It's not his YouTube that's funny, newfag. It's his Twitter that produces the most gold- it's where he drops all filters and lets you know what he really thinks. The juxtaposition between his idiotic takes and his delusion that he's a member of the intellectual elite is what makes him funny.
Also, lurk more.

Fun fact! You can get around the NYT's paywall by just archiving the article!The Christofascists in Poland are jailing an innocent American film-making elite! It should be okay with shooting drugs and beating someone up! It's the American way!!!! (NYT article is paywalled and possibly Fake News)
Funner fact! The guy admits to have been drinking before hitting the paramedic that was trying to take care of his drunk ass but it's not his fault because he can't remember anything and claims to have evidence that he was drugged. The charges were upped to four years because there's been a lot of attacks on paramedics for some reason in based Pokeball.
Funnest fact! This shit happened 2 years ago.
A Film Festival in Poland Feted His Work. Now He May Face Prison There.
Matty Libatique, the celebrated, Oscar-nominated cinematographer, is to be tried in February on charges he assaulted a paramedic who responded when he collapsed at a Polish hotel.

The Oscar-nominated cinematographer, who shot “A Star is Born,” “Straight Outta Compton,” “Black Swan” and “Iron Man,” had been arrested in northern Poland, accused of slugging a paramedic who came to his side when he collapsed in a hotel lobby during a film festival there.
Hollywood’s trade news and gossip sites reported the November 2018 incident, and Mr. Libatique’s colleagues made light of it a few days later when he returned to the United States.
But the joking was lost on Mr. Libatique, who says he can remember nothing about his collapse or what followed. He admits he had been drinking but fears, he said, with some evidence, that he was intentionally drugged.
What is incontrovertible is that he now faces possibly four and a half years in prison.
Though the Polish authorities pursue several thousand assault cases a year without much fanfare, the country’s top law enforcement official, the national Minister of Justice, Zbigniew Ziobro, took an interest in this one.
He remarked on Mr. Libatique’s case during a news conference the day after the cinematographer’s arrest. Too many paramedics were being assaulted nationwide, Mr. Ziobro said, and he urged prosecutors to “demand much more severe penalties.”
Polish paramedics have, in fact, been sounding the alarm about violence on the job. A recent study found nearly all of the paramedics polled had experienced aggression on the job, though the majority did not report assaults to police.

But Marcin Matczak, a law professor at the University of Warsaw, who studies Poland’s criminal justice system and is a critic of the national government, said he thought Mr. Ziobro was blowing the Libatique matter out of proportion to burnish his image as a defender of the common man.
“He was used by the minister of justice for his own populistic propaganda,” the professor said.
Mr. Ziobro’s office said in a statement that the justice minister had not singled out Mr. Libatique’s arrest but that the issue needed to be addressed because of “the increasing number of cases of assault on doctors, paramedics and medical staff providing assistance.”
“While performing their duties outside of the hospital, e.g. during mass events and in dangerous locations, they often fall prey to violence on the part of people under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive substances,” the statement said.
Mr. Libatique’s defense lawyer, Marcin Maminski, has argued that the national government has improperly meddled in the case, leaning on local prosecutors to an unusual extent. And though first offenders rarely receive harsh sentences, Mr. Libatique worries that, if he is convicted, prosecutors will push for the full three-year term on the assault charge plus another 1.5 years on a second charge he faces — “wybryk chuligański,” or hooliganism. They had tried to hold him for months without bail while he awaited trial until Polish judges ruled otherwise.
“I’m basically guilty until proven innocent and it scares me,” Mr. Libatique said, speaking from his home in Los Angeles.
Now he fears extradition back to a country where, in November 2018, he was treated, at first, like a rock star. He went there to attend Camerimage, a festival for directors of photography that draws a glittering international crowd to Bydgoszcz, about 180 miles northwest of Warsaw.
Mr. Libatique is known among cinematographers and their fans for edgy, highly polished shots that plunge audiences into the quivering psyches of characters, and the menace, sorrow, and ecstasy of their worlds. He earned a reputation for risk taking at the outset of his career, after shooting his film school buddy Darren Aronofsky’s early fever-dream films, among them “Pi,” and the sumptuously disturbing “Requiem for a Dream” (they’ve done six feature films together). In an email, Mr. Aronofsky described Mr. Libatique as a dogged perfectionist with a masterly eye: “his passion never wanes,” Mr. Aronofsky said. Mr. Libatique has also worked with Spike Lee, Joel Schumacher and Jon Favreau.

Stephen Pizzello, editor in chief of American Cinematographer magazine and one of Mr. Libatique’s longtime friends, said Mr. Libatique was “sort of a legend” at the Polish festival. “Matty’s in that class of guys who get mobbed,” Mr. Pizzello said. “Everybody loves the guy.”
On his last night there, Mr. Libatique and his partner, Mary Ellen Vales, went pub- and party-hopping into the wee hours.
Sometime after midnight, Mr. Libatique was holding a beer when he said someone — he doesn’t remember who — pressed a vodka drink into his hand.
After that, a curtain drops around his memory, he said.
But Ms. Vales, who was with him, said that shortly after 4 a.m., inside a club, Mr. Libatique started stumbling. He was talking gibberish, and later began weeping. A cab took them to the hotel and the driver lugged Mr. Libatique to a couch. But he was dead weight, and slid to the floor, where he started convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Ms. Vales cried to the concierge for help.
Minutes later, two paramedics arrived.
According to prosecutors, Libatique fought back when they tried to help him, breaking one of the paramedic’s teeth and later kicking a policeman.
Ms. Vales said the paramedics were rough with Mr. Libatique as they hauled him across the glossy tiled floor toward a more open space. Mr. Libatique responded as if attacked, flailing and yelling obscenities, and then took a swing, connecting with one of the paramedic’s faces, she said.
After that, Ms. Vales recalled, “all hell breaks loose.” She said the paramedics jumped on top of Mr. Libatique, and hit him in the face. As Mr. Libatique’s nose gushed blood, she said one paramedic restrained Mr. Libatique, while the other began squeezing Mr. Libatique’s head with his hands, telling Ms. Vales that Mr. Libatique had no respect. A video Ms. Vales took shows Mr. Libatique face down, cuffed and wailing unintelligibly, his face bloodied, a plume of reddish liquid on a pillow by his head, with blood smears on the floor. When the police arrived, they strapped Mr. Libatique to the seat of an ambulance, and drove him to a hospital.

Ms. Vales and Mr. Pizzello rushed there as well. Mr. Pizzello was allowed to go see his friend, who was hollering in a nearby room, handcuffed to a chair. At first Mr. Libatique didn’t recognize him, Mr. Pizzello said in an interview, and it concerned him. He’d seen Mr. Libatique only a few hours earlier, tipsy but lucid. Mr. Pizzello said two police officers standing by remarked that there was no way Mr. Libatique had gotten that intoxicated by alcohol alone.
Mr. Libatique’s memories of that morning are dim. He said he remembers waking up in hospital, his wrists and back sore, his face aching. He had never, he says, blacked out before from drinking, or come close to creating a scene, a claim his friends support.
“I remember trying to stay calm,” Mr. Libatique said. “And I remember trying to remember things.” He pieced together that he had hit someone, and would have to apologize, which he later did in court, saying he was sorry, he recalled, to the victims of his actions, the people of Bydgoszcz and to the Camerimage festival organizers.
Mr. Libatique was held for several nights in jail until a judge freed him, dismissing the prosecutors’ request that he be held until trial. Libatique was legally allowed to leave the country, but was fearful of being stopped at the airport, so he and Ms. Vales were driven by car into Germany at night
Two days later they returned to the U.S. where they later learned that prosecutors had appealed the decision to release him and were demanding the equivalent of $26,000 in bail, which Mr. Libatique paid.
But he’s carried on working, opting to lay low and make scant mention of the case, even as some people joshed about him having a wild night out. When Hollywood awards season kicked into gear in late 2018, he largely ducked out of promoting his work on “A Star is Born,” though it earned him his second Academy Award nomination. He was hired to shoot “Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn),” and Ryan Murphy’s “The Prom,” a musical to be released next month on Netflix.
Back in Poland, the case proceeded from one year to the next. Mr. Libatique’s lawyers have been challenging the prosecution’s argument that he was simply wildly drunk. According to official reports, blood taken from Mr. Libatique at the hospital showed a sky-high alcohol level of 0.30 percent. (In New York state, a charge of driving while intoxicated is triggered by a blood alcohol level of .08 percent.)
But Mr. Maminski contests that finding as false, and said he has separately submitted court filings accusing the paramedics and doctors who attended to Mr. Libatique of malpractice, though he would not elaborate on what basis.

The defense cannot definitively prove that Mr. Libatique was drugged, only that he might have been. Last year, in response to growing numbers of tourists getting drugged in Poland, the United States embassy in Warsaw issued a security alert. A toxicologist hired by the defense reported earlier this year that DNA samples taken from Mr. Libatique’s hair indicated he could have been drugged with GHB, the so-called date-rape drug. High levels of dextromethorphan, or DXM, a cough medicine stimulant used recreationally for “robo-tripping,” were also found. Mr. Maminski said his client had not willingly ingested either substance.
“It’s obvious that the prosecutor’s office in this case is not acting independently and is in fact following orders of superiors, not trying to establish the truth,” Mr. Maminski said.
A spokesman for the prosecutors’ office in Bydgoszcz, Włodzimierz Marszałkowski, said the toxicology test of hair samples cited by the defense was suspect because it had been taken nearly two months after the event.
Mr. Marszałkowski also denied that Mr. Libatique had been roughly handled and said he was being treating just like anyone else. Mr. Libatique’s avowal that he was not aware of what had happened and had no control over his actions only hurt his case, the spokesman said.
“In Poland, the fact that you’re under the influence of alcohol does not constitute a mitigating factor but an aggravating one,” Mr. Marszałkowski said.
Mr. Libatique’s trial is schedule to start in February and he and Ms. Vales expect to be allowed to testify from the United States over a video link.
Even during the pandemic, Mr. Libatique is working still, shooting Olivia Wilde’s latest picture, “Don’t Worry Darling,” near Palm Springs. But he said he’s turned down plum opportunities to work abroad, among them shooting Bradley Cooper’s new Leonard Bernstein film in London, because he is no longer comfortable leaving the country.
He and Ms. Vales are now engaged, but have put off getting married because of the stress of a case that friends say presents Mr. Libatique as a belligerent drunk, as a person they do not recognize.
“I’ve spent a lot of time with Matty all over the world,” Mr. Aronofsky said, “and he is always a gentleman.”

Of course Bob would call the Sonic the Hedgehog a war crime with him being a PTSD-ridden veteran of the Sega/Nintendo Console Wars.I hate Sonic forever1111111
Admit it, Bobo. You hate the film because it refutes your very philosophy towards fandom. The fans can never be right in your polished smooth brain; either they shut the fuck up and take their medicine or they can fuck off because heaven forbid a studio try to actually appeal to people would pay to see it and buy the ancillary merchandise. You defend Ghostbuster (2016) and The Last Jedi because their directors and the media journos antagonized the fanbase at every opportunity--and effectively destroyed those franchises. Paramount took the other route and actually listened to the fanbase. That in turn bought them enough good will to make Sonic the Hedgehog profitable. Not a billion-dollar tentpole by any means, but a respectable performance nevertheless.
What's more, it demonstrates that loud, obnoxious, Twitter-addicted assholes like yourself have an extremely low return on investment. Now that the studios are hurting for cash (notably Disney and Warnermedia) because of the pandemic, the bean counters in accounting are waking up to this. Your woke bullshit doesn't sell. For all your pathetic mewling about "fan entitlement" the fans are in no way obligated to give these companies any of their hard-earned cash, especially now that Biden looks to crash the economy with a nationwide lockdown.
Don't pretend to have any compassion for the animators that had to start over with a new computer model. You are too self-absorbed to empathize with anyone other than yourself. You're crying because reality smacked you across the face and you're too stupid to figure out why,

How much of these two rooms is completely inaccessible due to toddler toy hoard? They have lost access to a whole door.
That's too much shit, and it's probably not played with regularly. FFS donate or trash 90% of it so the whole family won't burn up in a house fire.

This should be the motto for this year. For all the shit it has thrown everyone. And the mountain of Smug Chipman has made for YEARS. It has clearly given Bob a boomstick full of reality straight to his Adam's apple. He loathes it. He hates it enough to try to deny it. But deep down, he is crying angrily since the Mayo Ghouls have been getting more victories over him, Gamers have been more right than he has been. And the very illusion he tried to build himself on politics was torn down twice by the people he has championed. The Ls have been racking up, and not even the end of the Orange man's presidency is enough to enjoy it.
The amount of anger in his heart cannot be measured. And the fat ass will get more furious the more the world remains saying "fuck you" back at him until one day his body completely fucks off on him.
A tragic fate unless he develops a sense of Self-awareness. Highly unlikely.

This quiz was made for the EFAP podcast, so if you do not watch it most of the jokes will not make sense. However, the quiz is still fully functional as a demonstration of how insane MovieBob is. All of the MovieBob quotes are sourced from his twitter. The Nazi quotes have primary been sourced...docs.google.com
Can you discern which quotes are MovieBob and which are by actual white supremacists?
Of those I got wrong, 16 quotes were from Nazis and other far-right figures I mistook for Bob's and 11 quotes were Bob's I thought were Nazis and other far-right figures.
I would like to sincerely apologize to the Nazis I mistook for Bob Chipman. You deserve so much better.

E-begging intensifies. I admit I don’t know the lore of many lolcows, but surely Chris Chipman is approaching hall of fame status for his pathetic e-begging right? This is a train wreck.

Why would someone who lives in constant filth get a real christmass tree that constantly sheds its pines everywhere and needs cleaning due to the mess?
