Phones / Re: Has Anyone Here Activated Esim In Nigeria? by IbrahimMav: 4:52am On Sep 24, 2022
fineboynl:
it’s a trial. You don’t know what trials are?

For a service to be free trial, it means the service is free for a limited amount of time, usually 6-12 months, after which, you'd start paying for the service.

So the guy you quoted is right, cuz as of now, MTN esim is free.

Same here. Downloaded some days back.
Started it yesterday night but will finish later tonight.

@ Bolded, That's the same complaint most people who have watched the movie and read the comics say.

When I first watched it, I haven't read the Garth Ennis Hellblazer comics so I enjoyed it for what it was.
On second watch, i've read the comics and to my chagrin, I saw it's a terrible adaptation, so I didn't enjoy it as much.
On the 3rd watch, I'm fully aware it's a terrible adaptation but I wanted to appraise it with a fresher perspective, and guess what, I liked how it ditched the source and did its own thing.

My point is, if you don't see it as a direct adaptation but as a standalone film about a lung cancer afflicted chain-smoking exorcist trying to bribe his way into heaven but ends up getting entangled in a secret conspiracy between Mammon and Gabriel, it's a fun movie.

Constantine (2005) >rewatch<.....8/10

It’s a terrible adaptation of the Hellblazer comics, but taken on its own it’s a fun movie.

Blue Ruin (2013)......9/10

Powerful film with equally powerful message.
It brought this Confucius quote to mind

''Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.''

Using same logic,one of her parent is white...is she a white woman?

Technically, yes.
Ethnically, no.
In a perfect world, she's both black and white,
In this flawed world, however, she won't be categorized as white due her ancestry and skin color.
She's a light-skinned black woman.

There's some kind of bully alliance going on in this section. It has been going on for some time now. This alliance comprises of Kaycee7, Abduleez1, pu7pl3, and GloriousGbola.

If you fight one, the rest will team up and bully you into submission, so I'm advicing everyone to stop engaging with these guys. They exhibit a hive behaviour that's as horrible as it's fascinating. Not cool.


God bless you brother.
I thought I was being paranoid.
Having 4 people zero in on me for having an opinion feels....weird.
The funny thing is I wasn't even being combative, I was just airing an observation
Then out of nowhere, it's 5 against 1...lol.
Sha I'm done with them, i've already said my piece.

Hmm.

Is top gun based on fiction though?

All the fighters exist, the countries exist, top gun school exists.

I assume you're playing the devil's advocate, so i'll bite.

The jetfighters, the countries, and top gun school are real, yes.
However, being based on real life doesn't in any way undermine a fictitious element.
Fiction by definition is something possible but not true.
Where as fantasy = fiction, fiction ≠ fantasy.
Many fictions are based on real life but their plots are fictitious, and this is where it matters.

Can you draw historical parallels to the plot lines of the Top Gun movies?
If you can, I'll humbly submit an apology for my grave error,
But if you can't, then I see no reason why you would even attempt this question.

Why didn't you separate fiction from reality when talking about how the Tulsa massacre was portrayed on film?

Wow?!

So this guy is actually trying to compare a film based on history to one based on fiction

Being apolitical doesn't mean I shouldn't say anything when a pro russia contributor rates a highly rated hollywood military movie lower than it deserves for, check this out, for pandering to america.

Next thing, he'd be asking why do ducks quack, lol.

I guess what abduleez1 is saying is we are past the 80s when a single us commando could take out entire platoons of Russian or vietcong soldiers.


Or when a 17 year old could steal an f15 and fly to a hostile Arab nation, take out their air support and single handedly rescue his pow dad (iron Eagle)


The 2000s and beyond featured much more grounded military movies and did not pretend that us enemies had an incompetent and incapable military

That said its an American movie and a pro military one, so this is what we should expect. The hero kicking arse and flying off into the sunset

Exactly, it's a hollywood military movie, and as a rule will always favour america.
Russia and China have their own propaganda movies and I enjoy each and every one.
Unlike some people, when I watch movies, I watch them to be entertained.
Being apolitical, I'm basically Switzerland.

I'm not fighting for him
I'm just baffled how you can read all that and then say he is "very pro Russian" like what he said were not factual or what?
Do you genuinely believe those 4th Gen jets actually stood a chance IRL? Or are you just "very pro American" ?

Instead of being baffled by what I said, look inwards and ask yourself why you can't separate fiction from reality.
When you write a thesis just because you can't stand the notion that a dated Jet could best a next generation fighter in a hollywood movie, then you know you have issues.

I like that you've your friend's back, that's good, I admire loyalty.
However, be careful how you pick your battles.
Abduleez has always been a russian guy, and generally anti US.
Just type Russia next to his name in Nairaland search box and see for yourself.

Sorry to inform you and GloriousGbola, but there are Uncle Toms who deny the Tulsa Massacre. I can't believe that there are people so foolish.

Anyway, I'm happy to see that there are Nigerians that are internationally aware. Stay woke.


Oh yes, I look forward to watching the unhinged contents these nutters upload on their youtube channels,
Their delusions of grandeur is a stuff of comedy. grin
Some of these people are either sick in the head or world class trolls..
There are the flat earthers...

There's one called Tila Tequila, a Vietnamese-american media personality, who genuinely believes she's a white supremacist.
Her channel is a plethora of batshit contents.

it is the watchmen tv show that showed the tulsa massacre, something white america would rather pretend did not happen - and something all the aspiring house niggers who are hopping on the all lives matter train need to see to understand just where black america is coming from and how much still needs to be done

I like to believe that in an alternate world, the Tulsa genocide never happened.
Tulsa being the black wallstreet, becomes one of the financial hubs of american economy,
Helps the african-american to better their lives and live comparably influential lives like the jews, and also wield considerable influence in American economy and politics.

Top Gun: Maverick

From the first one hour I've watched last night, so far it's really good. Great but I ain't seeing the hype Hollywood critics and audience were showering it. Around a 7.5 rating for me so far. And I know I might not like the final 1hr when the dogfights begin. undecided

At least they've got their fighter classes right and theoretically how to embark on the mission. Na D_day execution remain.

The last 30 minutes is the best part of the film.
It pushed a 7/10 movie to a 10/10.

They outclassed Ajax tonight.
They limited Ajax to only 3 shots the whole game.

I love action movies but as soon as Bruce Willis and Kevin Dillion started shooting three to four action movies in a year....

Bruce Willis has dementia and is no longer acting.
All the films coming out this year featuring him are the ones he shot last year before throwing in the trowel.
After this year, we will no longer see new Bruce Willis films.

Jimmy in his personal life, Saul in his professional life, and later Gene as a fugitive.
In the end, he reverted to Jimmy as his professional name.

Chuck Mcgill was sauls older brother in the show. A very successful lawyer and A real dick. Man kept blocking sauls career because the law is dignified.

Chichanery is the name of an episode where saul really and truly bleeped the guy over. It was painful and funny to watch at the same time

Though saul is also a bastard in his own way.

You need to watch the show. So many stellar characters and performances. Kim, Lalo, Mike, gus, saul, chuck, Howard.

You can call him Jimmy McGill, that's his real name.
Saul Goodman is just an alias.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022).....4/10

I wanted to like this movie but I can't defend the indefensible.
The whole movie is like one giant spoof, and not even a funny one at that.
Taika Waititi goofed big time on this one.
He was given too much freedom and went overboard.
Fame probably got into his head.
