Can you summarise your post?

@OP: What did you drink to make you post such a thread?

rokiatu:

[size=20pt]I think Julia Roberts should look up to Genevieve[/size]

Biggest joke of the century.

Meldrick:

Shut up ya dirty mouth. If you could me closer to me, I would have landed a dirty slap on your cheek for such blasphemy. How dare you?
Even Genevieve said she was flattered when Oprah called her Nollywood's Julia Roberts. Genny felt elated. You should be comparing Genny with Jackie Appiah, Omotola e.t.c. Ver soon, you will start comparing Jim Iyke with Brad Pitt.

evilspirit:

why do Nigerians think Americans are better them or betterstill why do American think they better than others.this is all the gimmicks played by the west.they sell ideas into your brain that are the best in the world and that others are just comparable.they may have the environment but when it comes to individuals .they are not better.not wrong in saying julia roberts is America's genevieve inaji.the reference point is always believed to be better,so must they always be the reference point?.i refuse slavery mentality.

You know your father. iidddioottt! You know me from where. Dull human being making dull comparisons

^^^^^^^^^ Madame, that's like me telling you to look up to a 3 year old. You can type on NL so I'm assuming you're older than 3. Why should I tell you you're America's 3 year old when you're, for example, 25? That's 22 more years of life experience you have over a 3 year old. This has nothing to do with follow follow, and everything to do with experience. Genevieve is one of the best actresses in Nollywood and can be considered a veteran now, just as Julia Roberts is one of the best in Hollywood and is a veteran.

If we were to compare talent, lol, then Oprah should've compared her to, let me avoid argument.

Bottom line? America is the world's trendsetter, whether you like it or not. Maybe if 9ja had more innovation, the world would be looking at us for reasons other than 419 and corrupt government. The truth hurts.

I think you should go easy on the insults. I would have deleted your post had you not made some other relating point to the topic.

That being said, what is supposed to be great about Brad as an actor?  You do realise its 'fine boy' that has got him thus far in his career? Him and that Clooney fella.

spikedcylinder:


I vehemently disagree with you both. I've seen most of those movies and still insist he's a chewing gum actor. There are some few movies he was exceptional in like Fight Club but I wouldn't immediately class him in the likes of the greats like Phillip Seymour or Pitt's mentor - Redford.

So yep. Pretty face. Little more.

pro01:

Na iro nla u talk so. How exactly do you determine who a "good" actor is? Considering the subjectivity of notions of "goodness" or "badness" in their varying degrees, the ONLY sure way of determining how good an actor is is by checking how his/her movies fare at the box office. Surely Brad Pitt isn't the finest 'boy' in Hollywood, but he is very bankable - considering the volume of cash his movies generate at the box office. Same applies to folks like Will Smith, Matt Damon, George Clooney and Johnny Depp. Give the man his due man; he connects with his audiences, which translates to box office hits. . .which is why he IS a good actor. One can't claim to be a good actor while his/her movies perform poorly at the box office.

@ Topic

Is 'Genevieve' the name of a person, animal, place, ot thing? Sounds like a nice name.

Lol. May your mouth bend into four for calling me oniro.
That being said, I started the argument as a reference point to those who were giving examples of Brad as being the epitome of talent in Hollywood. My initial point was "what's supposed to be so great about him as an actor talent wise?"
People were saying Genny and Julia, given the same opportunities and platforms will deliver equally as actors and also saying that in no time, Jim whathisface will soon be compared to Brad Pitt. Like Brad Pitt is supposed to be the ultimate acting god.
Will Smith makes a lot of money box office-wise although his acting is shitty. Same goes to Brad, although I agree that Brad does a better job of interpreting roles than Will.
I hope you get my point?

Will Smith makes a lot of money box office-wise although his acting is shitty.

One is light years ahead of the other when it comes to talent!!!

African Americans or 'slaves' as some of you say

were taken away from their home continent and exist better than most Africans who've never even left the land!

You're AFRICANS in AFRICA, wtf!!
