abduleez1: Meet the horror genre. The gift that keeps giving. The most profitable and bankable low-risk genre in Hollywood.
On a more serious note, it seems small to mid budget films are on the rise again after the ginormous banger that was 2019 with numerous "big films" bringing huge money at the box office and COVID essentially delivered a huge blow to smaller movies theatrically with more people only willing to go to cinemas unless it's a true event film or worth the stress.
NB: Warner Bros might have had a mixed year with big flops in the superhero genre but their overall lineup of films had enough impact to put the company in the green. The studio is already set to win 2024 for the first time in a long while.
Hmm. So the Beekeeper delivered at the box office. I must say, I'm grinning. Noice.
The media center that was launched today's evening, 02/05/2024 has garnered over 12,000 followers on their Twitter page.
The media center got launched to counter all the lies and propaganda of the ruling APC and also aggrieved members of the PDP with facts.
media center on Twitter? I actually thought it was a real, live media center with a proper address.
I'm wondering what happened to the one Borehole par community project, you rejects launched? Ah well, I guess this is another clout chasing, noisemaking nonsense by you disobedient louts. Shallom.
A visual feast I must say and an enlightening look at feudal Japan cultural leanings. Expertly carried out, beautiful dialogue, visual splendour. Pristine Cinematography and sound design. Great set and location, authentic costume design and greatly nailing the cultural norms of the time.
One thing I noticed most people missed was the true Japanese cultural view of Samurai vs Ninja aka "Shinobi".
Ninjas are assassins and dwellers of the underworlds/night and are not seen as heroic but as deceptive.
Samurai were the warrior class and holds true influential power in Japan. Samurai culture or "Bushido" was and is the true way and history of Japan. Modern times and movies of late have romanticised ninjas into some mystical beings and heroic enigmas.
Lady Mariko's primary assignment was to win Lady Ochiba to Toranaga's side. And especially to use their childhood relationship to court and win her favour. The secondary assignment was to expose Ishido for what he truly is and weaken support for him.
While I'm a bit dissatisfied about the highly anticipated big epic battle. The season finale did a very good job ending it in a poetic manner. All the deaths leading up to that point would have been pointless if we were shown a battle scene. You'd appreciate the deaths of those who sacrificed themselves for Toranaga's ambition all the more.
"The most important part I liked was the beautiful discussion between Toranaga and Yabushige." The best dialogue I've seen for a 2024 show and this right here is in pole position for awards night until HBO brings one of its new miniseries in play.
what business does a dead man have with the future, or something of sort. That made me laugh so hard.
Perhaps somebody should remind Indaboski who always say he's a Deadman, what business he has with dollar rate.
KEVIND: Charly Boy Area Fada 1 Charly Boy Area Fada 1
what a shame. Charly boy is now a shadow of himself and a big disgrace to everything he once stood for.
So being accused of a crime, according to Charly Boy, is the same thing as being found guilty of a crime, by a competent court of law. What a shame. He even went further to even embarrass himself by saying Reno Omojri's brother allegedly raped a girl. So, Reno's brother is now Reno?
What a useless and shameless old man who doesn't want to know or believe he's now old and senile.

Kingsmeal: You can imagine the nonsense Naptu2 is posting.
You're the one that posted the initial thread on front page, you are still the one quoting Obi's thread to justify a response of FRSC officials that weren't on ground to witness the incident first hand.
Naptu2 please when are you going to post about the current situation of the country? Abii that one no concern you?
this is how you know and identify full blown idiots.
She no no say her no sabi knack well before she marry am? Imagine the nonsense. Abi dem no knack wen dem dey date? Na question wey dis yeye pastor suppose ask am.
If I were her husband, the way and manner I'll deal with her, she will have a rethink about her mischievous ways . Imagine the level of fvckery and betrayal.
She dey fvck her oga boy, she no even no how to take the morning after pill, or even do abortion. She allow the boy release inside am and born pikin, she come dey Yan nonsense. Yeye dey smell.
Ishilove: There's one notable one about a town that everyone was dead no thanks to a flesh eating shape shifter. Scary as fvck
Hmm sounds similar to the one I love the most. About town where a shape shifter was killing its inhabitants left, right and centre, and the town's inhabitant can't do anything about it, because the shape shifter is bulletproof. Then came my guy, Frank Shaw, AKA Frank 'Hardshell' Shaw.
Men I tell you, the plot twist in that book ehn, gave me the creeps.
Ishilove: That's because Koontz always wanted more creative control than King over the adaptation of his books. Koontz said handing over total control to Hollywood writers was like handing over his baby to cannibals to devour. He just couldn't do it
My favorite is Strange Highways. I'll never forget that books with its characters.
I think before Hollywood started thinking about making movies about shape-shifters, Koontz was already writing about it. 👍
9jatriot: This guy here is a popular supporter of Peter Obi. this statement below was made on a thread where Peter Obi condemned the relevance of the coastal road.
This guy here while trying to make his point and support their oga, questioned what the economic benefit of the third mainland bride is?
It is important for people who think they are being fairminded to know the kind of people they are dealing with. Why they may pretend to be using logic, but the real motive behind their actions is pure hatred.
Give them news like APC steal 15 trillion they will be happy, but now that the news about a possible 15trillion being invested in a massive project like the coastal road, their main oga has been tweeting up and down, while the foot soldiers like this one are everywhere trying to gaslight people to hate the project.
Obviously, that guy is an idiot. It's best to ignore him. Opening a thread about his idiocy, is given him credence that his idiocy is relevant.
I didn't have to read to the end to know this guy finished Pit Obi. I mean, what a loud mouthed loser. He's now sounding as senseless and brainless like many of his supporters, Mr Go and Verify.
seguntijan: Dear secondary school teachers and school owners, please, help the students and the public by ensuring that students in your school write examinations by themselves and merit the grades they brandish on their SSCE results.
We are tired of seeing students with A1 in Mathematics but cannot resolve the smallest of fractions. A student with distinctions in Physics and chemistry but knows next to nothing about chemical reactions or energy conversion. Students with distinctions in Literature, Government, and CRS, yet blank on the differences between Drama and Prose Fiction, the forms of Government, and the significance of Religious stories.
I had to ask some year 1 students to look for a tutorial teacher to help them with JS 3 and SS1 mathematics recently. The whole 16 of them in my Engineering class with excellent SSCE results are visibly confused at the sight of any arithmetic work. Their last semester's performance betrayed the several A1s and B3s on the WAEC they carry about.
These students you help acquire grades they can't defend are usually frustrated in the ivory tower. Save them a voyage of pain and regrets in the future by ensuring they are well tutored and allowed to prepare and write their examinations unaided.
