Shirtless men have been in movies for eons, but when Marvel does that, it is "an expert embrace of the Female Gaze as an aesthetic hook", whatever that means.

How come no one declares Stallone and Schwarzenegger feminists?!

It's worth pointing out that one of the most famous incidents regarding shirtless men in movies was Clark Gable stripping off his shirt to reveal he was wearing no undershirt beneath in It Happened One Night. This was such a Moment (in Bob's parlance) that it supposedly tanked undershirt sales across the US for years afterward. This happened in 1934.

It's worth pointing out because yet again this self-appointed film expert apparently totally forgot about one of film's biggest signature events.
 
I thought the Female Gaze was a myth and that in reality male objectification is used to empower men? So what, are you telling me Bob is a hypocrite or something?
Pretty sure if DC does it, Bobby will call it a facile display of Toxic Masculinity, a dick-sizing contest without showing dicks, an arena of performative machismo where women are rendered fearful and irrelevant, an atavistic reversion to troglodyte sensibility in the #MeToo Era.

So that means we'll find out when Broana Aquaman comes out.
 
Seeing the photos of Bob with his niece is just so... weird. Bob is this writhing mass of vitriol and ego, and he's walking hand in hand with his niece; a child still starry-eyed and full of wonder.

It kind of makes me uneasy. The man who can so easily shriek about conservatives being "less evolved" than humans, that the death of disco was basically a subconscious klan rally, can put on the mask of a normal human being and try to appear well adjusted just skeeves me out.

Hence my "Amber Alert" joke a couple of posts back.

If he wasn't some kind of lumbering diabetic marshmallow, I'd honestly put money on there being human bones buried under that basement somewhere.

Because he killed some people or ate them? Or both?

I've never seen Momoa act in anything but Game of Thrones (where I have to say he's pretty fucking good, although he gets to hide behind a fake foreign language for the entirety of his performance), but I have a strong suspicion that Bob only derides him because he knows damn well how consistently lubricious the man leaves his female fanbase.
 
Or so the cops know who they're looking for when the Amber Alert hits.

Shame baiting the blob aint more popular outside of kiwifarms else we could probably get some "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN HE JUST ABDUCTED MY DAUGHTER!" thing going on social media that would almost certainly make him chimp out hilariously

The members of Motley Crue's wokeness overshadows them.
 
Does anyone with activity above the brain stem take anything this clown says even REMOTELY seriously? I'm genuinely curious, because this guy is a joke in so many ways. Hell, this is a guy who gave a lecture to people about cardiovascular health and physical fitness, without talking about his own mountain of flab.

If anyone took him seriously he'd be in a padded cell.

That said, he does somehow manage to score panel seats at a Boston con called Arisia. I don't know if he's ever managed to get on any other convention panels, but that alone is enough to make me weep for the state of sf fandom.

He was pretty good in game of thrones, and I really liked him in Stargate Atlantis when I was a kid. However I think him being a towering be-muscled manhunk is only half of why the blob despises him. In various behind the scenes footage/interview footage/whatever he is always doing stuff blobby would label "dudebro" (i.e. downing a pint then throwing an axe into a door, crashing GOT panels, generally looking like somebody who is fun to hang around with and whom people would consider masculine and likeable) and yet instead of being rightfully reviled and shunned by "evolved and superior" media people he is fawned over by the media and generally liked by everyone else.

Why aren't we film critics? We clearly know more about film, film history and the making of than he does.

He's pretty good on that show The Red Road on Netflix. I still don't know where he gets the idea that Momoa's bad unless his thirst is reaching critical levels.

With Momoa, instead of coming to the realization that his views on dudebros are binary and un-nuanced, Bob's just digging in his heels and hoping his fans leave him.

I've never even studied film. I just watch way too much TCM and Red Letter Media. I'd consider myself an amateur film buff at best.

Which makes Bob's hardcore ignorance, cloaked in unending fogs of bullshit and half-invented jargon, all the more baffling.
 
Gacy was pretty tubby. I'm not convinced we're not someday going to see that infamous Mario picture side by side with Pogo the Clown.

Really, the luckiest thing about Bob is that he has all the charisma of a can of seltzer. These latest tweets affect the apocalyptic tone of a cult leader, and God knows he has the ego for it.
Yeah, but Gacy had actual jobs, and interacted with human beings.

Bob stays up until 9 in the morning virtue signalling on twitter and making videos about why arbitrary diversity is good and hoping people forget the time he called megan fox a blowup doll. His only interactions that aren't his family are going to cons and shoving a handful of sweaty dollars across the counter of a mcdonalds.

So he considers literally all of Africa, Asia, and South America, where it's not majority white...and those are the places that are superior to "all the worst places," like the US and Europe? The US and Europe are "all the worst places?"
Bob is right. An albino is better off in an African country than in the United States :c

Can you imagine Bobbo watching an actual non-Blockbuster, non-Oscar bait film, say where the only special effects are Fred and Ginger dancing? I think Chipman, for all his know-it-all-ism, is pretty ignorant of the medium he professes expertise in. It would surprise me if Bob has seen any Capra films (such as It Happened One Night) outside of It's A Wonderful Life, and even that he would probably dislike because it's about Jimmy Stewart protecting the obsolete townsfolk from the elite's superiority.

Speculating on how Bob's crypto-fascist tendencies would leak into his 3 hour reviews of classic films is an amusing mental exercise.

I'm much the same. I've always enjoyed film, but I've only ever taken a single film class. It's an easy field to self-educate on though, with TCM being available, as is Netflix (and I think you can still get their well-stocked DVD library delivered). It's not hard to be a reasonably educated amateur film buff- but you need to spend time watching a variety of films from various directors and eras rather than watching blockbuster capeshit and reading up on Critical Theory so you can know how to find something to complain about (that isn't there).

Bob is snarky and cruel (aka two of the main things sjws/hipsters mistake for intellectualism) he's sort of like a nerdy Tucker Carlson in that he's not smart but he's good at getting "gotcha" moments and snarky retorts which stupid people place a higher premium on than actual arguments and facts.

Bob wouldn't even watch them. He'd complain about the lack of women and POC roles, and complain about how white Hollywood used to be. He'd say we're taking steps in the right direction because of black panther and conservatives are threatened by diversity.

Maybe it's a good thing he mostly sticks to capeshit. If he tried to blunder his way through Fellini or the French New Wave, then I'm pretty sure the corpse of Andrew Sarris would rise from his grave just to bitchslap him.
