	Whiskey Bar: Bob Roberts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Roberts further burnished his anti-choice credentials with his brief in Rust v.
		Roberts wasn't warmly endorsed by Tony Perkins and Operation Rescue because of his Ivy League pedigree and his expensive suits.
		And if they're right, if Roberts is willing to do that, then there's no way of telling what other extremist doctrines he might buy into -- up to and including the "Constitution in exile." His record on the bench is simply too spare to tell one way or the other.

		"Bob Roberts" is a gimlet-eyed little mockumentary chronicling the rise, fall and rise of merciless, villainous, Machiavellian and media-savvy politician Bob Roberts, who---as the film's opening sequence makes clear---is a man of many talents: former West Pointer, Wall Street trader and stock market guru, self-made millionaire, and right-wing folk singer.
		Roberts is an ingenious political animal, having picked up a guitar and made the transition from Woodstock to Wall Street---and now he wants Main Street.
		The plot is simplicity itself: "Bob Roberts" is played with a straight face as the'documentary' of the 1992 Bob Roberts Pennsylvania senatorial campaign, produced and 'directed' by fictional documentarian Terry Manchester (played convincingly by veteran British actor Brian Murray).

		Roberts was first (with Columbia) though Murray had been making Edison cylinders for several months before Roberts worked for Edison.
		Roberts was most popular on records from 1903 to 1907, his work being issued on major disc and cylinder labels as well as small ones such as Aretino, Busy Bee, Indestructible, D and R, and U-S Everlasting.

		Bob Roberts is, I suppose, the equivalent of This is Spinal Tap in terms of US politics- though I thought Warren Beatty's Bulworth (1999) was funnier & more engaging.
		Roberts is as deluded over his past as Tom Cruise's character in Magnolia or Jeffrey Archer in the recent BBC-TV fantasy biopic.
		Bob Roberts paints a bleak portrait of US politics at the start of the 90's, while Bulworth does the same at the end of the millennium.

	Bob Roberts: Special Edition (1992)
		Bob Roberts can’t quite decide if it wants to be an overtly comedic satire of politics - especially those on the right side of the fence - or if it desires to make grand, Oliver Stone-style statements about corruption and cowardice.
		A project such as Bob Roberts has merit, but political satires are some of the most difficult to make due to the clarity of the creator’s bias; it’s nearly impossible for this form of work to avoid the taint of ideological fervor.
		Bob Roberts appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.33:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Bob Roberts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The camera follows Roberts around on his campaign trail against incumbent Brickley Paiste (Gore Vidal) where he mostly presents the issues in songs, released on albums with Dylanesque titles like The Freewheelin' Bob Roberts and The Times They Are A-Changin' Back.
		What I find most amazing is the ability of Robbins (and brother David) to write songs for Roberts that portray a political ideology 180 degrees from their own, and that are darn catchy to boot.
		But the darkly humorous tone of Bob Roberts becomes far too bitter and jaded for comfort when a chain of events revealng Roberts to be a liar goes on far too long and chooses a conventional way to wrap up.

		Bob Roberts was born on October 1, 1858 in Llano county near Packsaddle Mountain.
		When news reached the Roberts home one day in August of 1873 that Indians were in that vicinity, the two eldest Roberts boys remembering their pledge, quickly saddled their horses.
		To this day Bob Roberts has not forgotten how eager he was to go with them, and how keenly disappointed he was at being left behind.

	Bob Roberts review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		BOB ROBERTS is a quirky, biting satire on modern politics and the "new conservative" movement.
		The title character, Bob Roberts (played by Tim Robbins), is a stockbroker, folk singer and amateur fencer who runs for a U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania.
		Interspersed with this campaign commentary are interviews with Roberts' parents, fans, incumbent campaign opponent, and a bedraggled heckler from the alternative press who badgers his campaign with accusations about alleged links with Iran-Contra, misuse of government funds, and other half-paranoid, half-believable claims.

	Bob Roberts Movie Review
		BOB ROBERTS is a film directed and written by Tim Robbins and produced by Fred Murray.
		BOB ROBERTS is Tim Robbins's nearly perfect debut as a writer-director-star.
		Roberts is a Young Conservatives' version of Bob Dylan, a folksinger who trades foreign currencies between gigs and whose songs praise getting rich and denounce the poor and disadvantaged as the enemy.

	[No title]
		Roberts was a populist Republican politician who'd win over audiences with folk songs that sounded traditional but were reactionary rather than humanitarian (The Times They Are A-Changin' Back being one example).
		Roberts is joined on the Pennsylvania senatorial campaign trail by a British documentary filmmaker who offers insight into Roberts, his staff, and his supporters.
		Tim and Julia Roberts would play reporters who ignore the shows in favour of drinking and having sex in their hotel room, all the while mindful that their affair (like the industry) is far removed from real life, and will not survive the return home.

	The DVD Journal: Bob Roberts: Special Edition
		Robbins stars as Bob Roberts, a U.S. Senate candidate from Pennsylvania who cleverly co-opts the image of the 1960s rebel — he sings folk songs, he rides a motorcycle — but twists them to serve and promote "conservative" values (which are represented here as essentially an obsession with money).
		Where Roberts is portrayed in extremes as a slick rat, Paiste is simply a beleaguered old man who wants to talk about the issues but finds himself quickly on the defensive as he's falsely implicated in a sex scandal.
		We are treated to scene after scene of Roberts and his campaign being mocked as petty, sneaky, racist, bullying, and cruel, and scene after scene of sincere liberals protesting with righteous indignance — but without a trace of exaggeration.

	Coonce's Gift Cottage: Send Flowers: Bob Roberts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I first saw "Bob Roberts" in 1992, when it came out and when I was younger and further to the left than I am now, and I thought it was terrific.
		But "Bob Roberts" does just that to pander to the paranoia and hysteria of the strident left, which has become ever more strident and paranoid since George W. Bush became president (see some of the five-star reviews of this movie, which use words like "Nazipuglican" to describe the writers' political opponents).
		I'm giving "Bob Roberts" two stars, not one, because it did have its moments, and because was in fact something of a pioneer in Hollywood in illustrating the mechanisms behind political media machines, long before "Wag the Dog" came out.

		The Plot: Bob Roberts (Tim Robbins) is a minstrel who sings to the hearts of his local constituents as he runs for Senator.
		Yet as Roberts gets ever closer to his goal of destroying the current senator, Brickely Paiste (Gore Vidal), he seems to be dogged by scandal as one persistent independent journalist keeps digging up more dirt about his shady backer and partner, Lukas Hart, III (Alan Rickman).
		Bob Roberts is one of these films, and Alan Rickman's character, Lukas Hart is that little gem.

	GreenCine \| product main - Bob Roberts (1992) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the tradition of This Is Spinal Tap, producer/ director/ star Tim Robbins' Bob Roberts is a satire disguised as a documentary.
		On the surface, Roberts is an ingratiating glad-hander, a sincere believer in the restoration of such intangibles as national pride, family values, etc. But the longer Roberts is followed about by documentary filmmaker Brian Murray, the more we become aware that the candidate is a textbook case of cynicism and contempt.
		Bob Roberts started out as a Tim Robbins-directed short subject for the TV series Saturday Night Live, then was expanded into a $4 million feature.

		Tim Robbins, the writer, director, and star of Bob Roberts, a satire of American politics in the age of entertainment, was in Boston last week to promote his very good mock documentary.
		The campaign that Roberts launches shows more than a few similarities to the campaigns of today's candidates, which is somewhat amazing considering that the script was written six years ago.
		Bob Roberts, as an openly political film, is a rarity.

		After working with Hardy for a few years, Roberts moved to New York; he eventually resettled in Los Angeles, while Hardy remained in San Francisco and continued to travel regularly to Japan, where he honed the East/West fusion that is a hallmark of both men's work.
		Roberts works in the traditional medium of watercolor on paper, creating dense, fanatically detailed compositions that draw from traditional American tattoo flash, Tibetan thangkas paintings, and outlaw motorcycle imagery.
		Roberts and Hardy challenge themselves with a system of irreversible marks, as opposed to the corrections and overpainting of Western traditions.

	SENDING A MESSAGE: BOB ROBERTS, SCHOOL TIES
		Still, most people either are charmed by Roberts (a woman says she wishes there was a way she could vote for him a hundred times, and he kids her that there is) or give him a free pass.
		Bob Roberts is so eerily reminiscent of Republicans today from Reagan (his image of being a Teflon man) to Bush (Roberts is a walking example of promising a "kinder, gentler nation")and especially Buchanan (his scary underside) that it's hard to laugh at him.
		Like BOB ROBERTS, SCHOOL TIES puts the lie to the idea that only people from the South can be prejudiced.
