i bought myself a hei network subscription for christmas and i'm watching the whole thing all over again

i give it four bags of popcorn and... just a cup of water

i love gregg's brief bit in the first season where he's just explaining what ebay is and how it works any time he does a popcorn classic

always wondered if they planned to say anything more about Tim’s first wife and his kids but they kinda retconned all that out. Though I thought a recent episode mentioned it

i think tim mentioned his first wife in the wedding oscar special

well i don’t have a tumor, and i loved the movie

she might be stealing people’s identities, but what she’s really stealing is our heart

the part where tim reads out every joe estevez movie

The Joe Estevez montage during one of the Oscar specials is one of my favorite OC moments. Massive props to whoever actually watched all that footage

He’s such a perfect addition to this show - gives Tim’s endeavors some legitimacy since he has an actual actor with an IMDB page, while also being like a personal hero for Gregg as a guy who’s been in 200-some “popcorn classics” and has tenuous connections to everyone

imagine if you will you're sir... ian mckellen, walking up these stairs to accept the best picture award for the hobbit. you'll see it later tonight

the first oscar special is so pure, everyone trying so hard not to lose their shit to every billy crystal image

the way to apologize is get on ebay dot com and start bidding

"i was going through a period- i am going through a period where i needed to laugh, and laughter is the best medicine"

"or surgery too would be a good medicine"

i wish that this movie just went on and on and on, i loved it so much. i thought to myself, a ha! they're still making these kind of movies. and we get to see it, we get to live in a time when classic movies are being made. imagine what it would be like for our grandparents to grow up when gone with the wind and movies of that stature were being made. well now here we are, alive and well, listening- getting to see jack and the giant slayer

i’m gonna say… zero bags of popcorn, because i’m gonna say let’s take toto’s old basket and fill that with popcorn and eat out of the basket, which is essentially five bags of popcorn, i loved this movie

all right, well if the academy's watching, let them know that we believe that jonathan winters deserves a posthumous academy award for his role in smurfs 2

i give it zero bags of popcorn. i would say if you've ever seen the old disney movie the black hole, that's what this movie is in terms of bags of popcorn, it's a black hole that's sucked all of the popcorn out of the world into the center of the earth, into a great void

mark is the mvp of the oscar specials for sure, everything he does is hilarious

O S C E R

Just finished the 5th Oscar special and Mark’s emergency was one of the funniest thing they have ever done.

His role as a waiter in season 9 (or was it 8) kills me as well. “PUT IT ON THE TABLE”.

yeah I've rewatched that bit a few times, it's amazing. I feel like had I saw that live I might've actually been fooled for a few seconds that something happened to Mark

according to the testimony i saw on the trial of tim heidecker, i believe something did happen to Mark

Echoing everyone, Mark is their secret weapon.

i watched his first appearance on the 2nd oscar special last night and the debut of mark's chaplin impersonation + tim belligerently telling him to talk had me rolling on the fucking floor

mark's chaplin was absolutely perfect, straight out of the box

impersonating the Three Stooges one at a time is such a next-level bit. I love how every Oscar Special has at least one section where Tim can't hold it together and it always seems to involve Mark

also the fact that he's constantly slipping in and out of the WC Fields voice

i'm on season five, right in the middle of the jacksonhole storyline (hog shots!!!), and the funniest thing in the world is tim, legally blinded after getting into an accident on his (stationary) motorcycle, having the movie descriptions piped into an earpiece because he'd rather that than gregg read them, and of course this makes them far longer and more riddled with errors

or in s5e7 when two minutes in tim says "thanks for watching" and the lights dim before they review any movies

nyuck nyuck nyuck

i died in 1975 (*boioioioioing!*

The way he commits like…75% to those impressions

Hey Moe whatcha doin?? I’m gonna uh….don’t come over here…**stares off camera***…okay…okay…woopwoopwoopwoopwoop

will submit a definitive ranking of the oscar specials after this rewatch

just like george bush had dan quayle, richard nixon had spiro agnew, and dwight eisenhower had richard nixon, the great actors of our time need a supporting actor

i caught the costco fever, hope you got it too. fuck you mike hucklebee, you ruined my night

Are these your first watches Brad? I envy everyone’s first time.

second time through

thankfully, like a remake, it's even better the second time

c/ped from another site about the wrap party a couple days ago:

There was just a live Q&A for Hei Network annual subscribers with Tim, Gregg, Eric Notarnicola, Vera Drew, Andrew Porter, Justin Gaynor. It was a rare appearance by Gregg out of any character (though he was calling in from his car). Some of the things they covered:

They mentioned that a lot of the characterization in general comes from the wardrobes first. Gregg does some of the eBay buying for the Gregg character's wardrobe, and there may be a Glenn Beck-inspired look for Tim in the future. Tripp Spencer came from Gregg just deciding to get cornrows because his filming was done, and then needing to do more filming.

The Hei Network gives them a lot more freedom than Adult Swim, but also new stress of being the ones who have to decide what their budget limits are

The first season of Xposed is coming "very soon." Tim talked about how much he enjoyed the Xposed pilot and laughed crying watching it.

The 7 Minutes in Heaven idea is still going to be produced.

They have more ideas for Decker, but still don't own the rights for it. But they're going to eventually make what is essentially more Decker under the new name John Jacob Dennicker.

The HEI Points form was just written as a joke by Tim off the cuff for fun, and doesn't seem like it will have any impact on anything.

One of the plot ideas they had for when (the fictional) On Cinema was owned by Chaplin's was that Chaplin's would be purchased by an oil company, and as a result On Cinema would be filmed at a gas station to air on those mini video screens that play when you fill your car up at the gas pump.

Vera Drew's personal view is that neither the Tim nor Gregg characters actually watch any of the movies they "review."

Gregg mentioned that they did have an idea to definitively end the show at the end of season 10 in a way that there was "no coming back from." Eric Notarnicola did mention that he personally had an idea to make everyone die from Gregg's car in the Oscar special but he didn't run it past anyone.

Most of the show is done in two takes, but there are also a number of single takes. Most of Mr. America was shot in one take.

Gregg sometimes will get popcorn stuck in his throat while filming.

Vera mentioned wanting an On Cinema video game.

All of them talked about looking for more ways to make the whole On Cinema experience even more interactive with the fans than it is.

Tim filmed Popcorn Shuffle, and Tim edits most of Gregg's segments, because he likes editing as a hobby.

farewell tom cruise
