I would put money on Bob having never read The Silmarillion, let alone appreciated it. He's just trying to call it a prequel but in the most sophisticated way he thinks he can.
But calling The Silmarillion a prequel to The Lord of the Rings is like calling The Bible a prequel to WW2.
On that note, has Bob ever described a film as the "Dark Souls of movies" or something retarded like that?
Edit: I just read one of the comments when he was sperging out over some Danny Dank guy -"Bob's done more in his life than you ever will you mewling quim" oh God my sides. Imagine trying to be so badass on twitter to stand up for a man who has, in fact, never done anything of value with his life. That comment needs to be preserved somewhere, in a museum or something.
I think this is actually more retarded. It's not surprising though since Bob doesn't really know anything about Nintendo and says things that would make Shigaru Miyamoto say "Stop being a cringy simp. You are just awful."

I had a quick look over his account and he's clearly very autistic. Some comedy gold on there but best to leave the kid alone. It’s just a shame that Bob seems to be his idea of a good role model.
That does shed some light on Bob's audience and draw though. He clearly appeals to heavily autistic people with superhero fixations, probably because he himself is an autist with a superhero fixation.

Well it stands to reason that his fans are more retarded than he is, because they'd have to be to be fans of his.
It reminds a little bit of Extras, where the Ricky Gervais character makes a sitcom for the BBC and the BBC get involved and change it into this shitty broad comedy with catchphrases and terrible wigs. Then the Gervais character goes out to the pub one night and he meets the kind of person who would actually be a fan of his show:
Would asking 'Like what' really count as a trolling plan?

If anything we should congratulate him on such a good burn. He basically said "you're such a loser that a middle aged diabetic man who talks about superheroes for a living and has never touched a woman has done more with his life than you" Scathing stuff.
Honestly I feel bad for anybody that has to meet their fans, the majority will be mouth breathers who just spew references at you until you leave.
He left high school in 1999, so if he did a four year course, that'd mean he would have graduated in 2003. Maybe it's something as simple as he failed his classes, had to take them again the next semester, and then the degree came about while he was still making up course work. Or, another simple answer, he never did that course, but knew someone who does film reviews in Boston who did and is just lying so he can pretend he's more educated than he really is and his degree, if he has one, is in telecommunications or something. I doubt it was in English.
His blog goes all the way back to Jan of 2005. I don't see any posts around that time of a celebration of his graduating, so we can definitely say he was out before then.

Personal fact: I graduated College with a degree in Art. Having offered this context, let me make an overtly Art Major’s observation about “The Interpreter”: It plays as a movie very similar to the vibe one gets looking at especially empty examples of “minimalism,” in that it does very little, means even less and expects to be congratulated for these facts.
His most personal revelation post would be the 9/11 he did on 2012.
So… today is 9/11. I’m wondering when it will no longer feel “necessary” for my generation (or the generation right behind mine, for whom this is one of their first truly da…

On 9/11/01 I was still in college, and on that day I drove there, parked and went to class as the whole thing was still unfolding. It was impossible to process in-progress: I was born in 1981. My memories of “American conflict” were of the Cold War ending with a whimper and of the “bubble” of sustained (relative) peace during the Clinton Years – when America was (we thought) so uninvolved in the wider chaos of the world that a has-been football player killing his wife was “The Trial of The Century” and the question of whether or not the President had gotten head from an intern was considered an Earth-shattering scandal.
As I was driving in, the news was hitting that a second plane had hit (at the time Howard Stern was my “morning drive” audio, and yes his coverage was as uncharacteristically worthy/moving as you’ve been told) and as I was walking to class you could tell from people’s body language and half-heard conversations (good lord… the planes had left for Logan Airport… our airport) that it was slowly sneaking up on us that we might be about to live through something that 99% of use had only ever seen or heard of in movies or on TV. I sat down for class (Film Studies) but the class never started – a professor (or maybe an aide) hurriedly popped into the room and informed us that a state of emergency was being declared and all government buildings (state school) had to be evacuated.
Also, there's at least SOME excuse now for his weird attachment to blockbuster in that:
I didn’t want to go straight home, because I knew no one would be there until later and I didn’t want to just sit around watching this alone. I also needed to get to a phone (again, pre-cellphone-ubiquity days) so my play was to go to the nearby Blockbuster Video – where I used to work and where several friends (including my best friend) still worked. There would be a phone there, and people I knew (during my free-time during classes, I routinely “hung out” there to bother my pals during work), and the TV would probably be turned to the news.
So that’s what I did. I used the phone there to get in touch with my family and make sure that A.) everyone was okay and B.) we were not going to do the “lets all hunker down at home” thing. So I stayed there in Blockbuster with my friend, and we (and the rotating assortment of customers) watched things unfold on TV. The Pentagon hit. United 93. The rumors of the extra “phantom planes.” Then the official word started to come in – eventually from the Government but first from the hurriedly-assembled experts on the news.
Finally from that post, it also explains his Obama obsession:
Mostly, I remember feeling angry, afraid and finally resolved to a kind of calloused cynicism as the months and years dragged on and the Bad Guys went uncaptured and the very hunt for them seemed to be passed-over in favor of an only vaugely-related adventure in Iraq. And thus, I also remember LAST year, one night in May, seeing the gossip that Bin Laden had been killed crossing my Twitter feed and running to the livingroom to tell my mother to put the news on. I remember calling my younger brother (waking him up, I believe) to tell him to do the same. And I remember walking outside after President Obama had made the official announcement as if on instinct… and seeing that others on my street and the neighboring streets had done the same. I can only assume that it was a mutually symbolic urge for the lot of us – the best way to physically express the feeling of “emerging” from the era of having that bastard as our omnipresent boogeyman. Before long people had moved to line the main street, and every car that passed rolled down it’s window to wave or make celebratory fist-pumps.
Also random post I came across. This is even funnier now.
I didn’t like “American Pie” when I was of the exact age it was supposed to be relevent to me – but then, high-school movies aren’t actually for High Schoolers but for…

Also, I’ve got to ask… these movies are largely being made by people much older than the characters themselves; but am I the only one who notices how incongruous the whole “mid-30s adulthood grind” thing mus feel compared to what seems to be the REAL situations of the generation that graduated when these kids are supposed to have? I mean, did no one writing this look at the current economy, demographic studies, the THOUSANDS of books written about “Boomerang Kids” etc and pick up that Generation Y is by-and-large NOT at the “world wear rat-race” point that they (the writers/producers) may have been? I mean, Jim is married, has kids and a house of his own in his mid-30s!? Dear lord, what’s he got to be weary about – compared to the rest of his generation his fucking SUPERMAN!!!”
So in case you hadn’t heard, in addition to my own work I’ve also over the past year become part of the writing staff at Matthew Patrick’s FILM THEORY Channel over on YouTube – great team, exceedingly glad to be onboard. This weekend, it got all sorts of “onscreen official” around the 2:48 mark… nifty!
So yeah by all means PLEASE check this one out and share it WIDELY to all of your friends, family, colleagues – like, subscribe, leave comments, etc. Yes, that’s a MUCH bigger channel than our indie operation here but a lot of people work REALLY hard on each of these pieces and every little bit helps
What I have noticed is that both Bob and Boogie are quite transparently equally bored with entertainment. But unlike me, these guys are in their 40s with no job, no family of any kind, and almost completely socially isolated. They're living their adolescent dream of no responsibilities, no obligations, just piles of toys to play with...and they're not having fun. They're miserable.
Same story with wingsofredemption isn't it? Turns out having all the toys you could ever dream of doesn't infuse your life with meaning and unless you're able to sustain a sense of purpose in what you're doing you're going to be feeling empty and numb sooner or later.
Bobby skipped the affirmative arthouse Nope and go straight for the fap fuel. Spoiler alert: he shaved his head, ditched the Nintendo T-shirts, and adopted the pussy-watering look of a GTA pimp.
The Daylight Warrior, the guy who just told Danny Dank that "Bob has done more in his life than you ever will, mewing quim", has reservations about Bobby himself. Campra's video.
Like Cassandra, Bobby prophesizes the destruction of WB.
He continues to grudge-wank on Leslie Grace's behalf.
Marrying your childhood sweetheart is now "grooming", according to the Rainbow scum.
Oliver Lennard.
Doing "philosophy" for money was the jobs of Ancient Greek's sophists, a profession not much younger than prostitution.
The best part of this is Bob's also the same guy who insists they have a plan. He only adopted this once it became more noticeable they don't plan but he still falls back on it depending on what the argument is.

Ehhh apparently this is a real thing. This is someone he's just married and who is almost 27 years younger than he is. They started dating when she was 18 and he was 44-45. Whether that's "grooming" is a lot more debatable than the Rainbow Brigade thinks (I well recall some woman in the sff writing genre shrieking about "grooming" when she was 26, and what she claimed was a grooming relationship was just some typically fucked up polyamory with an older couple) -- by this metric Humphrey Bogart groomed Lauren Bacall, and that's just fucking moronic. Still, they haven't gone so far as "childhood sweethearts are grooming," though I would not be surprised.
Back to Bob, how can he apparently really be losing weight while his head remains exactly the same size?
Why do him and Jim only ever show themselves on camera while wearing sunglasses? Are they trying to look cool? Hide the fact they're reading off a teleprompter? Are their normal sized human eyes tiny pinpricks when compared to the rest of their rotund faces, thus making them look even more like pigs?
