Hey Bob, I’ve been thinking about this a bunch lately, if you were given the chance and a sufficient budget, what movie would you most like to adapt into a video game, and vice-versa? (Game to movie)
dear dr chipman
many people talk about adapting games to movies, but always consider doing it in a live action setting, do you think that stuff like mario and zelda, or other games, would be better if they maintained there usual art style for the movie, so it would be a animated or cgi mario movie instead of live action? also what is your favourite sandwich?
Have you ever considered now that you are finally creating a dedicated show like the AVGN and other content producers that you will be hiring, contracting or asking for volunteers to be involved with the production of your new show?
Also why Blip.tv over Youtube?
Dear Dr Chipman,
What is your opinion of non-erotic Burma Shave Fan Fiction?
What’s the worst move you love, but everyone hates. (So bad it’s good doesn’t count).
Whoa! Moviebob is gonna be on this? Hell yeah! Anyway, what’s your opinion of the Wii U? Have you gotten your hands on one yet? What do you think they’ll do with the next 3D Mario (a la Galaxy) and the next Zelda? Thanks in advance!
Dear Dr. Bob.

Dear Bob,
What made you want to become a film critic?

Hey Bob,
What is your least favorite Marvel universe flick so far and why?

Dear Dr. Bob
I find myself reviewing movies while I’m watching them in your voice, how do I make this go away so I can enjoy mainstream cinema again?
How do you justify your determination in your “new” review of Phantom menace that it “should not be judged by the standards of the Original Trilogy” with your assessment that “Star Trek (2009)” fails to live up to the Star Trek legacy?
I ask this as a big fan, not as someone trying to poke holes in your reviews.
As per your Big Picture I read The Mortal Instruments wikipedia plot synopsis and vomited blood, which of the “next Twilight” potentials would you like to see succeed and which one would you like to see fade into obscurity?
dear dr. bob, do you have any plans to visit australia at any point in the future? and if you do, what conventions/meetups do you plan to attend?
Dear Bob,
If you could redo any movie, create any movie, or have a movie made from your favorite game/book (and have it be perfectly well done too…) What would your dream cast be?
I saw your article on The Escapist “I wrote that Stuff”
have there ever been any screen plays that you wrote that in retrospect have actually been “good enough” to show to a producer/film maker/studio?
Dear, Moviebob
What is your movie of the year and why?
Hey Bob, did Hurricane Sandy affect you at all?
I haven’t had enough money to buy comics anymore, so if I had to pick up one or two trades from this year, what would they be?
Howdy Bob von Cinema, It’s easy to find your opinions on Games and Movies, but what are you’re opinions on other media? Music, books, radio and the like?
Moviebob, In your opinion which is better: Tom Cruise’s lack-of-pants in “Legend” or David Bowie’s… presence in “Labyrinth”?
Moviebob: Have you seen Birdemic? And what is, in your opinion, the worst movie ever made, period? Not “most overrated” or “should have been good but was terrible”, but the ABSOLUTE WORST thing you’ve ever seen?
What do you think of films like the “Third Man” and the use of the slated angle to put the audience off on purpose. Is it too obvious or does it achieve its desired affect.

Challenge for bob: Spend about a minute expelling the glory that is Michael Bay and how amazing his films are.
Question: How do you feel about the indie scene of games and film?
