Simon Ekpa might be a liar. But Wikipedia is not a credible source of information. Some universities advise students to avoid sourcing information from Wikipedia.

Even though articles on Wikipedia can be written or edited by anyone, you can't just write things in without evidence, all your information has to be sourced from somewhere or they will be removed by the admins.
That's pretty reliable to me.

Better still, instead of using wikipedia as source, you can simply use use the source that wikipedia cited as source..

Flamemignon1:

Just gave me more reasons not to see it but seriously how did "Himalayan night" snag that WB deal?

I remember reading from somewhere that his films since "The Sixth Sense" had turn a profit, so it kinda make sense that WB would wanna tap into this.
Say what you'll about M. Night Shyamalan but the man knows his audience.

I like how he funds his own movies so he probably would have ended up funding "Trap" himself anyway.

A Knock at the Cabin (2023).....6.5

Deviates greatly from the source material which I kinda resent cos the deviation voided the plot twist which in turn diluted the climax considerably.
What's the point of a psychological horror if there are no plot twists??
I enjoyed the acting nonetheless even if the simple plot was a tad too predictable.
Dave killed it as Leonard.

Angelfrost:


Sorry chief... It would a travesty to exclude King Mbappe from that list!

The most in form goal scorers right now.

Angelfrost:


Calm down...

Currently, it's:

Kylian Mbappe
Victor Osimhen
Marcus Rashford

In this order! No bias!

Oga, Mbappe is just returning from injury.
The most in form are Rashford, Osimhen, Kvara, Balogun and Lookman in no particular order.

John Dies at the End (2012).....8

Tried their best to bring the source material to life and succeeded somewhat.

+++++++

The Belko Experiment (2016).....8

Written by James Gunn, it's a well paced claustrophobic/survival horror about US expats trapped in a government building and forced by their employer to partake in a brutal social experiment.

Primary browser is Kiwi browser. It's chrome based, but has more features.

Secondary browser is Samsung internet. It's also chrome based.

Even big time phone sellers applauded my decision, you're too naive, who will you track with a damn digit code exactly, receipt is easily forged like I'm stupid and I won't go to the store he bought it for amor make verifications, bros you're very very naive.
How will you track him using nin o, read out the number into space and wait for him to appear right

Ironic calling somebody naive when you think like an illiterate lmao.
We're in the 21st century, hello.
Imagine thinking a piece of paper is more valuable than a NIN ffs.
Go and research how NIN works and how security agencies can track down the person the NIN is attached to, using only a smartphone.
Every NIN is connected to a sim the owners use on a daily basis.
Go to the appropriate website and you can track the owner of the NIN right down to his sitting room.

Meanwhile, someone could sell you a stolen item with a fake receipt.
As long as the receipt has no barcode or QR codes, it's nothing but a worthless piece of paper.
If you can't verify the authenticity of a receipt, it's worthless.

That's why online/digital shopping remains the best way to avoid buying stolen products cos it offers easily verifiable digital receipt.

The seller offering his NIN as guarantor is the next best thing as it's also digitally verifiable.

Anyhoo, I don't think your cock and bull story is true.
No one in their right mind will turn down a great deal just because a piece of paper is not available.

shogsman:

He dropped nin for me and that's not reason enough for me to buy, who do you want to use nin track when police comes to burst me for stolen phone

If the NIN is his, he can be tracked down easily.
All you have to do is verify that the NIN is his, that's all.

shogsman:
Would you risk buying a phone without the receipt cos you're getting a great deal out of it.
Someone is willing to sell me a Samsung note 10plus for 150k but it has no receipt, his excuse was he left the back unknowingly in his former apartment when he moved.
He is willing to sign an agreement with his nin though.
But I still refused to buy without that receipt I'm now looking for a new deal that could potentially cost me 50k more.

Did I made the right decision

You put to much trust on a piece of paper that's not verifiable and can easily be forged.
NIN on the other hand is easily verifiable and can't be forged.
If a seller is willing to use his NIN as a guarantor then he's legit.
You fvcked up bro.
You should have taken the deal.

Gmajor:


this wan na long talk. the guy no fine las las.
He is proof that Hollywood isn't all about looks.

its about looks most times, but not all the time

Hollywood put alot of emphasis on looks.
To have a shot at being a leading man/woman in Hollywood, an aspiring actor is expected to be good looking or at least photogenic.
Although sometimes, someone comes along who has a talent that transcends attractiveness and works their way up the food chain against all odds.
....Don Cheadle, Steve Buscemi, Whoopi Goldberg....

Having said that, Majors is an attractive young man.
He has that classic handsome negroid look.

Not everyone can rock broad features like he does.

OhBritannia:
Has any black movie ever done well in racist china?

Do you really expect a black themed movie to do well in china?

How well did the first black panther did in china?

Whites have many faults but they are still the biggest supporters of black craft in the whole world, More than asians.

How many blacks are in the whole of China compare to blacks in new York only?

The poor performance in China has nothing to do with race.
Disney made the film available for streaming 7 days ago.
With VPN, you can have access to contents that's barred in your country.
I reckon millions in China watched the film via VPN the moment it hit Disney+.

abduleez1:
Lol, Ibrahimmav my brother in the Lord...
I tell you say BP 2 isn't doing really good in China.

I held out hope that it'd do relatively well but in hindsight the late release was always going to impede it.

Plane (2023)....6.5

Generic,
Self aware,
Enjoyable.

The Death of Stalin (2017)....10

A satirical masterpiece.

oyaskii:
3hrs run time in 2023? Damien Chazelle is a fine film maker but my attention span recently have been on the edge so I'm avoiding movies over 2hrs runtime except it's absolutely necessary, so please was this worth the ridiculous runtime?

If you love Boogie Nights, you'll love this.
It has restless energy and isn't afraid to take a risk.
If you have a short attention span, this is not for you.
It's just the kind of movie you either hate or like, no inbetween.

Babylon (2022)....8

Criminally underrated.
Happy for Damien Chazelle.
Man still got it.

DOyaskii:
You are on a Horror/Thriller run?

Yep.
I'm leisurely going through the "100 Best Horror Movies of the 21st Century" that I discovered on dreadit.

DOyaskii:

Btw

Gore Verbinski did a madness with a "A cure for Wellness" (2016). The concept was so rad, looked a movie that Ari Aster would totally make. So i still wonder why the reviews were mixed to negative and why it was a box office bomb.

The negative reviews boggles the mind.
The cinematography, music, the symbolism, acting, foreshadowing, atmosphere, etc are top notch.
The only issues I had are the length and pacing,
If they had edited out 20 minutes from the film, it would have become a tightly woven mystery horror, a la Ari Aster movies.

All in all, this is one of those times that reviews don't tell the whole story.

Alone (2020)...8.5

A Good Woman Is Hard to Find (2019)....8

A Cure for Wellness (2016)...7.5

Seunpaul01:
Okay

There are two movies I'm kinda finding it hard to read meanings to...believe me, I enjoyed them. I just couldn't fathom their messages.

1. The Menu &

2. Everything Everywhere All at once.

I could understand that number 2 was trying to portray a kind of invisible war we fight in our mind or thoughts. A kind of fights that goes on in a troubled mind to accept some new or old situations or circumstances. You know

And number 1 is just the hardest to read meaning to. Like, how did she escape not being cooked like others. Fine, she took charge like a customer should when a service is being rendered to her, got her food ordered her way and was allowed to leave. Others could have followed her way and do the same but didn't. Also, it seems the chef was trying to punish the invited guests or let say, tourists, on their untrustworthy behavior. But why die with them.

Please, share the message you think these amazing movies were trying to pass if you have watched them. Let's learn.

1....When she visited the chef's house, while glancing at the portraits, she noticed that he was the happiest when he was making a hamburger.
2....You answered your own question. The chef has already made up his mind to kill the guest so even if they had emulated the hooker, it wouldn't have made any difference. He only let her go because she wasn't part of his original plan.

Miracood2:


The menu is utter nonsense if u look at it from a logical angle.

Why didn't anyone grow enough balls to smash the chefs head with a steel chair?

1....they are cowards.
2....the chef has his henchmen around him at all times, so even if someone had attempted to harm him, he'd have been thwarted just as quickly.

The Ritual (2017)....8.5

Similar to Midsommar but more intense, creepy and fvcked up.

The Dark and the Wicked (2020).....8

If you love Hereditary and Midsommar, you'll love this.

oyaskii:
Top Gun: Maverick??

EEAAO.

Illusioneffect:

The shocking thing about Aster's movies is the complexity of his movies and people can still understand and enjoy it nonetheless, he's like the Christopher Nolan of Horror Movies- complex and still understandable and interesting

Concurred.

Aflix:
Boss, I see the movie as just weird. I think they tried too hard to make it “artsy”.

It's not an artsy movie in any sense.
It's a folk horror with a scandinavian flavor.

Aflix:
For real! The theme of the movie should be weird, not horror. I didn’t see anything in the movie for it to be classified as horror.

Then you weren't paying attention.
