Make of that what you will.

I'm unsure if she genuinely doesn't care about Movieblob or if she just wants to avoid getting into Blob's war on KF.

I'm unsure if she genuinely doesn't care about Movieblob or if she just wants to avoid getting into Blob's war on KF.

From what I gathered from those exchanges it's likely the latter. Wu is at least smart enough to see that even if she could avoid sperging out like so many who find their own threads, interacting with us in any way would only ever expose her.

Could be both, honestly. Not caring about Blob is an easy state to achieve.

Edit: Naomi also has a hell of a lot more to lose by letting us try to pull skeletons out of her closet or otherwise going anywhere near the name Kiwifarms. Blob can only go lower if he buys a shovel and works for once in his life.

she actually has her own thread and posted in it; far from sperging out, she seemed polite and civil

No I agree, she was very civil and composed. But just showing up was an exercise in being peppered with a long string of painful questions that didn't earn her anything but the chance to be seen dodging painful questions. She knows better now, to say nothing of knowing not to get wrapped up with the likes of Moviebob.

Bob thinks that the twinks at the TeeHee are gonna buy him jalapeno poppers to break the ice. Hold this bucket for me please.

 

[Smithfield Ham]

Every time a military action is carried out, Bob reacts with either glee or apathy. The idea of brutally murdering people is something that sparks absolutely no empathy in him. That should give you a hint what kind of person he is.

The Frasier reboot is supposedly going to be the opposite of Blob’s conjectures. Early word has Frasier moving in with his blue collar son Freddie, who serves as the down-to-earth Martin foil to fussy Frasier.

How Blob thinks Dr Crane is going to become some kind of Jordan Peterson figure is as hilarious as it is dumb and proves he never watched the show.

If Bob's looking for a classic show revival that fits with his insane worldview, he should check out the Murphy Brown reboot that's all about what great people journalists are and how they're victimized by working class rubes, but it's okay because they live awesome lives and get to hang out with Hillary Clinton! He'll only get to watch one season, though, because it flopped flat on its smug, botox-injected face.

How does anybody love this eugenics loving idiot, especially enough to go to his convention?

Moviebob used to be a go to content creator I went to for years. His taste in movies moreorless align with mine and I also went to film school, so I appreciated someone with the same taste looking at the same things I liked with the kind of insight I wanted to see.

There was a time when he seem to put on a more moderate hat (he came across as a Destiny tier Liberal) relative to his twitter feed. It was his insanely cringe Terminator pitch that put the nail in the coffin for me and I couldn't ignore his Mask Off liberal psychosis anymore (as well as generally just growing up and being soured on movies in general).

I think his appeal is mostly the expertise he brings to things that obsessive media consoomers don't get else where. For a demographic that deifies credentials, having someone treat capeshit baby movies with the same sweeping praise and thoughtful critique they only think Sundance or Cannes film festival entries receive validates their obsession as being more prestigious than they actually are.

I think there's lots of little nuggets of interesting ideas you could gleam out of the things that CinemaRobert is autistic over, but none of those nuggets would really appeal to either the Blob himself or his audience. It's also enormously easy to analysis these properties relative to something like Tarkovsky or Kurosawa, the former of which in order to fully understand his filmography you need to have knowledge of things like Russian cultural nuances as well as the reccuring series of images that Tarkovsky employs to get his messages across. This is far more difficult than "guy with cape=good, guy with spooky music overture=bad and why trannys are actually great" tier content he has made a career on.

I've noticed that critics and the like absolutely hate media that takes itself seriously, even if it's over the top grimderp. And to some degree I understand it since grimdark stuff attracts some terrible fans, but their hate goes beyond that, to where they seem to think that the existence of serious media is a crime. I'd be interested in knowing their justifications for thinking like this, but if I had to guess I'd say they prefer campy humor and marvel tier snark and on some level this makes them feel inferior to people who like "serious" media, and they hate it because of that.

I'd say it's the opposite, but for the same reason. They're too cynical and jaded to enjoy anything without feeling insecure.

Self aware nods and winks to the camera make them feel smart (I get that reference!), and they don't have to worry about damaging their image. (It's a men in spandex punching criminals, but ironically!)

I vaguely remember during GamerGate, some game journo or anti-GGer had a mini breakdown on Twitter, the pressure of liking something "problematic" and "childish" while pretending to hate it eventually broke him.

We see this with Bob and his "ironic" appreciation of films like SuckerPunch and She Wolf of the SS.

Blockbuster...it was fun for its era, but it bit the dust because it couldn't keep up with the times.

Blockbuster itself wasn't special at the time. It only has nostalgia to a certain generation as the place you went to every Friday after school to rent a movie/game for the weekend.

I am incredibly late with this post, but since I couldn't find any posts that dove into detail on this, I figured I could burn off some poorly-timed caffeine by breaking down one of Bob's most famous personally relevant tweets.

This post is a masterpiece. Well done.

I now know why the staff at McDonalds were angry when a school field trip went in on a whim.

Hm, makes sense. I guess it's easy to forget that in spite of his constant preaching and smugness, Bob is probably horribly depressed and angry all the time, and watching capeshit is his only escape. I'll admit, watching a simple movie about a cool good guy beating a bad guy is fun, but for it to be the only thing he has to look forward to is really sad to think about.

On the topic of references and self aware jokes in media, when you really think about it the MCU and films like it are essentially simulating a conversation with the audience, where the characters are joking and laughing alongside the audience. And given how many antisocial manchildren there are around these days, that's a very effective strategy and it goes a long way to explain why people like Bob take it so seriously.

Yeah I remember going to Blockbuster with my father and looking at all the movie boxes, which was interesting because there were a lot of shitty/B-movies that I'd never heard of before that were intriguing to look at. I also remember their large candy collection. But since my parents weren't retards the candy was just for viewing, not for buying. I feel no burning desire for a time when Blockbuster existed—just a "Oh yeah remember Blockbuster? Funny times those were." The Chipman obsessions seem more rooted in Blockbuster being a location to socialize with other people who were around a bunch of movies all the time, rather than some lost piece of Americana. And that's just sad.

Blockbuster seems to be the Chipman version of The Game Place. It was a place of interaction, of meaning, of being part of something--whether it was working the counter at Blockbuster or participating in a Pokemon league at The Game Place, it stuck as a place of relevance.

But Blockbuster was a whole chain, so the Chipmans' weird brand loyalty thing stuck on it and allowed a video rental place to assume an outsized importance in their vision of the American cultural landscape. How Bob and Chris see Blockbuster must be how everyone sees Blockbuster!

They'd probably be a lot happier if Bob had gotten his first job at some chain that's still open, like McDonald's.

The puzzle piece I gave this post was not for you, but for Bob. Because holy shit how does this tard not recognize a joke when he sees it?

I actually understand the Game Place autism more than Blockbuster, though. The family-owned independent games store where you spend formative years is a place that sticks out for its unique nature. There's no place that's the same as it by definition, so nostalgia is understandable. But Blockbuster? You could go down the road and find the same underpaid employees and a similar movie collection. It's like GameStop or Pizza Hut (and, yes, I know FilmRobert has a somewhat similar obsession with Pizza Hut). And in the end, Netflix (or just pirating) will always be infinitely better than Blockbuster unless you're trying to find more obscure films. But there's nothing Bobert wants to watch that isn't on Netflix, so I guess that's a moot point. It's not like Bobby was a weekly attendant at the Brattle Street Theatre in Cambridge before covid.

When I was growing up, our little Podunk didn't qualify for chain store presence, so "our" Blockbuster was Family Video Center, a Mom n' Pop rental place that operated out of what had been the office trailer for a used car lot that ran the property before them. Only room for 2 rows inside. When video game rentals became a thing, they were put out of business by a place up the road called "Mikes Movies" who had enough floor space to do both. It eventually grew to regional chain status with about 5 stores in various towns eventually diversifying into appliances and music (the mall location was "Mike's Music" , before the digital music/game revolution of the early 00's put them under for good.

I have the same level of childhood nostalgia for them as Bob does for BV for the same reasons: it was where you got a treat every Friday night if you were a well behaved kid all week and you might run into some friends....

But, if made aware of that, Bob would denounce my experiences as those of an uneducated proto-white supremacist, ignorant and forever out of touch with "Real" people due to stunted growth from not having the fortune to be graced by cosmopolitan big business.

Although our motives and experiences were more or less identical, he wont' abandon the notion his were better because he was served by a CORPORATION and not his rinky-dink neighbors.

It will never not be funny to me that the founder of netflix tried to sell out to blockbuster for a fraction of what it's worth today but the ceo of blockbuster turned the deal down because he thought streaming was a dumb idea because people would miss the experience of going down to the local blockbuster.

If you look into their history, Blockbuster actually was trying to create their own streaming/video-on-demand service as early as the year 2000. It even involved Enron as a partner.

Blockbuster did seem to have some grasp of what the future was going to hold. It just came way quicker than they expected. Combine that with an array of bad business decisions and other changes in the home entertainment market (like the DVD overtaking the VHS), it's no wonder why they went belly up.

I actually understand the Game Place autism more than Blockbuster, though. The family-owned independent games store where you spend formative years is a place that sticks out for its unique nature.

The problem with a lot of these nostalgia spergs, whether it be regarding places like the Game Place or Blockbuster, is that they're placing the nostalgic value on the wrong thing. One of my childhood rituals was my friends and I having one of our parents take us to see a newly released movie every Friday night after we got home from school. We would usually get pizza at a restaurant that was located in the same strip mall as the theater was, and when the movie was over we would walk around the strip mall for a little bit.

The value in those memories are not in regards to the pizza place, the movie theater or the strip mall. It's not even in the movies we watched. It's the fun memories I have of hanging out with my childhood friends, those other things are just part of the scenery.
