Terminator Dark Fate- 6/10


Great action, interesting dialogue. However, we have seen it all before. Terminator comes back to kill somebody and the somebody has a protector.

The action is crazy though.

Terminator


I'LL BE BACK....with the reviews

thelastorca:
I know, especially as the UN has declared the guy a protected endangered species

Why would you allow a woman to be jerking you around like a collared dog?

Octopusssy:
I'm not insulting you; I am stating a well established and generally accepted fact. You ARE a troll and engaging you is a bad move because you thrive in provoking people for sport.

Fvck off my mentions.

Everyone was having fun with the banter and it ended without quarrel.

You came here like the biitch you are to look for trouble by calling me a troll.


Lovette bitchface.

Octopusssy:
Don't feed the troll.

Why insulting me indirectly?

Stop being a biitch and stop looking for trouble.

Face front, mbeke.

KoiceReloaded:
If you compare your uploads of him with mine, you will notice certain things.

Mine were his early pics preceding his breakthrough. Yours were his pics post breakthrough.

In mine, he didn't apply makeup, or hide his elf-ears, but in yours, he was drowning in pancakes, and his aesthetics ruining elf-ears were nowhere in sight. He had obviously taken some pointers on how to make himself more photogenic/presentable. He upgraded.

I suspected as much. It was as if we were looking at two different people. Money is good.

thelastorca:
dude, there is a general consensus that you take it right up the arse na
see as you have a whole collection of adam driver pictures to self-service off to
you can probably tell us about his ab definition too

You are boring me with the same homophobic drivel.

Go and get some sense.

KoiceReloaded:
They are not bad angles. I've seen him in all angles, and he always had a mishappen face on him. He looks weird, even more so than Benedict Cumberbatch.

I can agree with Cumberbatch. The guys face is weird.

But Adam Driver? A lot of my oyibo babes love the guy.

thelastorca:
Well erm , just as I don’t see what place women have in saying what women are attractive or sexy, I would also say we as guys have no place in saying or defining the attractiveness of our fellow men. Unless of course we erm swing in that direction

Just keep quiet.

If you are so insecure about your sexuality, keep it to yourself.

I can say that a man is attractive without being gay.

KoiceReloaded:
Adam Driver is a raw talent, there is no doubt, but my god, homeboy is effing unattractive

I think he's the ugliest A-lister in Hollywood right now.

Your pics are from bad angles or poorly edited. Or he has upgraded.


The joke is on you. White women love him.

kendrick93:
A movie can still be good and be overrated at the same time....
Is Joker worth all the hype? maybe not.
Was it a good movie? probably yes.

What hype? A lot of critics wanted to derail the movie

kendrick93:
Of course Phoenix performance was great.....the movie being boring is subjective..
Are you saying that anyone who doesn't agree with your taste in a movie is a troll or a flat earth level losers?

No. That was not the point that I was making.

DandeNumeruno:
am not smart and i don't pretend to be smart. make una allow son of man to troll in peace, abeg.

Fake humility

thelastorca:
I am talking the way you talk. You say people who watch Bollywood and nollywood are intellectually deficienct because you are not into that stuff

I say I do not watch movies and therefore anyone who does is intellectually vacuous.

Oh, I see.

However, you have gotten confused over my point.

People who watch Bollywood and Nollywood AS THEIR MAIN TYPE OF MOVIE tend to be less intelligent people. Not everyone who watches nollywood is dull or has poor taste in movies but they are in the minority.


This same logic works for people who constantly watch reality tv. Low brow entertainment affects your IQ. These are facts. there are studies on this.

thelastorca:
Lazy empty minded foolish yoots. Great minds discuss ideas, small minds discuss people and vacuous minds discuss movies. With all the books and knowledge in the world, some people waste their lives watching movies that will add no value whatsoever to their lives

What a wasted generation.

That’s how a misguided arrogant person who does not watch movies will refer to movie watchers.

Contradiction. A movie is an idea.

DandeNumeruno:
concepts that have rational answers in line with reality and nature. fantasy is not one of them.

I just dey laff you.

This right here is the problem of Nigeria. Ignorant people in power looking down at the educated ones and laughing.

Oga. Reality and rationality are not opposites. Numbers do not exist but they are an abstract concept used for counting and measuring.

It is very telling of your education that you do not realise that there is philosophy in fiction. That life imitates art and art imitates life.

You are lacking in knowledge. Educate yourself

DandeNumeruno:
there is no philosophy behind twilight because it has no rational justification. it's a fantasy. mumu.

You do realise that fantasy itself is a concept and that philosophy deals with a lot of abstract thinking?

DandeNumeruno:
simply put. philosophy is rational justification of answers to the most fundamental questions and the creation of concepts.

[s][/s]"No point in any quasi intellectual superiority complex."

No point in subjective ratings and recommendations.



The hypocrisy and lack of self awareness....

Kaycee7:
Well, this is some bullshit stereotyping. I know very intelligent people that watch reality TV. Nollywood is not a genre. It's an entire movie industry with a lot of diverse offerings. What of the Americans that watch Hollywood movies exclusively and still favour movies with simplistic plots?

Nollywood is a genre. 98 percent of Nigerian films are drama with romance, comedy or religion blended in as sub-genre. Or a varying mixture of any combination of them.

Drama is the overarching genre. The remaining two percent is horror movie.


Nigerian movies are mostly trash. And studies have shown that you are what you consume. People with a greater exposure to trash tv are affected negatively in terms of IQ.



It is not just a stereotype

DandeNumeruno:
see I was right, the ignoramus don't know the meaning and what's it's about. lololololol

simply put. philosophy is rational justification of answers to the most fundamental questions and the creation of concepts.

By your definition, philosophy applies to what I stated about the movies.

Move along.

DandeNumeruno:
pure balderdash. what you typed are moral lessons. most films have them.philosophy is very very very different

And what is the most popular topic in philosophy? Morality.

Checkmate, biitch.

DandeNumeruno:
all I can tell from what you typed is that you don't know the meaning of philosophy.

The meaning of philosophy is a philosophical problem of itself.

But you are too dumb and adversarial against me to understand my point.


Move along

DandeNumeruno:
stop going in circles. if it's objectivity not boring, it wouldn't have been panned by critics. a lot of people have said they dozed off when they watched it. they can't all be lying. bro just accept that you fvcked up and move on.

Nigerians also walked out of interstellar and IT.

Audiences also walked out of the Exorcist.


There will always be people who can handle certain movies. Their opinions should be taken with a grain of salt...

Viking07:
This comment is very underrated.

Or rather, it is very much overrated and appreciated by people who hate to engage in philosophical discussions.

If you dont like to discuss or argue, rate your movie and move on.

What is people's problem with other people's argument? Is it your intellectual superiority?

DandeNumeruno:
and how is that philosophy

The philosophy is the sweetness of forbidden love. That true romance survives the adversity of family and societal values.

DandeNumeruno:
this guy lololololol
you just contradicted yourself and you didn't even notice.

aren't you the one that said joker is objectively not boring lololol

you're more confused than a reta.rd

There are movies that are interesting but you might hate it overall.


Take Gemini Man by will smith. It was an action packed film that was interesting but it was an overall dead movie. Idiotic plot , clive owen and poor performance from.supporting cast.

DandeNumeruno:
tell me the philosophy behind the twilight trilogy.

It explored the weird world of American teenage girls ideology on love and romance.

DandeNumeruno:
this guy sef.....

i don't have time for long grammar, i'll cut straight to the point. look at the imdb, rotten tomatoes & metacritic reviews& ratings of joker. are the ratings all 100% are the reviews all positive and yet, according to you joker is objectively not boring your mental gymnastics is on crack lololololol.

Critic reviews. There were critics who didn't like the movie. These people saw the movie before everyone else.

There were feminists who hated the white male angst of the movie, for example.


Stop being ignorant

thelastorca:
what is the philosophy behind the fast and furious series, in the last three?

The philosophy is very simple.


The power of conviction and brotherhood.


In every fast and furious movie, there is more than one good guy in an impossible situation that has to be solved with extreme speed and incredible stunts.


The determination to save themselves and sometimes the world gets the good guys through.

If you notice, the crew gets bigger in every new instalment of the movies. The brotherhood or family based sentiments are very pronounced.

DandeNumeruno:
you are digging yourself into a deeper hole. just cut your losses and move on.

No, I'm creating a complex web of thoughts and you are an ignorant fly caught in the dexterous weaving.

thelastorca:
a movie, is first and foremost, a vehicle to make money for its producers



oya, tell me the meaning and philosophy in this movie . let us debate it

I loved that movie when I was younger. The attack of the killer tomatoes.


The movie is a satire on popular horror movies with non human killers. Jaws and birds, especially.

The tomato both signifying the ridiculousness

thelastorca:
you want to decide whether to watch a movie, you can

1) read the reviews
2) watch the preview
3) find your friends of like mind. i like star wars, but if i wanted to discuss the merits of a star wars movie, i would ask from a geek.

different people are looking for different things from movies. some are looking for a story, some are looking for action,

no point in any quasi intellectual superiority complex.

one could also say that watching movies is just a from of escapism for weak minded people who want to un tether from their reality

One could also say that every piece of art, especially films is a philosophy put forward by its creator that furthers the human quest in finding the meaning of life.

In summary, a movie is a philosophy. It has meaning. And the philosophically inclined will debate its meaning and purpose in relation to life or society.
