The "stuck in traffic" bit is new; Bobby must had a heart-to-heart with Arkle.

I recall that Bob did in fact after the fact, when "explaining the joke" and what it was about, claimed that it was a "joke" because he was making it while stuck in traffic, as if the joke was "eugenics, which was ruined by the Natzees, will solve my traffic jam problem", which isn't funny and also makes zero fucking sense. I forget when, but it was in the old thread screenshotted, I believe. Even though the initial tweet mentioned fucking NOTHING about Bob being stuck in traffic when he tweeted it. Arkle is probably remembering that subsequent exchange.

Bobby in effect admitted that Joe Biden committed election fraud.

Bob; We Outnumber the MAGAnaiseghoulen!
Also Bob: WAY MORE than half of Americans are irredeemable evil not-a-Persons!
Pick ONE, and ONLY one, Bob.

Bob's repetitive and mindless chanting of "NOT A PERSON!" at anyone who disagrees with him is a great microcosm of what's wrong with public discourse. It's ironic he thinks he's a great thinker when he's falling into the most bog-standard anti-intellectual trap imaginable: tribalism.

"Good vs Evil isn't tribalism!" - Moviebob, probably

Rowling must have a sweetheart deal for HP. I assume that she has final say over everything that will happen. Which no doubt pisses the troons off royally. I still don't care about HP though.

If Twitter has no assets in Germany, then the German government, has to go through the American court system to collect. Now, despite the current regime's hatred of Musk they will never allow this. Nobody wants to open American companies to getting extorted by foreign governments, over random bullshit. Do you think Google wants to be sued by every failing regime for whatever reason they can think of? No, they do not.

Germany knows full well, they cannot collect, or at least it will be a nightmare to do so. That's why they went through with it. What will most likely happen is that Twitter will just stop working in the land of the Fourth Reich.

Bob of course is referring to the "Diplomatic Impunity" errr I mean Diplomatic Immunity that was a major plot point in Lethal Weapon 2. But this isn't even remotely a case resembling Diplomatic Immunity. Bob is a crayon eating blue curtain analyst.

"A faithful adaptation" means Rowling still has everyone curled around her fingers. Transphobia is the way of the world; 41% mad.

New Harry Potter project will contain TTD. Sirona Ryan from Hogwarts Legacy will appear just to be murdered in the opening seconds of the show.

Bobby will not expect the project to pull through.

Of course the project will pull through Blobby. It's Harry Potter, it's a billion dollar franchise. Just because you don't personally like it doesn't mean it won't exist.

Preventing children trooning out and getting molested is getting our lives better.

Trannies (and Blobby) equate not molesti- err I mean -- equate not "being allowed to help children explore their identity and express themselves freely" to genocide. Because they're all either terminally online weirdos or because they're high off HRTS and can no longer think clearly.

WTF does that mean?

That's the photo of the announcement of the "Dark Universe" Cinematic Universe. Or whatever the fuck they were calling it. That's when Universal, well and everyone else was scrambling to put out their own MCU. But Universal was gonna use their classic monster movie shit. Which got us that Tom Cruise Mummy movie. And one of those Dracula movies? I think a Frankenstein? It fell apart pretty quick.

What Bob is going for here is that this was famously one of the biggest failures in that shared universe film things, and it's a fairly notorious photo, because as you might have noticed, this is a picture of celebrities, and nothing do with fucking monster movies. But yeah, he's trying to be snide about the idea of this Harry Potter show idea making it off the ground.

Which is really funny, because first off those Harry Potter movies are the first success story in long form story telling in movies. Trilogies are one thing, and even most of those get bogged down and limp to the finish line, having just barely been made. But 8 movies? All using mostly the same cast? In a relatively decent time line? If any property can do it, it's Harry Potter. And frankly, you know why? Because Rowling keeps a strong hand on her stuff. And this isn't idle speculation, it's cold hard guessing. But with evidence! You know what other property also had a strong stern hand controlling its shit? That had very good movies come out? Well-regarded for decades and decades of adaptations? Fucking Lord of the Rings. And when his son died, well him being like 90 is why the Hobbit sucked ass I feel, but look at how LotR looks past Christoper's death? His body was barely cold and we were getting shit out of Middle Earth.

So, now you know what he was implying, and you should get ready for him to eat crow this next few years. You know, more than he already does. Which is why I like to think he's so fucking fat

I fucking love how Bob is equating this new Harry Potter show to the DCEU or the Dark Universe, which were shared movie universes that fell apart. But that's not what this is.

Yeah like the Harry Potter show could bomb given it’s just rehashing the same exact story told on the big screen. But to compare it to failed cinematic universes really shows how Bob just loves to compare unrelated things to each other just to put them all in the same basket.

 

[King Dead]

Yeah like the Harry Potter show could bomb given it’s just rehashing the same exact story told on the big screen. But to compare it to failed cinematic universes really shows how Bob just loves to compare unrelated things to each other just to put them all in the same basket.

Putting on my pop culture commentator hat (solely so I can prove I can do a better job than Blobbo without trying), I can see some potential issues with this Harry Potter TV show, none of which have anything to do with how J.K. Rowling wants to personally murder every tranny on the planet (based if true).

The biggest issue that comes to mind is pacing. While a TV show can give a novel adaptation enough time to truly breathe and explore more of its events and concepts than a movie can, you need enough material to justify it. For example, the first few seasons of Game of Thrones more or less correspond to the first five books that GRRM wrote, and each one of those is anywhere from 700 to over 1000 pages long. Ten episodes per season comes out to about 70-100 pages of material per episode. By contrast, only the fifth HP book gets into that range, others come up around 600 pages, and the first three in particular average 250 pages apiece. That's a lot less to adapt, especially considering it's a series of children's books and not adult fantasy novels, meaning much fewer words. Either they'd need to do fewer episodes for the earlier novels, or they'd have to stretch those out to fill a full season each.

Another issue is the amount of shit you'd have to wrangle for the entire production. Assuming you want to do the same thing as the HP movies, keeping the same cast throughout, you're going to have your work cut out for you finding all sorts of child actors, especially when it comes to the main trio. And there's the headaches involved with all that, making sure they're keeping up with their studies, any sort of child labor regulations you have to abide by. And then you've got location scouting, set and prop building, rights finagling...it's a lot of effort, especially considering you're pretty much committed for the long haul. HBO could have canceled GoT after the first season if the ratings weren't great, but ending your HP series after, say, book 4? Kind of embarrassing.

And finally, there's the big question of why? The last HP movie is barely over a decade old, a whole generation of kids grew up watching them, and they're showing them to their children now. The series was a cinematic event that defined the 00's. They're not perfect adaptations, but they're damn good ones, and it'd be pretty hard to top them. Do we really need to see the exact same stories a second time, but longer? Will this new series supplant the movies in the public's consciousness? What's the point? (Money, I know, but I'm talking about from an artistic point of view.)

Despite these drawbacks, I hope that the series is good and successful solely because of how much J.K. Rowling makes trannies and their orbiters seethe just by her sheer existence. I feared I was channeling Bobby there for a second with how he wants that fucking kiwi to ruin Akira just to make anime fans mad, but I think I'm okay in that I want a good product to make obnoxious faggots mad (and it's not even HP doing it, it's JK), while Bob wants a bad one.

Bob by your logic, does that mean you don't exist because you're constantly online? A anime avatar is just easy and fun and preserves anonymity, something I doubt you care about but should.

Twitter has no assets in Germany, then the German government, has to go through the American court system to collect. Now, despite the current regime's hatred of Musk they will never allow this.

That's the thing none of them including Blob get, Twitter is just gonna get shut off in Germany, because it has no real power over a AMERICAN company. We don't live in the one world order just yet

WTF does that mean?

Not a lot of people remember that Universal was trying for their own cinematic universe built around it's classic monster series called The Dark Universe iirc. Everyone in that picture was supposed to have a lead role as either one of the monsters or a hunter of the monster. The 2017 movie The Mummy was supposed to be this cinematic universe's Ironman

It bombed and Universal quietly shelved the entire project which I think is good and bad. I would've loved to seen an updated version of something like Creature from the Black Lagoon but it would've probably either gotten the respect and care of a Bluhm House movie or just given the MCU treatment.

Bob is proudly declaring that the Harry Potter TV show is going to be dead on arrival by using a publicity image of something literally no one asked for and never made it off the ground. What Bob is doing is actually worse than people declaring that a live action Akira directed by Titty Wakawaka by posting screen shots of the netflix Death Note movie. At least with the Akira example there's a parallel. Here there is none. It's only something that appeals to brain dead autists


And speaking of Akira!

Advice From a Fanboy: Akira​

By BOB CHIPMAN November 4, 20110

I’m not 100% convinced that the anime film Akira deserves to be as sacrosanct as it’s often treated (note: Yes, I’m aware that the manga is different. No, I have not read it yet. No, you will not be the first person ever to tell me that I simply haaaaaaaaaaaaave to.) It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but looking back it feels more and more like its Western fame comes more from being a lot of people’s first “real” anime experience (“Holy crap! The cartoons are killin’ each other!”) than from its actual merits as a perfectly serviceable cyberpunk action flick.
Nevertheless, it’s popular and well-known enough to be a brand, so the perpetual threat of a live-action American remake has again reared its head, yielding the predictable result of anime fans crying “Sacrilege!” and everyone else crying “What the hell is Akira?”
I’m not terribly keen on the idea myself, for reasons I’ll outline momentarily, but I’m also a staunch proponent of the idea that you can make a good movie out of anything and that “anything” includes other movies. Thinking on the matter, I can imagine a few scenarios whereby this could be a good (even great) idea, although none of them are scenarios that I see as particularly likely to actually occur (particularly since this is happening under Warner Bros., where genre movies not featuring Batman or Harry Potter go to die).
But on the way, way off chance that someone with the means to change that happens to be reading; here’s some ideas that might make an Akira remake worth watching.

Don’t Call It Akira​

A lot more classic movies than people realize are remakes/adaptations of previous material – including other films – but with different titles. At one point, “remake” (along with “sequel”) was kind of a dirty word. The poster child for this, in the West, is the classic western The Magnificent Seven, which is a remake of the Japanese classic, The Seven Samurai. Calling a remake of Akira something else (“based on Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo”) would probably defuse a certain amount of fandom grumbling right off the bat, and it’d also be the proper thing to do thematically.
See, while the name “Akira” sounds kind of unusual and exotic to American ears, it’s really a very common Japanese name. This is one of the nuances that’s somewhat lost on Western audiences – the banality of the name versus the deified tones with which it’s spoken. All these characters talking about “some guy” as though he were Christ, Mohammed, The Buddha, etc. is meant to be jarring. Since the remake is not looking to be set in Japan nor feature a primarily Japanese cast, it would only make sense to give “this” Akira an equally common Western name, such as “Adam”.
Also, let’s be real about this. As well-known as Akira might be among anime fans and genre screenwriters, in general, most of the audience has never heard of it and those that have don’t want to see a remake with Hollywood actors awkwardly calling eachother “Tetsuo” and “Kaneda” and are probably plugged in enough to know what the film is based on without the title having to tell them. The major themes and story of Akira are universal – might as well let that be an asset.
And speaking of universal themes …

Whitewash? No. “Brownwash”? Hmmm …​

Let’s not mince words. A huge part of the reason that “Americanized remake” carries such a negative connotation is the fact that American culture has been a dominant force in the world for a long time and thus said remakes carry the unwitting stigma of homogenization or, at worst, colonialism. This is made all the more extreme and uncomfortable in terms of symbolism when the characters are changed from their native ethnicity to caucasian Americans.
So maybe don’t do that?
A moment ago I called Akira‘s story universal, and I didn’t just mean in the sense that urban cyberpunk is a global genre. The specifics of the story – government experiments, telekinetic children, urban neo-religious cults – are ultimately decorations laid over a much more broad-reaching narrative of inner-city children victimized by The System that drives many of them into criminality-as-survivalism via the “family” of gang life (Kaneda) or drags them deeper into the belly of the beast (Tetsuo and the other “special” children). That’s not just Akira’s story, or even just a story of Japan’s urban-poor – it’s also a story playing out hundreds of thousands of times every single day in inner cities all over the world, including America.

What it isn’t – at least to a large degree in the United States – is a predominantly white story.
For myriad reasons far too complex to get into here, the cold hard truth of the matter is that in the U.S. – where this remake is aiming to be set – the real-life kids whose stories mirror those of Akira‘s main characters are quite a bit more likely to be Black or Latino than they are to be anything else. This is depressing as hell and a shameful indictment of everything from ingrained systemic racism to societal failures in real life, but it does offer a way that an American Akira could be more than just another cash-grab remake – a way that it could actually say something substantial and meaningful about American culture the way the original Akira did for Japanese culture. Which is, after all, what good science-fiction is supposed to do.
Also, to be frank, non-white characters are shamefully underrepresented in the American sci-fi genre, and this would be as good a place as any to start correcting that. Kaneda as yet another angry white kid straddling his bike in the 1,000,000,000nth dated riff on the James Dean rebel schtick? Boring, dull, done to death. But Tetsuo and Kaneda as minority youths? Conflicts with The System of their dystopian future serving as a mirror for the way The System uses and abuses racial/cultural minorities (in America, sadly, almost every class issue is also a race issue on some level) today? That would be a movie worth making.

Don’t O.D. on Iconography​

If you’re noticing a consistent theme here, it’s that unless the (re)makers of Akira are going to commit to faithfully transporting the manga/anime to live action as closely as possible, they should probably do their own thing. For example, whoever gets cast as Kaneda (or whatever he’ll be called,) the temptation is going to be to get him into the red leather capsule-logo jacket and onto a live-action facsimile of his big chunky motorcycle for a fan-reassuring teaser poster at ComiCon.
Don’t do that.
If you’re not going to recreate the entire visually-cohesive world of the original (which would be incredibly expensive), only recreating one or two distinct elements is just going to make them stick out more and look silly. The sort of fans who’d otherwise get really, really psyched to see an actor in expensively-fabricated Akira cosplay are already pissed at you for making this movie to begin with; some actor awkwardly running around what otherwise looks like any other Blade Runner knockoff in a bright red jacket is not going to mollify them and will only make everyone else wonder why a wanted fugitive is making himself so easy to find.

Go for an “R”​

Akira is an R-rated story – brutal police crackdowns, mass destruction, body horror and violence against children all feature prominently. Toning it down would miss the point, and would only be attempted to try and reach a broader audience that doesn’t exist.
By and large, the PG-13 attending general public has no clue what Akira is, does not care about this remake, and probably won’t show up no matter how safe you make it. Might as well double down, go for the “R,” keep the budget reasonable and make it good enough that the semi-niche audiences who do seek out this kind of film get the word out and earn back your money that way.

Just Don’t Do It​

This is all academic, really. The reason you’re making this is because it looks bad to have paid whatever you paid for the rights a decade ago without ever making the movie, not because anyone thinks it’s going to turn out well. You’re gonna piss away close to $100 million making a movie that’s all but destined to open in third place on an off weekend before it makes a quick trip to the dollar DVD bin and a hundred YouTube mashups about bad American remakes. There’s got to be other stuff you’d rather spend your money on, right?
Bob Chipman is a film critic and independent filmmaker. If you’ve heard of him before, you have officially been spending way too much time on the internet.

The first take away I have from this is that Bob calls himself a "fanboy" and yet the very first sentence has him saying, I'm paraphrasing here, "Yeah it's good but is it really that good?" He ends his sophomoric thesis by saying "Just Don't Do It" because even he sees it as a poorly thought out cash grab.

His mentions of Akira on twitter aren't that much, compared to the sheer volume of tweets he has.

The common idea that Bob has with all of these is that Akira shouldn't be remade but if it is remade then is should be renamed and be made with blacks. Here Bob drops his mask and gives the reason that he wants blacks as the lead. It would piss people off.

The common idea that Bob has with all of these is that Akira shouldn't be remade but if it is remade then is should be renamed and be made with blacks. Here Bob drops his mask and gives the reason that he wants blacks as the lead. It would piss people off. GITS stands for Ghost in the Shell which was infamously had an American remake with Scarlet Johannsen as Motoko Kusanagi. Scar Jo is not asian so there were cries of white washing. Bob's thoughts on the matter.

Great research! So basically take the Japan out of a Japanese story. I'm sure that'll go great, and all because you want people to be mad. What if we made every black character in Marvel not just white but full Aryan Bob? That'd be unacceptable, right? But that's not the point, he just wants Japan to fail because of WW2 and those mean anime avatars. Only the Rat can get Oscar's and awards!

WTF does that mean?

Ah another one of Bob's "lost level" jokes.

The picture is an early promotional feature for the "dark universe" they were going to do. For those who forgot, it was going to be a cinematic universe of universal monsters.

It pretty much flopped after like 2-3 film efforts.

Bob here is, I believe, attempting to make the joke that Harry Potter the series is going to happen just like the "dark universe" happened. (that is, fail out of the gate)

EDIT:


OMG. Bob actually realized his jokes weren't landing, so he even explains it - AND STILL GETS THE PUNCHLINE WRONG! Bob it's RIGHT THERE in the screenshot YOU POSTED! How did you get the words wrong???

Bob thinks he almost flunked out of high school because the world was out to get him and didn't recognize his genius.

Bob almost flunked out of high school because he is a barely literate moron. Common among lolcows. SAD!
