Wait, did Bob seriously admit he obsesses over capeshit because he's a poor shut-in with nothing else to do?
He's either become self-aware out of nowhere, or is so incredibly, indescribably, stupefyingly dense as to not realize how much of a self-own that is.

Last I knew this guy got axed from the escapist, what's his financial situation now?

Living in his mother's basement, surviving entirely on Patreon paypigs, YouTube adsense, and whatever table scraps MatPat gives him.

What the fuck, he still hasn't moved out? I thought he was doing okay to great off the patreonbux?

 

[make_it_so]

What the fuck, he still hasn't moved out? I thought he was doing okay to great off the patreonbux?

He was in a "basement apartment" in a house that was apparently owned by family (this was the one where he infamously painted an entire wall green, rather than get a proper green screen). And he was making quite a bit on Patreon (enough where he could've afforded some decent clothes instead of the ill-fitting Mario crap he'd wear to Easter and Thanksgiving). But he instead chose to blow it all on booze, bar prizes, and small amounts of McDonalds.

Now, for reasons we're still not clear on, he's had to leave the basement apartment and move back in with Mom.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

Is it just me, or is @Marshal Mannerheim taking a break from Bob? Whilst I understand that was probably necessary (some people can only take so much bob-exceptionalism without going full a-log), I do miss the dude's takes on the footless fuhrer.

I've basically left KF - a while ago I became a groyper and I just didn't want to stay on a site that promoted liars like Jaden McNeil and Simon Dickerman while attacking Christian nationalism. The more time I've spent away from KF the more I dislike it so I probably won't come back.

(give me s for this if you want, I don't care)

Why is Robert this upset about the Batgirl thing?

First, he doesn't even like the DC movie, and they haven't been great either way, so what does he care.

Oh but the latina girl that played Batgirl was "thrown under the bus" Why? this is just her second movie, I doubt her contracted said anything about having a cut on the box office, so she got paid. If anything, she probably dodged a bullet if the movie is as bad as the WB was said the reception was, she would be stuck in a big profile bomb of a movie and without star power to be able to get past that.

But then the retard just goes "they hate black women!!!" and whatever, what is even the point trying to argue anything with this man.

Yeah, stay mad Robert, now run along and go make your little video about it, it may break the 30K views.

If you need any further proof of this, look at the last actress to play Batgirl, Alicia Silverstone. Up and coming star, gets a major role in a blockbuster movie, which proceeds to be a critical and commercial failure. Because she was tied to such a bomb and didn't have the star power of most of the other leads, this torpedoed her career; she's still had roles in the decades since, but never anything as big. (She wasn't the only one affected; Chris O'Donnell (Robin) got significantly fewer parts afterwards, and it was only thanks to NCIS: Los Angeles that he's had later career success.)

So yeah, if Batgirl really was shaping up to be a disaster, then this really was a blessing in disguise for this actress that I've never heard of but Bobby claims is one of the hottest stars out there because he really has a finger on the pulse of the industry, honest. It's possible to recover from an early bomb, but it sure isn't easy, and this frees her up for a potentially better role that could keep her career on the right track.

The Snyder Cut is about the restoration of faith, Bruce and Diana have lost theirs in both heroes and society. Now they realize they made a mistake and lost Superman because of it. Cyborg and Aquaman have no interest in either. Lois has given up hers with Superman dead too. Diana doesn't really get any specific dialogue for this but she's clearly framed as returning to overt heroism and she's the one who goes to talk to Cyborg about finding a place in the world. Bruce is assembling a team (!) in the first place and literally gets the line "Alfred, for once, I'm operating strictly on faith, not reason." They have to trust in not just Superman but the team to stop a god. Who is John Galt?

Really? I must include this in my OP.
How does the "Official Cut" differ from Synder's Cut in this respect?

Chris vagueposts like a 14-year-old again.


And Bobby is still mad that Ezra Miller gets a pass while his fapwaifu got the axe. Also something something Synder's Cut.

So why don't you, an esteemed Elite Film Critic, give WB some "pushback"?


This autist is nothing if not obsessed.

Despite what Bobby said, he thinks corporate politics is just like dynasties: Meet the New Boss, who shows you the skull pyramid made out of the underlings of the Old Boss.




People chances upon the reason that Batgirl would suck.





It costs you nothing to be a morally better person. Bobby should at least try it once in a while.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

Really? I must include this in my OP.
How does the "Official Cut" differ from Synder's Cut in this respect?

Mostly excises it and turns it into a conflict between Bruce and Diana:

So that he can later have them make up and try to hint at a romance:

I think every part of these two videos is Whedon stuff that's not in the Snyder Cut.

In the Snyder Cut there's basically no dispute, they need Superman, Diana doesn't doubt the team, she leads it and is on board as much as Bruce is.

At the end of BvS there's a scene at Superman's funeral, Bruce covers Clark's funeral cost and Bruce/Diana discuss their mistakes and Bruce begins his search and makes the case to Diana for the League:

Then at the end of Justice League, the relevant Bruce/Diana scene from this is Snyder (I believe in this montage only the scenes with Clark and then the one I'm talking about is Snyder, all three are in the Snyder Cut's similar ending montage) and is illustrative, Bruce again pays (for their house), then Bruce is talking about the table for the Justice League in the abandoned ruins of the Wayne Mansion that will be repurposed for the League, "six chairs." Diana adds: "and room for more." :

Whedon League has the scene but not the narrative arc for any of the characters that gets them from around BvS being completely separate and wanting no part in the world unless it's a death wish like Bruce clearly has to the League they are after defeating Steppenwolf and ready with their heroic purpose renewed to take on Luthor/Darkseid/etc. The obvious criticism should be that Superman's death is a hacky thing to base this around, but I think there's a clear arc there that goes back to Man of Steel and I haven't really ever seen Bob bother with any of this. (To be fair I never watched more than a little bit of his dissertation on BvS since it's longer than the actual Ultimate Cut of the movie.)

edit: Also, to add regarding faith. Bruce's entire impetus for the team in the Snyder Cut is tied to his visions as seen in BvS that helped convince him he needed to kill Superman: "I had a dream, like, I don’t know, almost like a premonition. It was the end of the world. ... I think it's something more... something darker."

Also, also. The team fights Steppenwolf and loses. Then fights Superman and loses. Superman leaves with Lois but the team has no idea what will happen and no time to find out. They still go to fight Steppenwolf again because Bruce has faith Lois will save Superman who he has faith will then come to help. Bruce tells Alfred so Alfred can tell Clark when he comes.

I think the overarching narrative is that Snyder (and Terrio) was trying to find a reason these heroes would come together other than that they're simply good guys and that's what good guys do. I think it's effective because Bruce (and Diana) is in a low place in BvS no longer trusting ("Twenty years in Gotham, Alfred; we've seen what promises are worth. How many good guys are left? How many stayed that way?") with people dying and realizes he needs to completely change his ways to put trust in the team, in Superman, etc.

Shit. I cannot edit my OP. This can cause problems down the road, not to mention a lot of pointless busywork for me.

I'll explain. The master document of the OP is a Google doc. When I transfer it on the forum, all the italicization, such as film titles, are gone. So I'll have to hunt down every phase I italicized and alter it manually. I can do it for once or twice, but it is really a chore.

"I do nothing but watch movies because I don't have enough money to do other shit!"

What does a library card cost? $10? I think they might actually be free in Massachusetts. It costs $10 at most for unlimited access to more books than anyone could read in their lifetime. A Thinker would be able to monetize their reading habit by, say, reading the pulp stories that inspired modern superheroes and making a video series discussing the similarities and differences. Or you could read the novels that inspried popular movies and make clickbait videos about how the movie is ten times better.

You could also take up birdwatching, which only requires a field guide (free online or from the library) and at least one functioning eyeball. Maybe invest in a cheap pair of binoculars for like $50 if diabetes is starting to affect your vision. Or you could volunteer at a local food bank, homeless shelter, or Habitat for Humanity. Or you could take up hiking, which at minimum requires a pair of shoes, a water bottle, and some sunscreen/bug spray. Boston is like two hours from the Appalachian Trail, Bob. Or you could write another book, which not only is free to do but would make you a bit of pocket change when some Kiwis bought it to read and make fun of you.

Basically any American who claims they don't have enough money to do anything but laze around the house watching Netflix is full of shit and probably a colossal bore.

I didn't believe this absolute retard brought in that kind of numbers. His latest video has 42k views. I can believe the subscriber numbers because I'm subbed to youtubers I forgot existed. He has to use a bot program or something because there are very few people that still have a positive opinion of filmblob at this point. I haven't been following moviebob much lately but it's good to see he is still fat and stupid.

Senator Rand Paul, a medical doctor, rejects veteran disability benefits for common diseases such as hypertension and asthma, because research has failed to reveal an association between these and military service (a partisan article from The Hill (archive) is all I can find at the moment).

A noble sentiment Bobby; I'm surprised you care about our soldiers, many of them GOP ghouls, so much that you can brush Science aside.

Hot take, nobody serves for free. They get paid, they do get schooling, they do get insurance, and if they stick it out they get a pension. They do not deserve everything just because they signed a contract. Are there issues with veteran services? Incredibly so. It's horrific that the people who get blown up are pretty much forgotten about to the point private organizations need to be made and need donations to operate because tax money doesn't help. I don't know if I can fully get behind Rand Paul, I might because of what my first point was and he seems to have evidence for his stance. Bob doesn't not give two shits about soldiers, blown up or not. He saw talk about his political enemy and will stand on the backs of broken soldiers for what he thinks is an easy dunk.

Can you export it as either BBCode or - more likely for Google - HTML which can be shoved through something like https://codebeautify.org/html-to-bbcode-converter ?

EDIT: No idea if it works but https://any2bb.com/ claims to be able to convert rich text to BBCode. If it works it should just be a matter of pasting the doc into the page, converting, copying turning on BBCode here then pasting. Tried making it work but failed, but I'm on a box without Google Docs access ATM and just tried to Wordpad it.

The fact that Bob's white whale seems to be an alternate cut of some shitty capeshit movie is so unbelievably pathetic.

For Bob, anything unbelievably pathetic is highly appropriate.

This Batgirl thing really shows Bob is a horrible film critic. Bob already made up in his mind that Batgirl is a good movie and there was no way he was going to give it a bad review. It has to be good; it has a diverse female lead. It is the same thing with Birds of Prey vs Joker. He only like Birds because it appealed to the right crowd Bob wants to be a part of while Joker appealed to a crowed that he hates. Which leads to another reason why he is upset. Bob is also upset because it gives a win for one of his enemies the Snyderverse fans. Bob defending this diverse movie also shows this modern sexist attuite he has. Because of the diverse female lead he will not hold this movie up to the same standards as any other film. It does not matter how mediocre this movie is because of some weird idea of inspiration that it might cause for minorities. Never mind if the movie is so laughably bad that there could be no way anyone finds it inspiring.

100 years ago Bob would have been the guy arguing against women's suffrage because they were too delicate and precious to be burdened with the stress of politics.

Bob's sexism has had to adapt to the times: women can't cope on their own and they need all the help they can get. He'll blame patriarchy and sexist white males holding women back, but deep down it's because he thinks they're too weak to do what men do.
