Lol, no even mention Barry Keoghan near this guy. That performance na Best Actor and no be mates with this gee at all!! Even Jacob Elordi gave a more believable performance as supporting actor than the over hyped Charles Melton. Many don't want to say it but all I see making this Charles Melton stuff be an overblown issue is cos he's Asian and there's hardly any Asian representation in the SAG Awards with PAST LIVES getting ignored also. It's just politically motivated.

How you take watch The Iron Claw?? 🧐🧐

Exactly 😂, that's the reason why I trust the SAG than the Oscars.
I'm not in Nigeria, watched it in cinemas

What's adventurous in Minecraft

Looks like you did not even play for ten minutes, Minecraft is a perfect adventure game- there are still more than 50 million players playing even now

Fans of this film dey fight for Twitter throughout yesterday.

I no really see anything wey any of that cast act to be this mad.

Wetin fans of Saltburn and Anatomy of a Fall wan dey do if na the reactions all this once dey cry since cos of dem ignore Charles Melton. I no see wetin him perform wey dey award worthy.

Oyaskii, how you reason this matter since you follow this season wella??

I don't even know the acting the Melton guy even did compared to Jeremy Allen White in Iron Claw😪an overbl0wn performance to me. Barry keoghan did a better job than Charles to me

iamoyindamola:
WTF
Minecraft fvcking hate that game

Fr My best game of all times. I understand why you don't like it tho, adventure games and RPG is not for everyone

Won't be long before some filmmakers now starts crying & b!tching AGAIN when videogame adaptations now become mainstream and the tentpoles of traditional studios.
Can't wait to see it...... thIS iS nOt cinEMa. 😂😂😂

A24 slowly beaten to join the big boys in producing more conventional stuff.

They've sucked the life out of book adaptations, video games adaptations will be more successful than book adaptations since they're already a trillion dollar industry.
I'm totally sure there'll be a Minecraft movie and a God of War movie coming soon

Society of the Snow 8.5

Tbf, it's a good premise but in my opinion, the story wasn't utilised to its full potential. It was so Bland for a survival movie

3 Body Problem- this is the first SciFi novel I ever completed and my best novel of all times
David and Weiss have been very brilliant in adapting books for shows so I have completed trust in them plus it looks so good

Please let the producers recoup their investment first na. Haba. The movie is not up to a month old. Since you don't want to pay to watch, the decent thing will be to allow those who spent millions recoup their money before we proceed to pirate their hard work.

Let us learn to do the right thing.

Tbf, I don't blame Nigerians not going to cinemas. One- there aren't a lot of cinemas, you'ld sometimes have to travel long distances just to watch a movie that you may not even be comfortable watching because sometimes it's noisy, stinky and stuffy, why stress yourself doing stressful stuff when you could just watch the same movie in the comfort of your home illegal or not.
It was when I got out of the country I realised pirating movies was a big deal- most Nigerians don't even know that. Can't imagine i'ld love movies if not for our beloved pirates

Naijaspiderman:
My groups on telegram don't have it yet. Can you recommend one for me?

Any group that posts the movie gets banned except you're using movie bots

Michelsmith12:
I'm watching star wars. My favorite movie is Star Wars The Force Awakens. It was the greatest part of star wars for me because of Harrison Ford. I liked his acting and character very much. Moreover, I was amazed by the Dark lightsabers used by the characters. This is what makes this movie more exciting and phenomenal.

The Last good Star Wars Movie

joseph1832:
I'll wait till the Blue Ray version is out.

It is out already

Most well deserved award

Baddestguyp:
Lol, the post I shared was not just for you...I simply recall it whenever your clique starts it's nonsense
Why is it paining you?

Go and cry to the others who called you out...not to me.


Lmao...
You created an entire collage just for me. You combined screenshots, edited and even selected the grid format to use just for me...

All that hard work for someone online...I obviously live rent free in your head...



I won't be surprised if you're the same person who went on Twitter to call me out on a random post. Oh...yes I recall now...

Till date, I'm yet to find this person. But with the way in living rent free in your head, I suspect it's you

You better confess now

You don dey popular too much

abduleez1:
Which time I wan join this show bayi!!
Omo, E choke. 😩😩

The first season and 2nd was pretty good. 3rd season was so ad, i dropped ever watching it

Davidcorny:
Personally i dont mind gays, more women for the rest of us, the thing is people are born different, I'd rest easy knowing my neighbor is gay than knowing he is a serial killer or a criminal.

Or rather a paedophile, the fact that Nigerians are shocked by gays in par with paedophilia is funny to me

Bintdawood:
Carry am go therapy

To remove the gayness from him??🤦🏿‍♂️

Saviola86:
Live and let others live

One thing about we blacks is that we try to enforce our lives on others.

Homosexuality is disgusting but one thing I detest about we Africans is how we project to cos harm to them because they have a different orientations like us.

We can liken this saddistic behavior to how the whites saw blacks as abnormal and sub-humans that shouldn’t live

I know some people will come and say they are two different scenarios but that’s how you see it and not how the victims see it

Some hediots will come to call me homo and gay But it’s your business and you are invited to my wedding

Reverse psychology at its saddest. Unfortunately, black folks are still in the 1800s

Davidcorny:
There are worse things he could be.

It's not bad just because this close minded society says it is

Some Nairalanders are so daft tbh, I see no problem with him being gay, he's an adult, he didn't choose this, although I don't think anyone is born gay, his childhood is a big prompter of his actions. He should live his life as he sees fit without you or any of his family members
You should be more worried about what the society as close minded as Nigeria is will affect him not just because he's gay

AHCB:
I haven't gone past 20 mins in this movie.

I started Watching it before I started watching Silent Night and Thanksgiving. Done with both, still not inspired to watch it though.

You should continue, the story hasn't started yet at allll💀💀💀

Ishilove:
What's with all the gore in movies these days?

I don't think there has been an increase of gory movies. Thanksgiving is an R-rated horror movie- so gory is a part of it

Blue Eye Samurai - 9.5/10

You guys aren't talking about this series enough. This is my best series of this year already and would have been my best of last year. The story's just too good and this animation shows full frontal 💀

WriterNig:
🎥 Inglourious Basterds (2009) = 6.8/10

You were watching the back of your laptop or phone if you think this movie is an actual 6.8

Baddestguyp:
Only Jujutsu Kaisen fans will understand

Abeg explain😂

GloriousGbola:
Gonna have to check out what is swinging

Glorious gbola was swinging literally😅😅

Finished the year watching Beetlejuice (1988)
This movie is a weird masterpiece of Tim Burton. The fast pace and just an hour 45 minutes makes it an enjoyable watch with no breaks in funny moments

JackBizzle:
Really bro?

Guy, times change. Substance over form.

The op opened this thread 10 years ago. However, by 2015 (2 years later), the thread was almost exclusively for movies because people realized that there was already a thread for series that was opened in 2011. The series thread existed two years before this thread.

That's a better reason. I actually told the WriterNig guy before he refused, abeg make we just leave am

Ishilove:
Actually, he did. The primary reason for creating this thread was for movies

Are you really going ignore this?

Fynestboi:
Let us know the movie you are currently watching now, be it a Yoruba movie, an English, Hausa, Igbo, Ghanian, Indian, Korean, Chinese, British, American or even Anime etc or Home video, TV Series (season movies), what episode?

Any kind of movie you are currently watching now just post the name and if possible a little summary.

...let's keep the ball rolling..!

Contentplug:
Around 3:00 pm on Friday, December 29th, 2023, former US President Barack Obama dropped his 2023 playlist titled: “Barack Obama's Favorite Music of 2023.”

The playlist which contains 28 songs, spanning across continents and genres shows the politician's high taste for music beyond borders and biases. This isn't a new thing as the President has a culture of appreciating arts all over the globe, from music to movies and books.


In what Africans do not particularly find surprising due to the recent success of Afrobeats, a couple of Afrobeats top hits made the playlist. However, there seem to be a little surprise in the former POTUS choice Afrobeat songs.

Every African with even a below average knowledge of African music will admit that Afrobeats is incomplete without the exploits of Nigerian stars.

With his Grammy-nominated hit song “Unavailable”; off the Timeless album, featuring South African star, Musa Keys, Davido makes the list.

Also on the list is Burna Boy with his didactic hit “Sitting on top of the World” which featured American rapper 21 Savage. Asake of YBNL made it to the list too with “Amapiano“; an Amapiano-themed song featuring his boss, Olamide.

The last Nigerian artist to grace the playlist is the Grammy-winning vocalist, Tems. She got into the playlist with her recent hit song “Me & U.”

Although many Nigerians accept this as a testament to the massive growth in the Nigerian music industry, others wonder why their favorite artists didn't make the list.

In the spirit of celebrating Afrobeats, it'd suffice to add that South African biggest female rising star, Tyla, made it to the list too with her Grammy-nominated track “Water.”

What do you think about this playlist?

Obama's list is trash tbh, he's just trying to be inclusive to a fault which just says something about his honesty to the music industry.
