Especially watching his LPs he's really against militant SJWs. So, I'm sure Yahtzee just has a good chuckle at him once in awhile.

"Dumb states"
Said without a shred of irony.
Some tards ruminate about avocados. If human could save avocados from its seemingly inevitable extinction, they can do anything, including the Superior Future!
Why does he assume that avocados dying was the 'plan' and how does pure coincidence show that we have control over nature? Also, who's we Robert? You're not a geophysicist or seismologist, if anyone figures out how to predict and prevent earthquakes and volcanoes - and thus tsunamis - it sure as fuck won't be you. Bob likes to talk about humanity as if we're all some monolithic hive mind cause it allows him to feel like he's accomplished something. If 'humanity' -and not a specific set of people - did made leaps towards the Superior Future then his lard ass can feel all snuggly knowing that he's part of the group.

Yahtzee could (and should) quit the escapist and still maintain his level of success while the escapist goes bankrupt from losing their only consistent income source. Say what you will about Jim Sterling but him going independent was the smartest move he ever made

It's only a crime if it's done to non-white people. If it's done to white people (white men in particular) it's kosher.
Of course, if Bob looked in a mirror, he'd realize that he too is a white man (man in the loosest sense possible), and the mob would soon come for him.

MovieBlob always just goes with the flow. Literally can't conjure up his own opinions about things without bullshitting them. Of course he wouldn't like a black-led spy-fi film.
And black women are the least likely to see a Nolan film. I saw it at my local theatre, and it's not that amazing (with its questionable sound quality and release date), but it services as interesting entertainment.

I love how joyless Ellie troon is. A guy makes a simple mistake in his reference joke and he gets his head bitten off because he didn't autisticly know the setting of a DLC.
Bobs ignorance of the world is on full view here. He thinks LA is some glorious megalopolis of shinny skyscrapers made of steel in glass in an art deco style. In reality it has been called "a mass of suburbs looking for a center" or something like that I don't remember the exact quote but the point I'm making is obvious, Bob doesn't know anything about Urbanization. LA is the poster child for urban sprawl, outside the downtown area and Beverly Hills its an unsightly mess of cheap prefab houses and some of the worst traffic congestion in the country. LA is not something you want your city to turn into its not a model of the superior future or any future really.
Also Bob don't you live in the Boston suburbs and not the city proper? Doesn't that make you a part of the deplorables if you think suburbs are where civilization ends?
I think its more due to his hateboner for Nolan. In all his Tweets and videos Bob just fucking hates Christopher Nolan, the man could save an underage POC orphan from a burning building and Bob would still find some way to include some sort of spite toward Nolan. If anyone besides Nolan directed Tenet Bob would be slobbering all over it, calling it the direction James Bond and spy fiction should take in order to enter the racially diverse 21st Century. I don't know if his hatred of Nolan is due to his fanboyism for the MCU or if hes angry he can't understand Nolan's smarter than average blockbuster films.

The answer is both but more for the fact he is a big MCU fanboy and his belief only "Dudebros" like Nolan films and because of that, he hates it. There really isn't ever any real criticism of why he thinks a Nolan film is bad or subpar, but only just backhanded praise or vague reasonings like "Nolan can't do emotion". His review of Dunkirk made me realize how truly shitty of a film critic he is and requires either everything be spelled out for him or there being an action scene or quip a minute.

Ever since The Dark Knight, he believes that only dudebros love Nolan, and I think that because of that, he views Nolan's films as beneath him. He's probably too smoothbrained to actually think about a movie that doesn't have the most basic good vs. evil dichotomy, something that I don't believe any of Nolan's films engage in. His sour grapes over his poor life decisions giving him the betus that makes him deathly afraid of the Wu Flu and thus prevents him from seeing Tenet in theaters couldn't be more obvious either.
As I've had more time to ruminate on the film, I think I agree with The Critical Drinker's take. It's Christopher Nolan at his best and at his worst simultaneously. It has beautiful cinematography, amazing action scenes, and some truly great effects work, both practical and digital. On the other hand, the plot is all kinds of confusing, with many of the pieces not really making sense until much later in the film, if then. There's also less of an emotional core to attach to, with the Protagonist not really having any personal relationships that we as the audience can connect to, like Dom wanting to get back to his kids in Inception or Coop wanting to succeed at his mission not only to save humanity but also to return home to Murph in Interstellar. It's a very pretty and very convoluted film, but certainly worth a watch.
Regardless of its quality, I'm still enjoying Bob being butthurt over it.

Well when TDK released, Nolte stanned for it hard. He was absolutely in love with the film and went on about it in his review about how it was an allegory for George W Bush and the war on terror.
I don't remember if Bob was in the comments that time, but I know he saw the review and I know that soured him on Nolan for ever. Because if the troglodytes liked him? How can he be good.
I looked. Libertas has nothing past 2010, BUT Nolte did have his own website back then which HAS been archived back to 2007. I'm doing some digging now and look what I found...
The game is afoot!
EDIT: Hmm... TDK released in July of 2018...
EDIT2: Oh i just noticed this...
(I miss the mighty furious D, he was awesome - read his books.)
Bob's hatred for Nolan goes way back to the days of The Dark Knight. Back then, where the internet was young, social media consisted of myspace and blogs were were it's at, I first encountered blog as a conservative-leaning film site called Libertas. That is where the writer John Nolte (who is a huge conservative) started writing and in grand tradition of that old internet, all of us would mix it up in the comments.

TDK released in 2008. Nolte started writing for brietbart that year. I don't recall exactly if his review was posted on both sites or one vs the other - I do know that he talked about Batman before (especially after Batman Begins had released) on libertas and that is where Bob would show up - to my knowledge, bob has never appeared on brietbart.

Found some jackpots! From 2008, here are some classic bobs outside of his blogspot and on a conservative website. I'll put the title of the post in the spoiler tag. Note that on each of these, Bob commented twice. (also this will be my hunt for tonight, didn't find that watchman trailer post yet)

Watchmen is decidely anti-war, but it’s hardly “liberal.” If Alan Moore is one thing, he’s consistent in his generally negative appraisal of all human “groups” (his ‘heroes,’ when he has them, tend to be outsiders, outcasts and otherwise highly individualistic.) Without giving anything away, there are at least two characters in Watchmen representing pretty heavy (and still amusingly relevant) caricatures of “liberal” and “conservative” superheroes respectively - and they’re just about the most reprehensible people in the book.
As for Captain America… whatever you think of Hayter’s opinion, he’s not really suggesting anything radical in terms of the characters. There are two distinct “eras” of Cap, and Hayter’s vision more or less lines up with at least one of them. When he was first created in the 40s, Cap was an apolitical Nazi-smasher and not much else. Like most of the flag-costume characters of the time, he was much more a symbol than a character (though the “90 lbs weakling turned supersoldier” backstory made him probably the closest to a fleshed-out human being.) When the war ended, so did Cap’s relevancy and the book was canceled after a few unremarkable years tooling around as a Commie-hunter in the 50s.
In the mid-60s, the character was revived via a “frozen since the war” plot device (the anti-communist 50s Cap was later “revealed” to have been an imposter who later goes insane and becomes a white-supremacist supervillian - really) and awakened in the “modern” world, resulting in a characterization that has now been the default mode of the character for the majority of his existance. It’s this version that Hayter is more-or-less channeling: He’s a John Wayne hero walking around in a Clint Eastwood world, a living anachronism who has to face the questions of himself and others as to what he (i.e. he the giant walking FLAG) actually represents now.

i.e. “The Captain” story arc (MAJOR if very, very old comic book spoilers follow)…
It more-or-less went down like this: The Government decides to remind Cap that, technically, he’s still under standing orders to obey them going back to his WWII origins and that they’re planning on cracking the whip a bit more often now in terms of what superhero “duties” he can and cannot officially undertake. Not just that, but they remind him that the uniform and identity “Captain America” belong to THEM, and if he doesn’t like it they can quite legally hand the mantle to someone else who’s better at following orders.
He won’t agree to these terms, as he believes in fighting for what’s right and not what helps or hinders one policy or another in the short term (this is the constant theme of Gruenwald’s Cap stories: That Cap was “made” for WWII when we had a pure evil to fight and everyone was on the same page, and doesn’t quite ‘fit’ in a modern world of political infighting. Sappy, but effective) but he also believes that the Cap identity and symbol shouldn’t be seen by the public as something being fought over or at odds with the government. So he agrees to relinquish the shield, uniform and name.
The Government (technically a presidential commission that seems a little on the shady side) gives the Captain America name, uniform etc. to a new recruit named John Walker (no, really) who was formerly a crazed, far-right militia type vigilante called Super Patriot who the real cap had taken out awhile back. Walker-as-Cap tries his best, but he gets in WAY over his head pretty quickly as events conspire to turn him back into a crazed, rogue vigilante. Meanwhile, original-Cap Steve Rogers gets himself a new costume and gets back to crimefighting as “The Captain.”
Just about everything is eventually revealed to be the result of supervillian chicanery, and aside from a few deaths in the supporting cast everything finally gets back to normal: Rogers becomes Cap once again, officially and on his own terms, while Walker redeems himself and stays on - in Rogers’ “The Captain” costume - to work with the Pentagon as a kind of “covert Cap” called “US Agent” (really.)
If this ISN’T the plot of the second Captain America movie, someone is asleep at the wheel.

You can’t swing a dead cat in a comic store without hitting something from the indies with a writer/artists throwing that unique brand of screwed-upness that comes from a Catholic upbringing. Always the same stuff over and over: Secret church ninja squads, fetishism for Catholic visual opulence in costume design, dutifully trotting out old saws like The Spear. Dime a dozen.
That said, being also raised Catholic and walking around with most of the same issues, scars and hangups these creators probably have, I’ll be there. Sexy warrior nuns with swords? That’ll do.
The Spear of Destiny, for what it’s worth, is more or less “real.” It’s also called The Spear of Longinius, and is supposed to have been the tip of the weapon that pierced Christ’s side during the Crucifixtion. Charlemange is supposed to have carried it in battle, under the notion that whatever nation holds the Spear control the world. Hitler had it in his occult/magic collection during WWII (you could fill twenty volumes with the comic stories that have been grounded in THAT alone, in DC it’s the catch-all excuse for why Superman etc. didn’t just take out the Nazis personally and it’s shown in the first Hellboy movie) and it was reclaimed by Patton (who knew what it was on sight, of course) and returned to a museum in (I think) Austria. It’s on display, you can go see it. Off and on during the 20th Century, The Church has claimed that THIS Spear is false and that they have the real one - but no one gets to see it.

“More accurately, that would be the “unique screwed-upness that comes from rejecting a Catholic upbringing”, such as you have personally demonstrated on numerous occasions.”
Dude, it has nothing to do with rejecting or not - say whatever you will about Catholicism, it’s ability to inform it’s creatively-inclined adherents AND ex-adherents with loopiness is unparalelled among world religions… only Hinduism comes close. In terms of religiously-informed genre films ALONE, Catholicism can be thanked/blamed for The Exorcist, Dogma, Hellboy, Blade, Dracula… there’s no comparison. And in comics? When Protestants and Jews are writing the comics, we get Spider-Man and Dick Tracy. When the Catholics get involved, we get busty ninja-nuns in fetish gear stabbing demons with The Spear.

“As I have said before, there are plenty works of art that still apply to things they never could have imagined when they were created. They were not intended to apply to today, but they do because they tapped into certain truths.”
Agreed. I’m not expecting the nigh-innevitable “simmer down” from the guy who actually made the movie to change anyone’s mind about paralells… but I’d hope it’d stop people from putting words in his mouth.
See, I’ve got a semi-personal investment in this. I want more Batman movies. Lots more. And more comic/genre movies in tandem. I want to see the whole of the blockbuster moviescape dominated so completely by Geek Culture that it chokes the very life from almost everything else. And if Hollywood looks at this MASSIVE blockbuster and gets the idea (which also happens, conveniently, to be THE TRUTH) that listening to the “geek set” and targeting them can be a good bet… I get that. But if it becomes a “meme” that Dark Knight is breaking bank because the same savages who block-bought “Passion” into a hit are propping it up? (Which happens to be, y’know, demonstrably untrue?) Yeah, opposite effect.
