there is that one episode/clip where tim endorses trump but i’m glad he otherwise doesn’t really exist in the universe either, and that most of the time tim is just trying to get people like mike huckabee on the oscars specials

lol xp

lmao arghhh I must have erased that from my memory

but yeah that's kinda the genius of the show, it doesn't really have to mention Trump by name

besides Tim is more of a Jacob Wohl type anyway

indeed, it's very much "show don't tell", w/ tim pretending to be this uber-republican. the relentless and constant prayers nearly every episode can only lead to a spectacular tumble into atheism right? tim's already lost moneyzap, he's bound to lose god, too :(

I dunno if this show and this political environment have broken my brain but these impeachment hearings remind me SO MUCH of Tim's wild & desperate attempts to defend himself Rosetti's systematic dismantling of his every single talking point

lol I just saw Nunes reading conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory to Hill and Holmes and asking them if they knew these facts, and thought exactly of Tim, came here and read yr post

sir are you aware of the Chinese Connection

tim endorsed ben carson before he endorsed trump

Mike Huckabee as well.

so Mark was jailed for selling the illegal VFA tapes right?

good interview w/Gregg and Eric N.

...Vish is the Marc Maron of indie rock.

never heard of him before, this vid has like 400 views

mods feel free to delete if it's too uncool for ILX

Ha no, I mean he's like omnipresent and has pretty good taste (...to even great taste, c.f. the DLJ oral history) but he'll inevitably start talking about his wife or Guelph (?) or something. Not a dig at you crut, I listened to this very podcast a few months ago on a long drive.

talking about his wife or Guelph (?) or something

It’s a radio show from Guelph, so

it's just that I find it hard to believe that anyone really cares about Guelph or Vish's wife.

...or Marc Maron.

Dunno if I would describe Vish as ‘omnipresent’ but yeah he’s great, wth, I am a fan. Wld rather hear about Guelph than the Comedy Store 10 times out of 10.

it's just that I find it hard to believe that anyone really cares about Guelph or Vish's wife.

I listen to 15 minutes a week of a 15-hour-a-week breakfast radio show from Melbourne, and I definitely don’t care about the menu from some café on Punt Road, but sometimes you take collateral damage

one of the founders of guelph was john galt, the writer of annals of the parish, which is not only a seminal scottish realist novel but also is the source of the word "utilitarian". mill took it from the novel

Wow, I wonder what Vish's wife thinks of Galt? Maybe we could pause the skype interview with some recording artist whose label made him do an interview with Vish just so we can understand what her views are.

Wow, I wonder what Vish's wife thinks of Galt?

i too am interested to know

congratulations to the happy couple

Normally I wouldn't care because I don't carry around vhs tapes, but I made this card that you guys can print & laminate in case you are stopped by the @LAPDHQ for buying @greggturkington's video tapes #oncinema pic.twitter.com/y7qBpY1Q47

you'd think a police station would have the resources to have wikipedia

ON SAFETY

"I'm not even going to put that shell back in there."

I thought the whole series (or at least Tim) might come to an end there for a minute.

Chekov would've been disappointed with that little subplot.

I figured Toni > Gregg > Tim in order of likeliness to get shot

But also that it’s more likely to be setting up Tim’s next major obsession, and Toni’s arc of trying to manage / cope with it next season

Tim telling Toni she wasn’t allowed to talk to Gregg gave me chills

Bearing in mind that Gregg fronted a metal band of "suicide survivors" from 1992 - 2001, anyone feelin' that Tim's "accident" was an abandoned suicide attempt?

Yep.

Definitely intended to be a possibility in the viewer’s mind.

Tim spending like a full minute recklessly demonstrating the method by which he nearly killed himself was just the perfect blend of hilarity and terror.

Here is @greggturkington’s “Search for Mark” video that he sent in tonight. He was out in LA looking for Mark while @timheidecker and Toni sat at home doing nothing. #OnCinema pic.twitter.com/GamPjXSAaM

LOL

Someone told me I wasn’t qualified to clean a toilet let alone host a TV show and that I was a worthless piece of [bleep] but me and my fans are saying bye to the haters and keeping it #positive! #ThatWasCold https://t.co/vqGOhCveL3

so I can't figure out how the Oscar specials are broadcast, the Adult Swim streaming channel doesn't have them all... are these broadcast/streamed live? Is the 2020 one scheduled for Oscar night? Or did I miss something?

I guess there was some kind of telethon...?

they are broadcast live on youtube, adult swim doesn't fund/broadcast them, the telethon is to fund the special

Anyone go to the Amoeba LA event earlier this week?

oh actually i googled and they did stream the oscar special on adult swim the last 2 years

not sure how they're gonna handle it this year with Tim & Eric on tour

i really hope they do it bc it's the only reason for oscar to exist

Got the book as an xmas gift. In case it wasn't clear (and it wasn't to me until I actually flipped through the thing) it's basically the entire On Cinema saga in print form. For those interested.
