While we’re on the topic of farting, I wonder just have awful Bob’s farts smell.

When you start wondering about someone's farts is the official sign you have become too obsessed with that person.

Let's just say if Bob ever lit at match in his basement we'd see the explosion from space.

I would check Bob's twitter but seeing all his tweets at the same time feels like getting hit in the face by a baseball bat.

There’s one retweet of a thread he did about Buzzfeed’s layoffs. He doesn’t see the difference between being laid off and being fired.

I hear that people report a chemical attack to Homeland Security whenever he leaves the house.

Bob, you do realize studios hire directors that are qualified and not because of their sexuality, right?

 

[Rei is shit]

Why does Bob's pfp look like he is about to shoot up a school?

How do you fuck up a simple gradient with this much banding?

EDIT: SW/lotr sperging. I'd like to know how lotr is a revisionst/subversion of the shit he cites

I now wish Mattel and Sony would hire Bryan Singer just to hear Bob, "REEEEEE!" out loud.

I mean calling old He-Man gay like that seems to be pretty pigeon holing there Bob. Might wanna check your privilage

Millennium Films is still letting Bryan Singer direct Red Sonja, so there's that to look forward to.

The question here is "Why does Bob want (quote) "horny" (unquote) gay people to direct cartoons aimed at children?" Does he want children to be exposed to adult forms of sexuality at an early age? Does he think that will get his Free Love Utopia (where even a man like Bob can easily get laid,) off the ground? Most kids that are 8 or 9 just want to ride dinosaurs or shoot things with lasers. They don't care who does what with what set of genitals, nor should they. Gays only make up 3 percent of the general population, so I don't see why cartoon makers should be so obsessed with portraying them.

Bob and other "geek culture" 30-somethings often forget that most of the shit they like is actually aimed at kids.

I didn't know that. Thanks. You've done more in 1 paragraph to explain who she is than anyone I've seen talking about her.

I think it's telling that even in your description you don't explain what her political position is. I'm not asking for it to be explained, I could look it up if I really cared. My point is it's so far down the list of things she's known for it doesn't come up. Why doesn't Bob (or anyone who name drops her) explain it? In the video Bob makes a big deal about her calling into the stream. But he never explains why it's a big deal beyond "politician talking about video games". It's like when he talks about Black Panther and how important it is but never articulates a point beyond "there black people in it".



Or Twitter. But it would have to be a lot of twitter to justify that kind of delay.

She’s basically a Moronic Millenial Twitter THOT who somehow managed to get elected to Congress. She’s 28, has a Masters in Economics from a prestigious University, which based on her demonstrated knowledge or lack thereof one can safely assume she achieved by giving blowjobs to liberal professors. The only job she has ever held is “part time bartender and waitress”. When elected she claimed she could not afford rent or moving costs to move to DCuntil she got her first Congressional paycheck. (She said this while wearing a $3000 suit. Go figure.) She’s the perfect embodiment of every negative stereotype of millennials distilled down into one obnoxious Latina.

I like how Bob doesn't understand that LOTR was developed independently from American sword and sorcery fantasy. While they both share some pseudo-historical trappings, they developed independently in parallel at roughly the same time.

American pulp fantasy a la Howard and Leiber was published in the pulp magazines by enthusiastic amateurs that were trying to eke out a living writing. Tolkien's fantasy was developed as both a place to play with his invented languages and provide a "lost" mythos for Great Britain, but he wasn't primarily a novelist, he was a professor by trade.

There was no subversion. The first really trope subverting fantasy didn't come along until Michael Moorcock decided to put a sickly albino wizard front and center instead of a wandering mercenary like Conan.

Star Wars doesn't subvert anything. It's just a melange of ideas George Lucas ripped off from Flash Gordon, Kurosawa, Wizard of Oz, The Dam Busters, King Arthur, Triumph of the Will, Asimov's Foundation, Herbert's Dune, and Kevin Bacon.

And Earthsea, which was written by a woman.

I think you guys are reading too deep for Bob. His support for gays is the "lezbeans r hott" meme and a desire to piss off conservatives. If Daddy Pence performed a gay marriage in front of the White House, Bob would drop us faggots faster than when Mama Chipman would hand him a vegetable.

Eh... I’ve met leGuin... my suspicion is she was an ex concentration camp commandant using an ultra liberal drag act as a disguise to hide out from the Israeli Nazi hunters. Let’s just say Ursula was the picture perfect example of “never meet your heroes”. Possibly the most openly vile and racist person I’ve ever met.

Tolkien was certainly aware of the fantasy pulp being written in the 30s (there's even a shoutout to Lovecraft in the Watcher in the Water and the line about the regions under Moria being "gnawed by nameless things," but the notion Lord of the Rings was a subversion of absolutely anything is one of the most dumbshit phrases Bob has farted out in recent memory. Tolkien was attempting to establish a written mythology, not subvert a genre that, in the form we know it now, did not really exist at the time and which LOTR did a ton to create.

Note he doesn't actually spend much time on it. I don't know if he's abandoned the idea of doing a Really That Good for the movies, but it's clear if he ever actually does it the thing will be full of errors and will be joyfully picked apart.

I feel like the Watcher in the Water being a Lovecraft shout out might be a bit of a stretch (though by no means impossible) as Lovercraft was still pretty obscure even in the U.S. and outside of Arkham House editions and tattered copies of Weird Tales, pretty hard to find. I always took "gnawed by nameless things" to be a more likely reference to Norse mythology's Niđhoggr given Tolkien's familiarity with the subject. But that's getting away from the subject- Lord of the Rings is maybe best compared to T.H. White's The Once and Future King (publushed around the same time as The Hobbit, also very, very British) rather than the sword and sorcery tales from the pulps.

But to stay on topic Bob is a dumb fatass and I would not watch Star Wars with him.

SAN DIMAS HIGH FOOTBALL RULES!

I may be mixing up Lovecraft with Howard. In fact, I'm sure I am. Those two things being references are probably a bit of fandom wish fulfillment, but JRRT is on record as having enjoyed Howard's Conan stories.

I would not watch Lord of the Rings with Bob, either.

If I'm not wrong that quote comes from a letter to Lester Del Rey regarding a fantasy anthology Del Rey sent Tolkien in the early 60s. IIRC Howard was the only author in the collection Tolkien was complimentary toward.

Some have blown up the significance of the quotation to the point where you'd assume Tolkien feverishly scoured bookstores and hounded the Howard estate for more Conan tales.
