I wonder. It is as if some people are watching pirated version of the snyder cut!! This is the second person that sees no difference between it and the original release!
You shouldn't wonder anymore. They have probably forgotten the mediocre film Whedon and WB served us 3 years ago, while some downloaded a poor quality version of the movie and expected it to be good. I mean 480p mkv version of Synder's Cut is nothing less than 900mb, but some people are watching the 500mb quality of it in BBRip format. Na Nokia Torch quality be that. lipsrsealed

Nawa for people ooo there is no major or significant different between the Snyder justice league n d old one in fact I love d old one back then that wasn’t 4hours long......this Snyder na olodo I was even expecting a new character like green lantern or someone cooler to be added
Spoiler Alert (my post contains spoilers for those of you that are yet to watch it).

Sometimes when I read posts like this, I wonder if we watched the same movies together. Nothing major you say? The first film had 2hrs running time, Synder Cut had 4 hours running time and you think 2 extra hours is nothing major?

You were expecting Green Lantern? Did you watch the earlier fight where a Green Lantern was introduced in this version which helped Atlanteans, humans, Olympian Gods and Amazons to defeat Darkseid? Or you expected him to have a lead role all of sudden in a movie that had already been acted 3 years ago?

How about the more time given to Darkseid in order to give an insight of who the villain is and what the future of the DCEU would look like?

How about the movie time given to Desaad? Did you know Desaad wasn't in the first version? Did you know The fight between Ares and Darkseid was cut off from the first one?

Did you witness Martian Hunter in the the first version?

Did Flash enter the Speed Force to reverse back time in the Whedon Cut?

Darkseid led the invasion of earth in this version while Steppenwolf led the invasion in the Whedon Cut. So many differences but you chose to be blind to it.

A whole 2 hours was added to Zack Synder's version and you say it's nothing major. Bro, it's either you're hating, suffering from memory loss or simply don't understand what you watched. I suggest you remove sentiments and watch both movies again.

Damn, after rewatching some scenes for the past 30 mins, mehn I must say the Score of this movie is a MASTERPIECE!!!

Fvvk me.

My favourite Score/Scene was the "Barry meets Iris" scene. Damn, musical score made me almost emotional mehn. cry

That song is POWERFUL. It's been long I've loved a really SLOW song.

Big ups to JunkieXL on this one. These guy just doesn't disappoint. .

Abeg who know the title of that song and artist should let me know ASAP. Thanks in advance.
Song's name is Song to the Siren by Rose Betts.

I hope that both of you can see that DC and Warner Bros dey ment. They are not normal.

You have good wine and you are bringing ogogoro for your fans to drink first
Madness is the only possible answer to the phenomenon that gripped the idiots at Warner Bros. Nobody can convince me it isn't. I've never seen any sane human prefer loss to gain, anguish to happiness or mediocre to outstanding.

How can someone not mad ditch the Synder Cut for that average version that bombed at the box office? It must be ment!!

Zack Synder's Justice League (2021). 8.5/10


For the life of me, I wonder how Warner Bros. had this version of JL and chose to release the first version. It must be ment or malaria. This was a better, livelier, well-scripted, well-directed version of JL. The first version doesn't hold a candle to Synder's Cut at all.

The action scenes were better. The score. Visuals. Everything was better. 4 hours of awesomeness. Synder killed it. Warner Bros. and all those who conspired to feed us the earlier mediocre version ought to be shot on sight.

Modified: A part of me thinks that this is not 100% Synder's original version, that some scenes were added to it because it's really preposterous to have this version and water it down to serve us the original average version.

Also, I liked Steppenwolf in this version. Even though I wasn't happy that he couldn't give Superman tough time like in the first version, Steppenwolf matured in this version. He looked more like a hardened villain than the clown the first version served us.

One Night in Miami (2021). 8/10.


Awesome fictional get together of 4 African American icons. The dialogue were impressive and acting superb, especially Leslie Odom Jr's. Damn, that man can sing and he's got a sonorous voice to go with it. He totally owned the Sam Cooke's role. And his cover of Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come was almost as awesome as the original song. It'd pass for the voice of Cooke.

The musical score of the movie was good, got me listening to Sam Cooke and Rob Dylan's evergreen songs. Impressive directorial debut for Regina King, becoming the first African-American female director to have her film premier on the Venice Music Festival.

Man City lost and then boom!! They won 5-2. Not allowing the previous result slow them down.

United won and then it's back to the same boring football. I've said it and will repeat it again, we can never make any reasonable progress without consistency. Never ever.


Chelshit has turned their bad form around with a consistent run of positive results. But United will take one step forward and 5 steps backward.

After a resounding victory over Shitty, see the borefest they served us today. It can only be United.

Good morning, I want to ask if CRIMINAL MINDS worth watching? Someone recommend it and after checking Netflix, I realize it's a 15 season serie, that's why I want to ask if it's really worth burning data for it.. Tnx
It was worth watching to me and I enjoyed till around season 12. Though I watched all the seasons, the fun dwindled in the last 3-4 seasons for me.

but it's an audition
Audition for a role which involves walking naked in the film. Other ladies who came for the audition walked naked too probably. Unless other ladies who auditioned didn't walk naked but Jennifer was made to walk naked during the audition, I fail to see how it's a sex-for-role situation.

Jennifer lawrence during her days as an upcoming actress was made to walk naked in one audition
If walking naked was a role she had to play in the movie, and it's in the script, I see nothing wrong there. It's either you accept the role or you turn it down.

How would you believe such exploitation isn't present in Hollywood. cheesy

You think say all those actress wey dey do nude scenes and sex romp with their fellow actors, wey don use hot bodies pepper fans, you think the producers or directors etc won't want in on the action. grin grin
I know it happens but I thought it was very very rare, like it is bare-minimum over there

Depends. Hollywood is a vicious highly competitive world, meaning only the ones that know how to "play the game" usually succeed. An actor could be talented, charming and attractive, with a first class honours in theater arts to match, but these qualifications could add up to nothing in the end, if they are lacking in cynical ruthlessness and desperation.

I mean, it's an open secret in Hollywood that starlets get close and personal with studio head-honchos in exchange for juicy roles in movies. Margot Robbie is talented and beautiful and I respect her a lot, but she likely did a little leg spreading to get to where she is in so short a time. For these starlets, the end justifies the means, but shouldn't something be said about their emotional well-being? How are they coping when no one is around?

Good on the kid if she wanted to pursue a career in acting further down the road, but, I can't resist the urge to contemplate whether it wouldn't be better for her mental health if she chooses a less mental exhausting vocation.
I used to think this phenomenon is more prominent in Nollywood and a very rare occurrence in Hollywood who act all sanctimonious like vices like that never happens in their world, and when they do, it's in rarity. I'm a bit surprised that it's been business as usual as these years. Naivé me!!

I think maybe it's best to continue her learning process and acting adventure in the German film industry where she was discovered and maybe move down to Hollywood when she's of certain age, by then she'd much older and mature to handle the vices in Hollywood. Thrown into such vicious at such a young age would be damaging.

Didn't really reach the height I thought it would reach for me Judging by the high ratings some peeps gave it. Still an interesting animation.

Being a talented child actor doesn't often translate to a first rate actor in adulthood. There are levels to acting and being merely talented is not just enough.
True. But my guts tells me she might become a first rate actress in future especially if she moves to US/Hollywood and work hard. She just might reach that top level.

News of the World (2021). 7.5/10


A brilliantly adaptated Western drama from the novel of the same name. One of the best Western movies I've seen in recent times.


It's no secret that Tom Hanks never fails to deliver, but I was more impressed by Helena Zengel. The child actress was absolutely brilliant and at such a young age. I see that girl going on to achieve so much more. She has huge potentials.

I decided to ignore id.iotic trolls who highlighted some of these your points. But since you have brought it on, i will have to address your points. Head on..

1. Doc i repeat and still maintain to you that KDB was completely off colour yesterday, if he like let him deliver 1 million passes. He loss possession several times in dangerous positions, he was lethargic, he misplaced passes on several occasions, and could not orchestrate any meaningful attempt, Henderson was only restricted long range efforts from Gundogan, Rodri and Zinchenko. KDB was very poor yesterday. Your passing stats is meaningless. Even your Whoscored commenters where stunned how he was able to get his rating. The image below is the evidence.

2. Maguire made 9 key cleaeances i only checked that now, i didnt require some statistics sites to know that from what i watched. I dont know what your Whoscored mean by "key passes" hitherto, and thats not a shameful thing. All I know was most of KDB’S passes and crosses where aimless and useless and was easily dealt with by our defence especially Maguire.

3. His key passes yesterday was wayward, he can decide to make shot passes to boost his percentage, thats not my problem. But his passes did not trouble the defence AT ALL.

4. Thats clearly an oversight and moreover RVN was the top scorer in 2002/2003 season, and PFA player the previous season. While its not correct its a clear indication that I dont rush to mindless lifting in Wikipedia to make my points. Same with Rooney.

You can adore both player thats fine. But my point is if folks here or wherever decide to take up an agenda against Bruno, by overhyping KDB, to make a player who keep breaking records within his short spell in EPL to look bad, then i am free to point out mine too. KDB is not as good and established as most of you make him to be. He has not achieved anything in football that is out of this world, that's the point I am making and that's absolutely the truth. For a player of his supposed quality and age, he is given too much byes for folding in key moments despite surrounding himself with stupendous quality both at Club and International level.
At the bolded, key passes and wayward can't be in the same sentence. For a pass to be a key pass, it can't be a wayward. I agree that he made a lot of wayward passes yesterday, but the key ones weren't wayward, it's just that the player it got to failed to utilize it.

I remember one very scintillating cross KdB whipped in towards the Sterling on a platter towards the end of the match, only for the lad to nod the ball like a fool away from the goal post when he had the chance to score with Lindelof already on the floor and Henderson rooted at the spot, much to my excitement.


That was a key pass wasted by Sterling. KdB had a poor game yesterday by his standards but his key passes not troubling us wasn't down to him but his team-mates squandering the chances.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Beorn: 11:54am On Mar 08, 2021
I don't see the need of this disparaging remarks on KdB or Bruno. Both are fantastic players. No player can be good every match.

You don't need to run down one to elevate the other.


I'm a huge fan of Bruno and while it's a fact that Bruno has out-performed KdB this season SO FAR, I PERSONALLY rate KdB above Bruno in general, taking note of KdB's scintillating performance over the years and not just this season. KdB is a midfield god.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Beorn: 11:45am On Mar 08, 2021
A key stat: in the opening 20 minutes Kevin De Bruyne completed three passes. Three!


It has been a slightly fretful return for De Bruyne and here he was terrible in patches, pushing too hard, playing from the start like it was the 88th minute, and he was required to carry this team on his back.
