How did Black Panther get nominated for Best Picture Oscar over Avengers: Infinity War?
Because people with class will choose pure art over popular demand every time.

Why did i watch this Bumblebee? I think i need to stop watching this silly science fictions for now, and concentrate on dramas, cos they just seem stupid to me.

If you enjoy watching Bumblebee, you might as well like AXL.
Abeg , stick to dramas. As you can see, you are the only one so far who didnt enjoy bumblebee.

UyiIredia:
I agree with it so far it's not enforced and acts as what I think is more of f*** you to Western liberals trying to force their values on African countries when they hold political power. Initially I was AGAINST it and felt the societal opposition to homosexuality was adequate enough.

Now I don't think being gay is a choice. It's a natural and created thing, I literally have zero need to resolve God creating gays with it being a sin like Christians & Muslims do. I don't think you should be violent against gays or LGBT just because. I won't say I don't discriminate against LGBT's. I do. But I can see myself disagreeing with certain discriminations like banning LGBT's from workplace. Naturally, context matters.

I think it's immoral or more precisely, I judge it like one does disliked fetishes (like cuckolds, people who gain sexual pleasure from being peeed on or seeing their spouses bleeped etc) or quirks (like coprophagia - eating one's shit).

I think all such stuff including homosexuality are wrong and harmless but if you do it in your privacy then I couldn't care less. That to me is like allowing space for someone to be slightly overweight versus being obese. And so, when one starts normalising it as healthy and good and fighting to bring it into positive acknowledgement by the wider society I think it is very problematic for society as compared to when 'kept in the dark'. Society can thrive despite gay acceptance, never because of it. No less than the Nazis and ancient Rome thrived despite anti-Semitism and Jewish massacre or open immigration. The Nazis robbed themselves of some if the best minds on the planet since Jews are very distinguished when it comes to scientific and technological contributions, Einstein was a German Jew before fleeing Nazi Germany. Ancient Rome was ended by hordes of barbarians and betrayed by the very Germanic peoples it freely allowed to migrate into and join its armies.

What is the danger? LGBT rights harm and disrupt the natural and helpful course of gender, sexuality and family from how it is designed. If that was all I would even be less worried since one may find a way to compensate. But that's not all. One has to look at things from a wider perspective so I link LGBT rights to other socio-political issues and views. This is where the slippery slope argument comes into play and it is a very powerful argument.

In Nigeria and all of SSA for all our silliness when it comes to religion or national development we cannot afford to kill what is called common sense. Govt is bad at providing security, no one needs to dash you brain that walls work. In the US and the West they call border walls to stop criminals and unfavourable illegal immigration overwhelming their govt racist and inefficient. Much of Africa being over-religious and traditional stifle free thought and critical inquiry. The educated or wise amongst us value these ideas. These are foundations of the West that took them into dominance but SJW (social justice warriors) threaten that and they have a generation taking it for granted. Animal rights cannot cross your mind when hunger dey Mama you but they are so food-filled that they can bother about putting rats, dogs, cats, chicken and cows that people eat etc (even plants in Sweden) on the same legal standing as man. If transgenders were a tiny fringe stated to deny biological reality and thoroughly checked to before sex change, then one can tolerate it but social liberals carelessly rubber-stamp it and sex-change little kids and teens without regard to mental illness, psychological health and even the health of kids. They want to redefine or destroy important concepts of gender fundamental to working civilization even as they perform surgeries that make FGM look like saint Peter.

The point the previous paragraph makes is that social liberals OF TODAY have a very poor grasp moral boundaries and their importance. It is so bad they have to be educated on why physical boundaries like walls and clothes are important. Remember, feminists were agitating that women should be allowed to be bare-chested like men without having indecency. So bad that they let kids who don't know anything decide their gender or choices parents should guide them in. This means that they progressively get worse in the perversions they tolerate or encourage from misplaced empathy. And in my experience, many liberals I speak with show the same lack of judgement in LGBT rights to other issues concerning family.

If at least liberals showed some sense of moral strictness as liberals in older times did I could compromise on LGBT rights even though I STRONGLY disagree for what I think is a more important aim of keeping society cohesive. At least, their common sense in other areas could compensate to keep society working well. But reading Quora and news made me see its SO BAD no compromise should be had. Before Quora I was totally against anti-sodomy laws including Nigeria's own. After Quora I changed my mind. Liberals who still have common sense should wake the radical liberals up. Then we can have a rational debate. All I do on Quora (and I am going to stop for a bit) is trying to give them basic common sense.
Uyi Iredia, you sound like a man trying to balance 2 opposing ideas but ends up speaking from both sides of his mouth.

You prefer a "little" discrimination against gays (verbal abuse/shunning) to "heavy" discrimination (violence and 14 year imprisonment). What a hypocritical notion.

You are not as intelligent as you think you sound with all that verbose nonsense rationalizing how you feel for gays but still discriminate against them.

Oga, stand firm in one belief- IF YOU BELIEVE THAT GAYS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO WHAT THEY LIKE IN PRIVATE, THEN THERE SHOULD NOT BE A THREAT OF 14 YEAR IMPRISONMENT OR SOCIETAL EMBARRASSMENT.

So I took four days to complete Split which I supposedly found uninteresting and I commended the guys dropping reviews here yesterday night abi huh

TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by JeromeBlack: 2:30am On Jan 21, 2019
Like I earlier said, glass is an artistic movie. Many critics wanted an avengers type of superhero movie but this is radically different.

If you just want a mindless action movie, this is not for you. But if you are interested in an artistic deconstruction of the superhero mythology, then this is your movie. I like intelligent movies.

Critics are also unfairly focusing on Shamalayan rather than the movie itself. They forget that there were two great movies from him before this. Every trilogy must have one movie that was slightly less better than the others. See the dark Knight trilogy- batman begins was not as good as the later two sequels.

The acting in glass is unparalleled. McAvoy and Samuel L Jackson deserve awards for their performance in the movie. The few action scenes in the movie were great.

Now, the ending is a bit polarising. I know many people wouldn't be happy with it but it is understandable if one listens to the dialogue. But trust our people, they want pow pow action movie- Spiderman uppercuts Thanos, Thor join axes Thanos etc

Glass is a good movie......










JeromeBlack:
Glass 7.5/10


This is a great film. People are just judging it based on its ending and the fact that is a Shamalayan movie.

I love the deconstruction of the hero vs villain battle in comic book lore.

This movie is stylistic and not for the Aje Pako that does not appreciate art *cough* Alexistaiwo.......

Please, watch the first 2 movies in the trilogy or you would not understand some things......

Jokes apart, what's the hype about this Glass?



That's all my offline movie "clan" been talking about all week.
It is the 3rd part of a trilogy. The first two movies were great.

Unbreakable and split.

The first one was a superhero movie that deconstructed the hero Vs villain archetype very well.

The second one was a movie that showed a split personality villain. The ultimate bad guy.....

You sabi good something..

If I was the chairman of Warner Bros, I would stop the straight to DVD releases and start a shared cinematic universe of big budget 3D CGI animated movies for DC.

It'll be a success and it will make millions of dollars for the studio.

The animations are always on point...
I even prefer Assault on Arkham to the live action big budget 2016 Suicide Squad movie.
Easier said than done.

While you are right in everything you said, the Chairman of Warner Bros might be scared of the risk. If a big budget movie fails, that is a lot of money gone down the drain.

Again, you are right. It is just a matter of the willingness of the Chairman or his board to take the risk......


edit

Take a look at "into the spiderverse"- it made 300 million dollars on a 90 million dollar budget. While profitable, it is not spectacular. Note that frozen made over a billion dollars.
