not just because of his ability to change his conscience according to what was most politically convenient

This is worth highlighting. Bob enjoying inflicting pain on his enemies (real or imagined) isn't all that surprising. It's the garden variety fantasy sadism of a total loser who blames everyone else for his failures. The mental contortions he willingly and openly makes to arrive at his favored conclusions are more startling. I'll never forget the moment that turned me into a Bob-hater for life: when someone had the gall to ask what, exactly, the difference was between Anita Sarkeesian and Jack Thompson, and he responded by staring at the camera as if he was dealing with a complete moron, then went on to say one was a right wing lunatic and the other one had wonderful feminist motives.

The question was about the censorship itself, and he knew that. "No bad tactics, only bad targets" is something he genuinely believes, and is too lacking in self-awareness to understand how sinister it is.

What that maxim boils down to is that it's okay to commit genocide so long as you genocide the right target. Knowing Bob, that explains a lot of his remarks about mayo ghouls.
 
Try the entire genre of film noir.

I remember watching the colorized version of the Alistair Sim Christmas Carol one year with my dad. That's already a bad idea, as that version is largely shot as a dark, moody ghost story, but we reached one scene where my dad snarled at the screen: "Look! His pajamas, blankets, and curtains are all the exact same shade of green!" That was the end of colorized movies ever being entertained in my house.

Colorization was a debacle. John Huston testified in front of Congress and called the people who did it child molesters. He wasn't far off.
There is 1 good colorization effort.

what I liked best about Khan is that he was supposedly Indian, had a Persian forename more typically used as a surname, a Korean middle name, a Punjabi surname, and he was played by a Mexican
it was like having a European character called König László O'Shaughnessy, and having him played by a Maori
I know there were a set of eugenics war books which tried to "fix" the old lore (making the war more underground than an outright traditional war). SFDebris has been doing an audio book of it for patreon which I haven't even bothered to listen to. However I wonder if the author took the above and decided to run with it as all those touches being clues as to the genetic cocktail that they had to blend to make Khan. I could totally see trek nerds doing that.

Bob is Harry Mudd without the charm: a minor pest reliant on robots for sex.
Disagree. Harry Mudd at least had a wife.
She's hotter than anything Bob will ever touch.

He says right there in the afterword that he's writing a Christian tract. Read the afterword. GLIMPSE at the afterword.
FYI: The author is a she and is Scandinavian.

Here! Let's do a screencap of that.

BTW, I found this. How do we do the archiving on here? This seems almost OP worthy. (Seems to be a compilation of his "saga")
 
He is dying slowly. And even if you pitch him against someone of comparable physical state, Bobby's slow deterioration will be more painful to him than the other guy's degeneration to that guy himself, simply because Bobby holds on to some sci-fi myth of immortality, and bears the grudge that it is everyone else's fault that he must die.

Le Cordon Bleu avec Chris. Remember the Mooby gimmick that had him squeaking and bouncing?

Fucking Christ why would anyone be excited for a shitty overpriced event branded on a fictional fast food chain from a forgettable hipster comedy from the early 2000's?
I really don't understand the devotion people have for Kevin Smith. What the fuck does that talentless do to make all the consoomers want to slob his knob so much?

Movies like Mall Rats, Clerks 1-2, Dogma, and some of the Jay&Silent Bob movies. Combined with the guy actually being a good blog writer, stand-ups/talks, and a few podcasts, finishing off with him knowing his "geek shit". But, all this stuff I mention is from his old days, now the mofo is pretty much a walking shill, a hack movie director (seriously the dude hasn't made a single good movie in a while) and desperately trying to cling to his Jay&Silent Bob "glory" days.

The tech has advanced enormously since the Ted Turner days. One other big difference is that this is a good approximation of what the reality was, while most b&w fiction was filmed with bizarre colors chosen specifically for how they looked on film. Any attempt to colorize such movies is largely speculative on what it was "supposed" to look like.

Man, I haven't watched TOS in so long I forgot Mudd had ever porked anything but his sexbots. I'd say Bob might be Cyrano Jones, but that guy was a decent salesman with a product everybody wanted.

Here! Let's do a screencap of that.

When I picture Bob, this is what I see, not the Mario image. Nicely done.

I'm a little too old to ever have been bowled over by the charm of Kevin Smith. I liked Clerks well enough, thought Mallrats was ok, hated Chasing Amy (mostly because Joey Lauren Adams is nails-on-chalkboard irritating and even when I was younger than the characters I just could not grok Ben Affleck getting that bent out of shape over shit that happened in high school), and found Dogma to be exactly the kind of idiot flick made by a half-assed Catholic who has barely examined his faith. My brother, on the other hand, was the perfect age for Smith, and worshipped these movies. There still exist images of him dressed as Silent Bob for Halloween. Over the years, he stopped caring about Smith and while he still enjoys the movies doesn't hold them up as anything special.

The difference? In the interim, he's gotten a wife, kids, and a rewarding career.

Arrested development. It's a helluva drug.

Right. Plus Peter Jackson - who opposed the colorization efforts - pointed out like you said that the original film makers made their films black and white intentionally. The old war footage he was using tech to "fix" was taken by people that you know would have fully intended to use color film had it existed.

Because it's not a story, it's history. It was real.

Yeah I've had that image pop in my mind when I read his tweets a lot too. It makes me want to slap him even harder.

We should have a new poll for the thread: What does Bob fear the most?
Self-awareness.

Here's a picture of the Addam's Family filming set:

I get an icky feeling looking at this, mostly because everything is some sickly shade of flesh tone. Trying to convert a black and white version of this back into color would require painstakingly painting every object with an original color, and why bother doing that when you can train people to respect the original vision of a film/episode director? The kind of people who would refuse to watch a 60 year old series/movie because it's black and white would probably refuse to watch a 60 year old series/movie because it's old, outdated and problematic. So why try to pander to them anyway?

I'm guessing Mooby's is a form of Chuck E. Cheese's for adults. It's logo and interior look cartoonish and underdesigned. No wonder the Chipman clan loves it. It should be a crime to put such expensive gin in what is essentially a saline IV bag with a straw.

I can understand why Kevin Smith was popular in the 90s, but he and his schtik were so interwoven with the times and so narrowly focused on a particular stage of a young man's life that his work was doomed to have a short shelf life. People cling to Kevin Smith today for the same reason Cinema Roberto still has fans - they want to cling to the comforts of their youth when they were as hip and as cool as they were ever going to be and they want to live in a world where what they like will always be loved and popular. They're essentially this guy, only more pathetic:

The original video was posted to Bob's channel on December 29, 2011 and I swear that's the same couch they were all sitting on in 2018.

Notice the booze for all of them? And I never noticed until now that Bob has removed the pull tab from his Labatt Blue. Interesting.

Funny enough, when I went to the compilation video the first suggested video was James Rolfe playing Mario Maker levels his little girl made.
