The Kings Speech

How to fish for an Oscar.

Watch Video

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

Great take on both the Oscar circus and the usual means of reviewing a film.

Very enjoyable, Bob.

BRB, securing investors to go oscar fishing

 

[PhiMed]

Huh... so that's all it takes?

One question: Forrest Gump was set in America, with a Southern accent, and mostly during the 60's. Does the Viet Nam War override the need for WWII?

 

[Latinidiot]

Alrighty, but I rather fish for ancient monstrosities from the abyss.

 

[dfcrackhead]

I really enjoyed that review... It was really creative and a fun way of covering two topics at once. Good Job Bob.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Bob sounds a little miffed.

A little.

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

Love it when you blast the Oscars. Nice one Bob.

 

[sdgilbert]

Hey Bob, don't forget about Patton. At least that was an amazing movie on top of being based in World War II

 

[Sovvolf]

One thing to mention... I'm sure to hell Geoffrey Rush is Australian. Anyway, all in all... I do agree and I even made this clear in your last vid on the Oscars. The film looked like Oscar Bait and it will probably catch some Oscars. Though if I was you Bob, I'd start digging a trench and line it with barber wire because I imagine the backdraft your about to receive for this will be mind boggling.

 

[Natdaprat]

You are 100% correct. Though some films that use these methods are not always bad, like Forest Gump.

 

[House_Vet]

Ech, mostly correct I suppose, but I really rather liked it and thought the social network was massively overrated.

 

[omega247]

I should show this to some of my friends who think that if a movie wins an oscar it's automatically amazing...

And I think The King's Speech looks exceedingly boring

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

I kinda want The Kings Speech to win now.

Because, really, if the movie that's such shameless Oscar bait is winning, why would you ever actually care about the Oscars?

And you do.

 

[Goldeneye1989]

Sorry moviebob but there is one better piece of Oscar bait

Bob i completely sympathize with you about mother nature i live in lawrence about 30 minuets north of boston and i feel like i've been shoveling for about a month

 

[Hatchet90]

Expect a shit storm Bob... I have to completely disagree with you on this one. I'm not going to list off my reasons, mostly because you probably don't read the comments. The King's Speech is going to win, and even though it wasn't my favorite (that being Black Swan), it's in my opinion that it is more deserving than the Social Network. You may as well say that The Social Network is oscar bait because it's topical and the Kids Are All Right is because there's a gay couple.

1. Black Swan
2. 127 Hours
3. Inception
4. The King's Speech
5. The Social Network
6. True Grit
7. Toy Story 3
8. The Fighter
9. Winter's Bone
10. The Kids Are All Right

 

[Shakaar9267]

Great review. However that little 'ding' you had with every check mark was a little sharp. It kind of hurt my ears.

 

[ShadowKatt]

I'm actually half interested now. If this movie was made with no more blatant purpose than winning an oscar, and it does win an oscar, then that means the oscars and hollywood as a whole are a sham, we should burn it all down, shoot everyone in it, bulldoze over that part of california, and start over.
