It's kind of dumb how people keep viewing weimar as the last days of Soddom or some sort of stillborn utopia when it's just a republic which failed to set roots because the economy tanked and the Prussians wanted a king.
I genuinly doubt Bob actually knows a great about the era except it's cinema was pretty good and as the warmup act for the reich.

Weimar was a golden age when it came to culture and the arts. This was due in part because of the chaotic social and political environment (helped by an influx of foreign money and pop culture.) . Many young people of the time said "Fuck it" and decided to party, as they didn't know what the future would bring them. It was a time for experimentation and the questioning of old norms. There were excesses, of course, leading many to suffer, but also an incredible blooming of creativity that was to effect the political and cultural landscape for many years to come.

In other words, it was a highly complex period of history that would take an entire college course to even crack the surface of, but to Bob, it was nothing more than the 1920's version of the Castro District, which died at the hands of Hitler the First, King of the White Devils.
 
Hell, I don't even think it's that complicated in this case. There's a "D" next to her name on the TV. That's why Bobby likes her. I'd be willing to bet he'd defend anything said by a Republican if someone on CNN made a typo and put a "D" next to their name instead of an "R".
Oh it’s so true, I made that comment yesterday when he was praising Sinema for winning in Arizona. She was Green Party then switched to the Democrats but she has supported Trump policies.

Blobb saw a tweet praising a D winning in Arizona and ran with it (because an idiot and naive about politics).

Why would a cultureless hack like Bob Chipman be interested in a period of history where culture blossomed due to the chaotic environment? Bob doesn't have a handle on movies, so why would he care about the culture then? Oh wait, because his Weimar fetish is on par with his modern day (I excluded ancient China for a damn good reason, because he could care less about tradition) China fetish. His fetishes wouldn't matter anyways since he always looks at foreign media with an American point of view, not even bothering looking through multiple views from multiple cultures (such as why Japan loves Le Comte de Monte-Cristo/The Count of Monte Cristo/Gankutsu-ou (the French, English, and Japanese titles, respectively).

I don't understand this aspect of his personality. Why not try to be an actual cultured critic with a true passion for the things you supposedly like? Why does he have to have these fetishes that make him look like some kind of hack cheerleader that's desperate to come off as cultured?

He tries to fake that, but he can only fool people impressed by the occasional big word.

Bob strikes me as running in two modes: either banal (Pixels is not a good film) or wrong (Resident Evil is a good film series). He's not intelligent enough, or knowledgeable enough, to actually produce useful criticism. Asking Bob to be a cultured critic is like asking a canary to fly faster than sound. It might want to, but it can't.

The 2 modes of Moviebob: Capitain obvious or Nuclear take man.

At this point, we should try to be movie critics, because if this fuckwit can be a mildly successful one, we are going to blow him out of the water.
 
I remember they did this too to Hillary Supporters and Bernie Supporters.
Whoops, they also did what @REGENDarySumanai wished too:

(have an actress say what Trump said, have an actor say what Clinton said)

Money quote:
Many were shocked to find that they couldn’t seem to find in Jonathan Gordon what they had admired in Hillary Clinton—or that Brenda King’s clever tactics seemed to shine in moments where they’d remembered Donald Trump flailing or lashing out. For those Clinton voters trying to make sense of the loss, it was by turns bewildering and instructive, raising as many questions about gender performance and effects of sexism as it answered.​

He has another fundamental problem: he always has to be the smartest guy in the room, and he can never be wrong. Which means he's constitutionally incapable of just sitting back, shutting up, and learning about something. You can't learn anything if you think you know everything.

Why am i not surprised these people have a shallow and skewed perception about people, deeply ingrained in ideology and not who they are?

And then they complain about the fucking NPC meme when they are basically an army of drones.
 
I honestly cant see any difference....
