It's still not clear what you or the client want's to achieve here. Do you want to have both site share the same domain name but accessed through different subdomains for example, the WordPress landing page will be ''example.com" but have a link within that points to "app.example.com" which is the Django site; and vice versa. Or you want the two apps to be able to share the same data with each other. |

Wonder woman 1984 (Rewatch) 3/10
On a second watch, the flaws in this film were so glaring I can't believe it fooled me the first time around! So many illogical occurrences and lack of narrative consistency. |

Wonder woman 1984 6.5/10
I must say, DC dropped the bar on this one, not what anyone would expect going into the movie, in an era where the standards for superhero movies have been taken so high, this cheesy action flick doesn't cut it.
Just because a movie is set in 1984 doesn't mean it has to feel like it was made for that era, wonder phucin woman is not a character to experiment with.
That being said, it's not as bad as people are making it out to be, I was underwhelmed myself, but there are some positives to take from the picture, for example, it's purely character driven, we get to see diana struggle with a huge internal conflict and the outcome of her decision will change her forever, even the main villain isn't cookie cutter either, he was a man you can sympathize with.
But the resolution of the final conflict felt so ridiculous I couldn't believe it was even happening, a catastrophe like that doesn't just get resolved by a weak ass speech by someone nobody knows, it just felt ham handed. |

Tenet 7/10
The best way to review this picture is by juxtaposing it with Inception, both are high concept movies, both require rapid attention to fully grasp or at least grasp to some extent and both rely heavily on exposition to carry the plot, but in inception, the story is actually about the characters, it was personal, the protagonist went on a journey and you root for him to come out accomplished whereas in tenet it's about the concept; every single character in the movie felt expendable including the protagonist, it was difficult to feel the stakes, every scene, dialogue, sequence and action felt like it was put in place to explain the concept.
The concept itself was awe-inspiring, in an era filled with remakes and reboots and superhero garbage, a picture like this is worthy of adulation, but it's characters that drive a story, not the concept.
As "THE CHARACTER" said, don't try to understand it, feel it.
Feel what? |

GodWrites: I just started following Fargo after all the hype, and OMG, it's a masterpiece.
The acting, the casting, the cinematography, everything was perfection.
How each character evolve and struggle to survive or perhaps, discover, it leads to more insane uncertainties.
It kept me on the edge, and I couldn't resist lighting up my weed. For the first time, I was lost in a world where my desire is for Lester Nygaard to be free of whatever he has done.
For Christ sake the pitiable wife was something else... What stops her from hustling and taking care of her needs? It turns out that this is what the society is today.
The female gender will always depend on the male, in spite of their feminism, they just can't control it.
Lester made a mistake, and understandable mistake that doesn't deserve jail. That cast is incredible. His acting... I felt pity for him. That's the thing about Fargo, I was blown away when I first watched the first two seasons. That's a recurring theme in Fargo, regular people drawn into crime and they keep doubling down until they meet their fate and get what's coming to them. |

johnyace: if you check throughout the movie, Robert was never emotional because he knew how everything was going to play out in the end, that's because he is from the future if you remember at the end of the movie he told David Washington that it's the end of their friendship for him but it's just the beginning for David.
Now I know that it doesn't imply that his the woman's son, I think Nolan purposely left that and so many other things to the imagination of the fans but I like it when things workout like that, especially in time travel stories If it doesn't imply it, how then is it a worthy theory? Yes, he knows everything that happens, but the thing revolves around his parents, there should have been some sort of familiarity and emotion there. |

johnyace: TENET My rating 7/10 I feel like Nolan had a great concept but used the wrong story to tell it, Nevertheless it was Worth 2 hours and 30 minutes of my life Spoiler Who else noticed that Robert was the woman's son Wrong. This was never even hinted at, he spent time with his mother who was shot and dying and it didn't show. |

Gmajor: Citation (2020) Citation is a 2020 film that was directed by Kunle Afolayan which tells the story of a young girl who reports a predatory lecturer to the university and the ensuing hearing that takes place. First the things I liked about the movie. 1. Cinematography: the movie was competently shot. It didn’t contain too many bad or distracting shots so I have no complaints there. 2. Extras: The movie had a lot of extra and I appreciate that they went the extra mile to infuse a layer of realism into the movie. 3. Fight scene[/b: The taekwondo fight scene was really good. I was really shocked by quality of the fight. It was well choreographed and the actors involved in the fight really knew what they were doing. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing more action movies from this director. 4. [b]Location: the movie takes place mainly in a university and they made good use of the school setting to bring the story to life. Part of it was also shot abroad so it would seem that went all out. 5. [b][/b]Crateful use of language: I love how this movie masterfully wove between English, French and Yoruba. It felt very organic and natural. 6. [b][/b]Acting: The man who plays the Prof. Lucien has stared in some Hollywood movies so I wouldn’t have expected less. Temi Otedola also tried in her first Nollywood role. Her acting was good most of the time, though her emoting was off in some places, however, I don’t see it negatively affecting anyone’s viewing experience. Ini Edo is a veteran actress, but is it that she has forgotten how to act or that this role wasn’t good for her? Because her acting in this movie was mostly bad. 7. [b][/b]The twins: they were super cute and quite likeable. Though the shift from a very serious tone to a comedic one when these two came along was quite jarring. [b][/b]Things I didn’t like. I could write a 3000 word easy on all the things I didn’t like about this movie. But for brevity sake, I will just try and pen just a few of them down. 1. [b][/b]Pacing: the gravest crime this movie commits is its atrocious pacing. This movie is 2 and half hours long but it feels like it’s about 7 hours long. Shot linger for an necessarily long amount time and some scenes go on forever. The movie is so long so it was quite infuriating that the screen time was further padded with bullshit that added nothing to the overall story? Watching this movie was very exhausting. At the end of the movie I was relived- not because Moreni had won her case but because the director has final put me out of my misery. This movie had no right to be 152 minutes long. One hour could have been trimmed from this movie without affecting the story in any way. The taekwondo scene I loved so much, the sex for marks incident at the beginning of the movie, Seun Kuti’s performance and many other incidents should have not made the final cut. 2. [/b]Time jump as a narrative device: jumping between the present and the events that led to the present day is nothing new in storytelling. One of my favourite movies – The Social Network employs this narrative device in a similar way by jumping from before Facebook was founded to a hearing after Facebook has been established. However, a lot of the time jumps in this movie are very confusing, and you’ll be left scratching you head as to the time period the scene you’re watching took place. Also, in the social network, even though you know that Mark is being sued by a bunch of people including his close friend, you’ll be eager to know how they got to this very situation (the hearing). On the other hand, from the very beginning of the Citation I already had a good guess of how things will go. 3. [b]Dialogue: a lot of the lines really came out weird. In some cases, the dialogues flows naturally, whereas, there are a lot of cases where the dialogue is really bad. Like, Real people don’t talk like this. 4. Not-very-smart lead: even though Moreni is presented as a very smart girl, there are some decisions that she made that left me scratching my head. This includes not putting more distance between her supervisor and herself, letting a random boy she just met lead her to God-knows-where in a country she has never been to before, brandishing her diarrhoea stained pants during the hearing etc. There is naive and then there is dumb 5. Editing: maybe I should have moved the time jump stuff here, anyway this movie has plenty instances of bad editing. Apart from the poorly convened time jump and the scenes and shot that linger for way too long. There is also a choice that was made in this movie that I can’t quite wrap my head around. When Moremi went to Senegal to find a man that would help her with her with her case, the scene repeatedly cuts from her boyfriend fighting in a dojo to her searching for the man. I have no idea why these two scene was juxtaposed with one another. There was no relationship- thematic, or otherwise between the two incidents so why are you directly cutting from one to the other? 6. Etc: a. An eyesore disguised as a wig: the wig that Prof. Lucian wore was not only extremely ugly but utterly unnecessary. Even if the director didn’t want him to be bald, at least they could have done a better job with the wig. It was so annoying to look at. b. Annoying beret girl on the panel: I thoroughly hated this character. Come to think of it, in a real life situation will a student representative be allowed on the panel? Who know? c. Audio: the audio during Seun kuti’s performance was bad. I don’t know if it was on propose or that the mic on set were bad and for some reason they didn’t fix it post, but anyway it wasn’t good.
In summary, this movie is very pretentious. The dialogue is pretentious and the artistic choices that were made were pretentious. The movie has zero suspense and it plays out exactly like you would expect. The movie is slow and tedious and I don’t see myself watching it more than once. If this movie was 90-110 minutes long, I would have given it a rating of 5/10 but because this lasted forever, I’ll be giving it a rating of 4/10.
This is what I didn't have the strength to write about the movie and you encapsulated my thoughts very well. I must point out, that karate scene was the most out of point part of the movie, you might have found it impressive, but it had no place in the story at all. Throughout the whole episode, my eyes were rolling so bad it's a miracle I didn't have seizures. |

The domain name and hosting alone will cost you somewhere from 5,000 and above depending on the provider you choose. If by cost you mean how much to consider when hiring a developer, I'd say that depends on the developer, developers in Nigeria cost anywhere from 10k upwards, but for a project like this I'd say 100k is fair for a quality developer, 50k for a good developer, 25k for an average developer and 5k for Indians on Fiverr  I've built something similar but with more services like VTU, data and tv subscriptions etc. If you are asking what it will take to build it yourself, I'd assume you're a newbie and suggest you look into PHP and Codeigniter and use third party API service like vtpass...com (remove the extra dots). |
