Yea true, Universal also had early releases. Apart from Oppenheimer, all their movies had early digital releases. Na only Disney carry hoarding for head.

I can hardly differentiate between 720p and 1080p on laptop. Their differences are more noticeable when you are watching on a larger screen, like a 55" television for example.

Omo, you for talk this thing since. I just start to dey download few minutes ago. 😭😩

Disney movies haven't done well at the box office when they released early on VOD and Disney+ have thought audiences to wait for Disney releases to hit the streamer if they're unsure of it or it ain't an event movie. So na premium suffer Disney dey like dis as almost all their animation films including Pixar's have underperformed or flat out flopped at the box office.

Universal just seems to be the opposite of it.

WB are acting like they are ashamed of Salem's Lot. They've postponed it several times, and even now that they've finally agreed to release it, they chose to hide the release date. I thought Mickey 17 was 2025 movie, I had no idea it was getting a summer release; I haven't seen its trailer anywhere

That Salem's Lot matter dey fear me. I've been waiting for that movie since 2021 to even understand the universe but WB no wan gree release am. It was to be released last year but was pushed back as WB already had many horror titles releasing for the year.
Rumor mill is that Zaslav had put it up for a tax write off but seems to have changed his mind and instead decides to dump it on Max.
Stephen King has come out to say he loved the movie and it's a beaut and don't understand what's going on at WB.

Mickey 17 was a March 2024 release but got moved because of Dune Part 2 new date. So it's not with a release date yet. No trailer yet. Just a movie title teaser.

Ah ah. Wetin happen?

Boss na work oo and life. I mostly watch TV shows these days cos I have more time with the world, lore, characters and development. Movies are too short and their 2hrs runtime I see dey fear me. But I'll happily spend more than that time on a TV series. 😩

I download movies every week tho alongside series. It's just that I don't see them. I just curate them in to watch list.

Just finished watching my second movie since mid February, POOR THINGS yesterday night.

Paul seems like he's becoming the villain to me...

And the constant comparison to Eren from AOT assures me he's becoming the villain

He's gotten his revenge. His the new emperor.

Other houses will come to agree with him.

The truth of his birth is already known to em all.

Paul's actions have led to the Holy War...

From his visions, the Holy war will lead to the death of millions of people...and will lead to mass hunger and starvation...


His visions show him that there is actually only one single slim path for victory...and I'm sure that path will be very bloody...

I personally think Paul will be the main villain of Dune...and will have to be stopped at the end

Yes. . I think he's actually taking the possible slim path to avoid the bloody war.

Keeping emperor alive and taking his throne..
I damn hate movies to be so good that it keeps me guessing what will happen Next lol

If Paul becomes villain thinking he's saving the world.. it's gonna be a sad life for him.. just like eren

He literally stated that they have enemies surrounding them and all their paths lead to defeat...

Except one slim path he must follow...

And recall his previous visions showed that if he goes South, his actions will cause the holy war that will bring about suffering to the world...

That is the single narrow path he has taken...

Why them no go suffer? They've been dropping terrible movies recently, and it somehow affected the numbers of even their good movies. I expect Inside out 2 to perform well at the box though; Deadpool and Wolverine too

Again, you missed the point of my post on the parallels between both characters...

The main reason is because you never understood Attack on Titan and also sure enough you never understood DUNE.

Anyone who has seen both media and understands them will understand my post.

You clearly don't.


In both cases, it is not the writer's fault that you lack media literacy. It is you who needs to work on yourself...

Or maybe stick to your Nollywood home videos since any media that has depth that requires anything higher than your 5 IQ becomes "overrated" to you.



Someday...when you can actually understand media (if that day ever comes), perhaps you should try rewatching both Attack on Titan and Dune and see for yourself why people highly rate the works...

Thank you

From what I can tell, Paul Atreides is on his way to becoming a Tyrant...he will rule with blood and terror despite being proclaimed as the "Messiah" or "Savior"


If I find a quality video that explains both Eren and Paul Atreides and their parallels, I'll post it

This below is the closest I found...but it didn't really go into Eren's character unfortunately...

But it's pretty long...but if you can watch the first maybe 15 minutes...it does a good job

Baba,you really have to calm down.
Even the oyibos many of you worship on this thread did not understand both films.
It does not take a genius to realize many parts of the book especially in Dune 2 were left out of the film.
Where and who are the other Great Houses?
What did the other Great houses think of the annihilation of the Atreides?
Why did the film never explain how tears can bring a person back to life until it happened?
How influential are the Ben Gesserit? and if they are widely believed by the houses to be so manipulative?Why do the houses still associate with them?
I have many other questions but I do not want to be a bore.
Both films may have amazing cinematography and musical scores but both films (including the characters) felt flat,cold,rushed and sterile to me.

I and several others on this thread have outlined many questions and many things which the movies seem to have cut from the source material...

Yet the movie is still good...

The fact is that the dude I quoted does not understand any good media...
He never has...

Dune is not the first movie/series he has not understood...
We know him well on this thread
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 10:51am On Apr 08
There is one weird take I've seen in several movie/series discourse...
And it's becoming rampant here also...

Some people have this notion that because they do not understand a movie/series, it automatically does not make sense or it is overrated...

SOME PEOPLE HERE EVEN GO AS FAR AS TO ACCUSE OTHERS OF "PRETENDING TO UNDERSTAND" A MOVIE/SERIES



Here is my response to that:

If you do not understand a movie/series and others understand it, the problem is from you, not the series and not those who understand it...

Do not blame a work of media just because you fail to understand it when others do...and others appreciate it...


Maybe it comes from the self-esteem issue of feeling like your media literacy must be above or be on par with everyone else...

We are seeing it on this thread with DUNE where those who don't understand the movies accuse others who understand it of pretending...


The same thing happened with Jujutsu Kaisen S2 when some people claimed it made no sense simply because they didn't understand it.
Same thing happened with Attack on Titan.


If you don't understand something and someone else understands it...it makes sense...the problem is from you...
The problem is not from the movie/series or from the person who understands it.

This post of yours easily goes both ways.
I have also seen on this thread where a person/s will have valid criticisms/complaints about a film and others will "shout down" that person for being unintelligent.
A perfect example is two pages back where a monicker ridiculed those who do not like/understand Dune 1 & 2 as "marvel moviegoers" as if he/she would not desire to view new marvel film releases and as if the film makers of Dune 1 & 2 do not desire marvel film viewing audiences.
There should be less name-calling & more respecting of others opinions about the various forms of media we consume.

I think at the end of the day, what we all want is good discourse...

If you don't like or understand a show...why not ask those who like it what they like about it?

Same way that those who bring up valid criticisms should not be shut down but rather you can respond to their criticism


The two people I attacked in the past 2 days were well known for their antics...rather than lay out valid criticism, theyll prefer to call the movie/show bad and give no reasonable or valid criticism to it...

blueelf and writerNG

You can check the entire thread since inception...these two have never made any sensible criticism to any show or movie...

The only viable reason is because they just don't understand the shows/movies so they attack the show and those who like it...

For months, I've been asking blueelf why he thinks Attack on Titan is trash or overrated...till now and to the end of time he has never replied and will never reply...

The necessary answer is that he just doesn't understand it...same way he doesn't understand Dune and he can't bring up any valid criticism of it
