28.   Everyone uses their party dresses and make up even when cooking in the kitchen or sleeping.

29.  All bullets hit the chest

30.  TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Given that these are simple and easily accessible facts, it irks beyond reason that script writers would not take the time out to verify or validate information provided in movies. Care to admit it or not, some audiences take this stuff literally. Producers should not expect viewers to take information they provide in their movies with a grain of salt.

Ebonyeyes:

I agree the fleet of cars part is too true. Our industry is redundant and in need of new, fresh young writers and producers.

OBVIOUS:

More of FRESH DIRECTORS WITH IDEAS.

1. Kidney failure, Congestive Heart Failure, Bone fracture, Cancer, Asthma, STDs etc are all diagnosed by placing a stethoscope over a patient’s chest.

OBVIOUS:

^^^^ how r u today ? <hope relaxed.>

omar22:



Me thinking that they would normally blame the first wife or the mother-in-law

Ebonyeyes:

Everything bad is the womans fault in Nollywood

nonsence - try and applaud efforts people make rather than trying to kill it.

Nice job, but u forgot to add this one,

[color=#006600]
*Every movie must end with "To God Be The Glory"
[color]

in me:

Nice job, but u forgot to add this one,


*It doesnt matter if someone else [i][who is not even part of the actors/actress] walked pass the face of the camera, the movie most go on.[/i]

*As for your number 19, nobody will like to watch/buy a movie without the face of popular actor/actress, at least this one is understandable

walakolobo:

nonsence - try and applaud efforts people make rather than trying to kill it.

Ebonyeyes:

Sweetie, the best way to move forward and develop is to admit there is a problem and look for appropriate solutions In this case, we need fresh young writers/producers/directors oh and some of our actors and actresses need to go to acting school .
