I've not seen the Dark Knight yet (Yeah...) but it's the one film (apart from the Wrestler) that I'd go out of my way to see.
If that doesn't mean anything to the Oscars, then the Oscars don't mean anything to me.

Yay Moviebob on the escapist, want!
I...uh...liked...Transformers and X-men.
The accent bit was rather funny I've been trying to pick out what kind of accent that was and there I have it.
I was pissed about The Dark Knight too, I'm sure as hell going to be pissed more when they don't even consider Warcraft (2011 now, damn you Blizzard! one major game a year yet they can't rush the movie just a lil'?) so I've got my t-shirt and cat-ears waiting.
Edit: I also need a voice recorder program so I can angrily post my hate on youtube would anybody happen to know a free,downloadable one?
Edit2: I might go to hell for quoting this but Hey Moviebob how about you break a trend and become the first video maker to actively (I know SirSchmoopy posts but not very freqeuntly) be engaged in the site, huh? huh? Think about it...

I wonder if he usually edits it out, because his Boston accent was really pronounced.stormcaller said:
I think The Dark Knight is going to be the Watchmen of comic book films. Just like that book, everyone is going to copy it. And just like that book, they're going to copy the wrong stuff. They'll take the crazy villain but not the philosophy. They'll use the killing of main characters but without the moral weight.
I enjoyed it too, but I'm dreading the copy cats it's going to produce. Get ready for every single film to be dark and morbid for no reason other than money grubbing.

Very nice video. I always enjoyed hearing something more cultural than the average movie reviewer. I have to say I like the Boston accent, I've watched most of your stuff but I never pinned you as someone from Boston. I think you should use it more often, I'm assuming you go out of your way to not use it.
On an off topic note, will the game overthinker be moving here too, or is this solely a moviebob transition?

yep, he has another "persona" called the gameoverthinker who comments on game culturesv93 said:

I'm hoping he participates on the site.
Yeah the Escapist like letting people ride on their big boat made of money (No cookie for reference, but if you don't get it then you get a smack up-side the head)sv93 said:
That's what I'm hoping for, if it was truly the case I might scream like a small girl.gmer412 said:
He did say he was pissed off, but my god his accent really bled through on this one didn't it?orannis62 said:
However I assume he does normally edit it out, because this came pretty quickly considering his track record.
When you think about it what he says does seem very much true doesn't it? And while I could say that there hasn't been a sci fi film that is yet worthy of an oscar, there is some truth behind his words in my opinion.
Good Job getting a video on here on it's own Bob, here's to hoping you get OverThinker episodes on here too, I think they would spark some interesting discussion indeed.
MovieBob is always fun to watch when he gets going. But really, dude - if it took you this long to realize that the Oscars are just an expensive format for self-appointed cinema snobs to give press to movies they like but no one else gives a crap about, you haven't been paying attention.
We all still instinctively consider the Oscars some kind of objective measurement of movie greatness, which doesn't make any sense, since they've never been that and never will be. And honestly, how the heck could you even do that with art?
I guess we all just love the idea of classifying things into neat little good/bad categories so we can feel smarter for liking what other people think is good. But understanding that, you have to realize how lame that really is.
And honestly, the worldwide fans have spoken: The Dark Knight made a huge amount of money, and there's no doubt they'll keep making Batman fare. So unless you're somehow connected to the production staff that feels rejected by their peers, what these overdressed snobs think is pretty irrelevant.

It's about time Moviebob got his own place on the escapist. I never pay much attention to the Oscars but it definitely sucks that The Black Night isn't on there.
Hallelujah MovieBob has a place other than the tail end of The Escapist Show!
You know, I knew you were from Mass (I remember that Game Overthinker where Brady was the Knight and Manning was the Knave, amen) but I never caught the old "ah" as in "Ahctor." It was funny that you said "Bastard" without a hint of it though.
Hope your job isn't keeping you so busy you can't get more of these done regularly!
