I just watched the Bob Ross Documentary on Netflix.
Dude, I almost had a heart attack- at first I thought it was about some evil side Bob Ross had. Thank god that was not the case.
The Kowalskis are not great. And BRI- fuck that.
Why am I not surprised that they did not want to participate in the film? I bet they will release their version in the future. I shouldn’t watch it…but I’m curious what they will put together. Even if that’s a thing, my stance most likely will not change.
I feel bad for Bob’s son and closest friends.
Also, ‘Kathwren’ is now my favorite spelling of the name.
During the whole ‘Bob was trying to be sensual to his female audience’ scene, omfg. Perfect.
When they showed the clip of Bob talking about the passing of his wife Jane, something inside my heart died. His eyes were just lost and teary looking. It pained me.
Overall, Bob deserved better- especially in his last months. The BRI just took his image and with some of their products…just seemed to…idk…really REALLY make a caricature of his image. What made him special was his message that anyone can paint and bring joy to their lives somehow in some mysterious way.
Now I want to watch the Joy of Painting.
