On Cinema at the Cinema on ilxor.com

Was the car audibly running during the AS stream? I can't really tell from the capture^^

there are faint motor sounds being picked up by mics throughout

my fav thing about that capture is that it keeps the trivia questions intact!!!

I, uhh, was not previously aware of that charming bit of Cuba Gooding Jr trivia

One thing that impressed me were the "Gosford Park"-style multiple conversations going on at once, which I'd imagine is pretty hard to pull off live and they did it more than a few times successfully.

The trivia cards feel very...Neil Hamburger.

out of desperation i started watching that unofficial stream and immediately saw gregg in full jack nicholson joker makeup and i think i have to wait to experience this whole

'Kay, guess I know how I'm wasting my Saturday!

this one was really the biggest shitshow yet

gregg's wedding speech...

*everyone dying of carbon monoxide poisoning*

*"mt btl 2.0" plays*

i also love the way every oscar special somehow extends the chaplin's chili saga

gregg literally taking up all the oxygen in the room

incredible show, but yeh the 2.0 version playing next after the incident is all time

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.

*Paul Car

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

Axiom & Manuel have true brotherhood - Axiom only comes to the studio due to Manuel’s entreaties, having spurned Tim, and saves Manuel first. (It’s up in the air whether Manuel believes most of what he’s saying or if he’s keeping good with Tim for next time he has money)

Oh, another detail I loved: Tim taking the name of Toni's ex-husband, rather than her maiden name.

lol yes

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

IRL Tim claimed he really did meet those two guys at a Guitar Center, I wonder if that's true or not

mister turkgtin MUST be healed accountable for his crimes!

mister turkgtin hahaha

rip tom chaplin
may your final meal be your finest

Still haven't seen more than the first twenty minutes thanks to a variety of other distractions but I do want to point out that Tim appeared very close to breaking when Gregg was slowly pulling his car in and honking incessantly.

we all broke in that moment

he certainly cracked up more this year, especially the first hour or so

I wouldn't be surprised if he did meet them at Guitar Center: IIRC, Axiom and Manuel are in a real band together (Last Second Chance), and that is their IRL look/style.

Matt Newman cracked me up

Tim murdering Gregg is pretty much the only way this series can end right now

tim changing his twitter name to "tim newman" makes all of his tweets funnier

Finally finished this last night. Worth the wait.

If I find the time/wherewithal, I kinda want to transcribe Tim's conversation with his new son Matt.
