Creative writing is much more on the side of imagination rather than experience. I'm sure J.K Rowling never flew in the sky with a broom stuck in between her laps.

This is getting - sorry, this has gotten completely out of hand. We need an investigative bureau in Nigeria for bleep sake! The Army's primary job is not investigation, they are not suited for these kind of work.

[quote author=]They are either gold diggers or use gold diggers' methods and tactics to pursue happiness. grin

"Don't you want a man who can spend on you?" is a common line I keep hearing from my aunts and cousins. Sorry, but that's gold digging. Can't convince me otherwise. One can make excuses and/or blame it on environment, conditions, etc., but let's call a spade a spade.[/quote]

This is a very moot and pathetic argument to explain the greed of (most) Nigerian ladies.

If all they seek is "happiness", and money is what can bring them such happiness - why cant they work hard for their own money? Why should they risk their happiness on another human being - when they can easily get their own money and be нαρρү to Timbuktu as they wishes.

Is there a law against ladies earning their upkeep?

And further more, are the few independent ladies we have not нαρρү?

He's asking his fans? Seriously? WTF happened to 'Googling' something? Anyway I hope he does submit it once he figures out how. The film is in 'English' right? And that has completely different rules. There is NO 'foreign award' but there is a 'foreign LANGUAGE' category as far as I'm aware... again with different rules.

Oh and you need to get to the 'nomination' stage first before you can even dream of winning.

I felt it was awkward and very unprofessional for him to be asking his fans about it too. He has many hollywoodians as friends - he could easily ask them privately.

And I think you are mistaken (I kinda misled you, sorry) - by 'foreign awards', I didnt mean it as a category under Oscars. I meant it as "awards or group of awards" that are "foreign"

My first post on this thread attests to that.

On the issue of winning Oscars, I never said "Onye Ozi" will win it or not. I only said;

This is Obi's ATTEMPT to win/or be nominated for Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film category.

Why did I say that? Because he chose to use Igbo language as the primary language for the film.

Did you guys read my first post at all?

that's impossible cos we don't enter our movies for oscars in nigeria. So even if your movie is the best thing to ever happen to the movie world, you ain't getting oscars, sorry.

I'm sorry - but what do you mean by impossible?

Were we banned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) never to submit a movie?

The fact that no Nigerian is YET to enter a movie for Oscars Award does NOT mean it will never happen.

And I saw on twitter, Kunle Afolayan asking his fans the procedures for submitting a film for a foreign award. I'm sure he intends to submit October 1st.

So, if October 1st is good enough, he might win an Oscar, sorry.

Apparently, Obi's attempt to win or to be nominated for the Oscars' Best Foreign Language film category.

How much?
Art, Graphics & Video / Re: Aerial Filming And Photography in Nigeria by Briareos(m): 7:49pm On Dec 11, 2013
How much does the camera cost in Nigeria?



Joagbaje:

I actuay used a gopro hero3 black edition . It can shoot in 4k though, I shot it it 1080p it's not only that I reduced the quality also during editing . The reason was to make it easy to play for viewers . If it's professional job I would shoot in 2k upwards . But thanks for pointing it out.

Bros...how have you been na..?
I have been looking for how to get the pdf version of that script.
Does any one know where I can get this particular Charlie Kaufman script in pdf?

I just emailed it to you. I've been good o. I've been peeping from the window.

@Sholay, maybe it was because I read the script first. I was like "lemme just glance through the first page", before you know it - i was already at the ending.

Also, the script has a different ending.
TV/Movies / Re: TV/Movies Chat Room - "THE CINEMA GUEST LOUNGE" by Briareos(m): 9:36pm On Nov 30, 2013
IMHO, the film didnt do justice to the script. Charlie killed it.
