Sounded to me like he was doing an impersonation of a character from The Godfather.DustyDrB said:
lol, same here. I kept trying to figure out why he was slipping into a Boston accent, and wondering if I'd just never noticed it before. Got used to it though by the 3 minute mark.Wuvlycuddles said:
Good episode, though. I'm always interested in the comic episodes, since I don't really know much about them.
The biggest thing that keeps me from keeping up with comics has been location. There's a comic shop on my campus... all the way on the other side of the campus. And no bus goes near there. So hearing about the fact that the new 52 comics will be released digitally will be very helpful for me. And yes, comics have had an advertising problem for a while now. I only got back into comics because my local libraries have some big sections full of the collected volumes of story arcs.
Awesome! Bob's real voice! Me likey.
I think you have a point, but comics also tend to have more issues and go on for longer than the other media you mentioned. Okay, Dr Who has tons of seasons but you could technically consider each new Doctor some kind of reboot.
I think what would be good for comics is to actually end them at some point and start a new one. But I'm all for the commercial idea too.
On that note, here [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idCfan_nMhM] is a commercial for a French-language graphic novel. The text is in French but you can always look at the pictures, I guess.
I also see posters advertising BDs (that's how we call graphic novels here) all the freaking time. I've picked up lots of series due to simply seeing the poster in the subway or in the street. It works.
I do think we relate to sequential art differently though. Series get one release per year (50 or so pages) and it's pretty much always hardcover, for instance.

...I didn't know Bob had an accent.
As for the review, I'd like to get into the reboots... though it's gonna be kinda weird. I gotta look for my nearest comic book shop...
But I'm concerned that, like Bob said, this whole deal will start all over again because comic writers will fall into temptation to bring back old stuff, and readers will complain, forcing them to start over... etecerta etcerta.

Dear MovieBob
Did you put on that Boston accent as a joke or does it just come out when you're talking about comic books?
Sincerely,
Boston resident

Please don't develope a boston accent. Please. We'll start a fucking fund.
Oh, and good video, although you forgot to give massive amounts of crap for the comics books industry for all this bullshit. Still enjoyed it though.
