Looking over this past weeks tweets, does anyone else think Bob is stepping up his sperging on Twitter?

I know when i once checked to see if there were any responses to some of his sillier ones, it took me FOREVER to scroll down to them even though it hadn't been but like an hour since they were screencapped. I am legit baffled at how he gets anything done.

He gets things done from the super powers granted to him by autism, such as a lack of sleeping, willingness to focus on things most people would ignore and get over and a lack of relationships in real life

Just like the rest of the Modern Star Wars film faggots, Moviebob resorts to one of my """favorite""" rebuttals in response to Last Jedi criticism.

"Urrrrrrrr durrrrrr, the Original Trilogy had those problems to so you're WRONG."

Bobby, it don't work that way. Even if we just took your word for it (and I'm being very generous in doing so) and those issues were apparent in the Original Trilogy of Star Wars, then it's apparent that those issues weren't prevalent enough to warrant a vast amount of criticism. Perhaps because they disguised said issues well, a sign of a decent film? Just throwing that out there.

Again, this is giving Bob the high ground on this one. If we actually dissected why this argument was bullshit (which we don't have to, MauLer pretty much did it for us lol), we'd see that the flaws in Modern Star Wars are on a different, more problematic level than anything the Original Trilogy had to deal with. Hence why kids still love those movies to death meanwhile Rey and Kylo Ren struggle to catch on.

which leads me to believe that the only reason why The Handmaiden and The Neon Demon were his two favorite movies of 2016 was because he wanted to look cool and they had lesbians.

It's funny because I remember on Letterboxd and film Twitter everyone who overlapped with the IDpol crowd savaged Neon Demon. So not so up with it Bob.

I imagine him liking if not having a deep analysis of Herzog and PTA. They're are probably two of the easier to enjoy artier directors. I know people who don't like much outside of what was made between when they were born and today or anything with subtitles who have enjoyed Herzog's most known works.
 
Did Bobby suggest "genre boundary" doesn't exist, in the Star Wars franchise among all things?!

And I don't seem to recall people critizing The Last Jedi for deviating from conventional film structure. Most criticisms zone in to the Mary Sue, the out-of-character treatment to established figures (Luke in particular), and the general lack of charisma of the cast.

Pretending tonal whiplash doesn't exist.

Pretending that the argument is as simple as "this movie has comedy, therefore bad".

Pretending that comic levity cannot be badly placed or timed in a scene.

Imagine if there was a scene in the Original Trilogy of Star Wars where C-3P0 snatched Luke's lightsaber from his hand in Return of the Jedi while Jabba's bounty hunters were about to kill the heroes and said something akin to "They're not our true enemies so you shouldn't kill them!"

You'd bet your ass that these people would flock to that scene as an example of why the OT isn't good and why Last Jedi should get a pass. That's the big ticket with these people's criticisms. They won't point to specific examples of their arguments in action, just postulate about how you're wrong and that you should feel bad for being wrong. But because such a scene doesn't exist, they instead use vague language to try and make it seem like there's proper correlation to be had with the comparisons. That's the trap. They make you think that it's a fair comparison but if you push even the tiniest bit of scrutiny to that logic, it falls apart almost immediately.

In reality, when put to practice, Modern Star Wars and the OT couldn't be any more different when it comes to application.

Really? Bob once hailed The Dark Knight as one of his "Big Three" superhero movies (The others being Spider-Man 2002 and the first Superman film) that have had wide-reaching influence on the genre. He's compared so many films to the Dark Knight trilogy.

Bob not being consistent with his opinions and changing his mind to suit his current argument? No, that could never happen!

Also, while the OT had comedy in it, it always flowed with the scene and served to flesh out the characters who employed it. It never took over the scene and stopped the action dead in its tracks. As far as I can recall, there was never a scene in the OT when Luke was making his final run on the Death Star and he called Vader up on his Space Phone to tell him that his mother was so big, she required a Corellian fighter with a full fuel tank to circumnavigate. Because that would have been stupid and cringeworthy.

I think Bob would hate The Dark Knight if he could because "dudebros" love it, but he can't actually think of any good reasons to do so without seeming disingenuous (i.e. it's out of obligation rather than genuine affection).

But now that the Marvel films have come out and proved the lighter approach to superhero films can work, he can subtly diss it retroactively because superhero films that are trying the dark and gritty approach aren't doing so well anymore.

Well, just telling people “evolve or die” isn’t helping anything and makes you sound like a comic-book supervillain.

All this talk of how people need to evolve is ironic coming from him. He is a fat, bitter, balding, loser in his late thirties who lives in a literal basement. He will never find anyone willing to have sex with him. He will never have children. He is himself the text-book definition of an evolutionary dead-end.

Bob you dense fucker...

Yes, while "technically" you don't need to write or tell any story in a particular formula, there is a REASON those formulas exist and it's the same reason music has a freaking beat in it. We could stretch the definition of music by recording an hour of you farting around your dungeon and nobody would want to buy it because it would break all the formulaic standards of why people enjoy music. Everyone would call it a bad song.

People rely on movie critics to give them a preview of how well the movies hold or innovate the conventional standards. If you really want to go down this postmodernist bullshit road of "it's all good" then you're out of a freaking job!

And you're hardly one to talk about "conceptual-illiteracy."

Does Bob actually know what evolution is? For all his talk of evolution, Bob sure as hell doesn't seem to actually understand how it actually works or why it's laughable for someone like himself to be talking about others being less evolved.

Bob can take refuge in the likelihood that the Ant-Man sequel won't bomb at the box office. While it probably won't make as much as Black Panther or Infinity War, it seems the MCU hasn't suffered the fatigue that Star Wars has. But I could be wrong and maybe Infinity War was the peak for the MCU.
