If the anti-Captain Marvel crowd starts championing Shazam! (not at all outside the realm of possibility, since this guy is the original Captain Marvel and the film seems to be studiously avoiding any political agenda at all), Bob will turn on it like a rabid dog.

Captain Marvel was alright for the most part despite Brie Larson’s performance. Didn’t hate it but I wasn’t a fan of it. Shazam! looks very fun though and Zachary Levi looks very charismatic in the title role.

Interesting comment on the stay puft marshmallow man. I bet Blobb feels that’s how kids look at him when they see him wobbling down the street.

I expected an Inferior Obsolete like yourself to make that point but tough luck, friendo, the entire concept of Billy Batson is INHERENTLY political. It's a message about......uh, help me out here.

Believe me, he was perfectly cast in the role.

Don't mind me. Just waiting around for Bob to explode in a shower of bile and gore, ala good ol' 80s practical FX horror movies when he comments on the Barr report. Anyone want to share my big umbrella?

Like Thunder from Big Trouble in Little China but more humorous

Any analysis of Nixon vs. Trump that occurs- regardless of what one believes about either or both- that doesn't factor in the almost total collapse of the mainstream media's ability to control public opinion is inherently wrong, or so incomplete as to be effectively wrong. Then, it was Walter Cronkite speaking ex cathedra, now it's bluehairs at Buzzfeed REEEEing.

Also, not for nothing, but where on earth does he get this notion that Nixon had a chance to beat Watergate? I have never heard any analysis that doesn't assume Nixon stepped down because he was dead certain to be impeached and convicted.

Conrad Black, oddly enough, believes something very similar: that whatever crimes were committed, the evidence connecting them to Nixon himself was tenuous at best. Of course, he doesn't need to have committed actual crimes to be impeached, and with the (effective) FBI head feeding his hatchetmen in the MSM the results of his (probably illegal) spying on the president, that the charges he was convicted of were pretextual would be cold comfort indeed.

But remember that Bob is looking at this from the perspective of someone firmly cocooned in the SocJus bubble, where a private server loaded with unsecured classified data is NBD because you have the right party affiliation. He doesn't get, on an instinctive level, the degree to which the media mobilized against Nixon, whom they despised.

That's the first semi-coherent thing Blob has said in months - "Trump isn't really a Republican."

You're right, he's doing the same shit a Democrat would have been in favour of, 40-50 years ago, you fat fuck.

I feel like I've read Black's argument, but I don't recall him ever suggesting that Nixon had a hope in hell of beating the impeachment, pretext or not.

On reflection, I think you're right. Black is on record as thinking the charges against Nixon were BS, but whether he actually could have beaten them is another question.

Perfect reminder to Blobby that you can’t impeach a president just because he makes you butthurt.

VAMPIRE HUNTER D: A young girl of the far future gets bitten by a vampiric nobleman, and elists the help of a Vampile, (half human, half vampire,) bounty hunter named D to hunt him down. Easier said than done! Before you can blink, heads are being chopped off, hands are getting removed, women are getting naked, bodies are being splattered on walls and all those other little joys that make vampire movies so much fun are happening.

UHhhhhh ohhhh, sounds like a Gamergater to me.

This is a few pages back, but this old review is a good indicator of just how little Bob pays attention/ does research for the shit he watches. A Human/ Vampire hybrid is a fucking dhampir or maybe dhampiel, and yes, VHD uses the correct term.

To be fair, Bob was 15 when he wrote this. Not that he's changed all that much.

Which begs the question of how shit is the Boston Public Education system and Salem College are?

 

[Sumdood]

I cringe when thinking of myself at 15. Bobby probably still thinks the exact same way he did when he was 15.

It wouldn't make any difference if Bob went to Salem College or a legacy Harvard admission with post-grad work at Oxford. You can't educate the ineducable.

Not the version I watched ages ago, which I would assume was the same one that 15-year old Bob watched. I don't think it was a fansub, but translation standards for anime were lower in general back then.
