CareercowRobert 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
Robert Chipman, hard edged pragmatic man, believes is brutal societal evolution and that the world is divided between those who deserve a superior future and those who should be branded with a scarlet letter.
He also cries over staged photos with kids made by self-satisfied parents using their own children as proxy for scoring some good guys internet points.
I wish these parents would knock it off with this bullshit. We know these kids don't know who the fuck Chadwick Boseman was, and seeing that they are just toddlers, they barely remember the Black Panther movies if they ever got to sit down through the whole thing.
Same shit that soy asshole posting pictures of his very young daughter watching She-ra and crying (him, not the kid). They are your kids, not toys to parade over the internet, showing how they already have the correct tastes in pop-culture to be in the "right side of history".
Also, Robert talking about how deeply hurt he was when Jim Henson died? Bullshit. By the time Henson died, Robert was about 10, way past the age to care about seasame Street, and not to mention that the show was on re-runs almost for a decade and Henson wasn't all that well known anymore. people only get to know or care about whoever created the entretainment when you were a kid when they are well into their late teens or so.
Same shit with Miyamoto. No one knew he even existed during the nes era, or cared. it is just now that guys like Robert act as if he was a childhood hero to them when they only found out he existed way later, but now act as if they have this wholesome love to them.
This fucking tard. You're not being executed for crossing the border in Skyrim, you're executed on suspicion of being a terrorist because you crossed the border during a Stormcloak ambush, and the Empire mistakenly thinks you were part of it. This is explained in the first five minutes of the game.
The Empire BARELY tolerates the Nazis (the Thalmor, who to be fair, ARE deliberately modeled after Nazis) due to an uneasy military balance of power. LITERALLY EVERYONE hates the Thalmor High Elves, including regular High Elves. Whether the Stormcloaks or the Empire win the civil war, there's every indication that the winner will be bringing the fight to the Thalmor very, very soon, because the Thalmor are assholes.
And the entire point of the civil war is that there is no "good guy". Both the Empire and the Stormcloaks have a legitimate point, but also have their problems. You could probably say that the Empire represents pragmatism while the Stormcloaks represent principle, but even that isn't always clear cut. Sorry the bad guys and good guys didn't wear color coded black and white hats so you knew who to root for.
I have never been so convinced that these people have never even played the games they complain about.
Plus the comparisons are even weirder when you consider the Thalmor's actual plans involve "unmaking reality" as they believe the destruction of Mundus would allow them to revert to being the spirits that all the races are descended from. In order to create, the gods and those spirits had to give up their immortality and as a result, multiple Elven religions view Lorkhan as an evil trickster for getting them to agree to this. I'm not too big on the lore to say for certain but it seems your average Thalmor may or may not be aware how omnicidal the beliefs are and just think they're in for generic racial supremacy.
So really not sure how they factor into that "Neolib empire vs alt-right Nazis" comparison. I wish I had a 2 billion IQ.

I believe in the original Zelda credits Miyamoto was due to a translation error credited as "S. Miyahon". I only remember that because Homestar Runner referenced it.
Pretty Cringe, you mean. I think racist Bob here is forgetting the POC representation in the Elder Scrolls. The brown Redguards, who walkedabout from a previous Kalpa. The Argonian Sithis Respecters. The blue people who CHIM. And orcs, who smear shit on their skin.

Actually, a ton of Nords are always posting in A&N about how Kadjhits are all hopped up on moonsugar and play Cat Polka out of their caravans all day. Every post is like "A day doesn't go by that I don't dream of shoving my two handed axe into a Kanigga's skull. Every single day all they do is stalk slow, eat pounds of sugar, and complain about all the free land and wealth we gave them in our homelands. Mark my words, the only reason these parasites are here is that the empire has their furry little golems do all the dirty work for them."
Nah most “woke” people who really do hate stormcloaks know what the thalmor are doing and they like it. They its good because nords and racist baddies
I bet this thread actually helps Bob’s ego. I know a multiyear project to psychoanalyze me would stroke my ego
Just as a hypothetical, if Shapiro offered to debate Bob, what would win: his desperate thirst for exposure, or his crushing fear of being challenged in a venue he doesn't control?

That is a very "flying pigs" scenario but even so I think it is easy to say Robert would never agree to have any sort of debate or real time interaction with Shapiro.
as an "enlighten" European, eurovision is a joke. We still hate each other guts but we don't fight each other as it is too costly.
I also notice that Bob rt his own goddamn tweets after 12 hours. who do things like that?!
There is no way that he picked TrueMetis out at random. TrueMetis, for those who don't know, is a true and honest Bob fan. TrueMetis was one of the few vocal supporters of Bob when Bob cried that viruses should attack only his ideological opponents. Spedsnaz saw him pop up in this thread and went after him because of that. You cannot convince me otherwise. And just to cut what is the obvious argument off at the knees
Believe it or not I just made that account to follow jreg twitter accounts. I don’t really care about politics or appearing “reasonable”. In fact if people think I’m a psyop, that’s pretty cool. I’m very much interested in how society is “post-truth”. Call me a proto-Bob all you like, I try not to take it too seriously.
I designed the account to look fake cause I think its funny.
tl;dr
"lol jk bruh"
I remember a certain someone else who uses that as a go to excuse to excuse their shitty, spergy behavior...hmmmmm
Speaking of Lindsay, I now no longer care about the alleged email where she denounces Bob. Even if it's real, whoop-di-shit. You've soured it and poisoned with your exceptionalism @John Spetsnaz. All of this does nothing but help Bob, a man you're so angry with/afraid of that you went to therapy, gain misplaced sympathy and some credibility because NOW he really does have a creepy weirdo stalker. Good work mate! Keep it up! I'm proud of you!
That's because they don't play the games. Billy-Bob tried to compare Skyrim to Dark Souls in one of his more smoothbrained and impulsive whinefests he made.
Y'know, Bob, if you weren't in such abhorrent physical condition, you could actually go outside and do things without being deathly afraid of catching the Wu Flu. You could even--gasp--do your supposed job!
Being a healthy skeleton myself, I'll do his job for him, for free no less.
Tenet was...confusing. I'm no mouthbreather and I generally don't have a problem with following a movie's plot, but this one's probably going to take another viewing or two before I can fully digest what I saw. It's mostly due to trying to keep your brain wrapped around the rules of the world and what you're seeing on the screen.
I'll go into some additional plot spoilers below, so don't click if you care about that:
So apparently at some point in the future, a method is devised to reverse an object's entropy, effectively sending it backward through time; this method is called "inversion." Some scientist woman extends this concept and creates "the Algorithm," a device (I think?) to invert the entire planet. But she realizes that this would probably straight-up destroy the whole earth, so rather than delete fucking everything, she decides to invert the Algorithm itself and send it backward through time so that no one will be able to use it. I think. Or maybe it's the future dicks who sent it back. I'm still a little fuzzy on all this, the explanation went by very quickly.
Anyway, some dicks in the future decide that they're gonna fuck up past Earth with the Algorithm because apparently the future world sucks and is all polluted and shit, so they want revenge on the past for making their present shit. There's no telling whether this will end up causing future Earth to cease to exist (grandfather paradox), but apparently they either think it'll be fine or they just don't care. Fuck if I know.
So the future dicks send a bunch of gold back in time to Russia just after the Soviet Union collapses, and they recruit a kid who finds it to recover the Algorithm for them. This kid becomes an arms dealer, Sator (Kenneth Branagh) who uses the inverted supplies sent back in time to construct "turnstiles," machines that can invert anything that goes into them. By the time of the movie he already has most of the pieces, just needing a couple more.
The movie begins with the Protagonist (John David Washington) stumbling upon a piece of the Algorithm during a mission, but the mission goes wrong and he tries to commit suicide by cyanide pill. The pill's a fake, he gets rescued, and he's recruited into the shadowy organization Tenet. He learns about inversion and investigates the source of some inverted bullets, teaming up with Neil (Robert Pattinson) to find out who's working with the future dicks.
A lot of stuff happens along the way, but the gist of it is that they find out Sator's behind it all, and that he intends on activating the Algorithm at the same time as he commits suicide (he has pancreatic cancer and also it's revenge on his wife Kat (Elizabeth Debicki) for trying to flee with her son). A big battle scene is the climax of the film, and the Protagonist and Neil manage to disarm the Algorithm and save the day, while Kat kills Sator and gets her revenge on him.
In the end, it turns out that a future version of the Protagonist is the leader of Tenet, and he recruits Neil in the future to help the past version of himself in stopping Sator's plan. Neil realizes that an inverted version of himself died in the process of helping the Protagonist just before the Algorithm was set to activate, so he leaves to meet his fate in a bittersweet moment. The movie ends with the Protagonist saving Kat's life when others were attempting to kill her for knowing too much about everything.
There's a lot I'm leaving out, but that's just how dense the plot is. I had to look up a plot summary on Wikipedia to write most of this, and I'm still not sure about a lot.
Visually, it's a beautiful movie, and I'll be very interested in behind-the-scenes stuff about how they pulled off some of the more complicated shots in the film. In particular, the 747 crashing into the building is an incredible sequence, and well worth the price of admission when you realize that they actually did that. All of the inverted fight scenes were mind-boggling but stunning to watch. A variety of incredible locations make it a real globetrotting adventure.
Cast was great, John David Washington and Robert Pattinson were excellent leads that played off each other well. The score was engaging, although I wonder how it might have turned out if Hans Zimmer hadn't passed on this to do the Dune score.
Overall, definitely a movie you'll want to see on the big screen, but it's not something you can turn your brain off for. There's a lot of movie and a lot of runtime, and you're gonna need to pay attention if you don't want to end up wholly lost (and even then, you still might).
I should be better than this, but I still derive some sort of perverse glee that Bobby is gonna miss out on a movie that truly deserves to be seen on the big screen, all because the lardass couldn't help but eat himself into the betus.
Eh, after reading a plot summary of that novel, not really.
From my understanding, the novel involves white supremacists traveling back in time to change the outcome of the Civil War through modern, yet still conventional, weaponry. The inverted weaponry in Tenet is considerably different, essentially reversing cause and effect to a normal observer.
As shown in the movie, when a normal person fires a gun that will be loaded with inverted rounds, the bullet travels from where it impacted back into the gun. From the bullet's perspective, it was fired normally. An inverted person shooting an inverted gun will see things working as expected.
If an inverted round passes through a normal person, it causes some sort of temporal damage that is almost guaranteed to be fatal, unless you invert the person and treat the wound in inverted time. This happens in the movie and gives one of the first "ohhhh now I get it" twists along the way.
Other cause-and-effect flips that are mentioned include feeling air pressure behind you when you're running forward (as opposed to in front of you) and fire causing hypothermia due to the inverted heat transfer. You also can't breathe normal air when inverted because your lungs won't be able to process normal oxygen. A lot of these explanations went by very quickly, so I'm doing my best to explain all this from memory.
With regards to overall plot, yeah, similar sort of "change the past" time travel story, except future dicks want to just wipe out the entire planet from existence. Either it's for vengeance for fucking up the future world; or they think that by inverting the past Earth, they'll prevent the pollution from happening in the first place, and future Earth will be fine. Or they just don't care if it wipes them out because fuck it, future Earth sucks and nobody wants to live there anymore. The motives in this were pretty murky, and I don't know if watching it again will make it easier to understand or not. There was a lot of shit to unpack in the movie, and even after digesting it for a day, I'm still somewhat confused.
