Careercow Robert 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

[Imposteroak]

Blobby tries to claim Gen-X status which he is not but is it wishful thinking or stupidity?

My pet theory is that he associates millennial liberals with being limp wristed soyfucked wimps, and he identifies more with the punk rock counterculture of the 80s and early 90s. He makes it a point (usually unbidden) that he isn't one of those pacifist lefties who only whines, he is from "Boston" where fights happen apparently. Whether he is aware of it or not, I think robert wants to be seen as a Henry Rollins type character, rather than some meek npr listening geek.

That and he tries to pretend like he grew up during the time when all the shit that's getting rebooted now was being made, and had always had his thumb on the pulse of pop culture. It's complete horse shit since one we know he cared about nothing but mario until his early teens basically. And two, the heady punk rock counter culture would have firmly been on the decline by the time his bing bing wahoo obsession subsided.

Executions do jackshit about crime rates, and given death row is a big waste of money, it's better to lock them in a tiny cube and you just record their screams.

How is paying for the end-of-life medical costs of a lifer less of a waste of money than a bullet?

Slight power-level here, but my father is/was a mechanical engineer like Chris and so old-school that he used a drafting board before AutoCAD became common place. It's quite the contrast between him and Chris. Dad's employer laid him off back when I was in middle school so what did he do before there was Twitter and Patreon? He started his own business and did his best to put food on our table. I can only imagine stress he must've been under--I mean, we were a two-income household, but he was determined to make it work. I hate to admit it, but I was more like Bob back then so I probably gave him a lot of unnecessary grief. Fuck, looking at Chris today makes me more appreciate for what my father did for my family so I guess that I'm thankful to Chris for being a complete loser.

I hope you've now gone called and your father and told him thank you for...

what you should thank him for.

In fact, I hope you all take a moment and thank your daddy if you can.

Those who are executed never re-offend and death rows are only expensive because of unlimited appeals. You could argue against execution on libertarian grounds but the truth is that any one of us might be murdered by government functionaries at any time with no consequences to them.

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

I hope you've now gone called and your father and told him thank you for...
what you should thank him for.

That is my top priority, believe me.

In fact, I hope you all take a moment and thank your daddy if you can.

Which is what Bob and Chris tragically can't do. I have theorized Pa Chipman to be a Boomer that couldn't fully understand Bob's choice to be a cultural critic with the education he paid for or his son's Mario obsession. If anything I imagine that he wanted Bob to be a director--anything that involved working in the industry rather than film skits with Chris in a clearing. My frame of reference is that my own father is one of my biggest champions for getting my published and helped me quite a bit to that end. He got me to talk to his pastor who then hooked me up with the publisher that published my book. I think he wanted Bob to succeed, but Bob was too stubborn to change his ways.

Also Bob saying why a movie should be made can be also said for the ideas for Stage 4, since the only films that'd even remotely matter is trying to make a good FF4 movie and some X-men. His shitty TV shows he justifies consooming only exist as Disney+ fodder and a desperate attempt to make product to lie to the investors. It'd be interesting to counter Bob with his own words and see if he even recognizes them.

It's not about the money or the crime rates.

It's about the fact that good, honest people do not deserve to share the planet with Ted Bundy.

The Esquire article is indeed a mess, not because it is non-partisan, but because it doesn't even define stupid apart from "what doesn't sound right to me". At one moment he seems to be complaining about sophistry and attempts to obfuscate with big words; at another he attacks Nancy Pelosi's plain old foot-in-mouth disease. On one hand he claims, "Stupidity is saying two plus two equals five. Elevated Stupidity is doing the same thing, except you invoke Pythagoras"; a few paragraph later, "Take any recent argument against the rights of trans people. Strip away the feints at empathy, dumb down the big words, and what you are left with, roughly 100 percent of the time, is 'But what if a boy puts on a wig and joins the girls’ soccer team, and then they win state?'" So you are stupid if you say 2+2=4.

Here's a nice scenario for Bob: he finally gets to transcend to his diabetes-ridden organic shell, only for a coronal mass ejection to create a geomagnetic storm that effectively erases his consciousness. Transhumanism won't protect us from a universe full of dangers that his smooth brain cannot to even fathom. A CME on the scale of the Carrington Event of 1859 could render such upgrades useless and I hate to say it Bob, even a virtual existence will require physical infrastructure that could be vulnerable to all varieties of natural disasters. Unlike you, Bob, I try to look at things from as many angles as possible. I doubt you could event grapple with the existential horror of having your consciousness copied and pasted or having someone hack what would effectively be your digital soul.

[MirrorNoir]

Bob's hapless GI Joe based analogy makes no sense whatsoever, no matter how you shake it. There's nofa king way that Republicans want to make a patchwork clone of long-dead Democrats in order to make "White Supremacist Serpentor" to replace drumpf. It's completely fucking stupid. Yeah OK I get bobby wants to use this gravedigging thing as an excuse to make an idiotic autistic exceptional reference to a GI Joe cartoon from 35 years ago, but holy shit man. (The Movie actually came after Serpentor was introduced in "Arise, Serpentor, Arise!")

Earth to ignoramus Bob: The Confederates were NOT Republicans. They fucking hated Republicans. Even to give this exceptional mindfuckery legitimacy and imagine that such a thing was possible, the reanimated patchwork clone would NOT run for the Republican Party.

Some extra deepest lore drops:

Serpentor was a result of some nasty executive meddling shit that happened in S2 of GI Joe.

The cartoon and comic had a long history in the early years of being quite different; in particular, the comic version of Cobra was more or less part SPECTRE by way of the the Nazis (minus the Nazi iconography) along with Hama venting his hate boner for G Gordon Liddy (who was the inspiration for CC) and Amway (which was run by right wing conservatives, where some of the biggest financial backers of Reagan and the Religious Right, and who's family tree includes the founder of Blackwater Erik Prince and Betsy Davros).

The comic set up Cobra's origin in the first year of the comic (which predated the first two mini-series prior to GI Joe going to full series in 1985), with it being a version of Amway that turned into a Nazi/SPECTRE hybrid. CC was a regular upper middle class guy who ran a car dealership and got tired of getting shitted on and broke bad. He started Amyway style pyramid schemes to lure in followers and then started recruiting criminal types with his profits for security (and wearing his trademark hood in the process to hide his identity once he started militarizing his followers) and then took over a small town and made it the base of operations for Cobra. Once Cobra was established, he used his status as a sort of minor criminal syndicate group to make contacts outside the US and found the Baroness; a member of the Red Faction Army in Europe that was on the rise with regards to her standing as a major terrorist. Baroness had all sorts of international connections, most notably her ex-boyfriend Destro; an arms dealer who was branching out into sci-fi tech and had become jaded with work and fallen prey to the notion that "why SHOULDN'T I use my own weapons to conquer the world?".

Around 1985, Hama retconned a lone dissenting voice in Springfield, a young kid named Billy who declined a chance to be rescued from Springfield so that he could try and find "his father" in the city into being Cobra Commander's son and that he had kidnapped his son when his wife threatened to leave him, prior to starting Cobra and that the REAL reason for him wearing a hood over his face was due to the fact that he had an arrest warrant out on him for child abduction and pretty much left Billy to run wild once Cobra started growing, with zero supervision or realization that his son actively hated him for what he became. Hama further weaved a convoluted backstory where Cobra Commander's proper start of darkness came when his beloved brother died while drunk driving/crashing into a car containing a married couple and their daughter, who were on their way to the airport to greet their son, who was coming home from Vietnam.... who turned out to be Snake Eyes and that the assassin that killed Storm Shadow's uncle was hired by CC to kill Snake Eyes because CC wanted to blame someone for his brother's death and decided to blame the sole surviving family member of the man who's family was killed off by his brother.

The cartoon ignored all of this, and more to the point ditched the idea of Cobra being anything BUT SPECTRE-lite. Furthermore, Cobra Commander quickly became a catty, campy bitch because writers found that it was easier and more fun to write CC as a comedic villain ala Yosamite Sam than as Hitler-lite like Hama wrote Cobra Commander. The only bits of details they gave about Cobra Commander the person was that A. He was disfigured (one episode in S1 has him share a meal with Destro, with CC making a remark about Destro having a strong stomach to watch him eat without flinching or vomiting) and B. that he went to military school of some kind (it's ambiguous if it was a college or high school military school), where he first found that he was a natural leader when he staged an insurrection against the school's administration.

The cartoon folks wanted to do their own origin story for CC and came up with one called "The Most Dangerous Man In the World". This story would have launched S2 and reveal that Cobra had gone dark on all of their current schemes and were searching for mysterious one man worldwide. Over the course of the five episodes, the origin of Cobra would be revealed: that they were a right wing leaning peace group that tuned violent/into a criminal organization hell bent on world domination, when their leader was killed. The show would then reveal that CC was a member of the group and for various reasons, faked the assassination of the founder of Cobra and held him prisoner until he escaped. The story would end with the true founder of Cobra still being at large but everyone thinking he was dead.

Hasbro didn't like this origin for it's political ambitions but DID like the idea of CC having an unseen boss and fasttracked the creation of "The Cobra Emperor". Hama and the cartoon writers HATED this idea, given that it overturned the entire lore of the franchise. Hama flat out refused to do anything with it leaving the writers to counterpitch the idea that the leadership caste of Cobra would have finally had enough of Cobra Commander and with help from new character Dr Mindbender, create a new leader to replace CC; who in turn would be kept around and be plotting to overthrow Serpentor for the bulk of S2.

Hasbro liked this and Hama tacitly agreed to introduce Serpentor; Sgt Slaughter however was a bridge too far and while Hama used him in one issue, he quickly dropped him as a character and used Storm Shadow as a replacement for the DNA stew to make Serpentor, as Storm Shadow was beginning his redemption arc.

However, as the GI Joe movie was greenlit, Hasbro pissed everyone off by demanding that they wanted their original idea of CC being a patsy for the "real leader of Cobra" done after all and as the plot of the movie. The cartoon writers tried to salvage as much as they could by creating "Cobra La" (which BTW was a placeholder name that Hasbro immediately loved) and presented the idea that Cobra was a front for a Lovecraftian race of bug/snake men and that Cobra Commander was a grey skinned sleeper agent who was disfigured in a lab accident that caused him to have 12-13 eyes appear on his face (which in turn was used to retcon the blank faceless battle helmet look, by revealing that the helmet was "specially designed with internal circuitry to help him focus all of his eyes so he that he could see normally and not go insane from having multiple eyes and seeing shit in every direction").

Fans hated the retcon and the movie, and Hama flat out REFUSED to acknowledge it or Cobra La in the comics period. The cartoon writers further retconned Serpentor's creation to that of Cobra La, claiming a female agent named Pythona "planted the dream to make Serpentor into Mindbender's head". Hama kept Serpentor around in the background and killed him off first chance he could.

Alan Moore is a SJW but god is he talented and the Watchmen is one of the greatest comics that anti SJW hypocrites are devided over due to Moore's politics and the works it inspired while others love it. Really the charm of Watchmen was it was standalone and was a comentary on if superheroes was real. Hell i think the movie was good because Solid Snake wrote the script and it was right up Zack Snyders alley tone wise. The only comic that surpassed the Watchmen is Batman Returns.

Doomsday Clock failed for two reasons:

1. Geoff threw out the entire planned storyline when Trump got elected and everyone in the comic industry went batshit crazy calling anyone they didn't like Nazis. So he rewrote the story to make it a commentary on such fear/hatemongering with a much stronger denouncement of Adrian Veidt AND Dr Manhattan for being horrible evil people who were the real villains of Watchmen

2. As part of this, he also fucked up by declaring "NO FUCKING CROSSOVERS"; which bit him in the ass and then some, as Dan DiDio got pissy that he was going to miss out on a big sales boost for the DC line. So he purposely let Tom King kill off/make into a murderer Wally West (fucking up any chance of a Wally/Doctor Manhattan showdown) and gave Supeman AND the Legion to Bendis, who fucked over Geoff's plan for Jor-El to be a patsy/slave of Dr Manhattan and the subplot from Rebirth where Saturn Girl was going to try and fix Manhattan's fucking with the timeline, as Bendis decided to create his own new Legion; forcing that plot thread to be aborted and a last minute insertion of the Bendis Legion in the final battle. And for added insult to injury, Scott Snyder was given TWO major minis to be the "official fix/finale for Rebirth" after Snyder agreed to do a story with a TON of tie-ins.

3. Geoff refusing to remove Gary "slow as fuck" Frank from the book, resulting in the delays.

1. SJWism is a grift and a profitable one at that, so they can't let it end

The problem is that if SJWism goes away you know the Neocons and the fundies are waiting in the wings to take over I mean all this talk smack to china reminds me back in 2002 Iraq war drums were pounding and the people who were doing the pounding were the war profiteers who are still in power right now. But this Wokism is giving them very good cover right now. Heck one could say that this whole SJW fad was a ploy from the top to give cover to the war profiteers but that's my IMHO.

Anyway back to the thread, Bob is a Dumbass

IDK, "Meth of the Earth" would work better than "Salt of the Meth", just sayin'.

 

[Sexy Peach Emoji]

I'm going out on a limb and posit he tried talking to Hotdog Abortion again, and was promptly shut down/ignored.

My pet theory is that he has been scrimping and saving, hooing to put together enough for a down payment on a home/condo/bridge, but something happened that
A) he had to spend his nest egg
B) doesn't qualify for a loan
C) seller picked another buyer

The only thing is that he said there isn't anyone to blame, which is very unlike him because he's so quick to anger and nurses a grudge like few I've met in real life. If either of those events happened, I can't see him not blaming someone.

 

[Brother Wind]

most notably her ex-boyfriend Destro

I fucking love this line. And the mental image it has given me is causing the worst case of giggling at work.

no, no Bob, NO. The Flintstones was a direct fucking ripoff of THE HONEYMOONERS, except the setting is prehistoric caveman days. I don't know what Film Studies professor told him it was "satirizing post-war CONSOOMPTION and appliances", but the person is a fucking brainlet, and Bob's just as if not more stupid for accepting that analysis.

IDK, "Meth of the Earth" would work better than "Salt of the Meth", just sayin'.

Okay so I have been avoiding this because I feel like it wasn't worth saying. But sometimes it can be two things.

But once again Bob is a brainlet. Was The Flinstones a satire of consumerism. Fuck no. Can you use it to illustrate the rise of consumerism and the way we viewed appliances in the 60s? Yes. Like pop culture doesn't exist in a vacuum. Nor does comedy. And thus you can tell a lot by what kind of jokes pop up. Its a very important tool for historians.

However, these are the things that get changed in a reboot, because they aren't subtext. They are just the culture. Its like how the easiest atheist take is that the Bible was written for some shepard in the Desert. Like, does that influence the message the Bible tries to convey? No. Just the Audience. Which is what Bob is messing up here. He is pointing out the ways a work would relate to an audience because of X thing. And then thinking thats the whole game. If that makes any damn sense.

Edit: okay to clarify. Al Lewis didn't play Grandpa Munster because he and some suits sat around and polished it. Instead he, the writers and director played around until they hit the image they wanted to convey. It probably looked like an old Jewish patriarch because that was a base they started from and everyone making the show understood and thus an audience would too.

To really clarify. Make fun of or like imitate a slow in the mind to yourself. What do you do? I do some kind of guh huh huh laughing noise. Because of old cartoons and the big dumb guys making duuuuuh noises. I figure some of you do the same. Others imitate Chris. Some of you still might imitate someone from your school. So on and so forth.

[mlanguishi]

Those who are executed never re-offend and death rows are only expensive because of unlimited appeals. You could argue against execution on libertarian grounds but the truth is that any one of us might be murdered by government functionaries at any time with no consequences to them.

The truth is those guys always appeal instead of going to death. The ultimate penalty is death. Every single one of these guys that talk about dying early or not at all, hates the death penalty the most. Even Kevin Underwood who pleaded for death is finding it kinda comfy in prison, and not as bad as death.

I'd rather a quick death if the state was going full Hitler, I'd think. Even if you did nothing, a life in prison can be worse. However, it appears, that at least with US prisons they'd rather live in there instead of a fast death.

"Amway but somehow even more evil" is the best backstory for a global terror/mercenary organization I've ever heard of. Never was a Joe fan, hadn't known this until now. Thank you, good sir.
