Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

Some movies, like Iron Man 3, have different cuts in China in order to include Chinese actors.

I took a glance at that latest video of his. I remember when Bob, while fat, still at least had a semblance of physical dignity. My god, he's gone to seed so badly. His jowls are three times the size they were, and I'm fairly certain he has his eyes covered just to keep viewers from noticing how jaundiced they are.

Also that accent. He sounds like DSP. In fact he sounds worse than DSP. DSP has sometimes managed to sound reasonably professional when reading from a script. Bob's fake accent and tone make him impossible to take seriously on any level. It's a shame; I remember when Bob used to be at least mildly entertaining. Nowadays you can just feel the frustration, resentment and hatred leaking out through his every sentence.

Going to bring that ups is problematic because only white people can be racist. Lets forget how racist that Chinese, Koreans, especially the Japanese are to black people because that might lead to uncomfortable conversations. Not to mention that Hispanics depending on what sub-section of latinos can be quite racist to blacks as well.

A lot of SJWs blame whites for Asians hating blacks.

I honestly have no idea why Bob's white-knighting for Colin Trevorrow lately, given that he's only okay at best and terrible at worst. He even extends his defense to an exceptional analysis of Tarantino:

Bob Chipman doesn't understand how humans work.

 

[Positron]

Hitchcock and Kubrick have "alien ideas" about the human psyche? What the hell was he watching? These two directors may not have picked the most obvious, most comic-bookish portrayal of human nature, but without human understanding they couldn't have made fear and obsession to get under your skin.

Tarantino is comic-bookish compared with Kubrick and Hitchcock. That why Bobby gives him a pass. But how the hell does Bill in Kill Bill "appropriate Asian culture", when only two of the five assassins are Asian-inspired (and one of them a genuine Asian to boot)?

Only Asians can learn martial arts IRL. Whitey just shoots people.

Apparently only Asians are allowed to know martial arts. Social justice types were salty as hell when the white guy in Iron Fist dared to learn kung fu too.

All except Bob, who hates guns and Fps which helped cause 9/11 in his mind.

I'm pretty sure this morbidly obese psychopath is actually autistic after reading that. It's amazing he thinks he knows anything about the human condition.

I don't know if this is a-logging but if Bob's Superior Future ever comes, can I be the "PoC" who gets to toss him in the pile with the rest of the "inferior white trash"? Perhaps the irony will be the one joy I'd get to keep in the nightmarish dictatorship that would be Earth™.

 

[Positron]

Good to know that "Fascist Progressivism" isn't a real thing, because this is exactly Bobby's pipe dream.

 

[Blindrainbow]

It's quite a feet for a man called movie bob to know little to knowing about movies, the people who make them, how there made, marketed, and so on.

 

[Emperor Julian]

Though Bob doesn't have that kind of insight when reviewing genre films for as "worldly" as he is, he is rather Ameri-centric in his analysis of film.

Bob's quite american centric in general. His whole brighter future logic works on the idea that every nation on the planet has the same ideological attitudes as Neo-liberal. He never consider that perhaps Pakistans or even britains supererior future problaby doesnt entail some shitty parody of philosopher kings with more crass commericalism and that's before you consider factions within any country which arnt interested in playing nice with others so they have access to the new mario.

EDIT-I wonder if Bob is remotly aware that China's most likely playing the long game to establish their own cultural and economic hegemony and is exploiting neo-liberal sentiments to do so?

I think if you told him that he'd either say you're making that up or argue that you're a right-wing nut who's just afraid of globalism for thinking that's a bad thing. Oh, and rant about it happening is only because we elected Trump instead of Hillary who'd lead us in to glorious globalized future, it's great that China's picking up the pieces.

Here is Bob's latest review on the newest Transformer movie

He cannot go without the contempt for Michael Bay. It is funny that Bob cannot comprehend why the Transformers do so well at the box office being a critic, yet seems to forget the all "important" foreign box office. Overall Bob seems more reigned in than usual but still manages to A-Log like the man we know and despise.

In fairness, I hate Michael Bay's Transformers films too and this latest one looks like utter, utter shit.

Has anyone mentioned to him the inability to break into the Chinese market was part of why his precious Ghostbusters reboot tanked? Or did he (predictably) just stick his fingers in his ears and yell something along the lines of "la-la-la-it-was-misogyny-la-la-la"? Would I be right to guess he'd have a similar reaction to spelling that fact out in the Transformers movies but with Michael Bay bashing instead? Or would he just unperson Chinese as "honorary whites" like some SJWs do?

Bob acted towards the Ghostbusters reboot the same way Jeremy Corbyn acted towards the EU referendum. While he paid occasional lip service to the muh-soggy-knee surrounding the film, the truth was he wasn't terribly thrilled about the reboot either and only gave it a positive review because he didn't want to lose favour with his SocJus overlords.

Which is funny because they don't watch his shit, hang out with him or care about him.He's not actually 'in' with them he could most likely never say anything again about them and they wouldn't notice.

Empathy is "emotional intelligence." Oh, Bob. Oh, Bob.

I've also been sitting here trying to noodle why his analysis of Tarantino using a self-insert in Kill Bill is so dumb and it just hit me. That theory rests entirely on the presumption that Tarantino feels the faintest amount of white guilt that Bob insists all straight white men should feel, and therefore criticizes himself as a result of it. Having seen every Tarantino movie except Jackie Brown and being unfortunately familiar with how he generally conducts himself in public, I have never seen the slimmest iota of evidence for that. Kill Bill as a straight up violent revenge fantasy? Sure. Kill Bill as a celebration of violence that smoothly transitions in Part 2 into a clever deconstruction of same? Sure. Kill Bill as a coded message for Tarantino thinking, "Oh, heavens, I'm a fount of racist, toxic masculinity and my bestest footgirl Uma should explode my heart for it!" Kinda doubt it.

So yet again it's just Bob grafting his blinkered perspective onto a "problematic" work he enjoys so he doesn't have to feel guilty about it.

 

[His Dewliness]

EDIT-I wonder if Bob is remotly aware that China's most likely playing the long game to establish their own cultural and economic hegemony and is exploiting neo-liberal sentiments to do so?

I assume Bob knows basically nothing about China building huge amounts of African infrastructure and occupying an increasingly large number of technically skilled jobs to the point where, in 30 or so years time lots of African states will essentially have to do what China wants or else risk a huge chunk of their skilled workers and everyone who can fix the roads and the ports in anything approaching a timely fashion going back to China.

Bob doesn't understand what neo-colonialism is, at best he'd know it as a talking point to moan about the West "forcing" it's culture into other countries by building fast food restaurants in third world countries.

Also this stuff is happening mostly in Africa and to a lesser extent Central Asia (although that part of the world is still Russia's playground to a large extent), and Bob's a massive racist and almost entirely US-centric so he doesn't give a shit.

That's more thought than I put into it, though I think you're right. I just read it and thought "wow that's really fucking dumb even by Bob standards" and gave up trying to make head or tail out of it. Tarantino is just a major movie nerd who loves exploitation flicks and couldn't give two fucks about cultural appropriation or whatever bullshit Bob is on about.

Bob is autistic so he doesn't get that and interprets everything through the lens of everyone must have the same dumb preoccupations and prejudices he has, because he doesn't conceive of other people even having minds.

ETA: Also any nonsense that Tarantino is racked by white guilt is completely blown out of the water just by the fact he uses the word "nigger" 113 times in Django and when called out on it, basically told everyone to go fuck themselves. Then he used it another 65 in Hateful Eight.

I mostly agree with that, but he did jump on the Black Lives Matter / anti-cop bandwagon around the time Hateful Eight came out, which was maybe not so smart from a business perspective. Still, I think it's less to do with white guilt than by doing a bit of public penance so he can continue to use the word "nigger" without getting tarred and feathered for it. Bob, I'm sure, took it as sincerely meant.
