All Eyes On: Moviebob

The purpose of the All Eyes On section is to expose my readers to other blogs that might be interesting. Today it's Bob "Moviebob" Chipman's turn. He is ostensibly a movie critic (and a good one) but he is also a nerd with a wide range of interests (Nintendo, comics, etc). But he comes off a few times as extremely liberal (even though, by his own admission, his political affiliation is "Whatever benefits me the most"). That rubs some people the wrong way. But he makes no apologies, and I can respect that. In any event, he is very interesting to me, and I enjoy his columns and videos. 

 Here is the link to his blog:

 And look up his videos on youtube. He has A LOT, so there's plenty of content to go through. Here's a sample:

Looking Back And Moving Forward Part 3

  Turn ON Your Brain - I stand by this. If a piece of media is engaging my mind is working to maintain that engagement. If the media is bad my brain is working to examine why this isn't working for me. So either way my mind is working. This Movie is Rated F For Fun - I'm not sure I got my point across well. Yes, a piece of media should not be boring, but there are many ways to engage with media. If it's not boring to you, then it did it's job of providing something to enrich you. I'll probably expand on this later when the opportunity comes again. Not-So-Jolly Rancher - I still haven't run into a good explanation for why this scene is here few people even talk about this. Will probably have to revisit this after some research. Zack Snyder v Public Record - i was all over the place with this. Need to keep my points tightly focused. At least Ben Affleck turned out ok. Redemption - pretty proud of this one. I probably should have given more examples, but those

Looking Back And Moving Forward Part 2

Non-Transformative : Ohh a pretentious title. That will get people reading. And surprise, we’re getting another Transformers movie. Good news: the director is not Michael Bay. Bad news: One of the producers IS Michael Bay. Not gonna lie, the trailer looks pretty good.   DOOMSDAY!!! : Wait, I predicted that Doomsday was cloned from Zod’s body and I was (mostly) right about that? One internet cookie for me! I however didn’t mention that it would be Darkseid that would take Doomsday and I can’t prove that was my thinking, so minus one internet cookie. Oh well, I’ll do better next time.   Why Writing : I meant to convey that good writing is super-important, and I did not do that. I’ll try to do better in conveying my points better.   Best Comment Ever (this week) : I don’t think I’ll bring this back, even though I thought it was a cool concept at the time. These comment were fire though.   I Wonder : no more short lazy ones like this, though my point still stands   Pil

A Perfect Storm

A particularly bad or critical state of affairs, arising from a number of negative and unpredictable factors. I know that starting out this article with the meaning of the title is pedantic and pretentious. But I also know that I don't particularly care. My reason is that this storm is a perfect counter to all the nonsense put out by trolls and idiots that say they don't want politics in the entertainment media they consume, whether it's video games, movies, music, books, etc. So, let's set the stage. Recently, Gal Gadot has stated that she would not play Wonder Woman again until Warner Bros. cancels all partnership with Brett Ratner. The link to the article is here .  Okay, for those who don't know who Brett Ratner is, he is the director of the Rush Hour films, X-Men 3:The Last Stand, and the Hercules film starring The Rock that nobody saw. He has also been the subject of sexual harassment allegations. My default state is to believe the victims for obvio
