Good lord, I step away for a couple of days to make merry and this swollen thumbhead just keeps on rollin'. A few reactions, in no particular order.
PS. I make no apologies for thoughts muddled by brandied eggnog.
Remember kids, don't commit vandalism before you have his permission.
Mindless spasms of iconoclastic violence
always end well! Also, I guess the Roman practice of
damnatio memoriae is part of the Superior Future.
Also, good to know Bob's lack of respect for the dead isn't limited to his immediate family.
That's...not even close to refuting his point.
Is he seriously claiming the whole "let go of the past" thing is now
not part of
The Last Jedi's innumerable missteps? I thought autists like him and Dobson have been screeching about how awesome it is that TLJ pissed in oldtime Star Wars fans faces for like the last 2 weeks.
I love how he calls people complaining about Last Jedi "manbabies", despite doing the same thing countless times (Mass Effect 3, Amazing Spider-Man 2, BvS)
Hey, yeah ... how the hell does he square peoples' dissatisfaction with Star Wars with his own nonstop bellowing about Spider-Man? It's like he's a big ginormous bloated hypocritcal cocksucker or something.
Have fun being a nine-course meal for the wolves.
Wouldn't it be great to see Bob move out to Silicon Valley to be part of the Coastal Elite only to be devoured by a fuckin mountain lion? Closest that guy'll ever get to a cougar going down on him.
Also, this new movie has now reawakened the super asshole in Bob that went to war with the Mass Effect crowd, the ones who like Amazing Spiderman series, GamerGate, Batman V Superman, and various other things. I swear with him and Dobson film criticism only exists to use against people and ideas they don't like.
He can't just say, "Well, I liked it, too bad it didn't do it for a lot of fans." No, it has to be this epic struggle between the forces of progress and the regressive shitlords, even though at the end of the day it's a silly space opera about wizards and laser swords and various types of puppets. Because Bob has nothing in his life but pop culture filth, and so it assumes a laughable importance it would never hold for a well-adjusted person. That's the most important thing in the world to him, lacking friends, loved ones he really cares about, and even the possibility of children. Even Brianna Wu has her filthy dogs (although I suppose they're more like fashion accessories). Bob has Mario. Good job, Bob.
So Bob crows about Mark Hamil accepting and praising Episode VIII, (even though the actor does so in an overly polite tone that makes it sound like Mickey Mouse is holding him at gunpoint. ) I'm sure Bob is now fantasizing about ways to force this kind of contrition on everyone who disagrees with him.
It's astonishing to me that he can affect the guise of a savvy consumer of media culture but seem completely oblivious to the
obvious likelihood that Hamill's newfound respect for Episode VIII is due to Disney doing panicked damage control. If that 77% dropoff figure is accurate, this movie is a potential catastrophe. Not that it won't make money -- it's already made several dump trucks worth of money -- but that if Disney succeeds in alienating the incredibly loyal Star Wars fanbase, then that $2 billion they gave George Lucas could turn out to have bought them nothing but the world's most expensive lemon franchise. They probably really would hold Luke Skywalker at gunpoint to get him to say the film is awesome if they could get away with it.
