"If I could give one message to the world from my grave, it would be: Don't vaccinate. It's so dangerous and deadly."

February 28, 2016.
The 88th Academy Awards are aired on ABC. Simultaneously, the Fourth On Cinema Oscar Special is streamed on Adult Swim. You are watching neither, but something even better: Godzilla: Final Wars, the penultimate entry of the then 29 movie series that you have watched one each day in that month. You post screenshots to Twitter just by using the screenshot feature on your iPhone, little realizing you won’t be able to do that with iTunes anymore by the end of the year. If someone told you you’d never be this happy again, you’d believe it.

consistently amazed by how great the editing gags are in these live specials
gregg staring off into the distance with his “i will leave if dekkar comes back” quickly fading in and out is such a perfect encapsulation of his dynamic with tim

Tim Heidecker may be an alcoholic, pseudoscientific, MAGA-peddling nutjob with anger problems, but I fucking hate Gregg Turkington.

Tim, after bringing out a CG rendering of a teenage version of his recently deceased year-old son: “I thought that was good - - that was healthy”
(And because there are so many good quotes here, another favorite: “Just because you’re James Dean doesn’t mean I’m not gonna beat your ass”) -
just a reminder that a short four years ago we said farewell to tom cruise - we miss you son you ain't comin' back

Tim is so mean to Gregg and it genuinely upsets me.
All he wants to do is talk about movies and do his tribute to Bond, but Tim won't stop ruining it with his rageaholism.

My favorite comment on the archived YouTube broadcast of this was “Tim should behead James Dean live” and if that doesn’t sum up On Cinema, what does?

Yet again dragged down by Gregg Turkington's unprofessional attitude and his disrespect towards Dekkar, and the dearly missed Tom Cruise Heidecker. Disgraceful, GreggHeads everywhere should be fucking ashamed.
