Bob Chipman / Robert Lewis Chipman / MovieBob / Game OverThinker - "Coastal Elite Thinker" who wants conservatives, Christians and manual workers eradicated. Universally ignorant; cannot tell reality from sci-fi. Sore loser with short fuse. Odious Disney shill. Tranny chaser and general creep. Fat and diabetic.

[King Dead]

I dunno. I have one Minecraft fan in my life, a 15 year old who should be squarely in the demographic (he literally grew up on this game), but who has already scornfully described even the teaser trailer as "complete shit." He hates Jack Black like poison, doesn't think the jokes so far are funny, and wants to know why it isn't just in the Minecraft world, which is what he wants to see.

I'm not saying Bob is right -- Bob is so broken he can't lay aside his pighead biases even for children's movies -- but I don't think this thing's success is assured. The bar for nostalgia bait/kidflicks is really low, so I won't be shocked if it is a hit, but I wouldn't make any bets.

Teenagers are probably going to be a bit too old to be interested, but I would have said the same thing about the Mario movie too. Even those who grew up with these games are likely not going to want to sit through a generic kids' movie version. Like I said, the audience is kids and fanboys, and by fanboys I mean middle-aged consoomers like Bob.

But that does raise one point of difference between them: the plot. Even if it's barebones, the Mario games have a very simple plot structure that the movie could easily copy and paste: Bowser's up to some kind of bad guy shenanigans and it's up to Mario to beat him. As a sandbox game, Minecraft has effectively zero plot and no real goals set out for the player; sure, you can go kill the dragon and get the pseudo-philosophical wall of text "ending," but you can also ignore that entirely without consequence. How do you adapt a game with no story? I guess just have Jack Black show up and be Jack Black for an hour and a half.

It might not crest a billion like Mario did, but as you said, the bar is low enough that I can see it being successful. It probably would have been a lot more successful if they hadn't done this bizarre live-action/CGI hybrid abomination, but what do I know?

On the contrary, his Minecraft Movie review doesn't draw nearly as much attention from his followers.

Your browser is not able to display this video.
Whichever studio who made this turd should shovel it as tax write-off.

At the time Minecraft started getting big, Bob was doing a show called the Game Overthinker in which he did commentary on video games and the culture around them, despite not actually playing the games. His refusal to play Minecraft or even know anything about it, until his niece and nephew got into it, was just him being stubborn. Also the fact that he has no personal creativity and probably wouldn't be able to handle an open world game where you do whatever you want.

Only watched a minute or so of the video but it's just Bob projecting his willful ignorance on other people yet again.

Something to counter Bob's Thinkers(TM) & Believers(TM) dichotomy:

As far as Bob's take on Disco, I thought it evolved into Pop music, same party vibe and attitude. Some songs today would probably fit that genre if was released back then:

Granted both Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa have a huge gay following, I doubt no one was up in arms about these songs recently. It also doesn't hurt to have some eye candy as well.

 

[Princess Rescuer]

Bob's "Disco Part 2" video couldn't have come at a worse time. First of all, the only group of people who's erasing minority entertainment aren't randos on the internet with negative opinions, they're the executives who put it on digital streaming services that lack any kind of permanence. And executives who just wiped Rucka Rucka Ali (a day before the video came out) off of all mainstream platforms, greatly reducing his reach and exposure. THAT is erasing minority work (Rucka is multi-racial we're led to believe), not opinions that knock privileged diversity hires off of their high horses. Also, another way to erase minorities is to put them in bad entertainment nobody likes, not even other minorities and then sic them on their own audiences. Like, sorry for not giving you all of our money and saying nothing but nice things to you. Try making something good next time.

One of the reasons why Minecraft is expected to do so well is the lack of any major kids films currently available. Snow White shat the bed so hard that there's nothing in theaters that kids want to see. Bob conveniently left that out of his Bluesky tirade and his shitty review since he was adamant about Snow Spic being a success, and this fat faggot never wants to admit when he's wrong. If Minecraft ends up being a success as he predicted, then it's just a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.

 

[Princess Rescuer]

On Bluesky (you'll see in the next social media collection), Bob complains about tariffs making Switch 2 more expensive. Wouldn't they do that for every console then? And why does he care, he's in mountains of debt and couldn't afford one if the console were $80.

Doesn't even make sense, anyway. It's more expensive worldwide.

PiggyBob really is the kind of stupid that raises questions.

Does that fucking retard have a tail?
Just how snockered WAS Ma Chipman the whole time she was pregnant with Lardo Retardo?
Just how many generations of inbreeding went into producing the Kwisatz Tarderach?
Who gets stuck with Robert once Ma Chipman goes tits up?

As I said, debt or no debt, tariff or no tariff, he absolutely must consoom.

Not wanting the Switch 2 means you are rejecting modernity.

The Quartering is right. People like Bobby are swimming in privilege, and they are complaining because they are too privileged, and a frustration from enjoying privilege feels to them like oppression. Also, if given a choice to erase either Brie Larson or Bobby from existence, I'd spare Bobby.

"You don't need a Switch 2; you just want a Switch 2" actually means "I want to kill my grandparents".

They make another Naked Gun movie, this time with Liam Neeson.

I want to puke. At least Liam Neeson doesn't reek of ten dozen types of STD.

He wants everyone to have a Switch 2 because then that means he was right to choose Nintendo as a kid. Even though he didn't really have a choice. He got what his parents got him.

Yep, literally called The Anti-Thinker.

Bob is pro-trans because if a man can identify as a woman and be considered valid, then he can identify as correct and that also be valid.

He's lying. You need to remember he's way more tech savvy than the majority of humanity. So if he tells his followers that he's a big success, they'll believe him. And since they are his followers, they will.

Only in Movietard's deranged mind would relying on mass-produced products to be happy be considered a virtue. Even if he could buy the Switch 2 and play the millionth Mario Kart game, he would still be the same obese retard languishing in his mother's basement with no future career prospects. Nothing in his life would improve beyond yet another temporary distraction before he goes back to sperging on Bluesky.

I am confident in my Media Literacy™ to say that I already know what the Minecraft movie will be based on the trailers: a barebones "plot" that only exists to hang a bunch of references to the game on, from basic ones everyone knows to esoteric ones that will make fans clap when they see them. Adults will be confused and/or bored, but kids will eat it up in droves. It'll probably be the first major box office success of the year. (Sorry to dash your hopes, @Positron.)

I mentioned it before, but I feel it bears repeating: Bob's review of the Minecraft movie as "a Minecraft movie" applies in exactly the same way to the Mario movie from a couple years ago. Both have excuse plots, both thrive on reference bait, both appeal solely to fanboys and kids, and both are the first big box office draws of the year after an anemic start (I'm assuming in Minecraft's case, anyway). Interestingly enough, both also follow the release of an underperforming Marvel movie too: Mario came out a couple months after Ant-Man 3, and Minecraft is coming out a couple months after Cap 4.

Of course, if you tried to get Bob to admit to these similarities, he'd flat-out refuse to. Bob is too much of a Mario fanboy that he's blinded to the fact that the movie was generic slop. All they had to do was dangle Brooklyn in front of his eyes and he immediately let any criticisms he might have had fly out the window. But because he's not a fan of Minecraft, he'll happily dunk on its movie all day long, even though it's exactly the same situation.

Powerlevel, but I work in ECE. And every kid at work is SUPER stoked for the Minecraft movie. The film hasn’t even premiered here and they’ve all been pestering their parents for weeks about it. This film is gonna be huge.

Also, as an aside. I talked to a mother of a 5 year old just this morning and she said ”yeah we have to see the Minecraft movie since he’s so excited about it. I just hope it’s a genuinely good movie like Sonic 3.”

I could just picture Bob fuming when she said that lol

Bob is pro-trans because despite being the world's premiere thinker, he's a leftist, and they rely heavily on group-approval.

Bob is "pro trans" because he knows lots of women on "his side" are, and he'll ally with any woman and every woman, until they *all* Lindsey him.

"Pop Music" literally means popular music. It is not a genre. All that shit is just modern disco.

Bob is pro-trans because he needs to know that SOMETHING wants to have sex with him.

 

[TowinKarz]

"Pop Music" literally means popular music. It is not a genre. All that shit is just modern disco.

It's kind of this weird rolling label of "what's popular today" - and ironically, only names genres as soon as they start to get unpopular/on the way out.

Disco wasn't called that in it's day as much as "hit music" - and when people started getting fed up with it? Then the "Disco Sucks!" banners went up and "hit music" became synth pop and new wave. Which also wouldn't have "proper" names until hair metal and grunge replaced them.

The point I'm trying to make is? Anyone who calls themselves a pop culture expert? Like Bob? Is a liar.

By definition? You can't be an expert on it because its a target that's always moving while changing size and shape.

Its like calling yourself an expert on the significance and impact of a painting while it's being painted. Or a battle while your in it.

You just can't be such a thing. History needs time to cook before it's history.

And ironically? Bob's stubborn clinging to and exaltation of the 90's proves he's anything BUT pop culture.

"You don't need a Switch 2; you just want a Switch 2" actually means "I want to kill my grandparents".

Part of capitalism is choosing when NOT to buy something you fucking retards! It's not anticapitalist to just NOT buy things if you think they're too expensive!
