On Cinema (S1, Ep. 101): 'The Man with the Iron Fists' and 'Flight'

[@fadedneon649]

if you're just starting this series, welcome to a glorious journey

[@booradley0x0]

HAHAHA Im back here for round 3.

[@NobodyCaresALot]

I have lost track. It's almost like listening to a good music album, which I know has NO place in movie reviews unless it's a soundtrack and that should be secondary to the acting and directing chops.

[@number1authority]

So true. It’s a work of genius and that is not an exaggeration.

[@RoryBecktar]

Thank you I'm excited

[@chanceg1218]

first time here xD

[@TruthMcBane]

Re-watching this first episode, it's interesting to note that Gregg is actually the first to give a six-bag rating, a practice he'll decry in later episodes.

[@tflynn717]

TruthMcBane similarly, Tim is the first to bring up the length of the Popcorn Classic, a detail he will come to loathe

He's not wrong. They all act, and they all have faces.

[@BrucknerMotet]

[@philcollinslover56705]

I don't know why, but what he said rung around in my head for a while. All of them act the same, and the oscar-award winners all act the same "over-the-top" realistic acting, one that is not too natural as to keep the audience thinking that it is acting. They can't truly lose themselves in the character, they have to remind the audience their acting for the awards and praises.

I love that Gregg's first line is "Hey guys."

[@MrGethsemane]

Wow. Truly this story contains the essence of a greek tragedy. Two men try to come together to share their passions and in the process of doing so, end up destroying one another. Tim, once innocent and childlike, now disfigured and scarred by his Dekkar and vape lifestyle, and with a dead son on his hands. Gregg, once genuine and excited, has become too distant and cold after dealing with Tim's emotional and probably physical abuse. He is only invested now in the scraps of their destroyed professional partnership.

[@pleasantpeasant3313]

It's truly tragic

[@BrooklynLuke]

Gregg also now dealing with the catastrophic destruction of the Victorville Film Archive, which seemed to be his life's work and his pride and joy. A destruction that came at the hands of his homeless, drug-addicted friend Tim, who he was only trying to help by letting him stay in the storage unit. Lots of layers to the tragedy here

[@dr.stevebrule4511]

As a droctor, I took the liberty of assessing what exactly makes a Tranghead and a Gorghead, check itout: Phase 1: 10-20 episodes in; You are curious because you know Tim Heidecker is funny, but you’ve never seen him outside of Tim & Eric before. You also have no idea who this unsightly Gregg character is. You start to pick and choose throughout the seasons of episodes where they review some of your favorite films that you know. You skip the ones you don’t know because why would anyone want to watch a review of something they don’t care about. Phase 2: 20-40 episodes in; You’ve settled into the format and start to become comfortable with Gregg. The episodes so far have been funny, but not laugh out loud shit your pants funny. You continue watching because now you’ve realized it’s a quick and enjoyable way to kill 5-10 minutes. Plus you love movies. Phase 3: 40-60 episodes in; Alright, now the show is starting to get funnier and funnier by the minute. You have seen enough now to start to pick up on all the subtle recurring jokes that weren’t funny back in Phase One. You aren’t a total Gregghead or Timhead yet, but you’re getting there. You’ve started to realize that every single idea Tim has is destined to get someone hurt or killed. You might be ready to watch the full highlights of “The Trial”, but if not definitely will be in the next phase. Phase 4: 60-80 episodes in; You suddenly burst in a fit of giggles at the slightest things these people say. From “Hey Guys” to Tim’s name mispronunciations, this show is becoming the best thing to ever happen to you. You are now mentally dedicated to finishing the entire 110 episode series and then some. You might have even gone back and rewatched a few just to fill yourself in on the storyline. Chances are, you’ve randomly selected an episode where Tim is maimed or beaten beyond words and you want to go back and see the slow progression of what got him there. Also, by this phase, you HATE Dr. San. Phase 5: 80-100 episodes in; You have subconsciously begun rating almost everything you see in life on the “5 Bags of Popcorn” scale, even things that don’t have to do with cinema. For myself in this phase, I began rating cars and houses I’d see as “5 Bags of Popcorn” if I really liked them. It just happened automatically. You may be reading this in Phase One and think “that will never happen to me”, but don’t kid yourself, accept it. Depression of the realization that you will soon be out of fresh, never before seen episodes starts to haunt you. You try to stop as to leave some for the future, but you eagerly devour them daily until the final phase sets in. Final Phase: All 110 episodes viewed; Prayers for a full 12th season begin to run through your mind. Memories of all the times Tim yelled or Gregg did a popcorn classic spring into your mind throughout the day to give you a hearty chuckle. The 1,000+ inside jokes are now easy to spot. You are a total Gregghead or Timhead and you feel absolutely included in the On Cinema At The Cinema family. You can’t think of the films Star Trek IV or Oh God! without splitting a side. You develop your own personal “favorite running gag” to comment on or discuss with others in the “family”. Mine being how every episode spans from 5-15 minutes long yet they are ALWAYS concerned about “if they have enough time left” for Gregg’s segments when there is clearly no time limit at all. Welcome to the family! FORYOURHEALGTH!

[@jimreily7538]

This is absolutely beyond true for me. Hunks may see things differently but who cares what some hunk thinks. Thanks Dr Brule !

I agreed with everything here except the LIBEL and SLANDER of The Great Dr. San. He was a true medical genius who was tragically murdered by Hillary Clinton and The Deep State after he unlocked the secret to sustenance without solid food. R.I.P!
