On Cinema at the Cinema on ilxor.com

in my slow watch world, decker hasn't even started

80s: billy idol
90s: kurt roder

Just realized Gregg's wife (pictured up thread with Rupert Boneham) plays Sally Kellerman's handler in Decker.

Just noticed she's holding a VHS tape

oooohhh

we haven't talked about Tripp Spencer yet

lol @ offhanded gunfire

A while back, I came across a post that pointed out who each of the spectators were for each day of the trial are but I can't remember where it was anymore, I'm guessing reddit but I just looked there again and couldn't find it.

I'd love to see that

Mister America trailer coming Sept 4

Anyone go to their Book Soup event this week?

look at what the guy brought for them to sign...

On Cinema is canon and everything, but I wonder if you people ("you people") who're about On Cinema are maybe also into the 2 Wet Crew videos that Doug's been making the last few years with Jay Weingarten, Mikey Kampmann, and an assorted cast of regulars from the Mt Washington/Glendale abso-lutely scene, including of course Tim? they're way more surreal (and will use the annoying term Lynchian), but super good.

let me also real quick stan for this Jay Weingarten thing. it is the kind of standup insanity that I believe makes a difference in this world

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxUL0NI9O4

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?
