Does Chris still talk to him? Does Chris have any plans to move in with him after Snorlax gets KO'd?
 
Does Chris still talk to him?
It's more accurate to say Cole wants nothing to do with Charb and will ignore any messages sent to him by Chris.
Does Chris have any plans to move in with him after Snorlax gets KO'd?
It wouldn't be surprising if he made a facebook post demanding/begging either for Cole to come pick him up so he can live with them or that he move his family to wherever Chris happens to be when Barb finally dies to take care of him.
 
I do not believe that Cole Smithey's personal website should be above his CWCpedia entry in google results. How can we change this

Does it matter? No one is googling Cole without wanting to explore his connection to Chris. He has no notoriety otherwise.
 
The guy had his 15 minutes of infamy when he gave Toy Story 3 a negative review four years ago. The guy is washed up, and the best thing we can do is just get over it.

"On a steep decline from the height of notoriety some four years ago, a washed up hack who refuses to die continues to inflict his jejune and limited intellect on the discerning cinephiles of The Topeka Shopper-Examiner, Quarterman's Filler Quarterly and of course the precocious but cur-born critics of Kidz Newz."

Bob has been dead for a few years and people still obsess and fill themselves with such impudent rage over his perceived parenting style that it's actually really sad. As long as Chris is related to Cole and still alive, people will want to talk about him.

Well yeah we will because we're a subset of a niche attraction. We're the Trekkies of internet goofs. Every type of entertainment has this kind of level of dedication to it. Now to the world at large Cole was an article they glanced at in 2010.
 
Let us all remember Chris's recent ebay auctions have been far more successful than Cole's ebay auction to have people go out and drink craft beer with him.

This. Chris has made (for him) pretty serious dough by doing stuff we've been harping on for a while now. He wised up, realized that greed trumps all and did it. And made, what? $2000 or so? That's good scratch for a month for a guy like Chris. Cole, meanwhile, is trying to figure out how he can once more attain the lofty heights of The Kidsville News once more.

I still say if I were rich, I'd go for it, and then spend the night asking him about Chris. And if he refused, I'd remind him who's paying. (Especially since he wants the winner to pick up the tab as well)
 
I don't understand why people believe he can't be a full-time film critic. I'm pretty sure he is published in enough newspapers that probably pay him for his opinion. Whatever your opinion is on his writing it isn't like dying newspapers or big ones who just lose a lot of money don't at least want 1 guy to review pop culture. Even if it's just to get a few young people reading the local rag.

I'm not really a fan of Cole, his stuff looks boring. I just want to know why many have those assumptions or if there not assumptions and I'm just missing something.

What do you mean by "full-time"?
