[WelperHelper99]

I mentioned PointlessHub here before, and despite pretty much all of his videos being about very dumb movies, he doesn't try to make excuses for why he likes them. He readily admits that movies like Bayformers and basically everything Roland Emmerich has put out are objectively not good movies, but he still enjoys them for what they are. And on the flip side, when a movie doesn't work, he doesn't shy away from discussing why that is.

Bob really seems to have an issue with people thinking that the things he likes are stupid, like he thinks they're calling him stupid or something. In his mind, because he is a super smart man with excellent taste, everything he enjoys must automatically be the greatest thing ever. He will go to great lengths to defend the things he loves as being truly superior, instead of just admitting that he likes dumb shit sometimes (most of the time, actually). For someone that tells people to quit taking things so seriously all the time, Bob sure doesn't practice what he preaches.

Pointless Hub is my movie tastes to a T. Is a movie shit? Yeah. Will I still watch it? Also yes. I'm not ashamed to admit I like cheese and ham in my entertainment. It makes the top tier films and television taste that much better in contrast.

Take for example Trailer Park Boys. Obnoxious swearing, sex jokes, drinking and driving, fight scenes with guns that never kill anyone- objectively it's shit, but that's why I love it. Not every piece of media needs to be smart or serious to be enjoyable. Bob missed that memo.

It's a weird dichotomy with Bob. On the one hand, he clearly loves schlock. On the other hand, he has a pathological need to be seen as "intelligent," "cultured," and "better than the idiot Christian rethuglikkkans." This contrast manifests as his declaration of the MCU as the work of art of our time, his "Paradise Lost meets Care Bears," his autobiography, and so much more. It's too bad he's such an obnoxious ass, and not in a funny way like Patrick Tomlinson.

It's too bad he's such an obnoxious ass, and not in a funny way like Patrick Tomlinson.

yea that's what people notice with his hatred of the Sonic films. By all metrics Sonic 3 is a better film than Emilia Perez, Brave New World and the Mario movie: it has themes, arcs, passable effects and does what it sets out to do. For Bob, however, he has a bias against that franchise so the films are all "bad", in the sense that he dismisses them by just describing the premise and going "heh, schlock amirite?". But when Godzilla does it, it's not only brilliant as an action film but he has to defend the talking scenes too hence his 10/10 for Godzilla 2, one of the most boring and murky-looking films ever made

Listen to his Sonic 3 review, he barely reviews the movie and instead reviews the fanbase and franchise. He then describes a scene where he has to "explain the sonic lore to his fellow critics" and then sees the critic take pity on him for knowing what that is. What's to bet that same critic gave the movie a positive review, because for all of its anime schlock it had characters that went thru arcs and the anime bullshit was a payoff to those arcs? Whereas what Bob is trying to do with that anecdote is will the kind of condescending dismissiveness he knows he gets when critics see the Mario movie and he says he loves it. So he hates that critics give 85 percent when Sonic and Shadow go super because "it's just Sonic and a different shade of Sonic turning yellow!!!" even if it's meant symbolize character growth but then is deep down thinking "why did those mean ole critics give Mario a 59? when Mario and tall Mario take the super star it's a reference to my favorite vidya!!"

I just watched Sanic 3 the other night, and while it's certainly hitting you over the head with the themes, it still manages to do so in a satisfying way. What honestly surprised me, especially in the age of Marvel bathos, was the sincerity of the payoff scene. No quips, no corny jokes, just Sonic and Shadow having a heartfelt conversation as they both come to learn a lesson. Imagine that: the character who's known for being a wisecracking goofball knows how to be sincere better than basically every character in the MCU! Is it high art? Hell no. But it still manages to clear a simple bar that most of the schlock Bob likes fails to.

I haven't seen the Mario movie, but from everything I've heard, it's basically an excuse plot to shove a bunch of references in your face, set to an out-of-place soundtrack, and any semblance of story is the most basic imaginable. Not really surprising considering the Mario games themselves have the barest of plots ("Bowser kidnapped the princess again!"), but still, the fact that Bob is willing to give such a barebones movie a glowing review while denigrating the Sonic movies that actually function more like movies goes to show he can't let go of his fanboy tendencies (see also: every time he lets the MCU slide with another mediocre product while lambasting DC (at least until James Gunn got the reins)).

For all his pretensions of being an enlightened critic, Bob really is just like the chuds he mocks. Worse, even, in that he won't admit it about himself.

Last I heard, eggs were expensive in USA because of bird flu. Drumpf can't fix that overnight.

This is the shit that makes me suspicious about why "price of eggs" was pushed as the lefty meme for what right wingers want from Trump. I've never heard anybody but them say it. The real right wingers are worried about the price of EVERYTHING and want a long-term solution to it, not a short term bandaid. These are things you can't get without major changes.

"Kitchen table stuff" was not among the reasons I gave Trump my ballot this past November. Yeah, it would've be nice if Trump's first-day (or, more accurately, his 1,462nd-day) executive actions helped lessen food prices. And as much as Trump bloviated on the campaign trail abotu policies that would alleviate food costs, he's not oblivious to the fact that food prices will continue to rise before there's any chance of them coming down.

I'm confused again. Why "sticking to kitchen table stuff" when people are supposedly more alarmed by the president saying 'I am the state'?

I think the thing that happened the last decade? Was the last decade.

I don't think there was any epic betrayal or hushed-up scandal , he just woke up one day, and realized that, Holy Cow, 2015 was ten years ago, and for all those hours and hours he's spent online? Being so smart and right and just?

He's still where he was 10 years ago. If not backsliding. He has to know that he has less clout by any metric today than he did in 2015.

He's slowly realizing his life has been, by even the most positive metrics, a waste and that he's closer to the end now than he was before, with no way to stop it.

Nothing turns a firebrand into an ennui like seeing those first grey hairs, feeling that first ache waking up that doesn't go away, or realizing 30 years ago will soon be 2000, not 1994.

The biggest deflater of ego are things you can't change, and that feeling of encroaching mortality you get as you age is one of the biggest.

Absolutely he's backsliding. Ten years ago he was doing pretty well, and if he'd treated his youtube channel like his actual career instead of a side project while he tried to get with another site, he would have been more than fine. He was still respected by many people in the industry and he had a decent fan base. And then he chased it all away. The other part is as you said, he's older. When he was younger, he was still bitter and vicious, but he also had the future to look forward to. A future in which he was going to be a wealthy film critic and film maker.

He's admitted multiple times he wants to quit and move onto something else, weeks ago he did that post about thinking about throwing in the towel when he found a dollar on the sidewalk. Maybe he should try losing his foot to diabetes, if he hasn't already. Being on disability would probably be his dream.

Resentment is raw emotion: it has neither discipline nor goals. (Just ask yourself: what is the "goal" of happiness? What is the "goal" of being sad?) You can, if you absolutely must, make it your goal to cultivate more and more resentment, but all that resentment would lead you up is an early grave.

Roughly 12.5 million people over the age of 120 collecting social security? Is there even one person in the US over 120?

Taking the average social security payout at $22,322 per annum, that’s over $277 billion in fraudulent social security payouts per year.

Bob believes that the social security program is part of the good guys, since the bad guys don't like them. Therefor, they are always correct, and the only time they do wrong is when the bad guys infiltrate them, which they only do to hurt people, of course.

And then for Bob to deny that it's "Genocide", because after all it's a war, the MAGA CHUDs are going to do the actual genociding apparently, so killing them off FIRST isn't ackshually "genocide" (also because you can kill all whiteys and it's still not defined as genocide according to the Left) because it's a war. You are allowed to kill your enemy in war, after all.

Yet, idiots like Bob and his ilk don't realize that the MAGAnaiseghoulen are far more prepared for a hot war than the activists are. That's why Bob thinks you can just send some missile-packed drones over to Russia or The Oxygenless Wastelands and get the job done without losing any lefties, but without considering that the CHUDs would shoot down the drones first.

i wonder if there's a Farmer on here who knows COBOL backwards and forwards so that they would be able to tell us if the excuse the (D)s gave us about the 150 year old Social Security payouts just being a programming artifact which people who don't know COBOL misunderstood what they read, is accurate or just a stupid excuse that isn't actually true.
