Am vexéd ooo 6months and Insurgent HD isn't out ... Is d Film made of gold abi kini.....

I think the hand holding that movie is tight. I've been longing, hoping, praying, just to see a copy online by mistake but to no avail. I'll just keep searching sha.

Psalmwellcology:

dataconnect316:

*coughs*

ExInferis:
i watched Chappie last night with elevated expectations (me being a sci-fi buff) and i must say the experience was terrible. After the brilliant District 9 i had high hopes for director Neill Blomkamp, i even forgave him for the tepid Elysium, but this...this is a travesty. who ever funded the production of chappie needs to be shot, along with Blomkamp, his wife, sigourney weaver, and hugh jackman.

this film is so bad, so terrible, so useless, so riddled with gaping plotholes they literally appear like sinkholes in every scene.

without much ado, here is everything wrong with Chappie in bulletpoints:

1. Future south africa decides robocops are a good idea, but neglected to have a backup plan in case the machines--being machines--failed. Also the government didnt care much for supervising the main armament and robotics manufacturer.

2. Tetravaal, the company making the robots, looks more like an accounting firm than a robot mass producer. its chief scientists and enginners huddle over desks instead of research labs. Heck, even the singular brains behind the company's only successful product has a small table in the midst of the clerical hoi polloi.

3. Tetravaal is the most bullsh1t company ever when it comes to security. The main Guard Key, the master key to the robots firmware is a mere USB key, which is very much copyable, and is kept in the most unsecure room with nary a guard nor camera, nor alarms, nor any sort of protection. evidently anyone can just walk in and pick it up.

4. the engineers have a great degree of latitude within the compoany. they come and go as they please, access any facility, open any door, enter any level, access every computer and programs, and run whatever code, even malware. all the while there are no guards, no cameras, no alarms, no forms to sign, no permissions to be asked.

5. Tetravaal fully funds the Moose program run by the villain vincent but yet discarded it because it was "big, lumbering, over powered". Er, didnt you see the AutoCad before commission millions, probably billions, to build a fully functional vertsion of the darn thing?

6. Appaerently Tetravaal emnployees, even the ones who work in high security and sensitive projects, are not under protective surveillance.

7. in the wacky and improbable world of Chappie, a computer programmer can create a fully functional "human consciousness" in a matter of hours. And have said program ready for deployment without test running.

8. Deon is apparently the only human being capable of writing complex code completely free of bugs. im a programmer, and even for a few hundreds of lines of code, i spend a great deal of time debugging. i tried creating a first person shooter game with Blender and later Unreal and tons of prefab resources, with only 15 thousand lines of code but the scripting (in python) nearly ruined me after countless cans of Redbull. gave up after 2 years and just one serviceable map barely 500 square meters.

9. so after the bullsh1t "consciousness" update (ChappieConsciousness.dat file, haha) chappie started off as nothing more than a curious child who could only mimic gestures and parrot spoken phrases. a few scenes later he was blabbing nonstop and questioning human propensities with none of the mental progression expected.

10. If the moose robot was controlled via telekinesis using a daft VR-like contraption called a "neural helmet", why was vincent using a HOTAS stick to control the stup1d thing?

11. so all the robocops were wiped out via a malware and the wonky USB guard key thingy, and the police has no contingency plans so criminals are free to roam and cause bloody mayhem. so where was the army? the national guard? anyone? why was there no sense of panic in joburg and even within tetravaal iteself?

12. vincent, in the ofice on a monday morning, physically attacked Deon the star employee of tetravaal and even threatened him with a gun in full glare of every one. and vincent didnt even get a query from HR?

13. Deon finds out that vincent was responsible for bricking the robocops, and instead of reporting to the CEO or whoever, deon fumingly storms to vincent's pathetic workstation, an in front of everyone, deon threatens to spill the beans and expose vincent. he never did.

14. the gangsters of joburg are a joke. so is joburg law enforcement. a couple of villains and chappie robbed a bullion van on TV and no one bothered to trace the villains.

15. why do both deon and vincent have unfettered access to their robotic creations? why should vincent have full access to a militarily formidable and fully armed robot without any checks and balances or oversight?

16. why is a fully functional robot (the one chappie gets transferred into at the end) a prototype?

17. how can chappie, a robot running off a hard disk, transafer his consciousness using a neural helmet? isnt a neural helmet meant for reading human brain scans?

18. if the USB key needs to be physically plugged into the robots to be firmware upgraded (or virus infected), how come vincent only needed to plug it into some random Acer desktop only to upload his malware?

19. as regards 18 above, how were they able to upload Yolandi's consciousness remotely? didnt they need the master key again? and why is the preoduction facility still powered and online since the government banned all further output?

20. so Tetravaal has the most insecure network and computers that can logged into remotely to design, build, and program a robot? if it can be done remotely why does anyone come to work?

21. so how do they plan on getting yolandi out of the tetravaal facility after building her, seeing as robot production was banned?


these are just some of the plotholes, inconsistencies, and poorly realized internal logic of chappie. the acting is even worse, the theme hammy and handfisted, the motivations questionable, the plot tedious, and the endless deus ex machina laughable in its frequency and absurdity.

in a word, chappie is a terrible movie, the year's worst after jupiter ascending.

chappie is for sado-masochists only. please avoid

Lmao! At last someone that shares the same thought as me.

Anyone seen survivor?

ITbomb:
You mean after 8 episodes and 2 more to go, this show with cut and joined half baked episodes should even be nominated?

Unlike other seasons where the story line was directed and focused , this season look confused to the producer, jumping from half written plot to another. I had to wait for 3 weeks before watching 3 episodes straight cos compared to previous seasons, this is the most disjointed of them all.

Episode 8 was a masterpiece though

I pray it ends well. 2 to go

My man, quit complaining and see something else.

Seun:
behold Jon Bolt; the fastest sprinter in all the seven kingdoms.

Like you really have it at the back of your mind that Jon will stand and fight them all?
Even Danny, her army of unsullied and her dragons will sprint just by sighting those WWZ type of flying sh*t. I was expecting Jon to do the most honourable thing ever in the beginning.....RUN. He who fights and run, live to fight another day.

gj22:
my take
----------------
-i love arya..enough said

-i love the Cersei actress, she is on point

-tyrion and dany gist...best dany scene ever since the rebirth scene

-#hopeForReekdemption2015

-that wildling battle was awesome. Jesus christ... WINTER HAS COME. THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST EPISODE SO FAR THIS SEASON.. JON SNOW NAILED IT.

-I WAS STARTING TO LIKE THAT WILDING WOMAN AAAAAND SHE'S DEAD... THEN UNDEAD.

-THAT LAST SEQUENCE WHERE FROST MAUL (THE WW KING) RAISED HIS HAND, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO FREEZE THE SEA AND WALK TO THE BOAT AND KILL THEM ALL...BUT SOMETHING MORE EPIC HAPPENED



BOOK READERS, THIS IS EXACTLY HOW WE FEEL MOST EPISODE WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

THOSE THAT WERE SAYING THIS SEASON IS BORING...ARE YOU F*CKING ENTERTAINED?

I will be uploading images and gifs for notable scenes later on

I don't hear them complaining anymore and one even said he wished he read something like this in the book.

This is how the TV series is meant to be.....AWESOME!

kay9:
All hail Jon Snow!!!!

I'm not sure but I think one of those wildling leaders called him "King Crow". Definitely rewatching this episode as soon as I'm home... That last "world war z" scene was epic.

You're right. I'm not done with this episode just yet. I think king crow just made public enemy no 1 and I expect king white walker to send white walker assasins after Jon.

So what's sansa going to do now that she knows that her brothers and true lord of the north is alive?

UjSizzle:
Oh God where did you guys download from? I can't find this episode on my regular sites.

Fztvseries.mobi

I choose the dark knight because the Joker made it so awesome. For marvel, I'll go with thor.

Seun:
Some people may not have watched it yet...

Oya give us a thread where we can spoil the series beyond repair and tag it "game of thrones spoilers".

There's no way one can watch this last episode and decide to keep it for themselves.

Seun, what's up with u locking GOT thread? Don't you like progress in the world?

GOT season 5 episode 8 the best so far!

It depends. Seeing as things are now and with what I know, putting me in a place where I found myself in a position of power. Where I can step on innocent people and still feel alright. With the knowledge that there's no God, no heaven, NO!

nzeobi:
I continue seeing this shecow as a coward until he starts attacking politicians and leaves civilians alone.

And you think politicians are going to make it easy for him go get to them easily.

I believe in buhari. He's going to go right.

Just saw the Lego movie and it was awesome.

I like the way u murdered the movie. Nice! Who's next?

Gbola5:
Granny: Do
Targaryens become
immune to fire once
they "bond" to their
dragons?
George_RR_Martin:
Granny, thanks for
asking that. It gives
me a chance to clear
up a common
misconception.
TARGARYENS ARE
NOT IMMUNE TO
FIRE! The birth of
Dany's dragons was
unique, magical,
wonderous, a miracle.
She is called The
Unburnt because she
walked into the flames
and lived. But her
brother sure as hell
wasn't immune to that
molten gold.
Revanshe: So she
won't be able to do it
again?
George_RR_Martin:
Probably not.

Did it ever occur to you that visery may be danny's half brother?

dljbd1:
Survivor, Unfinished Business.

How was it?

TonySpike:
Of course, Marvel heroes are absolutely almighty! They have no weaknesses or shortcomings. Their storylines are flawless and emotionless...

You're right. They are only made to be seen once in a life time.

blublahd:
he isnt a pure targ like dany

Then I don't see him riding a dragon then

severee:
Mtchew f*cking predictable death come on they could do better why didn't they kill chiwetel instead? Bone say na actor shock value is the best way to sell me a movie just check out;
-The departed
-Scarface
-oldboy

The departed was something else. The director for just kill all the characters make we know say nothing remain.

ApexTitan:
Seun has repented. In the past he had no tolerance for discussions outside the TV series and used to hand out lengthy bans like chin chin. Methinks its his new found love for Dornish women that has changed his heart.

Lol



Well, with all the speculations going on and some strong point some people presented, tyrion may or may not be a targaryen. For Jon snow, I doubt if he has dragon blood in him. My reason is this, if you have dragon blood that makes you immune to fire abi? But snow got burnt while killing two men of the night's watch that turned to white walkers.

Severee, I think they dropped those bombs just to kill okeoma or whatever his name was. So fvcking annoying!

severee:
Someone told me that brad pitt and lupita nyongo are looking to make a movie version of americanah
Na true?

So I heard

olu4life:
D download button is always there na

What's the official site?

Sleekyshuga:
I got the Americanah novel 3 weeks ago but I haven't read it yet due to school.. Maybe, during the hols..

Read it? What's it like?

It's so awesome!

Severee, if the same guy try do the movie adaptation of Americanah, na to send sango after am.

jorhney:
has anyone download that avengers age of ultron on showbox ?? is it in Cam .? don't wanna waste my mb

How can someone download from showbox?

MrLayih:
maybe I should check those movies out.I like soldier vs insurgents kind of movies,but American sniper comes in one new mad dimension

So you haven't seen those two and you're here telling us that have seen a lot of war movies that American sniper is da bomb!
May I add to the list pearl harbor, black hawk down, enemy at the gate, war horse. You may find them interesting than that American sniper.

MrLayih:
it's not overhyped,if you have watched it....you will agree with me

Who said anything about hype? Just that there's nothing special the movie. I find we were soldiers and saving private Ryan more interesting.
