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

Because Batman is dependent on the help of Gotham citizens and never goes solo or insanely self-sufficient.

Also, bonus smugness points for feeling the need to explain the plot of one of the most famous movies ever made "for the younger set" as if High Noon wasn't made three decades before Bob's own birth.

When it comes to Bob's age, I'm not sure if it's funnier that he thinks himself to be older then fellow Millenials or his weird belief that he's "youth". Which is it, Bob?

As with so many things where Bob is a slippery hypocrite (a slippocrite, if you will), it varies depending on his rhetorical needs. He can be the Grumpy Old Man Who Knows Better when he wants to pull rank on millennials, or he can be The Young At Heart Hip And With It Dude when he wants to act like he's "reading the room" better than you, you mouth-breathing mayonnaise ghoul Un-Evolved.

It sure does, Bob.

It sure does.

Good lord, look at that neck fat lol

 

[LaughingJoke]

Good god he doesn't even understand a concept as simple as Batman. High Noon doesn't work on any level as a Batman story because one it starts of with the protagonist retiring to start a happy peaceful life a thing Batman wouldn't do and then Batman as for being disappointed no one would stand up for him yeah because Batman cares if people likes him. Seriously has he ever seen anything involving Batman? Batman doesn't care if the people he loves likes him.

How long until Bob becomes a troon? All the signs are there.

If there is one thing these 30 year old manbabies have in common is the refusal to let go of their childhood. Whether it be Bores, Doug Walker, Chris Chan, Bob Chipman, etc. They all remember the late 80s and 90s as if it were just yesterday. Back when all that mattered was a bowl of captain crunch, cartoons till 12, and some Nintendo in the afternoon to make your Saturday.

I think people like Bob Chipman are going to believe they're the "youth" for the rest of their lives. They're going to have to constantly contextualize why their days were better to younger folks and that younger kids need to get with it because without doing that, they will have to face the fact that they're grown adults in the 2010s that act like children still.

I'd love for someone to reply to that tweet and ask him if he's seen Batman Beyond for another "source material" rant.

You know, as much as Bob likes to slobber over THE CHINESE MARKET and MUH diversity, I can't help but notice that he doesn't review movies from China, or anywhere else, for that matter. There's one lone 1992 Jackie Chan movie review on his yt.

If one of his gimmicks is fellating Hollywood for pandering to China, shouldn't he watch some Chinese movies to get a feel for what they like?

Of whether it's a good idea to pander to them at all?

Maybe use his position to introduce people to quality international media they might not have otherwise heard about?

 

[LordofCringe7206]

More than anything it would require growing up and acting like an adult and probably ditching the reviewing thing for vocation training or at least a degree in something useful. If Bob were to change his ways and become a productive member of society free of irrational hatreds, I'd cheer him on. But I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Bob, even if he changed and wanted to, will never work a normal job again. The stupid shit he has said and gotten himself into over the years will be a massive black eye on him having a normal career.

 

[Slowboat to China]

Out of curiosity, have any of you guys told people you know IRL about or shown them Bob, and if so what were their reactions?

My best friend, who is a psychology student, came to the conclusion that Bob is probably a narcissist due to his high opinion of himself and inability to handle criticism.

I shared the joy of Bob with my brother, who was serving overseas at the time. Made him laugh out loud. Now every time he calls, he asks for updates on all our favorite lolcows, but Bob was the first one.

Also, wow. I checked out of this thread for a while and come back to discover that a new, even sadder Bob photo has emerged. Can a part-time Kiwi get a TL;DR on the blue shirt photo? Was he really at a wedding in freaking Aruba and spending all his time on his phone?

A while back, I put Bob on blast for not knowing about China's classic novels. Not that he would read then considering they have cannibalism (Water Margin), religion (Journey to the West), war (Romance of the Three Kingdoms), life experiences (Dream of the Red Chamber), humor (The Unofficial History of the Scholars), and 17th century Chinese erotica (The Plum in the Golden Vase). All six have had adaptations in different forms, so it shouldn't be hard for El Blobbostein to get in, except for The Plum in the Golden Vase, mainly because he would combust at the characters fucking. Also, I wholly recommend them all, along with The Tale of Genji (Japanese), Don Quixote (European Spanish), and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (French).

For someone so smart, he sure can't spell Closeau.

As far as aging goes it's far easier to hold onto your "youth" when you're not a morbidly obese monstrosity who guzzles multiple gallons of beer and sugar each week.

My father is 63 and he's healthier and better looking than Bob.

Close, it was Cancun. But yes, he really did spend his sister's wedding hunched over his phone.

 

[Mola Ram]

Was he really at a wedding in freaking Aruba and spending all his time on his phone?

Cancun, but otherwise, yep.

To be fair, I think that's the only picture that emerged that caught him glued to his phone, but it's so telling, and pretty much how we all imagine him.

It's also the only candid one where he isn't posing for the camera. I would bet good money that picture is a lot more reflective of his behavior there than any other.

I wish he would just so I can see this clip more often.

Show us where The Dark Knight touched you, Bob.

Aging white men who insist the world should rotate them? Man, I wonder where I can find one of those.....

He would definitely encounter some kind of irreconcilable culture shock, and melt down harder than a computer on Star Trek. Romance of the Three Kingdoms might disabuse him of all hippy-based notions of Asian pacifism.
