If Bobby Roberts wanted to build himself up as an actual brand in the filmworld, he wouldn't spend so much time trying to get validated on Gaf.

But his insane jealously of others around him more successful is great.

Bobby Roberts is easily the most fascinating character in all of GAF. The ego, the insecurity, the fake black. Very intriguing guy, would watch a prestige drama based on his life.

Yeah what a bunch of losers that didn’t go to prom







😰

I went to prom both years. And the first year I actually went with a girl:patel

I went twice. First time was with a thicc busty brunette where we grinded and danced to NYC style hard house, that was pretty cool. Second was with the girl I was dating at the time, I was a sophmore in college and so I flew back up to Buffalo to see her, the relationship was nearing the end of its life though so it was pretty awkward, I didn't know any of her friends and the music wasn't nearly as good.
^_^

I went to my junior prom with two girls, danced the night away. Senior prom I went with a girl I was totally in love with and she didn't like dancing so we basically just sat there while I contemplated my life decisions. I thought I was going to marry that girl.  :lol

What ever happened to LKBAP? He was one of the OG virtue signalers on GAF but I haven't seen him post in forever. Maybe I e simply gotten better at avoiding him? Last I remember seeing of him, he seemed like he was actually starting to feel a little hung over from all that socially justicey brown liquor. Did even he have enough of GAF?

These are the things I think of when I have sightly more than usual regular brown liquor. Can I get some pity likes?

edit: HA! Take THAT, word filter!

Gaf became to fanatic for him and he ran away, the fucking coward. But he just came back. It's good to see him back in action.

These new kids can learn a lot from him.

He actually popped up in an outrage of the week thread after nearly a year absence from the forum and posted something like "holy shit you people have lost your minds while I was gone" somebody linked it on here.

I don't know if he ever worked his way back in with the new mob that runs OT or anything though. Adjusted his views properly, etc.

Bobby Roberts is easily the most fascinating character in all of GAF. The ego, the insecurity, the fake black. Very intriguing guy, would watch a prestige drama based on his life.
Okay, but you would watch a prestige drama that he wrote and directed and starred in?

Because I'm only seeing this working if we grant him all that to get the definitive cut, and then like I or Atra (or both of us) step in and edit it afterwards for normal human consumption.

It's even worse than that, Harry's review in 1998 would have been something he posted on his website and was only paid attention to within circles that came off of newsgroups. He didn't "ascend" until the dot com boom made him into the normal media's "INTERNET GUY" they'd bring on for that specific role and it'd be a few more years before he was anything but an ascended newsgrouper/forum poster/fanboy/etc. (I mean, to the guy's credit, he's never really tried to be more than that, but I mean in terms of how the rest of the industry treated him.) That was how he wound up on Ebert's show after Siskel died and they were rolling through a different guest host every week until they decided on Roeper and he was one of the LOOK, FROM THE INTERNET!!! guys they brought on along with a few other "outside the published film critics" people they tried.

But he's always been more of an internet presence, I don't believe he's ever published outside Aint It' Cool News? Maybe a brief syndicated run as a test in those free papers every city has like Bobby Roberts works for?

Quote
Ain't It Cool News was launched in 1996, and its name is attributed to a quote from John Travolta's character in the film Broken Arrow.[2] Knowles began surfing the Internet while recovering from a debilitating accident in 1994. He spent a lot of time in newsgroups exchanging gossip and rumors about upcoming films, eventually creating his own Web site as part of his Internet hobby. A principal offering was Knowles's colorful movie reviews, but the primary distinction from other sites was the (ostensible) insider news articles. Production Assistants, people in the industry, secretaries and other behind-the-scenes folk would submit news such as casting decisions, scripts and release dates, though Knowles himself has admitted that in the beginning, some of the articles from these alleged "spies" were his own work generated from scouring the newsgroups.

The website garnered national attention in 1997 with the release of Batman & Robin. Knowles posted several negative reviews from preview screenings.[4] When the film performed poorly at the box office, studio executives complained that it had been sabotaged by the leaks to the Internet.[5] However, negative reviews from other, more traditional media confirmed what Knowles had posted.

According to an April 5, 2013 article in The Hollywood Reporter, Knowles' site made $700,000 per year in revenue in its early 2000s prime.[14] However, by 2013, traffic had dwindled and ad revenue had dropped to the low six figures.[14] The Hollywood Reporter also noted that Knowles owed $300,000 in back taxes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service by that point and that the inability of AICN to adapt beyond a dated 1990s web template, being outpaced by newer sites and its continuing difficulty generating the scoops and headlines it was known for in its prime.[14]

That's a bit unfair, Turok was the second reboot attempt of a (gaming) franchise that never really existed outside the N64. And it sold well enough to get a sequel greenlit.

Turok: Evolution from the previous gen, six years prior, did even worse both critically and commercially and helped finally send Acclaim into bankruptcy.

Propaganda Games, post bish (who left before Turok finished btw), went on to do the weirdly coincidentally named Tron: Evolution before Disney decided to ditch the industry and cancelled their Pirates of the Caribbean open world game along with the Turok sequel.

there is no perspective, its dog whistle racism wrapped in blind nationalism, on par with jingoism. There is no real argument for such things. Paramount to "if you dont like everything about how America operates even if its bad, get out"

Its the exact same shit that was propagated during the civil rights era. We have the documents to prove that. the libel that was thrown at MLK about how America's freedoms even allowed black people to exist in the condition they did at that time instead of far worse

No you just did what the right does and simplified a complex situation where we are right as the left as a completely easy issue which it isn't .


Edit : IMO yes the left should be held to a higher standard than the right . We have the moral upper ground and should keep holdin it . If we're dirty like them we lose that and the moral upper ground matters . The fact that I as a left leaning person am willing to listen to one from the right but he/she isn't matters . That's what makes me better
Yo your above the fray holier than thou bs is wearing real thin. Its not a real complex situation. Situations like this only get complicated once people start deflecting from the main issue with their own bs instead of addressing the main issue because they are either too uncomfortable or do not really want to address the main issue in the first place. Its why instead talking about having real criminal justice reform and accountability the main issue in the first place the conversation has shifted towards bs like people getting caught up in their own feelings about people kneeling and whether its disrespecting the flag.

Yesterday I had to deal with this mindset.

Wife’s birthday and I spent it with her side of the family. Her father is really pissed about the flag thing.

I tried to explain how no rights are being violated or rules being broken and that Trump has no say on the NFL because the owners for the most part seem to support the players.

Tell him they are afforded the right to do so by the constitution and I get the usual “I don’t care”.

As expected since listening to crap like Hannity I was told in my own home “Oh god another fucking bleeding heart liberal.”

Then he points to me, looks to the family and says “He’s exactly what fucking wrong with this country.”


I almost lost it. Had to go in the basement. Minutes later he left the house and went home.


Right before that he went into the “shit like this is only a problem if you’re black!”, to which I had to promptly state “You don’t speak like that in my house.”

Trying to raise my daughter to be better than that.



I always knew he was a bit racist, but he was raised that way and for the longest time he kind of just kept it to himself. However this shit stain in office has normalized it yet again and he is acting in a way I haven’t seen in the 12 years I’ve known him.

We’ve never went at each other like we did yesterday.
