Bobby however must now pretend to be an expert in what looks to me like gothic architecture,

Gothic architecture represents a HUGE advance in both engineering and aesthetics -- and it was all due to man's desire to build houses tall enough to be fitting as God's abode. The Baroque decoration might not be today's taste, but you can't help but marvel how the artist made the monumental structure looks weightlessly floating and gyrating in mid-air. To use the material to represent the ideal, the earthbound to represent the transcendental, is a heroic quest that was motivated by
religion. This is a point that even Richard Dawkins grudgingly acknowledged; he just thinks that Science could have been a better motivator.
But this is all beyond Bobby's ken. Let's talk about art that is his level. Captain America doesn't endorse "America First" (
thread for the convenience of those who want to see the comics)

This is too perfect. If MOS isn't talking about Bobby I'd be sadder than Chris seeing Back To School campaigns in July.
Mark Wallinger does pop art?

Trash, trash, and more trash. There is trash for each sign of the Zodiac:
Vin Diesel vs The Elder One:
Angels on various directors. I'll just post Luke Lockhart's take in text form:
- NOLAN: what if the general vibe of industrialized Western society circa the early 2000s was representing as men in suits being esoteric
- LYNCH: what if the general vibe of Hollywood noir reflected both supernatural terror and a kind of weird softness at the same time
- COEN & COEN: what if the plot structure of a satire merged with the aesthetic of mid-20th century Hollywood
- WACHOWSKI & WACHOWSKI: What if the vibe of late 90s alt culture was super queer but we masked it with violence
- FINCHER: What if the broad gender and aesthetic politics of noir but in other settings
- SPIELBERG: what if I just tortured you, the audience, by stabbing you in your feelings repeatedly, and you gave me lots of awards for it
- SCORCESE: what if men were very intense and morally flawed and “1960s man” was a personality, that everyone had <please don’t be too harsh, I admit I don’t have a great handle on Marty S>
- TARANTINO: what if I paid people to say the N word so it was like it wasn’t me saying it Also what if movies were mainly about movies
- DEL TORO: What if I could somehow make pulp genres about people who are often not white straight American men and somehow Hollywood just kept giving me awards, let’s see if making this lady fck a fish will stop them
- BURTON: I have an aesthetic and I have given it to all the (white, skinny) goths, they can have it, please be grateful, also Helena Bonham Carter is lovely isn’t she here look at Helena Bonham Carter
- EASTWOOD: what if older white men had really sad and often violent experiences and I just showed you them
- ALLEN: what if i, a terrible human being, was also the default human being
- JOON-HO: what if capitalism could be represented with MULTIPLE architectural metaphors AT THE SAME TIME
- POLANSKI: what if there were horrible men who did sexual predation and being a woman or a man who didn’t think what I did was ok was terrif- oh sht did I meant THEM brb leaving country
- WAITITI: what if everything from superhero movies about genocide to historical movies about genocide was super witty
- BIGELOW: men are so violent, and interesting, and I kinda want them to kiss… don’t worry, I won’t go there…. OR WILL I
- KENT: I am going to show you fcked up sht about sad women with dead husbands
- SCOTT: <actually can’t think of anything pithy here>
- EMMERICH: here is the most jingoistic content I can produce while not letting you forget I am quite gay
- LUCAS: what if the stuff I liked as a kid, but you know, it looked cooler
- SNYDER: human bodies look really cool if you make them move against really cool backgrounds and sometimes show them getting absolutely WRECKED

Luke then passes the baton to Nymphomachy:
- SHINKAI: What if time passed and that was sad
- ALLEN: Did you know I am the literal most brilliant and desirable man in human history? Here is a snippet of me to whet your appetite
- SMITH (KEVIN): What if you sat down for a few hours and listened to me talk about nerd culture? Don't worry I have some great raunchy jokes too
- CRONENBERG: What if a human was full of bugs, like just a skinsack full of bug stuff
- SHYAMALAN: What you expected one thing, and then what you got instead was exactly the other thing? Also I'm really enthusiastic about white people and God
- APATOW: *coughing nastily after taking a hit from a bong* have you ever, hehehe, just, like, LOOKED at a dick? also women are fucking shrews lol
- RHIMES: what if a bunch of ethnically diverse, scowling troublemakers really, seriously wanted to fuck each other
Bobby explains, mindful that as a man he has no right to mansplain two other men:
Fiona Apple was
so traumatized by having to listen to two blowhards bragging for a whole night! (Blast

Biden's neurologists are worried:
Something about a woman called Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore and Kyle Kulinski.

I agree all these people are ridiculous and friendless, Bobby the most ridiculous and friendless of them all.
Dob Chipman? Do these pink globs have gender?
