Kaycee7: Omo! Una dey discuss The White Lotus for series thread. I wan make spermbutt ban all of una cos y'all made me want to check out the show but where I wan slot am. I even have to suspend Pennyworth and Doom Patrol at some point so I can follow Carnival Row and The Mandalorian S3. Content choke bros. Na just life and good health we dey pray for.
Even Koice back in the day had the occasional classic he'd catch up on from time to time
Shows wey do me this thing last year na Pantheon and Severance. I be wan swear for Una that time. E dey pain me ehn.
Amen to good health and life. And time to watch our heart desires in Bliss.
Kaycee7: This right here. Like, I want to rewatch Hobbs and Shaw, Ford vs Ferrari, X2: X-men United, Princess Mononoke and Veer-Zaara but 52 weeks no even dey enough for my current to-watch list. And these are just for movies, we never talk series.
Most people just watch the popular trending stuff. Not a lot of people actually know their preferred genres, styles, themes, etc. And also won't really bother to watch a movie if it wasn't being talked about in one of their circles. Las las any true movie enjoyed can hardly claim to be starved of movies to watch.
Where is the lie?
I dey tell you. No true movie/series lover will hardly get starved of content to watch. Especially in this era of abundance. Competition in Streaming business really over-amped content production in the last 5 years. That's why it's way easier to see cancellations these days cos viewers are swamped with options.
Even if better new content no dey, the massive list of classic all time greats wey I never watch, is more than enough to satiate my thirst.
TV shows was the absolute performer last year. That industry grew like 10 fold in my eyes cos there were tons of good new shows I couldn't join or keep up with. Not to talk of the old or returning franchises.
Only person for this life wey I reason say fit get small excuse na person like Koice Reloaded. That guy na Wikipedia.
Baddestguyp: some movies/ series have very high rewatch value...
Either because it has so much you will notice on rewatches or because it's just so entertaining
I have shows I've seen multiple times...movies like Bourne I've seen more than 10 times Even some anime I've seen almost 30 times
On the other hand there are some shows/ movies that are good but have 0 rewatch value. Maybe cos it's not entertaining enough or because it's only thrill is in the mystery
Kaycee7: Same here, though it's mostly due to limited time and over-saturation of available content.
Yes. This is my main excuse.
I watched The Batman in cinema last year. I still downloaded the first few days it was available on digital. But I watched like first ten minutes and stopped. I just felt my time will be used properly if I cleared my humongous backlog a bit and make little space for upcoming content. I just calculated the 3hrs I'd use to watch it and see the potential of content I might clear. I push am to another day. Up till now I never still go back for rewatch as no time dey.
I still get puzzled a bit when ppl say they don't have content to watch. Cos me I hardly have time to watch what's on my watchlist. Even if I wasn't this busy, I don't think I can clear my current TV Watchlist in two years. Talkless of adding the movies. And the list keeps growing in geometric progression.
A truly encapsulating Masterpiece semi-autobiography from Spielberg. Brilliant performance from Michelle Williams and Paul Dano. The supporting cast also didn't disappoint. It brilliantly tells the not so subtle ways a film could change your perception of someone; depending on the way a story is told. Definitely deserves the running for Best Movie of the year. But Sammy's mom is one difficult woman to handle.
Went in thinking I'd just watch an hour and get some sleep cos I was so tired. Only to end up being engrossed and continue the whole ride through the night till 1am.
Just sad this movie continued the epic flop tradition of @dult dramas this year.
oyaskii: I am actually tired of Bollywood at this point, too focused on making "award magnet" movies and they have lost thay sway they once held.
A link to this article will be much appreciated chief.
I pray make I no chop ban sha. Bollywood don tire me and I have washed my hand off that industry for the past 2 yrs. Na this RRR wey I see for Best Foreign Film and Lagaan wey them dey hype wan make me sample am back.
Korea and Japan have actively taken that spot for my foreign language itch.
SMUAG: Lol... Me na laugh I just dey laugh since last night. Person wey them bring come to come unite the fans don come kuku break the table legs... I seriously laugh when people call a person like James Gunn a genius, or maybe the word "genius" has another separate meaning that the general public doesn't know.
Gargantuan of backlashing is waiting for his new take. How many times will we keep seeing Superman origin stories: from Chris. Reeves to SmallVille to Henry Cavill to Superman and Lois and the many cartoons' origins...wow!!! Instead of him to come out with a better strategy on how to end the current continuity in peace first before hard reboot, but no, the idea of him heading the DC World is over popping his head. I don talk am for here before, we go see where him go take DC to...some people eyes go clear last last...
Calm down with your rant Baba. Me saying he is a genius — off course you know it's an exaggeration. Unless you take all things quite literally. He's talented that's the point.
Anyways, ITS NOT AN ORIGIN STORY. A younger actor is preferred.
pu7pl3: Omo me I no like that kind play especially in this volatile period. Person need to know where him stand. They said this week and till now nothing.
Lol, bro week just start na.... I ain't expecting nothing big until Thursday/Friday.
Still, heard plans will formulate into the holiday season and fully wrap up before the new year. Safran had a meeting with Zaslav earlier today or yesterday (depending on the timezone).
Kudos to Morocco... Dem really try. Even France was fazed for a while. If not for the early goal, France could have been in trouble. I think it's that Thuram guy that changed the game for France. As he got in Morocco couldn't continue attack on that left flank.
