From what I hear it's that instead of picking a suitable voice actors who can capture the iconic roles of the characters, they instead reached for the most popular celebrities they could afford even if they didn't fit the roles at all.

With Bob, there's extra salt because Mario has been voiced by Charles Martinet since forever, and Lou Albano voiced him in the Super Show (which I think is where the "Mario is a plumber from Brooklyn" canon Bob idolises comes from). It's unlikely Chris Pratt will channel those performances. Even Bob Hopkins had elements of Lou's working man performance.
To us, this is just more low-grade property-driven schlock from an ever-more bankrupt entertainment industry.

But Bob's extra salty because this film is just the next chapter in a 30 year epic of betrayal and wickedness.

Bob has been on consistent low-sperg for years about how one of the greatest slights of his life was that the live-action Mario Brothers film is 90% forgotten and 10% cult classic for being just an awful awful movie. His whole, literal whole life, he's wished for the day Hollywood would go back and do it "right" and is deluded that a large amount of the geek population feels the same way about it.

So, to him, the fact that Hollywood is saying they're going to make a Mario movie is the day he's waited for with baited breath since the early 90's.... they're finally going to fix that mistake...

And then they do it worse by making a "kids" movie out of it and totally ignoring the live-action canon.

To him, that was a Benedict Arnold-level treason, not just another "Oh joy, another forgettable movie" that 99% of us can see it as.

If they'd gone the live-action route, Bob would be just as upset they didn't either recast Bob Hoskins or use CGI to deepfake Captain Lou back-to-life.

To him, a proper Mario movie is this unattainable thing that he can't quite describe, but, sure as Hell knows can never be done to his satisfaction.
 
Also note the same (kind of) shitty candelabra in both front windows.
Bob's one of the Chosen People?
What "Technocrat Party" in Canada is he talking about and what does it have to do with Randian Objectivism which came almost two decades later? It wasn't banned for being similar to the Nazis, one group was banned for opposing World War II.
I wrote a pretty long post about Bob and technocracy.
Marshal Mannerheim said:
This explanation is quite lengthy (due to the length of Bob's tweets) and I apologise for that.

Generally speaking, this whole post serves as evidence that Bob's approach to politics is the same as a santero's approach to Catholicism; he doesn't know what St George or the Eucharist is, but he knows that St George looks a bit like one of the orishas he knows and that when the priest puts a host in the monstrance it looks like a talisman, so he treats them as the same. In the same way, Bob could care less about what fascism, technocracy or socialism actually are, but he treats them as the same as the cartoons he saw about space exploration in the 1980's and uses them for that purpose.

On that topic, due to Bob's belief that the phrase "The Green New Deal" serves as a magical incantation that makes his arguments leftist purely by its inclusion, I'll end up quoting heavily from the actual Green New Deal proposals alongside Moviebob's tweets. Whether you agree with them or not is entirely up for you - I'm not trying to argue for or against them, I'm just trying to demonstrate that Moviebob is, as per usual, talking about something he knows nothing about in an attempt to suck up to progressives.

...at its peak Technocracy (founded by a guy named Howard Scott) had a huge following...
According to Wikipedia the Technocracy movement was popular for a brief period of time in 1932. To quote the article, "Technocracy's heyday lasted only from June 16, 1932, when the New York Times became the first influential press organ to report its activities, until January 13, 1933, when Scott, attempting to silence his critics, delivered what some critics called a confusing, and uninspiring address on a well-publicized nationwide radio hookup. Following Scott's radio address, the condemnation of both him and technocracy in general reached a peak. The press and businesspeople reacted with ridicule and almost unanimous hostility."
Hardly what you'd expect from a mass movement.

The angle was basically Socialist Central Planning - but for PhD nerds. Replace the government with engineers and experts...
That isn't any different to central planning as theoretically practiced under socialism. Dictionary.com tells us that central planning requires "an economic system in which the government controls and regulates production, distribution, prices, etc". The only difference I can see betweeen that and socialism is that socialist states tend to choose officials based on loyalty to the state - but there's nothing to show that that wouldn't happen under technocracy.

Ironically enough, the actual New Deal (through things such as the Resettlement Administration) did actually create a centrally planned economy in Burgerland, and the Green New Deal openly states that implementing it would do the same:

Effective national action to address a national threat has to be coherent national action aimed at that threat... Businesses or industries [will not] solve our greatest challenges on their own. The federal government — our government — is the only body with the power, resources, and mandate to provide direction and support at the scale and speed required to realize the Green New Deal.

Moviebob said:
As a Depression-era movement, they were largely sceptical of capitalism
Given that "[Scott] reasoned 'that the sole scientific foundation for the monetary system was also energy', and that by using an energy metric instead of a monetary metric (energy certificates or 'energy accounting') a more efficient design of society could be made" and capitalism requires a monetary system to work, it's hard to see how technocracy contradicts capitalism. Yes, it opposes private ownership of the means of production, but so does state capitalism which is obviously still a capitalist system.

Moviebob said:
If you proposed [energy as a means of currency], you'd be on the left of the Green New Deal (or folding aspects into it)
This is where the political santeria really starts. The Green New Deal is a set of proposals that are too long for me to quote here but basically boil down to "we must establish a socialist, centrally planned economy that will get net zero, create jobs and infrastructure, protect the environment and do a bunch of social justice bullshit." Using energy as a currency has nothing to do with it.

Moviebob said:
Think Green New Deal but think... thought up in the 30s
That already exists and it was called the New Deal. To quote the proposals themselves:

Just as the 1929 crash and the Pearl Harbor attack catalyzed the New Deal and World War II mobilizations — the U.S.’s last great economic mobilizations — the collision between the consequences of our collapsing economy and the realities of our burning planet must catalyze action now... [The Green New Deal] is a “New Deal” in the sense that it works on a scale not seen in our country since the New Deal and World War II mobilizations — carefully developed series of historic national projects, conducted on a grand scale, that put scores of millions of Americans back into productive and high-paying jobs and transformed our economy into the greatest engine of production and widely shared prosperity that the world had ever known.
 
It's better than the coof vaccine because it's an actual cure, you don't even need to be poked to get it, and it ACTUALLY works! It's called eat less and move more. Do that and watch a myriad of mental and physical health problems melt away.
Japan had the right idea with government mandated fat shaming. Just move the age from 40 to 18 and watch as a lot of problems cease to exist.
 
An established IP is more likely to become a hit than an original property.
One wonders how long that can hold true when every IP is immediately thrown on the table, all the "problematic" parts are ruthlessly excised and what remains gets hacked up to insert the diversity and inclusion measures the maniacal mad doctor of Hollywood insists on?

The very thing that should be attracting people, recognizable characters/plots, has been thoroughly ruined through woke initiatives to the point that everyone now just reacts to a known IP being greenlit for a movie/tv show not with excitement or even optimism, but a tired sigh of "they're they go again, it'll be more dangerhair identity politics" meaning that it's ironically just more of the same, completely defeating the purpose of buying up that property.
 
Reply buttons are kiwifagged again.

Those are electric candles boomers and Silent Generation people put in the windows at Christmas time. Not sure if it's a New England thing or if the whole country did it, but I've only seen it in New England.
I think it depends on the family. My folks still do it, and they're up near Minnesota, and our family was never in the New England area. It has about as much meaning as the wreath's we used to buy from the Boyscouts.
 
MovieBob: Spergs about “thinkers vs. believers” and sky daddy superstitions

Also MovieBob: People I’ve never met did shit hundreds of years ago and now I’ve got blood on my hands because of a lottery of birth! I’m kept in check by my fear of karma!

@Koby_Fish that looks like a reflection of a house across the street, not a dollhouse inside. But considering that Chris Chipman has the interior of his home covered in American Girl Dolls and associated paraphernalia, who knows.
 
I've noticed a lot of people shit on Chris Pratt and even more so now with the whole Mario thing. I think he's pretty fucking hilarious. Parks & Rec, Jurassic World, Lego Movie, and GotG were all pretty great. I can't really imagine anyone voicing Mario because he never really says anything but if it has to be someone, then ol' Pratt seems like a fine choice. It will still turn into another soulless cash grab like the Emoji movie or the new Space Jam anyway. Might as well have some fun while you're at it.

Never knew "genetic WASPs" were half-Portagee Catholics.

He's a pretty good actor, but he's an awful choice for the Mario movie, he's only really good at mature comedies. Especially when they already have a voice actor that's voiced Mario in the games for like 20 years. Honestly though the Mario movie will be so awful I don't care who's in it, the more crazy it is the better because it's guaranteed to piss off Bob. Honestly I hope it makes a self aware joke about manchildren just for that.
 
The idea your genes can be guilty of a crime is so wonderfully, idiotically Bobian.
Don't forget, you can do penance for them and be excused from them if you just are a thinker and not a believer, unless, of course, you're ancestors were Nazis, in which case you can only ever die quicker and beg forgiveness (which you won't get, but you still have to TRY).

I think what will drive Bob through a wall is that the movie makes so much money it warrants sequels or is so bad that Nintendo never makes another movie with their properties

I mean, the last won't be any different when the live-action Mario movie tanked. So, thus Bob will go "Oh, sometime in ZE FUTAH Nintendo may try again!", I think it will be a bigger damage if the movie does make cash and gets a sequel.

Yep and I do think it will make bank. I just hope it’s at a level of the Sonic Movie where it’s liked well enough that Bob seethes about how horrible it is
 
Susan Arendt, a female "colleague" that Bobby wants to get cozy with, posts an old picture of a gathering.
He'd better be careful with that, as her husband at the time (and I guess now, not that I'd notice if not) was Ol' Eagle Semen himself, Russ Pitts.

You know, the guy who got dropped from the Escapist after reports came out of him doing stuff like giving used shooting range targets to subordinates he didn't like.

Especially when you compare her twitter avatar to her in the pic. I should keep this handy next time someone gets thirsty: This is what those "quirky nerd girls" turn into.
Bobby thinks that people have no obligation to watch their weights simply because there isn't an obesity vaccine:

Unfortunately there's no disease that requires "two shots and maybe a booster". Because anyone with two braincells realizes that the mere existence of the booster means the protection afforded by the two shots wasn't as long-lasting as promised and will require future boosters at a similar pace.

Six months from now he's going to be Bullwinkle from the old "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" segues, pulling up his sleeve and saying "This time for sure!"

Muslims are by definition Thinkers, for instance.
So, Thinkers can believe and Believers don't need to, or can abstract the belief out one layer so they only Believe they believe....

Good to see he finally confirms that his stance is totally arbitrary.
About that hapless woman we saw yesterday, the "Karen" who was confronted by a sealion who refused to leave her boat and soon found herself surrounded by sealions. Bobby was able to read her mind:

"Hello stranger, I've decided what your political beliefs are, and that is why you must die."

Good thing he's here to save us from those evil right wingers who want death camps because of the uneducated stereotypes they hold.

Speaking of, here comes Dob Chipman:

Kinda wish I had the big Rule 34 sites' search logs right now because I suspect between all the other soul-destroying searches I would see a search for "X-23 Jubilee" from an eastern US IP the morning of September 27th.

(Of course I'd also have to search the logs for things like "Laura Jubilation" because his knowledge of these characters is so deep he might use their real names without even thinkiAHAHAHA sorry I can't keep this joke up.)

The perfect event would be that little kids love it or find it funny, but it's hated completely by manchildren ala Teen Titans Go! since it's designed for babies. Then it does get sequels.

Because even though it'd be written at Bob's mental level, he'd reee and tantrum over it not being the greatest story ever told.

If you have to keep telling people you are something, you probably aren't. Good people don't wish to gas wide swaths of the population in the name of progress.

>White anglo Saxon protestant
> Is Catholic
>descended from Mayflower stock, who were Puritans

Can someone explain Bob's galaxy-brain relationship with religion to me despite him being an obvious fedora tipping anti-theist?
