The movie starts when Vernita's daughter comes for revenge but after the first act its just the Bride, her daughter and Vernita's daughter enforcing feminism on Trump supporters

"These are A LOT of fucking idiots in this country, and as evidenced by our failure to manage COVID we clearly lack the moral strength to protect those most deserving."
This is totally not an insane statement.
"Society can't function if the people trying to go forward can be 'checked' by the ignorant, bigoted and obsolete" he says while whining about a bill that would have expanded the number of voters.

Removing or correcting the stupid should be as easy as giving Moviebob his walking papers and removing every... single... thing... Moviebob has contributed to your production company.
I wonder if "Changing the Subject to Suit His Needs" is a space that should be on future Moviebob Bingo cards.
After two innings:
SocialismTrain: 5
Moviebob: 0
Moviebob really needs to lay off the LSD.
If you were to remove the words Frenchman auteur, as well as every word after raw, you could swear that Moviebob was talking about himself watching 150 minutes' worth of AOC speeches.
Moviebob, now: "End the filibuster."
Moviebob, upon a potential Republican Senate majority: "WHERE"S THAT FUCKING FILIBUSTER WHEN MY SUPERIAA FYUUCHAA DEPENDS ON IT?!"
"This has been brought to you by Moviebob the bigoted, ignorant obsolescent."
But, Bob... you ARE enviro-Twitter, you braindead bozo! Let us look back a couple days ago:
Didn't you, an out-of-stater who has literally no relationship to West Virginia, flip off Joe Manchin for policies that literally have no effect on you? I mean, Bob, if you REALLY want cleaner air, then relocate yourself to some town that doesn't have overly congested streets, you arrogant assnugget!
Zero empathy...
Zero love for America...
Zero beneficial contributions to society...
Zero chance of being remembered as a good person...
Zero active promotion of cultural growth outside his toenails...
Zero desire to practice what he preaches regarding self-improvement...
...and after reading this...
...literally zero known charitable contributions for environmental causes, as well as zero known charitable contributions for the betterment of mankind. (The infanticide farm named Planned Parenthood doesn't qualify, EugenicsBob.)

Not to mention Bob likes the self awareness of these movies and gobbles the cocks of the people behind them if they make a passing reference to any theory/concept from science, religion, or mythology since it fuels his belief that these movies are smarter than what the average person believes.

I getcha, and that's how a sane soul just trying to write a revenge tale without pandering to some political bent. I[m just wondering how that story could have been bent to be...well, pandering to some political agenda.

They're basically saying the same thing. "Lumpenproleteriat" is a Marxist term that means "poor people who don't support Marxism". The reason Marxists use it is because they needed to explain why poor people rose up against Marxist or proto-Marxist governments (the Hungarian uprising, the Chouanneries in France, the Sanfedisti in Sicily) when Marxism was meant to protect them. For all intents and purposes it means the same as Bob's "obsolete white trash".

I mean, have any of Tarantino's movies been pandering? Even when the dude made the Hateful 8 or Once a Upon Time in Hollywood, neither of those had any agendas in them.

I didn't see one, but give it time, someone will.
Rather surprised conservatives didn't get more mad at Django Unchained tho, that had all the elements of triggering conservatives.

From what I remember, more people got triggered over how many times the characters dropped the "N" word. Also, correction the only "agenda" Once Upon a Time in Hollywood had was Tarantino's personal desire to see the Manson family getting brutally murdered, because he was a huge fan of the actress they killed.

It's because of this habit of his that it's hilarious that he's immediately decided Dune is overrated garbage before even watching the movie.
Now, I can't speak to the quality of the movie itself (going to see it tomorrow night), but so far I'm seeing a pretty positive response, even from fans of the novel. I can speak to the quality of the novel, which remains one of the pillars of sci-fi for a reason. To pull a Bobism, it's Really That Good™. (The stuff under the spoiler tag will be old hat to those who have read the novel, so feel free to skip down.)
On the surface, Dune is the standard hero's journey: the hero protagonist has a normal life (or as normal as you can have when you're the heir to a royal family 10,000 years in the future), he gets thrust into adventure, he grows in strength, he topples the bad guy, and he wins the day. But it's when you look deeper into the subtext that you realize there's more going on than you saw at first glance.
Beyond the hero's journey, Dune is more about the perils of hero worship and how a people can be led down a path of ruin by a strong, charismatic figure. Even one who is noble and has good intentions (like Paul) can find his will subverted by those beneath him, and fanatical devotion can inspire terrible acts. This is explored more deeply in the subsequent novels, but the first hints of this are seen in Dune itself, such as when Liet-Kynes sees a vision of his father telling him that "no more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero."
There's also much to do with the concept of predestination and whether it would be futile to attempt to change your future if you knew what would happen to you. As Paul's psychic abilities grow, he sees visions of a terrible jihad waged in his name, and he knows that if he continues down the path towards his ultimate victory, there will be unthinkable bloodshed across the galaxy. Thus, he struggles with his actions, not wanting to give up and die (for he is truly human), but tormented by the knowledge of what his victory will cost.
Frankly, there's so much woven through the novel that you could easily write a book on it, to say nothing of the series as a whole. It's no wonder that it still captures the imagination almost 60 years after its first publication, and I hope that the film truly is good to help get a new generation interested in the series.

Hey idiot: it's okay to enjoy schlocky movies. Really, practically everyone likes 'em, and even the snootiest of critics will have at least one guilty pleasure. You don't have to make excuses for them and try to claim that they're actually deeper than they are to try and justify your taste in movies. Marvel movies will never hold a candle to actual cinema no matter how much you screech at Scorcese and Villeneuve for making fun of them. If you can't get this through your thick skull, then go back to stuffing your fat maw with popcorn and cooming to the latest slop that Disney shat out for you. The rest of us will continue to devote as much brainpower to those movies as they deserve, which is to say, very little.

Well, I don't know anyone who couldn't get behind that.
Not surprised about the DU, though. Of fucking COURSE people would be upset about 19th century deep south actually using the word "nigger". Shocker!
I dunno man. Isn't Chippy a big fan of Terrence Malik, and made Tree of Life one of his movies of the year? Incidentally, I find Malik deep but absolutely devoid of anything enjoyable.

These tweets promoting some kind of corrupt authoritarian system with a facade of democracy sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole:
Two years ago, Robert was owning Hbomerguy by touting representative democracy:
Three years ago, Robert was expressing libertarian sentiments:
Five years ago, Robert was against one-man one-vote in favor of representative government (whatever that means):
Nine years ago, Robert was running around with the "Republic not a Democracy" talking point:

It's fascinating to see how Bob slowly descends into authoritarianism as his idols are toppled.
2012: Bob holds that "Democracy is mob rule" and that the US's current system is what's best.
2016: After watching
2018: After the God-Emperor won the election, he learned that "the will of the people" should not be respected because the people are idiots.
2019: He comes to the conclusion that "the people" should not be allowed to make policy decisions, but should select the best and the brightest to do so on their behalf.
2021: After the January 6th brouhaha: "Crush the Mayo Ghouls, see the driven before you, and give me their women so I can finally get my dick wet!"
Edited because I completely forgot about his meltdown over Brexit.

I enjoy him refusing to explain how he thinks the country should be run. I wonder if its because he doesn't actually know or if he realises that saying "we should have an infallible ruling class of elites that have absolutely authority over everyone else" won't win him any friends.

This really passes me off. Superman's story is like THE immigrant story, that's what makes it so quintessentially American because shocker: other countries aren't exactly as pro-immigrant as we are or have the history of it.
And what really twists the knife is that I know Chris & Bob are those open-border types who are ALL about how immigration is wonderful, America is all about immigration, no person is illegal, etc.
Yet they're already throwing away a useful myth and story about immigration. Geez these are some stupid fucking meatbags.

Exactly, just about every Superman story I've ever seen has made the point that even if Superman is an alien called Kal El from beyond our world, at his core he's Clark Kent, the red blooded American who lives by the laws and morals he was raised with. I partially blame the more recent Superman stories that have turned Superman into some kind of God figure who decides what's right and wrong rather than simply lives according to his own morals.

For Bob, though, Kansas is not America. It is where Morlocks are slaving to get fat useless Twitter Blue Checkmarks their Robot body.
I wonder if he would feel the same if instead of "The American Way", the motto was "The California Way".

I don't think Superman would like it very much if Chris told him he doesn't belong here.
