On Cinema at the Cinema on ilxor.com

you can make youtube full screen on a computer, and depending on yr tv, make yr phone play it on a tv

I refuse to watch anything on the internet, my home is VHS-only.

Idk why i feel compelled to explain myself but none of those things are happening for various reasons

lmao at gregg being driven out of the courtroom bc he could not stop talking about how star trek ii is set in san francisco. don't stop believin' gregg

tim paid off the juror didn't he

i think that's heavily implied

well. that was great

you know how the military teaches you who to hate

"methylhexanamine... quite a tongue-twister there"
"objection"
"the tongue-twister?"
"is it officially a tongue-twister"

Best objection

i have the constitutional right to strike him if he disobeys me!

Tongue-twister objection slays me.

I think I've realized my favorite bit part in this entire endeavor is 'James Dean' as Dracula. I need a supercut of his every non-verbal utterance (Aahhh! Ehhh!). And 'James Dean' generally, who comes across as a geriatric juvenile delinquent.

Uh, has this been mentioned itt?: https://www.dragcity.com/products/brandan-kearney-s-on-cinema-at-the-cinema-reader-vol-1-2010-2018

i got the book a few weeks ago. it's good but not absolutely necessary. it does a nice job of laying out the timeline for everything, especially the tweets between tim, gregg and mark.

If you like that book, check out this one:

It's arguably a precursor to On Cinema but as record reviews.

Time to turn on the tubo-boasters!

OMG, comatose Decker reacting in o-faced surprise to his foot moving just made me laugh for like a full minute. Mindwipe is gloriously stupid.

must-watch for the #markheads:

Season finale of Agents of SHIELD featured a character sort of returning and ended on the line, 'hey, guys.' Which naturally made me laugh but after reading in Tim's Believer interview that some folks at Marvel are apparently big into On Cinema, I wonder if it wasn't an intentional nod.

"watching the oscars without the on cinema oscars special is like watching the oscars with a blindfold on and earplugs in, like helen keller"

man, I will never hear Bohemian Rhapsody the same way again

I wonder if it wasn't an intentional nod.

a little tip of the cap, you might say

S4 of Decker, I love how Tim only uses two expressions: O-face of Surprise/Pursed Lipped Squint of Confidence

It's a meta detail but I really how the very act of portraying Decker seems to erode Tim's cognition (see: Decker barely able to string three coherent words together while conversing with a smooth-talking Louisianan politician also portrayed by Tim).

listen, when you're the creator, writer, director, and lead actor of your own acclaimed action movie-split-up-into-tv-episodes, you don't *need* to memorize your lines

he gets a new brain injury like every season maybe that has something to do with it

"I have it on good authority that Peter Jackson is preparing not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but over a hundred movies adapting The Silmarillion."

(pp)

Tim's insights regarding Pompeii:

"This is about volcanoes, about Pompeii, and it is a Pompeii movie."

Vancouver live show announced: Oct 6, part of VIFF.

"He said I would have been dead if I had not come in. Now let that sink in."

(sound of fan running)

"...What are the movies this week?"

i'd forgotten that tim's contemplating suicide on the 6th street bridge also made an appearance in in season 8 ep 4

I’m watching the Joe Estevez montage on the 3rd Oscar special and what the fuck is happening

like seriously how is this a real movie

(all the comments are about On Cinema of course)

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.

lmao when he lowkey asks Gregg if he's got the Ant-man director's number

I think it all came at me in such a flood that I'm only in retrospect fully appreciating all of the elements of Mindwipe that reflect a four-year-old's understanding of how the world works, e.g. talking underwater, transplanting organs by simply inserting them into someone's body cavity, etc.

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).

they're coming to my town in october!

haha i missed that bit while having read the first bit of that post

Would you want to see a Nardwuar on Gregg? I'd die if it happened...

One my favorite all time characters in motion pictures isn't a person, or an animal, or a gnome, or even a hobbit; it's a sword — a sword called Excalibur. And if you're an Excalibur head, this movie has got quite a number of scenes with the legendary sword, and that's what makes it such a thrilling movie.
