its called instant gratification! people would rather spend $60 at a movie then come home to a dark house where the electricity is shut off due to lack of payment on the bill then to just lay $60 down on electricity and have to stay home. people have their priorities all screwed up.
you realize movie tickets cost about $6 now multiply about lets say 50 million people who watched it in america alone now you have to add the rest of the people in the would who have seen it so yes it does add up
this is exactly what i don't get about this country. i mean sure prices on everything from gas to food are going up, and things still seem the same to me, even before people started losing there jobs in massive numbers i've never lived in fear of waking up one day and not having any food, and we hear about how bad the economy is all the time? yet we spend millions of dollars on athletes and movie stars, i don't get it, something is very very wrong with our monetary and value systems
most pathetic people who waste money? These women you see in gyms WALKING on the treadmill. Or anyone who owns a treadmill which can only be walked on rather than ran on. I can't believe the world's become so lazy that walking counts as going out of your way to do exercise. It should be part of every day life. If its less than 3 miles, fuckin walk! Its easy and you won't spend money on petrol or a bus fare. Trust me. If you walk everywhere you barely have to think about your diet.
I also notice that every Olive Garden and Red Lobster parking lots are full even on a Monday night in the city I live in. I guess the economy dosen't effect everyone. Must be nice.
Here's what doesn't add up Bob, why the fuck you're so obsessed with what people do with their money. In fact, them buying a ticket to see a movie helps you and the economy. Money needs to keep circulating. Also, the batman movie, seen probably by MANY teenagers, usually only have a cell phone bill. The rest of their fast food check goes to what they like.
Here's an idea, shut the fuck up and think for once dipshit.
how stupid are you bob? lets take your 400 million example. say the cost of a movie ticket was 50 dollars, even if people only went once to batman there would have only been 8 million people who aren't saving "every penny" even with more realistic numbers like 10 dollars a ticket, thats 1/7 the U.S. population.
THINK ABOUT IT DUMBASS - 400 million dollars there are 300 million in the country why dont you do the fucking math?
try thinking before screaming for once, maybe you'll get somewhere
Bob even during the Great Depression. People always paid for their entertainment like a Caberet, a Burlesque, a radio, and a movie. People saved to watch or hear their entertainment. Going to a movie is only 2 1/2 hours of work out of 8 hours. Internet is only 5 hours of work. 1 day of work can pay for internet and a Batman movie.
Bob, what exactly are you arguing here in this video, that back in August 2008 you didn't think we were in an actual recession, or that you think people should've been spending their money more wisely? Or is there some other third point that I'm missing?
@Shinaah yeah well the beauty of capitalism is that people get to spend money on what they want. Furthermore I have to disagree with you, if you watch the video again, you'll notice that Bob says "if we were really in the middle of a recession, then people wouldn't be wasting their money on Batman" and Bob also jokingly asks what will happen when we "really go into a recession." In August 2008, Bob clearly didn't think we were in a recession when he made this video. Ludicrous.
@OlderG0ds Huh? Next time your about to share some of that "great" grammar of yours... why don't you put down the crack pipe... think for a sec... and form logical coherent competent sentences?

so i should stay at home and coward in inside a dark closet and tell the world
im scared we going through a recession ........i dont money to spend ....towel head osama and taliban were right ...we are infidels...hahahahahahaha give me a break
i love american and im going to spend my money and i dont give a fuck if you rather stay at home and make this stupid videos
@MRX31605 OK thats freakin it! Stop watching the freaking vids if thats the way you are....go spend your money on crack watch what happens! People like you are "infidels" so to speak, so just flat-out shut-up!
@MRX31605 No you are missing the point.. He is pretty much saying compared to the last big depression this is nothing, and people are using it as an excuse, but then they go and spend all their money on stupid shit. And then complain about how they have no money for food and what ever else. if you were really doing that bad off you wouldnt have gone and spent your money..
Its cause devoted fans come. Jesus if you know anything about pop culture, you would fucken know that people saw it over and over again!! Jesus! I saw it 9 times!!! And I'm not a super fan!!! JESUS!!!!!!! God I'm sure you would have spent money on something to take your mind of the shity world we live in, Jesus I'm sure you would spend money if you had the chance to see Gleen Beck! God think through the ways of others!!!!
I am a fan of bob's work but this video is pointless it's like he ran out of things to bitch about I mean come on even in a recession people want to watch movies and enjoy themselves. not everyone spent 25 bucks on candy and 40-50 bucks on scalped tickets. Most of them spent like 9 bucks which isnt much even in a recession. "oh i cant afford to pay 9 bucks to see batman because im unemployed and there is a recession" whatever! even in a recession people still have money just not as much
bob in a reccession ppl are going to get depressed and want something to do to get their mind off of being bored and depressed. OFCOURE batman did well just like video games and other things like new smart phones do well because ppl arent just gonna say 'well its a reccession guess ill just do nothing' NO ppl are going to do what they want regardless whether they have to use credit cards or spend whatever money they have
@FastandFurious450 There is way more to this. The price to borrow money is so low, that people keep doing it. This is the underlying problem. Hell, we already punish savings and investment enough in this country without the easy low interest money available. People buy these things because they think that the easy loanable funds, are income. They are nothing but mortgaged future income. This type of spending will force a big recession to come.
What doesn't add is are the numbers that you failed to present. There's a resession and many people are out jobs. The number we never get is how many people still have jobs. People will still spend money regardless of the times. 400 million, average price of $9 a ticket and there's a TON of people that will go more than once. Still about 40 million people but people spend money, calculate food costs and say .20 cents off a gallon of milk everywhere, that'll add up too.
what doesnt add up is that your screaming about a movie that is quite good. dumbass you know nothing about anything except yelling......................alot
Seriously, Bob? History shows that movies always thrive during economic downturns. Right now, box-office receipts show a 3% increase over the same point last year. It's so predictable, it's practically a science.
he's illustrating a point and is using a flimsy example to do so. obvisouly, when the video was made he had to use a current example to illustrate his point (which is sound) but is not a good example...he gets better at such things in his later videos
This guy knows nothing about economics at all. Were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month that year and he doesnt think its in a recession just because a bunch of people with a job and money went to go see a batman movie and bought special commodities. People were doing that during the Great Depression, just not as much of course, but people with money will spend it. This guy is so clueless its unbelievebable. Does he really think he knows something the world doesnt.
hey vote 4 justice.. the answer to your question what does the recession mean to me? nothing,, most households can afford to spend a few pound to go to the cinama and watch a movie for gods sake. this guy is some sad case who instead of ranting on about fucking batman should think about doing something more constructive.
@TenderTrap86 I am not addicted. I stopped using my credit card. Haven't used it in like a month and a half. The last few times I used it, it was all under 50 bucks.
@TenderTrap86 Yeah... oh, oh! Remember that time we all bought really expensive stuff with credit in the 20's and then the next ten years was the Great Depression!? HAHAHAH... oh wait...
@EdikShepherd My prediction is that there will be one more bailout for America, and one more for Europe. Then I'm expecting the bottom to really fall out. That's just my take.
They want to spend more money to get us out this financial fiasco? Does that make any sense, at all?
They're talking about reducing the defecit? What about the debt? The defecit is just a drop in a very, very large bucket.
The only time I turn on the news, now, is when I want to laugh. What a sham this all is. :)
@TenderTrap86 I'm actually considering moving the Denmark or Germany, any country with a stable economy where a lot of the people speak English, so that when I have kids they can live happy lives.
@EdikShepherd I don't think anywhere in Europe is a good choice. They have the same bullshit central banking system as America does. And, Europe's already started to show signs of atrophy, especially in Ireland and Greece, among others. What Happeend in Greece affected Germany in a big way, last year. That's my take, again.
Asia, would be the best choice, I believe. Any nation where there is more prodcution than consumption and more exports than imports is a very good choice, in my opinion.
@TenderTrap86 I'd rather live in poverty than the richest country in Asia. I love culture... and theirs is, quite frankly, acid trippy. No sir, no Asia for me.
are you freakin' kidding me? 40 million people spend ten dollars on a movie? No wonder there's a recession. These eggheads need to learn the value of a buck.
shit the usa must really be doing bad if it costs 40-50 dollars for one ticket. in canada it is 8 dollars on most days but only 3 dollars a ticket on tuesdays.
hes talking about scalping...when tickets are sold out they raise prices on ones they have...dark knight was an amazing...went to the movies tonight actually and paid 8.50...so shut up USA>canada
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
uh, bob, sorry to say this, but the reason The Dark Knight made so much money is that, despite being a comic book movie, it is one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time. This movie deserved best picture, if you ask me.
So a Batman movie is more important than losing all of your cash to a recession? Think about what you just said and how badly you just fucked up. Oh, and btw, nobody is asking you.
Yeah kinda. Considering people in this country get fucking more and more retarded day by day. To the point where people live off of welfare. And then they go and spend money on a fucking movie. and 400 million dollars within 3 days. You know how much cash we owe China? I'm suprised they don't annhiliate us immediately.
China losing their biggest market? China's not North Korea they're not retarded. I doubt people who are on welfare would go see a movie. Most people who see movies are middle class not junkies getting payed money from the goverment. All in all I didn't make the first comment I don't care for the point of view of it.
During the great depression and many other recessions in history, the film indistry did just as good, if not better, than they did in 'regular' times. THAT'S A FACT.
FACT MEANS THAT IT'S IRREFUTABLE SO DON'T ARGUE
DO SOME MOTHER FUCKING RESEARCH BEFORE YOU SPOUT MORE OF YOUR BS ACROSS THE INTERNET
Don't tell anyone what they can or can't say. Yes the industry does well in ANY market because less food and soda a night out to movies is relatively cheap.
Now as for today it's a bit different. There's a movie theater on every main street anymore. Their in malls and complexes you either have to drive to or take a mass transit which in New York was 4 Dollars in 2008 and a ticket was 11.50. That's 15.50 per person to watch a movie.
Now... In 1933 a movie ticket was 50 cents and you could most likely walk 10 mins to the theater. In today's world that would the equivalent of walking about 5 blocks and paying 8 dollars for a movie ticket. Big difference.
In booming economies people party and spend -- not much time for movies. In TODAY'S market and economy a family of four would spend about 50 dollars EASY on a trip to the movies. We'll see how well the movie industry does during this depression. Won't be the same.
It's like you see a problem and do as little research as possible and then tell everyone your "facts."
People wanted to see a movie that made them escape reality aka the recession we were facing. God forbid, people are spending ten dollars for entertainment and somehow it made 400 million the first week. Shit, it must have been a damn good movie.
i bet if people payed to see a fucking retard get himself so worked up over something that is beyond his control, you wouldnt have a problem with it. bob i think you need to get a fucking job. take a kolonapin and chill the fuck out.
and your going to sit there and tell me that you are like the only american who hasnt seen batman? get real dude.
Hes only freaken out because he wants to get the point across, it drills it into your head, or for some of you just makes you want to post stupid remarks and crap :S
Of course Batman made 400 million..........40 million people were bored with their pathetic uneventful lives and wanted to see what it would be like to actually have some control over their freaking lives!
Do the math,people, and you will find that something sure doesn't add up!!!! You got that right, Bob!!!! Thanks for noticing all these things nobody else seems to notice & telling people to PAY ATTENTION
putting your money in your pocket is quite possibly the worst thing possible for the economy. IF YOU HAVE MONEY, SPEND IT. its a smiple chain effect. a compony starts up, and then sells goods. people buy goods, economy/buisness succeeds. AND THE ECONOMY GETS BETTER. instead, people are getting so worried that their going to loose their job, and their not spending any money, and the economy IS GOING DOWN THE SHITTER.
the income effect of economic theory says that as wealth/income drops, demand for normal goods goes down, in place of inferior goods. I suppose going to the movies is inferior for many folks.
Mmm. Another delicious video of Bob condensing immense problems down into a 2 minute screaming match.
Not everybody's completely broke. Not everybody's spending 100 dollars to go see Batman. People need an escape, now more than ever. That's one of the reasons why movies like that did well. But of course, none of that sits well with Bob here.
Come on now, Bob. You look like a sensible, intelligent man. Vids like this particular one is making you look like a moron...
People swarmed to the stores in fact there were so many of them at a Walmart store in N.Y.C that they trampled a guy killing him just so they could save a few bucks.
They tore the doors straight off it's hinges while pushing their way through like a herd of wild buffalo.
If we were really in a recession would people be killing each other just so they could shop at Walmart?
My husband went to work at 4:30am that day and said every store including
WHATS the FUCK'IN DIFFERENCE between someone who speaks VOLUMES OF LOGIC who tells you what the fuck to do, or the FUCK'IN SHITTY ass GOVERMENT that you,, obliously suck the ever lov'in shit out of the COCK do us a favor go kill yourself

hey vote 4 justice.. the answer to your question what does the recession mean to me? nothing,, most households can afford to spend a few pound to go to the cinama and watch a movie for gods sake. this guy is some sad case who instead of ranting on about fucking batman should think about doing something more constructive.

Americans are addicted to spending. Don't forget that they aren't paying with money. They're paying with credit and debt.

@TenderTrap86 I am not addicted. I stopped using my credit card. Haven't used it in like a month and a half. The last few times I used it, it was all under 50 bucks.

@EdikShepherd My prediction is that there will be one more bailout for America, and one more for Europe. Then I'm expecting the bottom to really fall out. That's just my take.
They want to spend more money to get us out this financial fiasco? Does that make any sense, at all?
They're talking about reducing the defecit? What about the debt? The defecit is just a drop in a very, very large bucket.
The only time I turn on the news, now, is when I want to laugh. What a sham this all is. :)

@TenderTrap86 I'm actually considering moving the Denmark or Germany, any country with a stable economy where a lot of the people speak English, so that when I have kids they can live happy lives.
It really is pathetic.
EdikShepherd 10 months ago
@EdikShepherd I don't think anywhere in Europe is a good choice. They have the same bullshit central banking system as America does. And, Europe's already started to show signs of atrophy, especially in Ireland and Greece, among others. What Happeend in Greece affected Germany in a big way, last year. That's my take, again.
Asia, would be the best choice, I believe. Any nation where there is more prodcution than consumption and more exports than imports is a very good choice, in my opinion.
TenderTrap86 10 months ago
@TenderTrap86 I'd rather live in poverty than the richest country in Asia. I love culture... and theirs is, quite frankly, acid trippy. No sir, no Asia for me.

Yeah kinda. Considering people in this country get fucking more and more retarded day by day. To the point where people live off of welfare. And then they go and spend money on a fucking movie. and 400 million dollars within 3 days. You know how much cash we owe China? I'm suprised they don't annhiliate us immediately.
whahpndlastnight 2 years ago
China losing their biggest market? China's not North Korea they're not retarded. I doubt people who are on welfare would go see a movie. Most people who see movies are middle class not junkies getting payed money from the goverment. All in all I didn't make the first comment I don't care for the point of view of it.

During the great depression and many other recessions in history, the film indistry did just as good, if not better, than they did in 'regular' times. THAT'S A FACT.
FACT MEANS THAT IT'S IRREFUTABLE SO DON'T ARGUE

Don't tell anyone what they can or can't say. Yes the industry does well in ANY market because less food and soda a night out to movies is relatively cheap.
Now as for today it's a bit different. There's a movie theater on every main street anymore. Their in malls and complexes you either have to drive to or take a mass transit which in New York was 4 Dollars in 2008 and a ticket was 11.50. That's 15.50 per person to watch a movie.
thiscantbesustained 2 years ago
Now... In 1933 a movie ticket was 50 cents and you could most likely walk 10 mins to the theater. In today's world that would the equivalent of walking about 5 blocks and paying 8 dollars for a movie ticket. Big difference.
In booming economies people party and spend -- not much time for movies. In TODAY'S market and economy a family of four would spend about 50 dollars EASY on a trip to the movies. We'll see how well the movie industry does during this depression. Won't be the same.
thiscantbesustained 2 years ago
It's like you see a problem and do as little research as possible and then tell everyone your "facts."
People wanted to see a movie that made them escape reality aka the recession we were facing. God forbid, people are spending ten dollars for entertainment and somehow it made 400 million the first week. Shit, it must have been a damn good movie.

putting your money in your pocket is quite possibly the worst thing possible for the economy. IF YOU HAVE MONEY, SPEND IT. its a smiple chain effect. a compony starts up, and then sells goods. people buy goods, economy/buisness succeeds. AND THE ECONOMY GETS BETTER. instead, people are getting so worried that their going to loose their job, and their not spending any money, and the economy IS GOING DOWN THE SHITTER.

the income effect of economic theory says that as wealth/income drops, demand for normal goods goes down, in place of inferior goods. I suppose going to the movies is inferior for many folks.

Mmm. Another delicious video of Bob condensing immense problems down into a 2 minute screaming match.
Not everybody's completely broke. Not everybody's spending 100 dollars to go see Batman. People need an escape, now more than ever. That's one of the reasons why movies like that did well. But of course, none of that sits well with Bob here.
Come on now, Bob. You look like a sensible, intelligent man. Vids like this particular one is making you look like a moron...

People swarmed to the stores in fact there were so many of them at a Walmart store in N.Y.C that they trampled a guy killing him just so they could save a few bucks.
They tore the doors straight off it's hinges while pushing their way through like a herd of wild buffalo.
If we were really in a recession would people be killing each other just so they could shop at Walmart?
