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

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

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.

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

nah, Joey's supposed to be Italian and he ain't 27, plus whoever it was got shot and nearly bled to death, whereas Joey was healthy enough to beat both Tim AND Gregg's asses during the Oscar Special
still kinda suspicious that Joey happened to be in Mexico while it went on, not to mention Tim pointing the finger directly at Amato. maybe he just inferred what everyone watching did but I'd assume he knows *something*
gotta say the show is almost starting to remind of something like Breaking Bad, it's leaving all these little crumbs around pointing at a larger story but there's still so much left to be revealed. I wonder if G. Amato's interest in HEI points and Matt's own crypto scam are gonna be linked in any way

This is a Great Film!uscfilmgrad200021 February 2004I 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.10 out of 31 found this helpful
