Superman is easily #3 most popular CBM character behind Spiderman and Batman.

A lot is riding on this film and if this film doesn't perform as expected by David Zaslav, I'm damn sure that TWO executives are losing their jobs. It'd be the nail on their coffin.

But I'm very confident this is making bank and with good critical reception. Least this could make is looking like $750mn. With potential $900mn plus or a billion in the cards if marketing gets it right.
Bro, the pressure! Every little detail about it, will be scrutinized....I have already seen on YT, this morning, some Video Editors and CC guys, are already dissecting the color grading and what not... like chill! 😩.

You have put it succinctly, if this movie fails, people might not only lose their jobs, but their careers as well... simply put.

EraserHead (1977)........2/10


The most boring shït I've ever watched in a while. Don't know what David Lynch was trying to achieve here cos I don't really understand the point of this film.
I wonder if the strange creature is more or less a representation of a baby since they couldn't in that era probably get a kid to film. But the other weird things suggest it's deliberate. The themes; was it talking about the challenges of motherhood raising a baby? What's the deal with the girl's weird parents and their strange goofy behaviour?
Anyhow, this is w@ck.

Not scary one bit, not disgusting, uninteresting story. There's literally nothing to keep me in this film. Just stuck with it despite battling multiple sleeping bouts because its boring as hëll and because I had a bet.

Only good thing about this film I liked is the cinematography and lighting.

I don't know if this is the final cut, but it looks so clean, production wise, doesn't have that clunky vibe that most CBM tends to have these days. Of course, how good is the other CGI and VFX heavy input to judge properly, but this has the ambience of a true blockbuster going by this sneak peak.

Plus, just clocked that this has a lot, riding on it. Superman is like in the top 10 most popular CB characters ever, if not Top 5 sef, so this movie has little wiggle room to fail 🤐

Lol..you say. I think she's actually good but haven't gotten a role that really pushes her limits or put her in a career defining role. I feel she got the talent to do so. Probably just enjoys the ride this way with the comfort zone.

I mean this is an Oscar nominated actress. The Academy with all their bias and shït at least can't nominate a shitty actress for their prestigious award. No? grin
lol She is a tier C actress at best and her filmography is littered with poor critically acclaimed flicks, i mean this chick has "Deep Water" and "Ghosted" in a her resume, both these films were rated as one of the worse films of the year, the respective year they were out.

I truly haven't seen a consistent set of good performance, that will make me salivate in anticipation for any of her upcoming flicks. If she really is good, then she should start pushing herself and leave her comfort zone o.

Plus, the oscar nom i think was just customary, because it was a biopic of one the greatest IT girl ever in showbiz, the movie itself was critically in the gutter 😩.

John Wick 5? A new Final Destination? A new Conjuring? Once upon a time in Hollywood Sequel??

There is this current knack by Hollywood exec, not letting franchises go, i know it's good for thier business side of things but none of this invokes genuine excitement, from me i must say. At this point i ain't even looking for original IP, just make an exciting movie, that isn't based on a character or story you have rinsed over and over again. John Wick's last good outing was Part 2, lets be real here, part 3 and 4, looked like one long azz gameplay ripped from the PS5, and this guy that is supposed to be dead, is coming back for a part 5 to most likely do the exact same thing?? Naaah man... I'm out ✌🏿....and grandpa Jackie Chan in 2025 is crazy work.

I looked at a list of films from 2014 recently, and i fell to my knees...we might never get this era of films back 😭😭

I just love the stüpid fake rage Film Twitter breeds pretending to love "Originality" but keeps making IPs like MOANA 2 and MUFASA make money.
So we should keep pretending like David Zaslav isn't hell bent on running WB to the ground??. Original IP movies were never movie magnets, but studios still take the risk to make them because of their special place in film culture and are even likely to win the studios awards and get critically acclaimed. They even require way less investment to make! 🤦🏿‍♂️

The Office (US) – Season 9 (2012)

Sitcom Royalty!

My knack for holding on to the finales of sitcoms I love is no secret, I just can't bear to see them end. I held off on finishing The Office for as long as I could, but since last week marked 20 years since Season 1 aired, I knew it was finally time to let it go.

For years, people recommended it to me, but I overlooked it because I found the first season hard to get through. Then again, this is common with many sitcoms as they try to establish their footing. I'm glad I stuck with it. The Office isn't just a workplace comedy as the title suggests, it's a masterclass in character-driven storytelling, dry wit, and the absurdity of everyday life.

At its heart was Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, an inept and often unbearable boss whose performance was both cringeworthy and endearing at the same time.

Then there were Jim and Pam, with arguably the best "will-they-won't-they" in sitcom history. Their chemistry was so good, I found myself wondering how they ended up marrying different people in real life.

But The Office isn’t just about these three characters. The show had an incredible supporting cast, each with their own quirks and charms, making you believe this dysfunctional yet lovable group existed beyond the screen.

The mockumentary format is what truly makes it work. The deadpan stares into the “camera” during awkward moments make you feel like you're right there in the office with them. And the beauty of the show lies in its ability to balance humor with heartfelt moments. It’s ridiculous, but also strangely relatable.

The show loses some steam in its later seasons, but even at its weakest, The Office remains a comfort watch, a show that perfectly captures the chaos, boredom, and occasional brilliance of everyday work life.

It's funny, heartwarming, frustrating (in a good way), and weirdly profound. Even though I just finished it last night, there's this strange emptiness....a void that makes me want to start it all over again from Season 1.

It has officially entered my list of top sitcoms, which currently goes, in descending order

Scrubs (2001–2009)
Two and a Half Men (2001–2012)
The Office (US) (2005–2013)
Seinfeld (1989–1998)
Everybody Hates Chris (2005–2009)
Parks and Recreation (2009–2015)
Friends (1994–2004)


Sitcoms like this are becoming a dying breed. Showrunners don’t seem to have time for these 21-minute, 22-episode gems anymore. Only Abbott Elementary is currently keeping this genre alive, and I really appreciate them for it.

Anyways… this is an easy recommend. ✌🏿

8/10

It’s decent. If you enjoy intense survival thrillers, this one will keep you on edge. But if you're looking for deep character development, it might not be for you.

For the real deal, check out Last Breath (2019), the documentary tells the true story in all its raw intensity. It’s on Apple TV and Amazon, and trust me, that one’s a solid 8/10, pure tension from start to finish!
Oh okay... thanks for the feedback🙌🏿

Rumour?
Weight loss?
Natural aging?
grin grin grin lol Bro at this point I know you believe everything you read online.

And yes, she did bad surgery on her face and ruined her God giving beautiful looks of which most folks in this thread noticed and discussed when watching the season 4.
Now, except the plastic surgeon who did said surgery personally called you and gave you deets, aren't you basing your "truth" from what you read online?

Lastly, looks matters in Hollywood as a woman, whether you like it or not, she will not be called for some roles that requires beauty and that's for certain.
How the public perceives a star gives movie or series owners the confidence to pop in money on a project relating the female star as the main acts of the show.
If the public sees you as that beautiful female sweetheart and crush, it gives project owners confidence to invest in you.

This is why i mentioned Scarlet Johansson and gal gaddot because both women are beautiful and their beauty and femininity is a major part of the reasons why they have so many audiences.
I fully understand the role that "beauty dynamics" play, not just in Hollywood, but showbiz in general but it isn't always a straightforward route to stardom, there also have to be visible talent. I cite your example, Gal Gadot is one of the most well looking woman the industry have ever seen, but she is a terrible actress, and as such isn't exactly at the pinnacle of her career, i personally wouldn't bother with any movie she's in, her recent flick is literally the lowest rated movie ever in IMDB, partly due to her sloppy acting. Another example is Alexandra Daddario, this one is even more beautiful than Gal, but she somehow is a worse actress than Gal, at the same time, and she is barely scraping by, as a teir c actress. No serious studio is pouring a large budget on these ones just because they are beautiful. Scarlett Johansson has a flourishing career cuz, she has talent as well as beauty. Some actress that doesn't meet the high beauty standards of the industry, but with sheer talent, has reached the heights of their career and are Tier A actress or high ranking Tier B actress, i mean Lupita Nyong'o has an Oscar, she has been in the MCU, a successful horror franchise and a Christopher Nolan movie!. My case in point, if Erin Moriarty doesn't get roles anymore, it isn't because she is now ugly or have a botched face.

This is not about hate or judging anybody, this is about saying the truth on how the industry works.
While i totally get your point, These things aren't always black and white. Chadwick Bossman was damn near bullied for his fray look just immediately after playing a beefed up black superhero, only for said industry and people to find out later that he was battling Stage 4 cancer, and died shortly afterwards, and said people came around with their fake tributes and all. You don't know how the shoe pinches someone, till yourself has walked in the same shoe ✌🏿

OhBritannia:
we might disagree on choice of series but one thing we can't disagree on is that, this girl "starlight" was all of our television crush and sweetheart in 2019, 2020, 2021 until she made the mistake of her life and did whatever nonsense she did to her face.

She was the star 🌟 of the show and she could easily had gotten her own spinoff series, she could have made generational fame for herself like Stephanie Johansson of black widow or gal gaddot of wonder woman but the nonsense she did on her face ended her career.

I doubt she will ever get a big role again.
This dirty rumor was started by a Fox reporter and it exposed her to extreme bullying, that she had leave social media at a time, and she denied it and claimed that the changes were due to weight loss and natural aging.

And even if she did get plastic surgery, what right have anyone to police her body? It will totally be her choice, and i for one, have stopped judging the choices people make, i may never understand them, but I can't hate the person for it, life is already tough enough, just let people live and let them do what makes them happy as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

If she never gets another "big role" again as you claim, then trust me it wouldn't be because she got ( or didn't get) plastic surgery...your fave big Hollywood celeb get plastic surgeries all the time, and it is not such of a big deal. Moreover, she played "Starlight" in one of the biggest and most successful CB adaptations of all time, how many actress can genuinely have to this clout?..

Let people live man and Stephanie Johansson kwa?! Who is even that? 😭😭

Last Breath 2025: 6.5/10
Intense and gripping! Last Breath follows a diver trapped 300 feet underwater with only minutes of oxygen left. The tension is high, the underwater visuals are stunning, and the rescue mission keeps you on edge. However, character development is piss poor.

what context is this your "best"?, cuz any phone under 180k, you shouldn't be expecting too much. You can get the Redmi 14C for under that price, Infinix, Tecno and Itel, also have offerings around that price point, that's if your expectations are on the ground. These phones will be good for normal day to day tasks, no heavy lifting, light gaming etc...

Funny how Mark still doesn't have any kill as everyone he "killed" is somehow alive.

From Lewy to Conquest...

I don't know why the show keeps using fake-out deaths...it diminishes Mark's character arc when every villain he has seemingly killed ends up being alive.

I agree that Season 3 is far better than season 2 tho...closer to Season 1 but of course not as good as season 1
I think they are still keeping to the trope that most "Superheroes don't kill their enemies", But with all the violence and carnage, it has been clear that this isn't a Family or PG 13 show, so they don't need to be keeping to an unwritten rule..It would be it will be interesting to see how they change that concept

Invincible S3 (2021)

After mouthing off that I wouldn't be touching this anytime soon, I folded. So, èdàkún, "Invincible hive," have me back 😩.


I totally see why those who watched this week by week found it a tad tiresome to digest, but I spent the better part of late Sunday night into the early hours of Monday binging through it, and honestly? I found it a lot better than S2, closer in quality to S1.

The same old trope of random villains showing up per episode, with a final big bad boss at the end beating Mark to a pulp (but he still finds a way through), is still here. However, I think it was handled better this time, it felt more coordinated, like they’re really building up to something bigger.

The allure of Omni-Man going from a good guy to the absolute worst, was the ultimate draw of this show, and I thought that spark died when they relegated his arc to the background. But they’re slowly bringing that magic back.

And Conquest... maaann, was an absolute menace WTF?! 😭😭 Why didn’t Cecil just burn that MF’s body?!

The Viltrumite War is the single biggest intergalactic battle that will happen, and when it does, I think the show ends. So, I see why they’re taking their time with it. With them teasing like three potential villains in the finale, I highly doubt the war happens in S4. Still, I’m sat. Already copped the comics, and if I find the time, I might start chewing through them before S4 drops.

The biggest moment for me this season? Mark finally realizing that the "superheroes don’t kill" BS isn't going to cut it. You actually have to off MFs for good to show who's boss, otherwise, they just keep coming back to cause trouble.

A very solid watch. 🙌🏿

8/10.

I literally wanted to cry at this scene cry cry

"ANDOR" is a straight up 10/10 btw and one of the best tv show out this year.
Arguably the best "Star Wars" Offshoot since Disney+ entered the equation....or at least my favourite...They had no business blessing us with a second season since the Character was pretty much done in "Rogue One", but they did it anyway, and i am thankful....Gents and ladies, we are so unbelievably back! 🔥.

Yeah, Owen Cooper was phenomenal and it's a surprise it's his first acting gig. Real talented and I hope to see more of him.


Yes, the victim's perspective could have been explored and given more details and balance as to their relationship and power dynamics. I most especially felt this with that dramatic black girl (who looked hilariously older than ALL the kids in the school and gives me naija vibes) whom assaulted Tommy on the school ground. I felt what's her deal could have been more elaborated and from there we know how Katie was like. But they never took that route.
I felt it was a way to laser focus on the perpetrator and less on the victim. Most likely it's a slight play in not giving any chance of doubt or justification for Jamie's deeds. Cos like it or not some people are always gonna side with Jamie using the angle Katie was also "a piece of shit" to the boys and in some way deserved it.

The showrunners obviously didn't want to elicit that support or stoke indecision on who's wrong or not.


But all these are a bit negligible with how well they handled the rest of the story as did little to impact the quality.

On the 13 yrs old involved in violent criminality....I also felt it was a bit overblown and could have been in the realm of 16-17yrs old.
Yeah, it was an amalgam of different violent knife attacks in the UK and the overlying theme which is fueled by online toxic masculinity — "Manosphere" and violent misogyny.

It's a brilliant way to elicit interest in a touchy subject and I think the 13yr old age was use to good effect to shock people into a reaction and awareness of the impending danger.
If it was a 17yr old I don't think people would give it this much thought or awareness. It's a wake up call, that even little kids ain't spared in the mentality warping and disinformation of the extremist red pill community.

It would be taken with levity with an older kid as 16/17yr olds involved in crime ain't as surprising no more as it would seem back in the good ol' days.

The ending is ambiguous but I feel it's brilliant all the same.... making it open to interpretation by each viewer. It forces you to really think about the show and its themes. It forces you to face reality with that ending, you work out the ramifications it has on everyone and the community involved yourself.
That way the message and its warnings stays with you for a long time.
Because obviously we know that boy isn't escaping time in prison especially with Psychologists involved trying to understand his psyche.
You yourself as a viewer would be forced to be enraged if you think for a second that Jamie has the possibility of escaping a tough sentence with a technical loophole like pleading insanity or behavioural disability.

So that way it forces you to try and be more vigilant with your kids and wards— even if it's for a week or two after watching the show....cos you wouldn't want such fate befall any loved one.

And that's probably why the showrunners and even the British government are campaigning for the show to be shown to all kids in British schools.
This is so winning BAFTAs left and right.

And this is what you actually call a brilliant social commentary. One that actually forces action or reaction instead of being on the pedestals of "art" imitates life.
Maan, You are spot on with the age bracket choice. A 16 - 17 Year old bracket, wouldn't have elicited a wider and sustained outrage and call to action, like it is now. It might seem a norm for 16 year old upwards to be this delinquent, but 13 year olds? Totally means our society is broken and totally cooked.

Children as young as 7 year old, are having access to the Internet and social media, and there is no greater influencer of a young mind still forming, since the turn of the 2010's like social media and the Internet, so much so, Social media Influencing are now seen as economically viable career paths!.

I see why, philogynists are praising it and why misogynists are annoyed, but it's show everyone should see.... brilliant, brilliant, work of art 👏🏿👏🏿

ADOLESCENCE......9.5/10

I loved the long continuous one-takes. Great directing and execution. Creative way to use such narrative style which is mainly popular with action films.

What can I say about the show??
It's a wake up call to parenting and the important role parents play in shaping their kids and the impact of social media and content kids consume online go on to shape their personality and behaviours. It's a brutal social commentary as this is a very touchy subject and one to drive division.

The TV show ADOLESCENCE just brought to the fore how these little programming could look harmless at first until you start seeing the manifestations of social engineering and social media. Jamie was consuming online red-pill Andrew Tate alpha-male content alongside his friends till little by little those teachings started shaping his personality at a very young age. The parents failed to take note until it's too late and now everybody suffers for it. Whether it's the victim or the perpetrator's relatives, no one was spared.

To realise this is actually based on real life events even makes the experience more surreal and haunting. Bruh, words can't say how far gone that boy of just 13 yrs old has deeply sunken into the pitfalls of toxic masculinity. What some might even tag the 'incél community'. A 13 year old boy having such strong convictions to even harm a fellow kid? Damn. Even using gaslighting tactics to absolve himself of his sin? At some point I began to doubt if this was a kid or an adult.
That's some Psychopáthic traits right there. Whether Jamie was an upcoming psycho or just a casualty of toxic red pill teachings is left to the psychologists to decide. 🤷🏽‍♂️


This is hands down arguably the best TV show to have come out this year so far and I can see the reason why literally ALL my feeds was pushing this film to me for a week. Top tier stuff right here. British cinema just keeps gifting me some gems lately and I'm all hear for it.

And, Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty continues to show up more in my screens after their lovely performances in A Thousand Blows. Luke Graham's top tier acting was a centrepiece of the show, while Doherty gave us a great supporting role to help to "understand the understanding of Jamie's Psyche". Just about 40 minutes of screen time in a 4-episode show was more than enough to deliver a scene-stealer.
And the Jamie kid actor— Owen Cooper......Damn! What a performance. Easily the most impressive kid I've seen in aeons. Perfected the role like a true method actor. Dude has a prime future ahead of him, if he keeps up like this.
ELITE acting chops right here, from the main cast to supporting to even the most minute cast member.

The writing of the show is just pristine and unique it draws you in from the very first minute. Top tier storytelling and an important piece as a social commentary drawing attention to a creeping danger in the shadows of society and the impending chaos to follow.


Just like Baby Reindeer that came out of the blue last year, this one has premium potential and will probably nab some nominations if not certainly win some categories. Best Limited Series is surely a go and The Penguin finally has great competition. Netflix just got its hands on a winner.
Absolutely PHENOMENAL.
I saw the show in bits, This probably placed my view of the show on 2 extreme polar ends.

Episode 1, 2 and 3 was arguably one the best piece of tv i have seen in a while....it was just top shelf stuff...The Episode 4? I wasn't exactly a fan of it, because the subject matter was too important, and at this particular time, to be left on an ambiguous ending, imo, anyway.

From a production standpoint, it was brilliant story telling, narratively and thematically speaking, The one continuous shot take was done brilliantly that you wouldn't notice, it was various scenes, stitched together to give that exact illusion...just brilliant, in the same class with The Bear's "Fishes", GOT, " Battle for the WaII", and Mr. Robot's eps3.4_runtime-err0r.r00.

The performances were stellar! Owen Cooper as Jamie was just a top tier casting, he had to compete with 500 boys for the role, he sent in one demo tape, and got the job instantly, this was his first role, making it all the more impressive and Stephen Graham is always kills his roles, and he seems he loves one continuous shot media, see "Boiling Point" (2021) if you haven't!.

My critic of the show was that, they could have had more episodes to eliminate all ambiguity and land a satisfying end. Jamie insisted on his innocence despite damning evidence, he should have had his day in court, him saying he was gonna plead guilty felt rushed and didn't provide any further clarity on a subject matter that has lead to a toxic atmosphere where certain men and women hate each to the point that there is a long wedge. Secondly, I felt the Victim's perspective could have been explored more, remember Jamie accused her of goading him as an Incel. If definitive proof/conclusion was given if Jamie really did Off her or not, it could had lead to a more balanced story imo.

Plus, and this might totally be a culture thing, I thought 13 year old, was a little bit too "over the top", for a subject matter that heavy and graphic in nature.

I don't think it was a true life event as i read somewhere the show runners took inspiration from the rising knife violence in the UK, but the story was 100% fictional.

Anyways, it's a bold and brilliant show, and an easy award magnet. 🧲 👏🏿

Don't think this is enough to deter Chef Tim.... 👀👀
They have the worst marketing in the business. Severance is one of the hit shows since the turn of the year, and the finale is today, yet, these people only dropped just one trailer all week, and it was of a goat!.

Secondly, There library is so small compared to other players in the game, mainly because of their insistance on in house production, unlike Netflix who has collaborations and deals to have shows and movies not necessarily produced by them to be available on their platform hence more variety for consumers but Appletv only has originals which is very few at the moment.

They more than make up these losses in other places tho, but they are so good with production, one of the finest in the game...they should work on other areas.

but.. but... Variety and Discussing Film were praising the hell out of this film grin grin grin grin looks like Disney paide them hella money to write good reviews
Discussing Film? Cuz i read their article and it was only Rachel Zegler's performance they were praising, which is a general consensus. They pretty much butchered the movie.
