DJ exclusive is really trying. Blame the housemates. They got no vibes. He has taken over the mike in a bid to lift their spirits. I really feel for him coz he himself knows the housemates are dulling him compared to last years .
The man was so frustrated he yelled at Frodd to drop phone and dance.


Those HMs are borefest. Snapping pics while asses are shaking on the dance floor.


Imagine me in that party. Avala's ass would be permanently glued to waist. The chick was emitting hotness and looking for who to rock and Frood was taking pics.

Nelson and Gideoni are waste of fine men. Boring in all weather. See Mike shaking body but you home based Dullapos no fit shake body.

Ike dey there dey form Tupac. Frodd (you disappoint me sha), Mike and Tuoyo, thanks for trying though y'all can't dance.

Waste of 2 hrs of my life I'll never get back

Almost everything was wrong with tonight's party, every fvking thing!!

For starters, the party arena was trash. Small. Compacted. Lack of space. Compressed. How do you compress people in such a tight corner and expect them to dance? They got it totally wrong.

DJ Xclusive was average tonight. He used to be best DJ back in BBA and past BBN, right now, he seems to have lost his marbles. He looks like the ghost of his former brilliant best. But to be fair, he gave it his best shot, the HMs were just too dumb. Xcklusive started very badly but he improved, and despite all the magic he tried to conjure up, the HMs were just too frigid, docile and clueless as to how to dance. Im short, I don't think if a combination of the best DJs in the world could've gotten 95% of these HMs to dance.

The Housemates. *spits* Entertainment wise, this is the dullest HMs I've been unfortunate to witness. All looking good without a single strain of good entertainment value in them. The worst were the men. I mean, Avala (I'm glad that finally people are noticing how pretty she is) was looking irresistible tonight and looking to mingle, Mercy was whining her waist seductively, Khaffi was hyperactive, Tasha was even twerking badly, Thelma was great. There was asses to rock and yet the dumb men were busy walking around like pepper sellers. Nelson was even sitting down. Gideoni was no where to be found. Jeff and Ike were busy being invisible. Tuoyo and Mike really tried, the rest.... In short, let me stop before I get really pissed.

Then Kayode was totally useless, constantly showing a particular area and some ladies constantly. Tacha was dancing and we couldn't get to enjoy her. Foolish Kayode was busy showing only Thelma, Diane, Khafi, Mercy and Avala.


I just tire. Dj Xclusive messed up, but last season's HMs would've still be able to rock thst party. Useless dull HMs!!

Infinity War definitely! The last hour or so of Endgame is hella interesting, but the first 2 hours is nothing to write home about and super dull, especially after 15 minutes... The movie is unnecessarily long

Quite frankly I prefer the first Avengers movie



That is still the best for me

Infinity War was good , Endgame is perfect ending for us . Began slowly and emotional, but when it paced up, infinity war was blown away
Thanks, guys. Your posts has given me insights on what to really expect.

I didn't find it scary overall, I felt that Jordan Peele had an interesting, 'edgy' concept but the execution wasn't great. I was confused because a lot of things just didn't make sense lol

Lool I can be the same way with long movies, I can legit take a 15 minute nap grin

I've watched Endgame, it was kind of slow in the beginning but by the time the pace picked up I didn't even realise how long it was anymore (and didn't fall asleep lol). I enjoyed the movie personally, I think it's worth a watch smiley
Between Infinity War and Endgame, which is more interesting?

Hey guys, How do I install subtitles in a downloaded movie??
If you've downloaded the subtitle already and are using VLC as your media player, where you see the play button and other options, click on option before the play option, click on select subtitle, navigate through your folders to the folder where the subtitle file is located and click on it, automatically, the film will now play with the subtitles.

So to summarize, Eddie Redmayne deserved the award more than him? Hahahaha

Are you talking about the same Danish Girl that I couldn't bring myself to finish? Such a borefest. Btw, according to overall polls, Eddie came 3rd, a distant 3rd at that. Matt Damon beat him to 2nd place. Make what you can of that.
LOL. Do you know Manchester By Sea is a sleep-inducing pill to me? The epitome of borefest. Bored me so much that I slept off three times before I'd finish the movie. Yet it's highly rated and won an Oscar for Casey Affleck. Make no mistake, I love The Revenant more than The Danish Girl any day, anytime, I'm just highlighting that being fun is not good enough a criteria to give an actor an Oscar. There are more popular ways to readily get an Oscar even if the character is boring:

1. Portraying a legendary or biographical character like Gary Oldham portraying Winstone Churchill in Darkest Hour or Eddie portraying the character in Theory of Everything, or Dicaprio in Wolf of Wolf Street, or Denzel portraying Malcom X in the movie with the same name (although Denzel was denied an Oscar for his performance).

2. And while at it, either gaining or losing weight, or acting disabled. Voters loved that shït. For example the Best Actor wins for
Geoffrey Rush’s turn as an idïot savant pianist in “Shine,” Tom Cruise’s portrayal of paraplegic Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in “Born on the Fourth of July,” Daniel Day-Lewis’ foot-painting cerebral palsy victim, Christy Brown in “My Left Foot” and Eddie Redmayne for the Stephen Hawking bio-pic “The Theory of Everything.”.

Oscar awards for Best Actor or Supporting Actor are more easily given for those 2 reasons than "being fun" criteria.

As for coming 3rd in polls, it's nothing shocking; Actors who deserved to win Oscars during their time didn't come first in the polls either.

But before the issue drags on unnecessarily, I agree with you that the oppositions standing in the way of Leo in 2016 were weak. I'm just saying, compared to other vintage Leo's performance, The Revenant is lagging far behind.

spent 3 weeks finishing that movie cuz I was always sleeping halfway ....he won the movie based on physical effort and energy directed towards it...but overall acting certainly not the reason...abegi been watching movie from my mom' womb and telling me an Oscar for that is worthy for someone like DiCaprio nor Casey affleck brie Larson or Frances mcdormand..it's a disappointment on his part and I know he is aware
3 weeks ke? Shuooo. shocked shocked. Was the movie that boring to you? I finished it at a go and never found it boring. But what juxtaposed with other Leo's top notch movies, it pales very deep in comparison.

Clearly, you quoted me out of context. To elaborate, you were quick to criticize DiCaprio's 2016 Oscars win by boldly asserting that his victory was undeserving due to a tepid performance in a "wildlife documentary" (lolz), conveniently forgetting that other nominees might have fared far worse. Surely, you don't really believe that nonsense about the Oscars doing him a favor by "dashing" him an award, do you? I mean, the guy cleared all the prestigious precursor awards going into the Oscars. Or would you say Golden Globe and Tonys organizers did him favors too? Leonardo DiCaprio must be one hell of a charmer!
Saying it's a wildlife documentary kinda diminished the quality of the film, I admit, but it wasn't to make fun of the film but to truly show it's not in the same range of top Leo's films or acts.

And your last sentence is not a strong foundation to build your defence of Leo's Oscar win on. Do you think that's the first time Leo had won precursor awards going into the Oscars and yet lost out at the grand stage? If you think it is, then think again. DiCaprio's portrayals of Howard Hughes in The Aviator (2004) won him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama. His performance as Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) won him the Golden Globe award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. What I'm trying to say is that, there are many actors out there that won precursor awards going into Oscars and lost at the Oscars. If we are judging with your analogy, then Leo would've won with the Aviator and Wolf of Wall Street which I admit are better than The Revenant in all levels.

I still insist that Leo got that Oscar because it's been long overdue, not because of any piece of great spectacular acting. Eddie Redmayne won an Oscar for portraying stephen Hawking, then for portraying "Einar Wegener" in The Danish Girl he should have gotten Oscar,because his performance in The Danish Girl was better than that of The Theory of Everything or at par. Your opinion that people would easily forget his acting (or that of other actors nominated alongside Leo for that year) or term it boring shouldn't count after all Casey Affleck was the epitome of boredom in Manchester By Sea and yet won an Oscar for it. The brilliance of an acting is considered, the values of the film as well or what it potrays, but never the fun (or lack of it) of the act. He faced a less commercially successful movie in The Danish Girl, that's why he won. If The Danish Girl had as much marketing and significance as Theory of Everything had, nobody would be debating the worthiness of Leo's Oscar win with The Revenant.

Bottom line, DiCaprio's The Revenant was clearly not his best nor 2nd best nor even his 5th best, but in the 2016 Oscars, it was enough to snag him an Oscar since the competition that year was pretty weak, and for that reason, it was well deserved.
You added this addendum. Well, you can make an excuse for The Revenant based on this premise and you may be right. The competition that year were too weak.

Hahaha.

Do you know why I laughed? You don't know what you're talking about.

Anyhoo, take a long look at the list below:

- Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
- Matt Damon, The Martian
- Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
- Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
- Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

These are the 5 actors nominated for the "best actor" category, that year. All their roles are what some of you would call boring. Most of their character roles are adapted from biographies. Yet, an average guy on the street won't be able to recall any of these characters as were portrayed by these men, except DiCaprio's. You are so quick to rain on DiCaprio's parade, but forgot to factor in the fact that the competition might have been weaker. This is what happens when you let sentiments drive you instead of logic.

Bottom line, DiCaprio's The Revenant was clearly not his best nor 2nd best nor even his 5th best, but in the 2016 Oscars, it was enough to snag him an Oscar since the competition that year was pretty weak, hence, it was well deserved.
How could you say that I'm raining on Leo's parade when I've been Leo's fan from the first time I watched Titanic, and followed it up with The Man in the Iron Mask? I've been of the opinion for so long that Leo deserved an Oscar award for his role in Gangs of New York, just that he came up against the king of Oscars in Daniel Day-Lewis. I cannot rain on the parade of someone I was so gutted for when he's denied an Oscar for his role in Wolf of Wall Street.

You're even proving me right by saying the competition for that year's category was weak. It solidifies my opinion that The Revenant was nothing spectacular. If The Revenant is compared to other Leo's movies, it'll come up short. Google Leo's top acting, The Revenant is barely in any site's top 5. I'd take Eddie Redmayne's acting in The Danish Girl over the Leo's acting in The Revenant, boring or not. Being boring is not a criteria in my choice of good acting. After all someone ignored the spectacular performance of James McAvoy in Split and rated it poorly. Some of my friends found Eddie's acting in Theory of Everything to be boring as well, but it got him a well-deserved Oscar award.

I disagree. His method acting on The Revenant was spectacular.

Attacked by a bear, mauled half to death, managed to kill said bear, left for dead by his colleagues, son got murdered protecting him, somehow able to rouse himself up inspite of his injuries, buried son, evade native indian attack, saved a native indian woman from gang-rape, stole horses, killed a few Frenchmen, took shelter inside the gut of a dead horse, ate a raw meat to keep from starvation, managed to make it back to base, sets out again the following morning, tracked his son's murderer down, fought him, defeated him in a short but brutal scuffle.

The spectacular part? He did very little talking in the whole process. Why? 'Cuz he didn't need to. He knew to convey the necessary emotions through his body language and expressions, that any more dialogue than was needed would have done him a disservice. Method acting 101. Very few actors have this particular talent/skill.


Great Gatsby is awesome, and yes, he deserved an Oscar for it. Hell, he deserved an Oscar for more than half of all of his movies.
Leo's Oscar award for The Revenant was not merited, it's more like "dashed" to him because he's been denied on multiple occasions in the past. It's been long overdue that's why he was given that Oscar. The Revenant showed perseverance and determination, and Leo was fantastic in it, but it's nothing so "extraordinary" to deserve an Oscar. Movie was like a wildlife documentary.

Leo has pulled off more epic acting than what was seen on The Revenant. His Oscar-deserving roles are in movies like

Wolf of Wall Street
Departed
Aviator
Catch Me If You Can.
Titanic
Shutter Island


The Revenant is not Oscar worthy. Can you compare the brilliant acting in Wolf of Wall Street to that survival wildlife documentary called The Revenant?
