Ah yes the diverse rich Canuckistan with it's long history of Mounties, lumberjacks, and trappers. To any leaves out there I jest. I am confused as to why in 1937 the mayor of Boston thought that Canadian ex-pats would soon rise up in the political ranks. I'm only a little more so confused as to what it is currently. Is it like the Shriners? Knights of Columbus? Is it just a hang out spot for people who like to say they have some Canadian in them that occasionally does charity? Not that there's anything wrong with that it's just weird.
This was part of the argument of the book Bowling Alone, that there had been a decline in membership in these groups and that it was harmful to American democracy: http://bowlingalone.com/I suspect that sort of thing used to be very common. Practically any sitcom made between 1920 and 1970 was virtually guaranteed to have adult males be members of some sort of lodge or club.
It would be interesting to see if that's reflected in reality; if there's any actual history of social clubs and proof they have declined in membership.
How the fuck did anyone hire this man? He writes so many bad long-running sentences and puts in so many words that just make himself seem smart.Not news but just out of curiosity I looked at the last review before Eternals and yep, nearly every "paragraph" is a single sentence:

Moviebob is that guy who will duct-tape your mouth closed, whack you hard in both your shins with an aluminum baseball bat, and place the bat in your hands before walking off nonchallantly, making it look as all your injuries are self-inflicted.There's this ideology that people try to determine whether they're successful based on the amount of hate they get. I can't promise its origin, but I'm almost certain some shitty rapper is responsible for that gem.
I heard a story that bus drivers aren't supposed to get involved if someone doesn't pay the fare for safety and liability reasons. If you're the rider, you successfully ride the bus for free. But do you really want to be that guy?
Bob = that guy.
Bob's that guy that eats all six Klondike Bars and leaves the empty box in the freezer.
Bob's that guy finishes the coffee and doesn't make a new pot.
Please feel free to add to the list.
It's non-canonical because it's a pseudepigraphical book. The ancients were aware it wasn't written by Enoch and so didn't have significant historical value like the Septuagint did, but it had enough theological value that they appreciated it. And yes it's quoted in the Gospel.I think that he is taking it from Noah, specifically how it dealt with the Nephilim, which is the only way I can see it being tied to the eternals. As it stands, the book of Enoch is non cannonical, but it was known to the Jews, seeing as I want to say the apostle James quotes part of it at one point.
If I recall its considered non canonical because the fall of man happens again, after man's already fallen. I think. It's been a hot minute since I read about it.
Beside, Enoch is plenty cool in the canonical bible, even if he is barely in it.
Live for 365 years, and God thinks you're such a homie that He personally brings you to heaven. Rock on.
The dumb "I'm totally laughing so hard right now and not mad in the slightest" smiley at the end of this weird rant that suddenly goes to an oddly specific place of anger really drives the point home:Continuing the previous "woke X-Men" rant. Bobby seems to think it is the job of comic books to educate "dumb Gen-X fanboys" on being subservient to their darkers and betters:

I'm not aware that the Four Gospels refer to Enoch, but the Second Letter of Peter (whose authorship is questioned at any rate) made an oblique reference to it.It's non-canonical because it's a pseudepigraphical book.

I misspoke when I meant to refer to the canonical books generally. There's a direct quotation from 1 Enoch in Jude 1:14-15 and he says Enoch wrote it.I'm not aware that the Four Gospels refer to Enoch, but the Second Letter of Peter (whose authorship is questioned at any rate) made an oblique reference to it.
When someone writes "the Joe Biden of X" as a positive, I translate it as "the only people this appeals to are braindead zombies like Joe Biden".Bobby thinks Ghostbuster: Afterlife is only intermittently entertaining, just as he thinks Dune is "not good, not bad". On the contrary, The Ghostbustesses got the mood right:

So... our cultral elites have devolved into Moviebobs?Suddenly our cultural elites have become dishonest scum:

Moviebob advertising that contributed to something--ANYTHING--is openly advertising to intelligent people that watching snails race on the neighborhood sidewalk is a better way to spend fifteen minutes.No one watched his Eternals bullshit so Bobby posts it again:

No matter how frequently Moviebob discusses natural selection, he's nowhere close to ending up as the king of the evolutionary hill. If anything, he'd be one of the first people left in the dust.The Dems have won the "Ideological War", still they can't afford to wait for Natural Selection to take care of the obsolete and regressive.

So? Moviebob has literally advocated for bio-terrorism in Texas.
Moviebob's just jealous that Substack has only about 999,000 more paying subscribers than he does.
The SUPERIOR FUTURE will take care of him.Honestly, someone just needs to kill this illiterate manbaby at this point, putting this much thought into the rantings and ravings of a genetically and mentally-defective Neanderthal isn't necessary. Just think of it as a modern-day equivalent of a PT Barnum attraction.
Don't forge- the most glarin- proble- of Bob's most recen- videos: The constan- hard cut- in ever- other line.Seeing a Bob video only once every sixish months, I have to say: Dear God, his accent is getting worse. It's like he's trying to do a Boston version of The Nanny, especially since it seems to drift - sounds like he says "filmmakahs" but then ends the same run-on sentence with "altogether". Does the esoteric Lynn dialect make exceptions for sentence-terminating Rs?
"Gnostic pantheism"? Does someone who knows more about Gnosticism than just the basic bio of the Demiurge and a few lines from The Apocryphon of John and Hypostasis of the Archons want to explain this concept? Or does he just think Christians in general are pantheists because Satan and St. Peter et al. are all also important figures?
And if everyone could just stop mispronouncing "cache" I would be happy.
Also: "This is so fucking second quarter freshman year film student pontificating after 2 vodka frutopias" - if only you knew how right you are, O random commenter in the top right.
Bob's mention of "Mortal Kombat what had da blood code" reveals that he is still traumatized from schoolyard chants of "Genesis does what Nintendon't".The dumb "I'm totally laughing so hard right now and not mad in the slightest" smiley at the end of this weird rant that suddenly goes to an oddly specific place of anger really drives the point home:

Bob can say what he wants and far be it from me to correct an enemy when he makes a mistake. However, Eternals suffered a 70-75% drop at this weekend's box office and with Afterlife having more positive buzz from fans, methinks that will be the final nail in the former's coffin. I took a quick look at Box Office Mojo and Eternals has only earned a combined $280M domestic/international total. While I am not in the business of making predictions, I imagine that it it might be the first MCU film to lose money*. The Lord of Lynn can bloviate all he wants about how groundbreaking and cerebral Eternals is, but Disney worships the almighty dollar like very other corporation. Bob Iger is no longer running the show and Bob Chapek, the current CEO, is a known skinflint so I doubt that there will be a sequel. Indeed, Chapek could use Eternals' failure as a pretext for more top-down control of Marvel Studios.Bobby thinks Ghostbuster: Afterlife is only intermittently entertaining, just as he thinks Dune is "not good, not bad".

To be fair, even amongst comic book readers, Chris Claremont is known to use way too much word balloons.This reminds me why I never dig comic books: too many words.
