Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Mola Ram]

Bob is politically homeless because his ideas are such a peculiar combination of uncompromising, nigh-sadistic on the matter of the working class, and childishly naive that only a complete dolt would find them even the least bit workable, to say nothing of how unappealing they are. I note, of course, that "politically homeless" still translates into voting straight ticket Democrat, because Boston. (Someone more conversant with economics than I am ought to school him on why UBI is such a terrible idea.)

Also, I don't want to hear a fucking word about OJ from anyone who supports Black Lives Matters.

 

[BlueSpark]

I love how he knows that he has to state that he's still voting Democrat. He knows the people that pretend to like him would throw him under the bus in an instant for even considering voting Republican.

 

[His Dewliness]

How can you even consider yourself "politically homeless" if you know who you're going to vote for way in advance of any election? I guess this is Bob just attempting to make his politics seem deeper and more profound than the end result of "VOTE BLUE REGARDLESS" would imply.

He's homeless because politicians say they want to help poor people, not genocide them for the Aristocrat master race.

 

[Y2K Baby]

Bob is politically homeless because he's a political arsonist.

I've said it before, but Bob has only rudimentary understanding of film as an artform and no understanding whatsoever of film as a craft. There's nothing wrong with an amateur film critic -- and as an amateur obviously he'd have little to no clue as to what film school students think of any given director -- but an amateur film critic who pretends he's professional does nothing but make you grind away valuable layers of enamel from your teeth, particularly one who writes in such a condescending manner as Bob. He's basically just a guy who likes movies, particularly brain candy sci fi and comic book fare, who likes writing about it. You would think someone like that would come across more as fun than hateful, bitter, and joyless, but, well, here we are.

And seriously, given how often Bob tries to portray comic book crap as Art, how dare he sneer at Nolan for "infusing artistic credibility" into subjects Bob doesn't approve of. You're a shrieking leftoid lunatic dickhead, not the Arbiter of High Culture.

One last thing:

"goes without saying"
"synchronize"
"ruin"

To keep bring up far better film hacks, RLM you understand really love films from both an entertainment and art medium. Bob is simply a surface level man and if he was just the man who had a sense of fun to his junk food movie reviews then I would have no problem at all. I agree with you Molan that Bob seems to carry his bitterness into his reviews much like Chris did in his comics to the point it is poisonous and that you feel his reviewing abilities are compromised. I feel alot of this Nolan hating comes from that fact that he believes dudebros are the ones enjoying his films when that could be at times far from the reality.

For all the pretenses of being a progressive man, he is about as rigid and formulaic as they come, which is why he loves the Marvel movies.

 

[RockVolnutt]

I get that he's into authoritarianism but how does Bob seem to think a nation, especially his dream global government, can survive without prioritizing it's citizens? Governments belong to it's people and it's unwise to make them all your enemy. On the other hand, nothing of importance would be lost if he lost his head in a revolution.

Bob thinks that the natural vacuum will default to being solved by a Mario cosplay contest.

 

[Adamska]

I just want to point out that he's accusing Nolan of not getting people and humanity. The fat idiot who wrote a script where you're supposed to love the cold corporate machine as it crushes the worker is claiming that the guy who wrote Interstellar and Inception don't get the concept of feelings.

Not to mention Nolan has a wife and children.

Hey Bob has something more important, his Amiibo collection.

Yeah that bit made no sense to me and is why I suggested Bob never actually saw Interstellar. I don't know how a movie about a man who misses his daughter is dudebro fare. Same goes for Inception. Or The Prestige. In fact I think the Batman movies are the only macho films the guy made and I think that's mostly because Batman is a macho character. No one wants to watch a Batman movie where Bruce Wayne has gauges and a hipster beard and oats himself on the back for letting Catwoman get plowed by Tyrone and Ahmed.

You danced around the root problem with Bob's seemingly conflicting political stands. Childishness. Bob has never grown up. His politics are that of the schoolyard. A weird mixture of bullying others when you can get away with it, posturing, and schrieking "that's not fair!!!" Bob is the eternal man child.

Something that the Gamergaters noticed about Bob from way back. He is in fact every single thing that the Gamers we're ever accused of being. He is the fat uncouth immature misogynistic basement dwelling neckbearded manchild who's never gonna know the touch of a woman. And yet the assorted leftists of the press and pop culture hold their noses and embrace him, because he spouts their party line. While they sneer at and demean others for their crimes of leading inoffensive unassuming lives that simply seek to enjoy their hobbies unbothered. Be they Comics, video games, movies, music, etc. Bob is the picture perfect example of what Lenin meant by "useful idiots".

 

[Gordon Cole]

I'm surprised he's even giving this the time of day considering 1.) His barely masked disdain for any Marvel properties Fox owns and 2.) The fact that Legion (An X-Men show by Noah Hawley) would probably melt his brain.

He needs to be able to pretend junk is art and write off stuff he doesn't understand or just doesn't like as junk as the situation warrants. Whatever gets him in with the hip crowd or lets him feel superior, I guess.

Think about it, movies that are truly original like Baby Driver, compellingly dark like War for the Planet of the Apes, that are capable of doing both like It Comes at Night, that are made by creators he has a bone to pick with like Dunkirk and movies made by studios he has a bone to pick with like Spider-Man: Homecoming and Logan get reviews from him that range from "tepid praise" to "extremely mediocre".

Meanwhile a lightweight movie like Hidden Figures gets four stars due to having strong, independent black women who don't need no man, and he sees Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in the theaters multiple times and even calls it one of the best Sci-fi movies of the century.

He's an insanely pretentious person who ironically has the most basic tastes in film.

P.S. This Beta as fuck Mario account always gives me a chuckle whenever Bob retweets it:

Why do people use characterless cartoon mascots for mouthpieces on serious subjects?!

Have we not learned our lesson at this point? :autism:

 

[Kyria the Great]

Why do people use characterless cartoon mascots for mouthpieces on serious subjects?!

Because they have no real frame of history or life experiences to draw from as they have been spoon-fed pop culture all their lives which is why you have folks comparing Trump to Voldemort (To be fair I compare Bob to the Master from Fallout but at least mine has a sense of humor and makes sense as well). It is this sense of lack of history or revisionist history is why we get exceptional things like this.

 

[RodgerDodger]

In Bob's case the safe bet is any time you see a Mario Avatar of some sort he's fapping to it. Especially if it is his ultimate dream girl princess peach.

I know people like to compare MovieBob to RLM in terms of how RLM actually know their shit about movies and that Bob's tastes are pedestrian, but I'd like to select a few choice tweets from RLM's Jay in particular to really seal the deal.

First off, in the wake of George Romero's death, Bob posted a crappy greenscreen of him standing next to him for some lame joke about his height. Jay on the other hand responded with this.

You get more of a sense that Romero was an inspiration to Jay and that his death impacted him as a cinephile. All Bob did was basically acknowledge his death.

"But Romero was more of a cult director," I hear you say, "Of course Bob wouldn't be all that affected from his death. He's only interested in mainstream movies"

Well true, but for all his sucking off the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, I highly doubt Bob knows this little factoid about his favorite superhero film.

If Bob seriously expects people to come to his side at this point, then that's just really sad.

Growing up as a complete horror movie geek, I really relate to Jay and his point of view. He strikes me as one of those guys who's earnest, down-to-earth and whom you could shoot the shit with about anything for hours on end. With Bob, I could break his extremely fragile ego and get him to either be really salty or straight-up REEE in public by mildly disagreeing with him about a movie. (I'm reminded of him getting into a slapfight about Spectre a few weeks back where he said something to the effect of "You're entitled to your opinion. (you're still completely wrong, though.)".)
