Bob literally believes that not only does your preference in video game genre speak deeply of your character and moral worth as a person, but that when the Nerd Rapture (Singularity) comes those whose minds were shaped by the "right kind" of video game/fiction will inherit the earth. Like if Ray Kurzweil and Ignatius Reilly ran into each other at high speed and slammed together so hard they became a single person you'd have Bob

Nah, it has to do with real-world politics and keep referring to one section of people as the elite and the other as neanderthals. https://storify.com/Model_Omega/bob-moviebob-chipman As I said there, he's just a sad dude who identifies as the media he consumes, so it's kind of like there's a "right" way to do superhero films and then there's a wrong way (aka what Snyder does). But I'd be dollars to donuts that he thought Superman snapping a neck was the epitome of terrible. I'm not going to watch that behemoth of a video but it's probably something along the lines of what a Devin Faraci would write (and completely miss the point of the film).

Burkion posted:Frankly the Hobbit didn't need to be more than one movie. Just make it three hours and you're golden. Good post and, yeah, that's the real problem with the films because the first one was rather good except for the obvious padding to somehow make it a trilogy. Lot of good poo poo in the first movie (troll scene, riddles in the dark) and it's no coincidence that almost all of it is directly drawn from and faithful to the book.

Gore Verbinski has ditched Gambit, which just yesterday was reported to start shooting in the first week of March. That's three directors who have bailed on the project. lawl

I wonder what the hell keeps happening there. Like, with that many directors falling off it's gotta be Tatum who is the problem, right? The guy who is wildly miscast to begin with, but also post-Sony hack has been revealed to be exactly the dim but well-meaning bro he usually portrays?

The sad thing about Gambit is that if Channing Tatum didn’t have such a boner for the role, could have concievably been up for Shazam/Captain Marvel, which would have been perfect. I would absolutely buy him playing a kid inexplicably trapped in the body of a neigh-invulnerable superhero imbued with the power of the gods.

Zachary Levi is a huge dork and an inspired casting choice for Shazam imo.

RBA Starblade posted:This is a very sad and broken man huh I mean, the guy's entire M.O. with his video essays is to say "yes, the mass public has unassailable taste in these movies! Allow me to espouse how much I agree with these agreeable movies, and disagree with these disagreeable movies!" which is about as fallow and useless a take anyone can take on anything ever and just says to me that this is a person desperate for approval above any belief in anything. He isn't exactly taking something like, say, Masters of The Universe, and giving it a full-hearted defense. Imagine spending hours of your life culling something together that just says "I like what a lot of other people like/I hated what a lot of people hated!" Then there's the whole Super Mario Bros. 3 thing, and I think that probably clinches it.

He wrote an entire book, 200 pages, about Super Mario Bros. 3, in which he refers to the Nintendo/Sega 'console wars' as "my own personal Vietnam", and called the moment he saw Mario 3 for the first time as a historical event on the level of the JFK assassination and 9/11. He also admits he used the game (and games in general) to escape just about every awkward social situation he ran into and at one point admits awe over how people around him managed to deal with problems he simply couldn't handle in day-to-day life. Note that 3/4ths of this book is just him playing the game in a souped-up Let's Play. 150 pages of Let's Play Super Mario Bros. 3. There is no greater contextual statement made - how aspects of this or that in one level or another fed into later gaming, eventually becoming tropes and shorthand and technique, no points of view on the reverberations that went through the industry in the wake of its release, it's just ten pages on the history of Mario up to that point, forty pages about his childhood and how big Mario was in it (leading to the above statements), and then him endlessly talking about every. loving. Level. Not about the design, or how they were squeezing this or that out of a very limited amount of space, but just "then you bop this goomba, hit this koopa and kick this shell into this block to get the leaf and fly, where there's clouds filled with coins" and maybe a brief moment of synapses firing where he thinks about why they put the coins in the cloud, before shuffling on to the next thing you do in the level. Super Mario Bros. 3 broke his brain hardcore
