where he's hooked up to all those life support machines and Gregg is "interviewing" him, asking why so and so wasn't nominated and getting the response "It was a truuuue traaagedy"...a soundbite from one of the earlier Oscar specials

when I rewatched the 5th one I was left wondering if anyone watching live actually thought something happened to Mark? they break the 4th wall just enough in that part, you definitely don't feel like you're watching a comedy anymore

frogbs, Monday, 28 February 2022 16:14 (two years ago) link

as far as I could gather the James Dean guy was the sort of person who appeared on Tim & Eric, they're acting but maybe not 100% aware of what the show is or what kind of humor they're going for. from what I've heard the bit in the Oscar Special where Tim is really yelling at him wound up rattling him and he had to be calmed down after the shoot. I guess the panic in his eyes was real. also seems he was declining mentally pretty quickly which is why he had to be replaced in Decker.

I would love more Rock House, I think it's super cool when this show gets way outside of its own universe. that's what makes the trial so great. also Ax and Manuel are just naturally funny in this context. its so on the nose it almost could've aired as-is on MTV 10 years ago

Xposed is also really funny but the humor is very similar to Decker. Rock House is just something else entirely

Behind the scenes of the bizarro ‘On Cinema Oscar Special’

“My character is in self-imposed isolation from reality,” Turkington says, “and Tim’s is a psycho. He’s just a bad guy, and people are happy when they escape his clutches. Tim also doesn't know anything about movies, but he knows that I’m full of shit. Though he does believe that I have some movie knowledge that is helpful to the show. I just think that, unfortunately — like a lot of relationships — we don’t like each other, but we need each other.”

I don't understand. Single ticket cost $12 but "$10 for monthly subscribers". Oh OK, where's the monthly package? Only thing available is a $55 annual membership package that says the oscar special is free to stream and replay (so explicitly not $10). Is the monthly package just not an option?

this show is the master of characters whose very presence is hilarious. Manuel looking concerned, Joe looking bored, LaRue trying to look serious and tough. the mascots in the background. Gregg in everything he does. the Chaplin's Chili guy (Hank?) being on every special despite never really being given anything to do

The way that Chaplin’s Chili is progressively diminished as a franchise in each special is one of my favorite small recurring gags. Also adds to the “trapped in hell" atmosphere—despite Tim commenting each year on how gross the chili is, they are always back the next year.

listening to Office Hours today it looks like Mark has Covid and Joe got sick (not Covid), which is why neither appeared. must've been some pretty fast n' furious rewriting taking place

that happened last year too, I think Pastor Lewis was supposed to factor into the plot but the actress was unvaxxed and wouldn't take a Covid test or something

yeah Tim was worried he might've gotten it from Mark. apparently Mark is asymptomatic, he didn't say what Joe has but did say "he'll be fine" so that's good

also apparently there was a huge downpour 12 hours after filming. I wonder what their contingency plan was, or if it was just "fuck it, it's SoCal"?

it was tough to tell from the film itself because the overall production values were high and consistent, but apparently there was some trouble behind the scenes during making of Deck of Cards

Well @timheidecker lied, he promised when he took over “Deck of Cards 1”it would be 105 minutes, which was one of the stipulations to give him the footage, plus I wanted to avoid another Tantrum which happened anyway

its weird to see them keep referring to Decker as Dennicker without really acknowledging why they had to change the name. just say the Delgados got it, okay? kind of a bummer because "Decker of Cards" would've worked so well

Tim looks incredibly thin. does he have some kind of upcoming role that requires him to be super skinny? maybe his feeding tube was removed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZBhhx-tb_w

and then later, i think they only offer the first half (first hour of 2 hours) on youtube and you have to be a subscriber to watch the whole thing

honestly, i rarely delve into office hours, or even the best show. they're just too long. even on cinema, which i love...i'm still back on season 8 or 9, trying to catch up. it's a lot

Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:12 (two years ago) link

i've grown to really love office hours. the dynamic between tim, doug, and vic is really enjoyable, they balance out tim's abrasive persona that he slips in and out of. never seen/heard the best show and my only exposure to tom sharpling was his guest appearance on office hours, which i didn't find notable, so not sure what to expect today

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:27 (two years ago) link

tim's abrasive persona that he slips in and out of

yeah, it was kind of jarring to see him on best show because...it just kind of came off as rude, heh. i'm not super familiar with best show but they had two kind of regulars on the line, on the telephone, throughout, and when one of them said something over the phone early on, tim seemed genuinely startled and annoyed that a voice could just come on the line, and he goes "who is this?", the guy said his name (i forgot), and then he said "you'll address me when i ask you to address me", or something like that. and it was kiiiinda funny? but then, he never went back to him again, for like the next 2 hours! instead, he completely ignored the whole best show crew that was on set and on the phone and instead just talked to two comedian friends that he invited, and they just kind of did the show by themselves with the best show people watching in silence.

as i type that out, it kind of seems like a bit, but...not really? i know comedians are just kind of rude, in general, but i didn't really enjoy watching that.

in contrast, when tom guest hosts office hours i full expect him to do interact a bunch with vic berger and dj douggpound

Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:36 (two years ago) link

that does sound very awkward. the way tim interacts with callers on office hours can be painful sometimes, but callers really are boring much of the time and he seems to recognize that being abrasive can lead to some hilarious moments and also serves to keep things moving along quickly

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:54 (two years ago) link

yeah its funny because both both tim and tom obviously have hosting personas where they are jokingly rude & insulting to their cohosts, but each of those personas grew within the very specific & delicate personal dynamics of their individual shows, so what seems like gentle ribbing in one context can be very awkward & uncomfortable in another. i almost wish they would do it again, maybe once a year or something, because i feel like Tim would get a lot better on the Best Show once he got more comfortable with it & had a better sense of things.

waste of compute (One Eye Open), Thursday, 17 November 2022 18:03 (two years ago) link

oh shoot, forgot to actually post this here:

there was also this very awkward moment, the most awkward, in the last hour of the show. the one best show person that tim was acknowledging (because he was in the room) was the producer, jason, and he announced that the final hour would be a "no complaints" session, in which tim would not be allowed to complain. i think this might be a best show tradition, but i'm not sure, and tbh it seemed like tim wasn't sure either. then, jason announced that the special topic of the hour for callers would be to say what they think the best work tim has made, and then the very worst that he has made, and then reiterated that tim was not allowed to complain. tim seemed very uncomfortable with this, and if he was being intentional/comedic about it, i will say it was one of the greatest, most believable and subtle performances i've ever seen. if it was fake, he fooled me. he just seemed very unsure about the whole thing.

for most of the hour, the 'no complaining' and 'say your favorite and least favorite tim production' rules were fine, with the normal people who called in. (at the same time, they were also doing a worst 20 beatles list/brainstorming sesh, so that ate up most of the conversation). but then, near the end of the show they brought back 2 of the Best Show voices, the two guys on the telephone who were very briefly included as part of the show in the first 10 minutes and then completely ignored thereafter until this very point, near the end of the show. and one of the guys just kind of tore into tim's mistreatment of him on the show, how he had been completely ignored, referencing several times about meeting tim before the show and that how nice it was, but clearly mocking it, clearly it wasn't a good encounter, before the show. it went on for a while and then tim really had no real response -- again, if he was faking it he has become a fine actor, full stop -- and producer jason reiterated that it was a no complaint hour. it was very awkward! but also very gripping.

at the end of the show as they were signing off tim was, predictably, asking for reviews of his performance (one of the best show guys gave him 4 stars, lol), and jason mentioned what had happened earlier and explained that the guy on the phone was just doing a bit and he does it to everyone, that tom would have broken, etc. but tim didn't seem to believe that at all and frankly neither do i!

lol! i am actually going to xpost this to the best show thread because they will know a lot more about all of it, i'm sure.

Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 November 2022 18:17 (two years ago) link

i contemplated calling in but i'm glad i did not. there were only two things i could think of to talk about. one was an idea tim had earlier in the show, a prompt which starts "The Earth's population crossed 8 billion people today. But still, ..." and then he wanted people to suggest possible joke endings for that. that idea bombed, no one mentioned it and it was just dropped. but i thought i could call in and suggest "but still, we're gonna keep counting the number of people", which seemed really funny to me for a minute but i think would be brutally torn down by tim and probably hurt my feelings. the second thing was that i was going to give him an honest answer on the worst production he's done, which is the million dollar movie. i have some thoughts on that movie and saw it in the theater with someone whose personality and sense of humor is the exact opposite of tim heidecker. later, i realized that my thoughts would have been very boring and would have taken too long to explain. i also realized it was called billion dollar movie, not million dollar movie, and that they would have called me out on that and i would have improvised a joke about how it barely looked like a million dollar movie tbh, and that would have bombed. finally, while reading about billion dollar movie i learned his wife was produced that one

Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 November 2022 18:22 (two years ago) link

I love Office Hours, though I don't watch it regularly I have a real hard time shutting it off when I do

Tim definitely gets defensive in interviews sometimes and there are lots of times when I wonder if he's being a jerk or doing a bit. In fact that's kind of his whole comedic persona. fwiw I think it's not the worst quality in a podcast host since he's generally good at figuring out which bits and which callers are actually gonna result in something good, rather than just humoring everyone.

fwiw I've heard a lot of nice things about him privately. there are stories about him after shows hanging out, signing stuff and taking pictures with everyone, which is something I wouldn't really expect I guess

frogbs, Thursday, 17 November 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link

xpost oh god, i would never call in. i'm fully aware i can't handle the humiliation of being a bad caller. and it's kind of random what turns into a decent conversation and what gets ridiculed anyway

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 17 November 2022 19:06 (two years ago) link

I called in one time, went well. I asked about a mention of a very early Tim & Eric performance (opening for The Shins live at Maxwell's) in the Yo La Tengo book. Then I said hi to Doug because I'd been exchanging music with him via email.

Evan, Thursday, 17 November 2022 20:01 (two years ago) link

Tim can be brutal to callers but as a caller you have to have good awareness as to whether you are bringing any dull and/or try-hard energy. If neither you'll be fine.

Evan, Thursday, 17 November 2022 20:03 (two years ago) link

Also I don't think Tim was uncomfortable at all at Best Show, and I don't think the guy (Pat?) giving Tim shit went over Tim's head. Tim has done so so so many "tense uncomfortable confrontation" bits in his career. Very experienced in playing that situation from either angle.

I overhead my partner debating with her sister about a Furby she had as a kid. She insisted she had the new millennium edition, but the photo on Wikipedia didn't match her memory of its fur being silver tinsel. Turns out, it was actually a "champagne" edition. She argued that was close enough, since people popped champagne on Y2k New Year's Eve. It struck me as a very Gregg bit of reasoning.

I didn’t watch the ceremony, but after encountering various reactions, maybe the “in memoriam” segment … shouldn’t be a montage or a song - instead just, like, Brad Pitt or whoever saying “let’s have a moment of silence for those we lost” then after that moment being like “to see who we lost check out oscars dot com” or whatever

is there a term for how this show is scripted but also kind of "real"? most of the characters use their real names (and both main guys tweet in character), a lot of the stuff is based on real events (Gregg really was in Ant-Man and on AMC, Decker is an actual show, the "Queen of Hearts" lady was picked because she was in Arthur, the tune Tim nicked "Empty Bottle" from was an actual song by those guys, etc.), and most of the reactions seem genuine. like in this one when they're showing the people watching the dashcam footage on their phones it actually does seem real. they're having conversations but you can't hear what they're saying, it all feels improvised and very candid. I'm not sure I can think of another show quite like that.

ok the detail that is killing me this season is how every one of the "Joey's Take" bits use the same camera angles in nearly the same order

very funny that of all the insane and deeply hurtful shit Tim says to Gregg the only thing that's stuck with him is him saying he hasn't seen Sully. like his entire credibility is on the line.

and yeah amazing episode made me laugh out loud probably a dozen times. maybe most at Tim's phone playing the On Cinema theme song in the middle Gregg's segment

ever since the G. Amato character was introduced I've been waiting for something like this to happen

frogbs, Thursday, 15 February 2024 19:29 (ten months ago) link

This season has been so good

They really excel at introducing new characters with vaguely unplaceable deals, & the soap opera of it all means they burn through comedic premises at an irresponsible rate, and still the core cast is maybe funnier than they’ve ever been: mark, larue, dekkar, joe (who deserves an Emmy or an Oscar whichever is greater). That bit last ep when gregg rinse-chewed the popcorn for ages before launching right into his review fucking murdered me, that’s the kind of T-1000 implacability you only get by being Neil hamburger

Amatocom.com

...."com dot com"

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 15 February 2024 20:11 (ten months ago) link

what I love about the cast is that they all seem to come from different backgrounds and skill levels. none of them are really comedic actors. some of them are just basically themselves...the Dekkar guys really are Italian musicians, Joe is just Joe, a lot of the bit characters for the Oscar specials come across like they don't know what's going on - I still don't think the Rat Pack guys really 'got' what OC was about, and I'm pretty sure some insider mentioned that the Tim/"James Dean" confrontation at the end of one was so intense because the James Dean actor thought the real Tim was actually yelling at him

the reason why this works so well is because On Cinema is, at its core, sort of a reality show. I mean we know it's scripted, but the movies are obviously real movies, most actors use their real names and are clearly playing versions of themselves, and the saga plays out across the episodes and various social media things, so it seems way more 'real' than say an episode of The Office. like the ending of this one really did make my jaw drop, which wouldn't happen in a regular comedy where everything is based around punchlines, nor would it in a drama series where you expect dramatic things to happen. but in the OC world it feels just real enough to give you some sort of emotional reaction.

yeah I don't know if shots were supposed to be fired since it looks like Matt shot first. as bad as Tim is I can't imagine he would actually order a hit on someone.

my theory is Matt actually watches the show and probably suspected a goon was going to show up to intimidate them. I mean he starts firing pretty quick.

lol what the hell

Posted on March 8, 2024 by Host T. Amato
I couldn’t be more excited to begin this three day journey into the unknown and into our future as a company, and as a leader in entrepreneurial and visionary leadership experiences.

It’s been a tremendous amount of work, and I’m definitely learning as I go along. And while I have high hopes that this weekend will be a major success, I can only imagine how much better Amanda Con 2025 will be knowing what we know now.

It’s been tremendously stressful and time-consuming for me. Juggling not only preparation for this, but dealing with the sad and unfortunate funeral of my stepson, Matt Newman, and caring, tending for and using tenderness and love to comfort my ex-wife Tony Newman. She needs me now more than ever.

It also came as a shock to me when my dad surprisingly announced he would not tolerate any facial hair at Amato con from its presenters. It was too late and nearly impossible to create conditions for the audience to be hairless when it comes to their facial features, but I was forced to comply and have chosen due to his insistence that I become totally clean shaven for the weekend.

Tony Newman was furious at this decision as she had grown attracted to my goatee, and I have received many, many compliments.

In fact, just the other day, a barista at a local coffee shop complemented on how handsome my goatee, (the hair that which surrounds my mouth and down onto my chin) appeared to her. She gave me a free cup of coffee, and also complemented in general on the salt pepper look of my hair and facial hair as being very attractive.

It is unknown why dad was so furious and to quote him “nauseous” over my facial hair. He was like I’ve never seen him before: extremely upset.

Dad is a kind and merciful man, but he was screaming over this, and it felt like the only way to, stop him from reacting so dramatically was to just suck it up and shave the goatee. After all it is hair and will grow back.

(if you watch Office Hours you'd know that Tim is clean shaven right now, I was wondering how they were gonna handle that)

OSCAR FEVER (EVE)

Allen (etaeoe), Sunday, 10 March 2024 01:20 (nine months ago) link

wondering about that car that showed up in the last episode, thought it was just some random person but watching it again it seems kind of clear that both T. and G. knew who it was. also just kind of remembered that Tim got kidnapped two specials ago when the G. Amato character was just being introduced and it was never really explained.

from a prominent family of bassoon players (Boring, Maryland), Monday, 11 March 2024 03:00 (nine months ago) link

so uh Tim's going into witness protection now right

frogbs, Monday, 11 March 2024 03:22 (nine months ago) link

xps when they were arguing Tim said to G something about having been busy dealing with Matt’s murder & said “I asked you for help, I didn’t ask you to do that”

I think it’s pretty much what we’ve all assumed over the course of this season tbh, senile mobster g Amato sent Joey to intimidate Toni so she wouldn’t testify against Tim, he killed Matt instead

I just don’t know what all this means for baboon

cozen itt (wins), Monday, 11 March 2024 03:22 (nine months ago) link

my guess with all this is the Amatos need to launder a ton of money which is why they found all of Tim's 'properties' attractive, including HEI Points. G. Amato is the boss but Joey is probably the one really in charge. he probably had Amato's son killed and is obviously invovled with Kaili. but I guess they see Tim as an asset and someone who they really don't want investigated since he's now tied up with their criminal enterprise. the original plan with Toni was probably just to intimidate her but Call of Duty expert Matt Newman perhaps knew something may be up (since he was apparently talking on Discord about it?) and things went south. guessing Matt's father knows about his shadiness too which is why there was a scene at the funeral. so Tim didn't really 'approve' the plan but he knew what was happening. they could've gotten away with it too if not for both Tim and Joey being such hotheads

frogbs, Monday, 11 March 2024 04:07 (nine months ago) link

Well joey does bottle things up

Another way to see it though is that Gregg is just so annoying that it might end up bringing down the Amato crime family

great season/Oscar special but I'm a little disappointed that we probably aren't getting the Baboon/Pep Shop Boys movie now. Deck of Cards was so funny I actually felt exhausted by the end of it.

frogbs, Monday, 11 March 2024 13:53 (nine months ago) link

as funny as it was I gotta admit seeing Gregg-as-Dumbledore get flung to the ground like that was pretty disturbing, he didn't deserve that

frogbs, Monday, 11 March 2024 15:30 (nine months ago) link

also is G. Amato the first person to actually point out the shoddiness of the production like that? I know Tim and Gregg needle each other over their stuff a lot but overall it seems everyone in-universe is happy to play along and pretend On Cinema is some legit enterprise, Amato going "well it was clear this was not very good" was the first time I think a character ever started the obvious like that

frogbs, Monday, 11 March 2024 15:39 (nine months ago) link

the first thing he says when he and Tim start arguing backstage is "I told you not to talk to her"

in the Discord it was a LOT

in the Office Hours Patreon Tim gives credit to the "crowd" who did a remarkable job of staying stonefaced the whole time, which apparently caused IRL Tim to wonder if any of the bits were landing. though I did see one audience member really struggle to keep it together when "Big Bird" came out

frogbs, Monday, 11 March 2024 20:46 (nine months ago) link

I’m not really into liveposting & would only come here in the breaks but I had to post at that moment

The extras were great, big laugh early on was the cut to the woman absolutely cramming a funnel cake

cozen itt (wins), Monday, 11 March 2024 20:54 (nine months ago) link

hah same I had to post mostly to find a way to look away from the screen while that was happening

had the Discord feed on the side for a while because they capture great screencaps but it became too distracting

favorite extra was prob the woman working the booth who looked absolutely miserable. was the implication that everyone had been there for 3 days?

wonder how long Joey sticks around in this series. it doesn't really make sense to have him but OC does find a way to make its best characters stick around so I'm sure we'll see him. would be really funny if Tim holds a major grudge against him for beating him up during his own special and found ways to get his ass kicked worse and worse

Rewatching currently, hit season 9 and the back-end of that season is a massive peak in this show. Particularly the run of ep 7. Gregg and Mark shit all over Tim killing 20 kids, ep 8. Joe comes in to tell his potato story while calling Tim who informs he’ll be out for the next episode and looks forward to watching last weeks episode and ep 9. “On the advice of my council, we are here to talk about the movies”

H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:07 (eight months ago) link

that slow zoom in on their faces during that part where Mark & Gregg find out Tim is going to be back is hilarious but also one of those moments that weirdly bothers me, like it's the kind of humor that SNL does, which is kind of the polar opposite of how On Cinema is

“I hope everyone gets better, the folks that are still in the hospital….. I’m praying for you….. see you next week!”

H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:13 (eight months ago) link

Yeah, it’s a break in style, but I think it makes sense in-universe! The ‘production’ crew are Tim’s lackeys and have no respect for Gregg (There’s an earlier episode where Gregg says to cut the lights and they don’t, waiting for Tim’s direction).

H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:14 (eight months ago) link

My stupid fan-theory: the “production” is some lovecraftian, beastly apparatus of Tim. The show will never stop, because Tim is the show. His cosmic weight instantly pulls in all passer-by’s to have their life’s destroyed through the mundanity of two, soulless men reading movie synopses and muttering “5 bags, and 2 bags of soda”. The production is the beast

reminds me of probably my favorite joke of this season which is Toni having that really macho intro music blaring when she's first introduced, it's a wordless joke but it's really deeply funny once you understand like 4 things about the show

frogbs, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:19 (eight months ago) link

Gregg finds so much joy in Tim murdering 20 kids that when he finally gets an episode to himself to host, he can’t even talk about the movies. Now that’s a 5 bagger move

H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:23 (eight months ago) link

see thats something I really love about it, the constant bickering and sniping between them would feel kinda forced if not for the fact that they really do each have dozens of reasons to hate each other. its a very palpable hatred that a lot of comedies use but don't really earn the way this show does

frogbs, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:28 (eight months ago) link

Otm. The hate is palpable, it’s the fuel to every episode.

Watching the Trial for the second time and it’s an amazing piece of satire on how Trump won the presidency. Maybe obvious to others, my Australian eyes didn’t see it the first time tho

H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 09:20 (eight months ago) link

Tim is genuinely great in how he is able to catch the vibe of a certain type of American guy without going in for obvious parody of specific people. Tim also seems to have a good sense of detecting right-wing trends early, like his character's turn to alternative medicine long before COVID (because of "Obamacare")*

*Like during the Obama administration I noticed the right-wingers in my Washington exurb start to get interested in what had previously been left-coded things like backyard chickens and acupuncture because Obamacare poisoned all our food and medicine.

It really shows up how lame pretty much all other liberal comics’ satire of the trump era is, everything else feels cheap & reactive where this managed to anticipate the bizarrest stuff years in advance and really get into how these guys think

subpost master (wins), Monday, 15 April 2024 16:12 (eight months ago) link

xps tim & Gregg have a Walt-Jesse level toxic relationship at this point, so much ill feeling but they can’t extricate themselves from each other — & there are moments where they reveal they do sort of care for each other a bit, but always in an ultimately abusive way

It’s very funny how they both seem not fully conscious of how much the hatred is driving how they think, like Tim basing his whole self-help cult around the idea that watching lots of films is dangerous or Gregg spinning his resentment of dekkar into a dislike of all music

I've probably pointed it out before but Tim trying to explain why he's trying to pay for Ayaka's abortion despite being staunchly pro-life is maybe the best encapsulation of Republican 'logic' I've ever seen

Return of the Roller Blade Seven
starring joe estevez, frank stallone, and more.
1.9/10 bags of imdb popcorn.

211 people voted. 33 people gave it 10 bags of popcorn, including the review below. unfortunately 102 people gave it 1 bag of popcorn.

This is a Great Film!
uscfilmgrad200021 February 2004
I am always amused when anonymous reviewers attempt to criticizes actors and filmmakers here at IMDb.com. Most of the time I simply read the reviews and chuckle. But, in regard to this film, I feel like I really need to put in my two cents, because it seems that most of the reviewers are either missing the point of this film or simply want to attack the filmmakers, (for whatever reason).

First of all, I am grad film student at U.S.C. In one of my classes we went through the three films associated with the project, THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, and LEGEND OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, frame by frame. So, I believe I know these films as well as anyone, expect maybe the filmmaker. And, 'Yes,' I have gone to both Scott Shaw's and Donald G. Jackson's websites and have read what they have had to say about these films. What I have to say is that they accomplished exactly what they set out to do; to make a completely nontraditional, art based, film.

Now, I am not saying this is the greatest film every. What I am saying, however, is that the filmmakers used every element at their disposable to, as they put it, 'Push the envelope,' of film-making.

If you look at what Donald G. Jackson and Scott Shaw accomplished in this film, with out any of the computer technology which became available after this film was made, they did one hell of a great job. The camera work is great, the editing is great, the story line, (or lack of one), is also great. What I think they really accomplished is to be the first to bring an MTV style of edit to a full length feature film. Or, three in this case.

Not only are these films visually inspirational, but they brought together a great cast. I mean look at the acting careers of Karen Black, Don Stroud, and William Smith. If actors of that caliber embraced this film, how is a person who has no background in either acting or film-making qualified to criticize it. I mean you may not like Indy Art Films, but a Scott Shaw says on his website, 'You may not like the art of Picasso but you can not say it is not art!'

There are a lot of reviewers who claim they could make a better film. As I always say to people who make this claim, 'Let's see it.'

I briefly met both Scott Shaw and Donald G. Jackson when they gave a lecture at the DGA, Director's Guild of America, a couple of years ago. They were both very nice men and have held true to their ideal of pushing the boundaries of traditional film-making. I believe they are both an inspiration and the nonsensical criticism of this film should cease. People should open their eyes and see this movie for what it is, an inspiration to Indy Filmmaker that you can make a nontraditional film and push the boundaries of the accepted and the expected.
