iamord: When I saw Ties That Bind at GDC, I started living in this fantasy that she's Nollywood. Hope that makes sense to you. My point is this - Hollywood makes crappy films. So does Nollywood, only that Nollywood makes a lot more crappy films. Even though I try not talk more about the crappy movies and focus more on the good ones, it shouldn't make me live in denial. 1 Like |

speedyboi: You must have missed this. I posted immediately after I posted the first one. "Kunle Afolayan, Leila Djansi, Chinaeze and some others are actually very good oh. I could pay money to see their films in a cinema without actually seeing a trailer. Just so you know I'm not saying all Nollywood films aren't cool." |

safarigirl: have you watched Uche Jombo's Damaged: The trilogy? You didn't mention many of the Oscar-nominated and Oscar-winning films? Hollywood makes big budget average films. These films are made for the money they'll make at the box office. Examples are most of the movies you mentioned. Then there are films that are relatively big budget but made strictly for awards, recognitions and all that. Then there are the low-budget films that mostly go to Sundance and the other festivals. Hopefully, they'll be picked up by major distributors. A lot of our big films are so overhyped. Most of them are crap. Not like crap crap. But crap cuz of the expectation and hype that surrounds them. Hollywood has taught us to keep 'recycling stories'. I hope they have also taught us to make beautiful films like WOWS, Gravity, American Hustle, Her, Midnight in Paris, Blue Jasmine, Nebraska, Captain Philips, Inside Llewyn Davis et al. |

touchmeder: I have. It is a brilliant film but I doubt if that is what will appeal to a typical Nigerian market but who knows one may be pleasantly surprised. The best Hollywood films don't appeal to 'typical' Americans too. Hollywood makes films that will make money for them, hundreds of millions. CGI, action and way too many super heroes films. But the thing is, they also take time to make very brilliant films. 2 Likes |

Been following the film from pre-production and I've been impressed all the way. I love it when I see a trailer and it doesn't look Nollywood-ish. Reminds me of World War Z. I have a feeling it'll be a great film finally. Probably shake up Nollywood a little. Keep it up guys. 1 Like |

speedyboi: What's this about exactly? Durban film festival.... What's that? Nollywood films screen in much bigger festivals, who cares what South Africans think? They've always been anti-Nigeria, so to hell. I think you're right about the 'slum-themed' stuff though but it's not always true. Have you seen the Iranian film A Seperation? |

Romance / Re: Can You Come Clean To Your Partner On Infidelity Issue? by Jayboy124: 3:10pm On Jul 25, 2014 |
angela98: I am one person who careless to know whether my partner is cheating or not. People and upbringings are different. How we perceive life as individuals differs. I am not the type who goes through her partners phone, or monitors his movements. I haven't got time for all that shitty emotionally inconveniencing attitude. I respect my partner and expects same respect from him. Relationship should never be a prison or a cage. Humans ain't perfect. There should be room for forgiveness, adventure and effective communication. If I decide to cheat on my partner I can't tell him because it will hurt him. There are issues that are better left undisclosed. I love when a female speaks like this. |

prof800: ^^^^^^^ I wonder why Last King of Scotland isn't a Ugandan film but this one is. Ije that was partly shot abroad felt like a Nigerian. HOAYS somehow doesn't. I know officially, it is considered a Nigerian/British film but... I guess I have to see the film first. |

VillageBoi: Na same shitt I dey talk everytime. Our screens no reach 50 for the whole of Nigeria, I wonder why someone would shoot a movie with more than 10 million. I have seen a movie with just a friend. We were the only two people in a whole cinema. Most people now don dey run enter series but that won't really be a solution. I think our best is to make a lot more cheaper film through collaborations and all. And also make films that can make 'ti-ho' in Cannes, Sundance and the other festivals. Or alternatively, the government should build two cinemas at least in their states. It must not be all those beautiful malls. Just a simple nice building people can go and see good quality films. Or alternatively, have a film and fill it up with adverts like some of average (in content) but big films we have seen these few years. But if anyone thinks the cinemas in Lagos, Abuja, Calabar and Enugu will give you enough money... 1 Like |

TV/Movies / Re: 10 Dull Movies Of 2014 So Far… You Might Want To Avoid These by Jayboy124: 3:59pm On Jul 09, 2014 |
This sort of dancing is too fucking dull but that's probably my best kind of dance. Cohen brothers, Woody Allen, Richard Curtis, Clint Eastwood are all 'dull', but their dull films are the best I have seen. And they are my top 'best' directors. When someone says a film is dull, he's right. The film might have bored the shhit out outta him. The discoure should be if the film is good or bad.

VillageBoi: I actually experimented with Engli-Igbo in my last film, which is the normal kinda English we speak every day. I'm kinda bored with our too much fake British/American accent English in our movies. Hopefully, we'll have more local language 'big' film in Nigeria. By the way, we could go through some very long list of actors who played African who might not have spoken exactly the way the people they played spoke. |

mufex: Sholay, have u heard of David mann? Director of heat, Ali, and public Enemy? He makes violent movies I can relate to. Michael Mann, not David. And The Heat is one of my favourite heist films of all time. Not because of the actions really but because of the way he created and explored relationships in the film. |
