does anyone want to hear a reprise of "Oscar Fever"
― frogbs, Monday, July 15, 2019 6:24 AM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink
the full marching band "oscar fever" that starts off the third oscars special had me simultaneously howling and thinking this is the best show i've ever seen
― 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
― frogbs, Monday, 15 July 2019 15:47 (five years ago) link
the crossfades in the oscar specials are like their own comedic language, kudos to the producers of this show for discovering the worst possible stock images of peter jackson and billy crystal
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 15 July 2019 15:48 (five years ago) link
The crossfades feel like the equivalent of Mulaney writing those last-minute Stefan jokes that would make Hader break when he saw them for the first time. Like whoever's selecting those images seems to have a very keen idea of what's gonna make Tim and Gregg have to stifle a giggle.

gregg's tour of middle earth in the third oscars special, holy shit
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 01:19 (five years ago) link
Middle Earth, the setting and the place where they filmed not only the Lord of the Rings trilogy but the Hobbit trilogy as well, and as you can tell it's quite a beautiful place to be!

Does the Tim & Eric thread discus who Dr. San is IRL?

Gregg & Zac were former roommates & Gregg put out Zac's former band (dieselhed)'s records 25+ years ago.

gregg's performance as klington is excellent
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 21:04 (five years ago) link
even more impressive given he didn't even know he was filming for the show

i'm at port of call: hawaii. what a coincidence that kington is a big film buff too

just got to the end of season 10 last night, Tim having to silently eat shit for the last couple episodes is awesome

the decker cinematography was suddenly amazing in episode 13 and i tried to see if anyone mentioned it in the youtube comments and found this
Sarah Odle4 years agoThe cinematography really wowed me in this one! True filmmakers. Peter Jackson would be proud!

Is season 10 the one that’s filmed in VR? That was such a funny idea
― One Eye Open, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 00:15 (five years ago) link
I only just now realized that the last episode of Port of Call Hawaii is Tim's retaliation for Gregg giving away the original ending on On Cinema

"why call somebody that loved driving cars, after he's dead—who cares anymore—why not change his name from 'walker,' which doesn't represent what he does—what he does is drive fast—so you change his name to 'paul driver' or 'paul turbo'"

the Decker "Our Values Are Under Attack" just comes into my head at least once a week
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 02:58 (five years ago) link
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."

Christ, I watched three episodes tonight and then my mom called and I found myself copying Tim’s cadences and stumbles.

Just bore witness last night to Tim's two near-death experiences over the course of season 8. Just when you think things can't go further off the rails.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
Y'all should be thankful that Tim's cadence is all you picked up from the show. I'm beginning to fear that this nutritional vaping thing isn't as cool as he made it look.

feel the same way about ayaka but i've only just finished season five. it is v weird and compelling to see these nice people in the middle of the most toxic dynamic i've ever seen
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 17:48 (five years ago) link
although tim and gregg definitely deserve each other
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 17:50 (five years ago) link
I loved loved loved the episode in season 8 when Tim started expressing his sincere appreciation for Gregg and Gregg got suuuuuuper uncomfortable and also could only discuss Tim's suicidal ideation by comparing it to It's a Wonderful Life. It's easy to forget at times that both characters are damaged goods.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:08 (five years ago) link
sorry i meant i had just finished season six. i watched tim's ant-man review during lunch and holy shit
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:12 (five years ago) link
Yeah. That's still probably a top five highlight.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:12 (five years ago) link
this is the movies, the laws of physics demand at least one bag of popcorn
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:14 (five years ago) link
the buildup from peyton reed appearing on the oscars special to that review is really great, comparable to gregg filming multiple "on cinema on location" segments in a row at locations used in oh, god!
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:15 (five years ago) link
And then when Gregg's error over the title of the popcorn classic "Breakdown" is pointed out, he doubles down and insists that there were two working titles so either way is perfectly valid.
xps
― Evan, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:18 (five years ago) link
I'm coming around to the notion that Gregg sticks with Tim through all of the bullshit purely because only in Tim's company does Gregg come off as relatively normal and functional.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 18:22 (five years ago) link
I think its supposed to be because his character is a pathetic dude and it's the only venue that a guy who collects comically mundane VHS tapes can have a platform as a "movie expert"
