I bet Trump's villa is much more secure than Hillary Rodham's e-mail server.

Is this the official story for the Raid? That he had the nuclear codes that he wanted to sell? Shit, the press can't spin it when even Bobby here doesn't believe he had nuclear codes. If journos had any legitimacy left, Bob would be tweeting nonstop about how he is a danger to our democracy. I guess it's a Monkey's Paw wish - I did want journalists to go the way of the dinosaur but I still wanted the dummies to fall for the propaganda.

This is more a general question to the thread: @Positron has reported on more than one Twitter mobbings in the past few weeks but doesn't it feel like they are of poor quality? I don't mean the reporting (God knows I can't stand to look at Bob's twitter for longer than 5 minutes), I mean the actual mobbings. There's no payoff.

Take for example when the DC fanboys are calling Bob dumb this week. This is not the abortion issue, not a political issue, not a cultural issue. It's like me saying that custard tastes like shit unironically and then other people calling me a dumb faggot (P.S. I do like custard but it's a bitch to make). It's not as much a dunk because the people who get pissed about the DCEU are on Bobby's level.

Millius shat on him, Hbomber guy dunked on him, Gleenwald called him out. Hell, during the Floyd riots some negro called Bob a white honky and he had to close his twitter for the weekend. After some time, it's like all people of a certain clout and category simply ignore him. Mr Metokur was the first, calling Bob for what he is and calling the shot that it was not even worth the effort to nail him to a cross.

Since Bob opens his mouth about everything some normies started calling him out (B listers, C listers, Z-listers) and after a while even they just gave up. He's too dense, too stupid and too twitter addicted to be bothered with.

Finally this leaves us with the position we're in right now. People who engage Bob are the type of people who consider Bob worth engaging with. Either through praise or by calling him out. As much as I want to see Moviebob bullycided, the average twitter shitposter knows it's just too much effort and no one really cares because he has nothing to lose (which is why he can do blackface and no one will care).

....unless he says that Norm McDonald isn't funny.

"I don't know what a parasite is! I don't give a shit about what Parasite is! It won best foreign film, FINE. You know why? Because it's a goddamn foreign film!"

(Is that guy doing a BIT? Is he a parody of some movie reviewer instead of a serious one? Asking for a friend)

No, that is for real.

Kinda sad really, this is what happens when you dig yourself too deep into this internet culture bullshit, because regardless of which side of the spectrum you land, if you go too far off you are bound to embarrass yourself like this guy (His name is Robert Storms) did.

All Storms did was to take the accepted position on his "side", that the Joker movie is a good flick being treated unfarily by the mainstream media in general, and thus when it lost to a korean flick, he took it further than his peers in the "anti-woke" environment and ran his mouth on a crazy fashion without a hint of self awareness.

Shit went viral, the guy was obviously embarrassed and being tar and feathered, he took the video down, but he brought it back again because it was his most watched content and he wanted attention. I think he took it down again.

It is a pretty good lesson really, don't devote and subscribe wholeheartedly to any of this internet bullshit, not to be cynical or detached, but to not lose perspective and eventually end up like Storms here, who will be forever known as the "The Oscars go full woke" guy.

But hey, it could be worse, you could be the guy accusing a studio executive to be a "borderline" facist just because he shelved a couple of shitty superhero movies and most likely doesn't even know who was involved with the production isn first place, he just looked at the numbers and public reception and cut the costs, that would be also be pretty embarrassing.

When I think of Robert Storms, I think of this:

Also notably, Fresh video proof of Bob's dehumanization rhetoric. Get it while it's hot.
Your browser is not able to display this video.

I would've never thought it possible but after watching Bob lazily read off one of his twitter screeds I now miss Bob's abrasive, fast and hard cuts...

 

[ChampFantana]

"They don't know anything about...well, anything, these are some of the stupidest fucking people I've ever encountered."
Bob's complete and utter lack of self-awareness is always a sight to behold.

I don't care how many times it happens, watching someone stupid enough to be classified as a Lower Primate slobbering about the IQ of his betters will NEVER stop being hilarious.

 

[Red Hood]

Same though I liked some of DC's modern films and was surprised at the Snydercut being enjoyable to me. Honestly I don't even think that crazy to hope Batgirl somehow makes its way to the public especially considering it's a completed film and it should be preserved like everything else. Where Bob's a lolcow is because he's cartoonishly bent out of shape because he's horny for a woman in her 20s and the only other reason is to stick it to who he hates.

On a related note, Bob's desires for DC on film are bizarre as fuck if you ever actually try to connect the dots. He either wants them MCU-ified or literally part of the MCU depending if he feels like advocating for a monopoly that day....except for Batman who should either be Adam West inspired, making him the jokiest of the them all in this hypothetical, or shunned to a separate TV only continuity with Barbara Gordon replacing him. Superman should also be replaced by Supergirl depending if he's more horny or angry at Henry Cavill at a given moment. There's also the DC pitch videos he did where he had brilliant ideas like basing Wonder Woman movies entirely around her fighting women from other character's rogues galleries instead of using characters from Wonder Woman. My friends had a fun time making fun of those.

What exactly does Bob have against Henry Cavill, anyway? Yeah MoS and BvS were bad movies but that's not something to hold personally against the actor, whose job is to show up and say the lines and collect a paycheck.

That's about it. That shallow reasoning is why Bob also claims he's a nobody that no one even knows and has zero acting talent. The fact Cavill's been THE official casting choice for potential live action Superman projects since the early-mid 2000s with Singer's Superman Returns being the exception or even people who hate the Snyder movies generally blaming the material he was given is alien to Bob. It's one of the many big signs that he doesn't interact with other people or has any familiarity with what he's on about.

 

[dzonatan]

In hindsight, his "VIDEO GAMES COME FROM JAPAN" comment in one of those videos should've set alarm bells ringing as to how ignorant about the industry he actually is.

To be fair he wasn't wrong at the time.
Look at all the best seller rankings.

PSX era. Japan from top to bottom.
PS2 era. Japan from top to bottom.
Who turbo fucked PS3 and Xbox into submission? Wii, a Japanese product.
What is the most common aesthetic choice of style in MMOs? Japanese adoption of western medieval fantasy.
Hell, lets go with mobile market where Candy crush rules. You have Genshin Impact and Kancolle. All japanese anime inspired products.

Actual video games still do come from Japan in one form or another.
Western products are just designed to squeeze money out of consumers.

Pretty simple.
Cavil love playing games on PC.
In bobs eye, that makes him a chud.
Also, Cavil is good looking and play warhammer 40k.
Something Bob will never do or be.

I dunno man, I can't get the image of the Magnavox Odyssey or other Western vidya products out of my mind. Just look at DOOM, for example. Our side of the pond does have a LOT of corruption going on in it, but video games being strictly from Japan is a weeb's image of pop culture. The industry is so much more than that.

Then I guess I was a weeb as a teenager with my PSX before I learned what that term means.
Even Metal Gear Solid, Something that should've been an american product was made by a japanese man.
Sometimes Japan does USA better than USA does USA.

you realize that Asian games are way more heavily monetized than western games, and have been for decades, right?
Korean MMOs are the most harshly monetized games in the world, partly because in Korea pay to win is considered culturally acceptable.
Genshin, a Chinese game, is literally a slot machine with some of the most predatory payment systems in gaming. And that’s not even getting into Japanese mobile game like fate grand order or kantai collection.

Plenty of Western games have micro transactions, but very few are at Asia’s level.

I also think you’re under selling just how much Japan borrows from western fame development. Final Fantasy XIV’s entire death and rebirth was a result of them arrogantly believing they didn’t need to learn from anyone else, before deciding to look at WoW to see what did and did not work. We still get cutting edge and innovative Japanese games, but they’re not as common as before.

Also, Metal Gear is quite possibly the most Japanese game out there. It was made by a mega westaboo, but nothing about that could have been an American product

Why do him and Jim only ever show themselves on camera while wearing sunglasses? Are they trying to look cool? Hide the fact they're reading off a teleprompter? Are their normal sized human eyes tiny pinpricks when compared to the rest of their rotund faces, thus making them look even more like pigs?

Sunglasses are slimming.

 

[A Very Big Fish]

He was jealous of Cavill's sick 'tache in Mission Impossible: Fallout.


Also, when he was cast as Geralt of Rivia, Cavill actually went to bat for the fans of the Witcher that were criticizing the Netflix show, saying that it was because they were passionate, not that they were all toxic.

Doing "philosophy" for money was the jobs of Ancient Greek's sophists, a profession not much younger than prostitution

The overwhelming majority of "philosophers" are nothing but self help quacks selling feel good stories to retards and indigents.

 

[Koby_Fish]

I’ve been much too mentally taxed this year to look at Bob, so this is my return to him in a long time…

Is his entire argument really that DC movies will be worse solely because the CEO in charge of the company is from outside the film industry?

This is a moment where I need to power level. I attended a panel with a lot of the people in charge of running adult swim and HBO Max shows. You know what they all said when asked “what do you watch?”
90 Day Fiancé. Literally all of Hollywood was watching that show. I would argue this guy, through this shows, knows exactly what even “sophisticated” audiences wants and doesn’t go out of his way to attack each other. If anything, I trust him more than I’d trust anyone at Disney or paramount right now. That’s not a lot of trust mind you, but it’s slightly more trust.

But you know, seeing Bob bitch about reality tv like it’s The Jersey Shore circa 2009 is hilarious to me. Bob has somehow managed to make himself even more of a dinosaur than when he published his book. This man is still mentally stuck in 2013 since that was the height of his career.

this reminds me of the MAD Magazine parody "Bats-Man" (1960s batman show). "Gray Dickson"/"Sparrow" bemoans what the show entails, and keeps trying to get rid of Bats-Man because being "Sparrow" is cramping his love life, having to ditch dates to 'hang out with Bats-Man'. At the end, as "Sparrow" is revealed as "The Villain", Bats-Man seems surprised, and tells "Sparrow" that basically, people will watch dreck (like that show), and not watch other shows that seem "smarter" because it's "Camp", pointed out a few shows of the era where "People wouldn't even turn on their sets!" for:

Bob obviously either never saw this parody, or if he did, he didn't understand it or thought it was a joke in and of itself.

Bob, for all his Thinkerness and alleged brains, is a crayon eating blue curtain analyzer who doesn't understand ANYTHING. This has got to be the stupidest motherfucker in media analysis. (also I yellowed in "(Kosher?) Bat Meat" cuz LOL)

IF GODDAMN MAD MAGAZINE AND FUCKING LOU SILVERSTONE ARE BIGBRAINED ENOUGH TO FIGURE IT OUT OVER 50 YEARS AGO, WHY THE FUCK CAN'T BOB?

Is this the official story for the Raid? That he had the nuclear codes that he wanted to sell? Shit, the press can't spin it when even Bobby here doesn't believe he had nuclear codes.

In general you're right but thing is I don't expect Asian market to do any better. The reason why articulate that more about West is because I expect the western game industry to do better than that, like they used to do. Also I think we're confusing MMOs with single players here. From the beggining I was talking about first play station consoles, hardly MMO hardware.

FFXIV was more of a "hey that guy did XI and it worked out, let's see if he can do it again".

Metal Gear should've been something some american dev should think off. Brooding veteran soldier facing off against a terrorist threat. Sounds pretty template american to me.

You say that, but you almost exclusively brought up online games. But let’s look at single player games the Japanese were in charge of.

Metal Gear Solid V: mobile style timers you had to pay to speed up and Development locked behind pay walls.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided: the ability to purchase skill tree points

Dead or Alive 5: thousands of dollars in DLC outfits

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD: fast travel locked behind purchasing a toy

Pokémon: several characters locked unless you buy a second, near identical game. The worst being the GBA era where you needed to Own a gamecube and two different full priced games and a expensive connector cable on top of owning 5 gba games just to get all the Pokémon.

Fire Emblem Fates: game is split into 3, one being dlc only, despite the collectors edition having all 3 on the same cartridge

Devil May Cry V: loads of DLC weapons and pay ti win crystals to upgrade faster

The list goes on and on. The Asian market was monetizing this way back when we were all laughing at Horse armor in oblivion. And usually with more intense examples.


How does Metal Gear sound American? Wscape from New York knock goes in for a secret mission involving various missies, giant robots, ninjas, and scientists pissing themselves all as one big anti-nuke piece.
That’s extremely anime and Japanese. America does not own the concept of the military, and the US is a common figure for stories world wide.
Look at Jules Vern’s From the Earth to the Moon. It’s about a group called The Baltimore Gun Club building a giant canon that shoots them inside a large bullet to the moon. It was written to show appreciation for the American spirit, but it was by a French author who had never even been to America.
Then go have the name itself. “It’s the link between artillery and infantry, a metal gear if you will.” a name and explanation so dumb, you just know a Japanese man thought of it.(I do love the metal gear games, but it is far from perfect)

Also, if you think ultima didn’t inspire all the medieval fantasy games in Japan, you’re insane. The team behind the first dragon quest even claimed it was what inspired them most

Stop being a weeb

As the resident Doom engine nerd and Commodore 64 geek I too have a Western-biased image of teh vidya.

this reminds me of the MAD Magazine parody "Bats-Man" (1960s batman show).

Oh hell, I was thinking of this exact same thing. That description of camp has stayed with me for years. One complaint though:

"Sparrow" is revealed as "The Villain",

You didn't tell them his villain name! "El Capon"!

oh sorry, I didn't wanna copypasta the whole thing, just enough to get across the main points of the tail end of the parody. But yeah, 'El Capon' (cuz a Capon is a term for a neutered rooster which is basically the steers of chickens), lol.

I sure would love to know just how much MAD magazine Bob's conSOOMed. But it's clear Bob's too stupid to 'get' the humor properly.
