Guy! I dey fast na. sh!t

omenka:
Very big shame on us honestly.

This is the ridicule successive governments have brought us under. But Jonathan's government wore our pathetic situation its Royal Crown. Imaging what truckload of mess he's living behind, and to make matters worse, he carries on like he's tone deaf and blind. And that is the man Nigerians call a Hero and deserves a Nobel Prize!!

Indeed we deserve all the jeers and scorn from these guys. I can hardly blame them.

Indeed we deserve a lot more,
I don't even blame the politicians as far as I'm concerned all around the world as long as you're a politician, you are a liar and a thief

Rather I blame we the masses afterall na we dey follow them blindly
Do we even need the government?
- do we need them to provide jobs when NLC can combine minds and resources to create extra jobs and union credit for all workers or even bully corporations into creating more slots in their companies?
-do we need them to provide constant electricity when we can channel all the tithe offerings for church into R & D for cleaner and more constant electricity?
-do we need them to provide security for us when we can incorporate our local vigilantes and finance them to cater for our safety?
-even the fuel crisis do we need government? When we can join NUPENG or whoever can knock heads together to build refineries or do whatever needs to be done
Nigeria has a population of over 170million people if na ten naira we all donate that is N1.7bn already tell me we can't achieve what ever we want , if we unite who be d 1% rich dude that can stop us?
If government wants to sleep no problem we will do their work for them make our turnover and give them the change to fight over
Nigeria is not america
Nigeria is a peculiar nation
So peculiar solutions for peculiar problems that's what will take this nation forward

-the fact that his friends pachana and his lawyer betrayed him
-the fact that he was so close to getting away

Csami: Honestly your grading skill dey poor. No offence

So you are trying to say they are not good movies

Csami: Abeg thor1 or 2?

Guy the both of them na 10/10

Csami: Hey! I love what you did with captain fantastic. Please do THOR2 for me, I so fuccccking hate that movie.

Ehn! Thor wetin? Baba I no wan hear that one o the movie was a smasher

decepticos: was about to say u r not Nigerian till I saw the Fela refrence (still have my doubts though), amazing stuff, please try to not let any american know u wrote this cause men they'll eat u up especially is the are ceiling fanning Marvel.

@ bolded exactly the same thing i was thinkin, the jokes had too much american pop culture references like when he was joking about their kiss at the mall i had to consult a dictionary before i could laugh unlike spiderman where he had many many nigerian-ish jokes

lanreajirobaju: Guy you suppose to dey write jokes for our comedians for ere o no dey waste ur talent

Even if
The film
Is nice
He always
Has a way
Of making it
Look stu_pid
What makes it even

It's so rare to see nigerians
Leaving nollywood and insulting
Hollywood flicks

severee: amuel l jackson
Dude robert downey jr blew up all his suits after fighting an enemy neither the secret service, pentagon or even his house party protocol could stop and i'm supposed to be the bad guy here? Trust me we will be fine now if you excuse me, i have to kill you and hope you don't drink any "resurrection" serum so as not to turn this gritty movie into a tom and jerry flick
(Shoots redford)

bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard

severee: Exactly! The cartoon o, the comic o the movies o captain america is not just an interesting character

Well you have to admit captain america first avenger was very good

SMH this isnt even a political thread and you guyz are already tribalizing
Na only God fit save naija

33117: Ah you are talking what of the time @ the casino when the cocktail waitress was shaking his martini and he just yelled"perfect" when he hadn't even tasted

Still wondering how that assassin in shanghai got to his floor without pushing the floor button on the elevator.sam mendes? Are u sure ur 5 year-old kid wasn't responsible for directing this movie

Hey guys, I am giving my self a treat,I am watching skyfall again and I'm laffing my head-off that movie is so fuccked can you imagine when bond wanted to test the stoopid gun he never got to use, he had his gloves on how did the gun work? Wasn't it a palm recognition device

forreelinc: @leverage nooooo them. Go carry am go agbelekeje. Since Q no sabbi e work
Speaking of which why was bond reinstated in the end of the movie isn't he supposed to be arrested or something?

How you go dey ask that kind question don't you know he is james "motherfucking" bond if mallory told him hey james you fucckked up james bond might just start crying again so mallory just felt sorry for him and decided instead to send him to buy rice

lanreajirobaju: When I think about quantum of solace I think art
- boat chase
-dog-fight
-tosca concert
-tuxedo claded assassins/bodyguards
-bond confessing his love for a bond girl openly to total strangers and after that dropping the last memory he had of her in the snow afterwards like one of those italian gangsters
-daniel craig almost as good as denzel
Haba! Respect na I don't even see that as a bond movie I see it as a movie about james bond that's well it stands out who gives a hoot about formula?
You can't compare that with skyfall na skyfall is like a mixture of abduction and tinker,taylor,soldier,spy.




Well with that said, my own question why is it that in the whole movie M isn't given the best of protection?
-when silva first attacked MI6 , she works home into her apartment with not a single bodyguard she was so vulnerable a drunk like bond cud break into her house
-her computer wasn't protected against malware becos hw was silva still able to send her another message? What if he blew up her house at that point?
-then when they found out that silva was heading over to the court room to kill her, they didn't even work on reinforcement or extra security Q just sat on his hands while bond chased after silva's SUV like a child
-then the ultimate bond,Q and mallory all voted on letting a failure like bond ALONE to isolate M and use her as bait in order to "protect her"
Why didn't anyone give a shiiit about M did they want her dead for some reason?

Simple M was not sexy! Think about it the script didn't give a shiiit about everyone who was not sexy
1.M: everyone wanted her dead cause she was short wrinkled had her neck folding in a really disgusting way and she kept nagging bond in istanbul who wouldn't want her dead
2. Severine: prostitute, who made up like heath ledgers joker and wore really ugly clothes yep they just had to killer even the scotch glass on her head was way more sexy than she was at least that's what bond said
3.Silva: largest head I've ever seen on a human being, his hair was bleached blonde and his bulging horse teeth and sharp eye sockets yuk! Kill him kill him now
4.Mallory: old assss man with horrible hair line and sharp forehead. With his horribly cut-out suit that kept showing us his bulging stomach got shot in the shoulder I hope the infection from the wound kills him though
5.Q: skinny motherf@#ker with gigantic ears and disgustingly pale skin and what about that silly haircut, a hippie working for the government? Nice try mr.mendes anyway he was an iidiiot all thru I hope silva left him an incendiary grenade in his laptop or something
6. Moneypenny: bulging eye balls, anorexic, stoopid hair style and really wierd accent anyway I guess the job of the BLACK secretary in a james bond movie kinda suits ur ugly asssss its kinda offensive but u knw naomi harris she will jump at any acting opportunity
just so we wouldn't forget her

Whatever happened to these bond movies? The characters were always so cute
Anyway my question

Did anyone notice that the NATO list was never recovered? Which means that NATO was still in trouble. Why would they dump such an important plot points

@mr.magoo. So just becos mr ebert hated QOS and you hate QOS automatically means it is a bad movie SMH
Did you even read mr. Ebert's review on QOS allow me to state his reasons for why the movie deserves a miss
A) the bond girls name was camille montes instead of pussygalore (I swear to God) however did he see the second bond girl her name was strawberry fields. So QOS did settle his name fetish
B) the bad guy's base was a warehouse in haiti(I am not making this up) well if he actually paid attention to the movie he would have noticed that the hotel pas de dunas in the bolivian desert also served as the evil guys lair he so wanted to see
C) A car chase that had nothing to do with the plot. To begin with in QOS, MI6 was out to seal their leaks and the car chase was a sign that yes bond's secret abduction was blown open and was the first sign that there really was a leak
D)bond didn't introduce himself as bond james bond.
E)bond didn't sleep with camille , dude it is a bond movie not a poorrn flick

Then you on the other hand decided to go on the internet and find the following complaints
A) shaky cam: ore mi welcome to the 21st century of movie making I can name 10 best raved about movies that had shaky cam effect: melancholia,safe house, bourne supremacy,green zone,dark knight,inception,24,world warZ,flight,united 93, captain phillips,the impossible even skyfall had some shaky cam in it see? Shaky cam and flash cut editing are part and parcel of modern cinema I didn't see anyone complain about those movies becos of shaky cam did you?
B) bad theme song: really? I hate to use the accolade advantage that QOS's soundtrack has over skyfall's but have you compared their lyrics, have you compared the relationship of both soundtracks to their respective plots, skyfall was dull, tasteless and they called adele of all ppl to do a shirley bassey ew! This is 2012 don't they know that?
Alicia keys joined her vodoo down south style with jack whites rough rock style and sang to a beat that kicked asss
C) storyline hard to follow: sorry bro the storyline is really deep and around us almost like an art movie its not like skyfall that if you sleep through out the first 2 hours you will still understand it but with QOS's dialogue carrying stuff like marxist, minimum wage,deforestation dude you are bound be fuuuccked up if you even blink.so that's your fault
D)movie title: don't make me laff so how exactly does skyfall fit into the movie plot or how is it creative it sounded like they were going for something like dark knight and had to settle for a transformers character name "skyfall"
E) No plot:hmmmn I. bond is out to investigate MI6's leak he also struggles with not making it personal as the organization he is investigating. Was responsible for vesper's suicide
II. M is in a cross road between pulling out from quantum investigation owing to pressure from her superiors or to continue with uncovering one of the most devastating breaches in spy history
III. Camile montes bond girl out for revenge on a bolivian exiled general as an attempt to solace. Considering her ever present traumas from her families murder and mutilation, she gave up everything her career, her heart just to put a bullet in the head of the general it was her shattered life. Which scared bond into retracting to duty and not revenge
IV. The villain quantum big shot targets unstable countries to control and rob them off their valuables he is bent on his biggest project yet which to monopolize the fresh water resources of bolivia and control south americas economy
E) did the movie have a villain?: my point exactly the villains in QOS were so human they didn't just flash out there that hey we are criminals but they were marched up in the villain/hero societal classification(politics stuff don't expect you to get it)
So please take your pick from the list of plots
So yeah! Quantum of solace is still better than shiiitfall

Quantum of solace is way better than skyfall why I say so?
1 TITLE: unlike skyfall, quantum of solace is a title you don't hear often it and it feels like something they really worked hard and thoughtfully on becos the title works solely with bond's character at the moment, the script and even rarely surprising the bond girl it describes bond's journey to discover redemption,
2. It is well narrated: also unlike skyfall QOS is not predictable and it has no contrivances that get you scratching your head and asking why that happened and why this didn't happen instead it practically takes you by the hand round the plot
3. The plot: which brings me to the plot, skyfall's plot is based on an old bond movie plot which is an outrage considering the fact that over 200million was used to fund this project, it is also highly irrelevant as right now cyber-terrorism is nothing but a myth it is also riddled with massive plotholes that are just too much to go unnoticed
QOS however is a fresh plot that practically ushered bond into the new era, it very much relevant and surprisingly has no plotholes
4.Casting: skyfalls casting was so boring and straight forward it was either your character is serious or your character was playful
Mallory: serious
M: serious
Bond: God knows what role he was playing
Moneypenny: playful
Silva: playful
Nothing spicy @all but QOS had it all
The depressed, the professionals, the serious, the playful, the cynics,the arrogant, the naïve and so on this not only made the movie versatile and realistic, it also made so many things happen in the movie that QOS might even be a bridge between the old bond and the new bonds
5. QOS even did casino royale. Certain favors
I. It covered casino royales plothole
II. It compensated for slowpace of casino royale
III. And it makes perfect reference to casino royale which absolutely taunts you to want to watch the casino royale movie
6.QOS obviously had more action scenes than skyfall and even casino royale plus the action scenes were also better which was not shying away from the truth, 007 adventures are action movies not james bond's diary
7. Characters: speaking of which QOS did a better expose on the characters
M: in skyfall was made out as some. Elected person which is not so for an intelligence director they are appointed not elected and she was made out as someone that her sex and age undermined her and reduced her working capabilities
But in quantum of solace M was more like a working class person with superiors , colleagues, work deadlines she was versatile with her office computers (unlike skyfall where she knowingly clicks on virus and acts like a f@#king grandma), her emotions and old-age made her more of an authoritative figure and she didn't need to shoot guns or blow light bulbs to prove she was a bull-dog, the scene where she threatened mr white with torture was classy as it was. Fearsome plus she wasn't in charge of NATO affairs SMH what was she doing with a NATO NOC list ? WTF
Bond: this is the break down of. The 00s, in fiction MI6. Has a 00 section, they are high ranking assassins, like navy SEALS they go after high profile targets like presidents,military generals,intelligence directors etc in QOS, his target was a utility services entrepreneur that makes puppets out of a whole country
He is not an sis retrieval officer as they made him in skyfall
Cyber terrorists are not 00's target it is rather. The job of a counter terrorist agent and bond was very intelligent,charismatic and sensitive in quantum of solace but in skyfall he was weak and had no direction he was just letting MI6 control him and he was SCOTTISH! WHAT? I know they wanted to go for a bruce wayne thing here but bond is scottish? Where is his accent? Where is his scottish taste in fashion?, why is he working with MI6 rather than scottish yard? Is james bond even a scottish name? Isn't that an english name?
7.Lessons: it is so rare that movies these days even send any messages which made me like QOS better than any bond movie. quantum of solace teaches that revenge isn't justice, teaches that you should stand for what you believe in, teaches that redemption only exists when you don't retreat. But what message does skyfall pass? "The old ways are the best"? To be misogynists and clowns right? Crap!
8.The villains: for the fact that quantum of solace brought back SPECTRE and they weren't as ridiculous as the last villains this time the members were used to make a statement to real life figures it was outstanding
They were really interesting villains too
1. Mr.white: the likely mordern day blofeld, middle man for quantum, good with weapons and quips and his opera joke was just wicked
II. Dominic greene: this guy overturned the whole of haiti, destroyed the whole of bolivia, caused a cold war between MI6 and the CIA , was a few steps close from destroying americas economy, he wasn't even shook when quantum refused to fund his water tierra project he simply went on with his plan and when it was time to give them up he didn't even fear giving up quantum
III general medrano: almost like greene's hench man, responsible for the bond girl's scars(literally),gave a good assss whooping at the climax and of course making bond regret his action of going head to head with his canoe
IV guy haines: shadowy member of the quantum organization and a personal advisor to the prime minister has a finger in many pies but leave no marks that description is just enough badassery
What made the villains really cool was that they were human as bond's frnd said with time you begin to stop understanding the villains from the heroes cos they get mixed up, so when you think about that weight dedicated to merely a subplot of the villains now compare them to the poorly sketched caricature villain like silva I don't even need to speak
9. Camera work: I enjoyed the movies cinematography better than skyfalls even tho they claim skyfall had "breath taking views and all, I still preferred that of quantum, the coloring was good and the location and pacing were excellent like the way every location bond went to always accustomed us to their culture like italy and the palo alto horse race and the austria tosca performance skyfall's location was so shitty they had to be at night and for a moment you can even mistake china for london
10 bond girls: hands down the bond girls in QOS were much much better than the bond girls in skyfall, they were even supposed to wear no make up and they were still hot their personalities were fresh and their acting was natural
Unlike berenice marlohe. And her terrible acting almost like she was just there for the sake of being there and the thing with the make-up WTF is she a clown or something?
so yeah quantum of solace is better than skyfall
Forgive my typos man I'm just losing it here

actually the answer to that question is that bond drank alomo bitters

must I have to do everything myself. No one is talking about how bond survived everyone is just suggesting that bond died anyway here's my theory:
So bond is floating in a river when some fisher men stumble upon him they just happened to be medical doctors and they found bonds health insurance which compatible with their hospital so they felt keeping him alive could make them very rich and meanwhile an antibiotics company had just dumped their waste into the river making bonds wounds to not be infected . Then they enhanced his broken joints with metal and kept his uranium bullet so that bond could track it if he wished to. How about that

@leverage its not bad , any other takers

kobosmart: Ans: well that's becos the real story in skyfall if there was any, lasted for only 30minuted so the franchise killers john logan and sam mendes decided not to make the shortest bond movie or perhaps write a real script but to mish-mash a couple of cliches from other movies so as to make it the longest bond movie

Now my question how exactly did bond survive the istanbul shooting and drowning u knw no one has really had an answer for that question

Oh yea and lemme add that in the istanbul shooting
-Bond was shot with a poisonous bullet in the shoulder
-Bond was shot in the stomach with a long range snipers rifle and u know how long those bullets can be
-bond fell off a speeding train head first 100 ft into a lake which from that distance rather feels like a rock rather than water
-bond then fell thru a water fall probably to sharp rocks at the bottom
- and finally bond's body sank into a lake(wonder why it was that deep in the first place)

So think well before explaining one of the world's. Greatest wonders
God bless u as u try

[quote author=E.apps]Ans: no rather the bridge was made of magnets which attracted all the bullets allowed non of them touch the assassin


Question: why the Bleep was no one interested in following silva's plot, the casino security, the disgusting lizard even the assassin at istanbul THEY ALL TRIED TO KILL BOND" didn't they know they weren't supposed to.[/quote]Ans: well that's becos the real story in skyfall if there was any, lasted for only 30minuted so the franchise killers john logan and sam mendes decided not to make the shortest bond movie or perhaps write a real script but to mish-mash a couple of cliches from other movies so as to make it the longest bond movie

Now my question how exactly did bond survive the istanbul shooting and drowning u knw no one has really had an answer for that question

[quote author=mr.magoo]Mtchew! Quantum of solace that everybody hated it practically killed the franchise till skyfall awakened it[/quote]Quantum of solace that is among the top ten largest grossing bond movies, quantum of solace got a B rating from critics and fans, quantum of solace that turned daniel craig into her majestys sweet heart, quantum of solace that set the path for new bond films to follow it killed the franchise? If any bond movie killed the bond franchise it is skyfall cos now the franchise has no direction and has made a full scale mockery of the movies timeline and character development the old characters are back but in a modern era which makes you question movies like golden eye where judi dench introduced herself as the first female M the franchise has thrown away the direction of gritty and realistic and has taken to humiliation and childish pander .its so fuucked up right now that I don't even care to know if there is ever going to be a follow-up. Quantum of solace a wreck? hell I think I will like to know where u get these ur gist from

[quote author=mr.magoo]@kobosmart LWKMD wait wait so quantum of solace is better than skyfall? Skyfall made more money, skyfall got higher ratings skyfall is academy acclaimed. And quantum of solace is supposed to top that? It is so ironic that your name is kobosmart anyway will like to hear your views I would like a laff this evening[/quote]Skyfall isn't academy acclaimed it was a pure failure at the oscars look it up, good reviews were based on nothing no story,no plot, no action setpiece no dialogue it was just praised for nothing perhaps its hollywood politics nothing new and about high earnings c'mon its a james bond movie no matter how lame it is always the highest grossing of their time yes that includes octopussy so yea I think quantum of solace tops that.
