On Cinema at the Cinema on ilxor.com

btw I'm driving to Long Beach to see Neil Hamburger for free at some festival thing in Long Beach so if anyone wants to say hi just say hi

tomorrow.

Its a testament to not only the acting but the directing/editing of this show that you could only cull <4 mins of similar footage from the dozens of hours of Oscar specials:

I choose to believe that the on cinema universe is the real Tim and Greg, and everything else is acting

That would make for an impressively-involved means of covering up one's culpability in the premature demise of 20 19 youths.

I choose to believe that

this is an odd 12 year old relic (pre-"Awesome Show") obvs. outside of the OnCinema universe but featuring T&G in a wildly different dynamic:

DID YOU KNOW...

due to Martin Sheen being unavailable during his recovery for his heart attack and later due to a falling out with Francis Ford-Coppola, the director flew Joe Estevez (uncredited) up to San Francisco to record all the narration in Apocalypse Now.

holy shit @ CGI Tom Cruise Heidecker telling people to not vaccinate their kids

possibly the best moment in the entire series

i bought a jackson hole wyoming shirt from a vintage store the other day to honour tim

let me put it this way: i was getting guys that were involved with kkk

lmao this movie's gonna be awesome

looks like it could've used more input from a movie expert

i'm like an empty bottle!!!!

lol at the trailer, this is going to be great

Hey Gregg? Stay out of my movie!!!

can't think of a movie I've more anticipated in years

fill me up (with this movie) again (for the first time actually)

the inclusion of DKR is killing me

wonder if this movie is gonna make sense to anyone who doesn't know the On Cinema stuff, I'm guessing not really

On a related note, I'm going to see Gregg do a one off show tonight with Zip Code Redemption (glad to see their edge lordy name left in the past). Although I've seen him
live as Neil a bunch before, I've never even listened to his music before so it should be interesting.

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. I assume cameos by Gregg and other On Cinema people will be used to provide movie review origins / Decker context too.

yeah the festival and trial are really all the backstory required

wonder if this movie is gonna make sense to anyone who doesn't know the On Cinema stuff, I'm guessing not really

trailer seems to set it up fine, an unfit narcissist is running for office in between rage fits

feels like America can probably follow that concept

looks like the movie contains even more popcorn eating and vaping of dangerous chemicals for us on cinema-heads

looks like a five bagger.

yeah if this is gonna be screened in theaters I guess it won't rely too much on backstory but it's gonna be hard to explain why Gregg wearing a "Time Machine" hat is so funny

a 1997 Ford Explorer is an excellent casting choice for Tim's car

not sure if this was intentional or not but Tim trying to record getting "assaulted" by Rosetti feels like it might be a direct reference to Baked Alaska

On a related note, I'm going to see Gregg do a one off show tonight with Zip Code Redemption (glad to see their edge lordy name left in the past). Although I've seen him
live as Neil a bunch before, I've never even listened to his music before so it should be interesting.

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.

oh wow I have never read that all spelled out so succinctly, having only encountered the ZCR and Caroliner stuff tangentially

all of this makes it much funnier to me that gregg's on cinema character has no interest in or use for music whatsoever except as a score to a great movie

looks like a five bagger.

Possibly even a Popcorn Classic!

Now that I think of it, these drama/fights/feuds are a common recurrence in Gregg's oeuvre. This is super obscure but even Faxed Head had a nemesis band called Bon Larvis... that was absolutely terrible, I think they were a Pablo Cruise cover band... maybe Milton remembers them?

Oh hell yeah there’s a screening in Milwaukee

extended gregg musical universe is a joy to dip into, my favourite subproject is probably The Golding Institute

albeit that isn't really music (although it is on Spotify)

I thought that there were at least a couple threads devoted to things like the Golding Institute but this one seems like it is missing a bunch of things:

I guess I should have figured this one as well:

neil hamburger c/d

“baby driver—fun cartoon about babies driving cars, we loved that movie. uh, happy death day, based on happy days. the florida project, guardians of the galaxy 2—better than the first one. battle of the sexes—porno”

“thor: rag... ragnar...ragnarok... the thor movie”

“yeah ragnerak. ragnerak”

“it’s like rags to riches but it’s rags na rok”

I love Tim sticking the campaign sign 10 feet away from the "For Sale" sign

i kinda took a break after the trial but i started the 5th oscars special tonight and holy shit not only at the dkr "oscar fever" but also at the jaws 2 40th anniversary video

“Lordy Lordy, Look Who’s 40”

"mr. lucas went in almost like a cat burglar would"

i think billy graham is in hell

Still absolutely blown away that this show uncovered this absolute gem of trivia re Joe performing the Willard V.O.:

erm

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
