Make we dey observe.... I still believe it will do well regardless. Just needs above $300mn and we good.

I somewhat expected it tho, cos my mind tells me the actual movie would subvert expectations from the trailer. I don't see it as all rainbow and sunshine as the trailers purports. This is cos it's Greta Gerwig and a social commentary.
Around a 66% concensus rating is good for me. 😏

Na the Greta Gerwig factor dey make me give the movie eye sef. Her and her partner has not put a foot wrong thus far in film making but her creative choice of doing this movie surprises me ngl. I don't even know the demographic it is intended for, i have not seen the official MPAA ratings but I'm semi sure it's not a kid's movie. Be like na mask i go wear the day i wan go see am oo😅😅

Or do we wait for more reviews?

Was there anything woke about the flick?

The Bear 2022 S2


Cook... pressure..fail...sad... depressed.... redemption.. rebuild...Happy..Cook again!


There is a trope with shows with exceptionally good first season debut not being able to replicate the magic in their sophomore season, S1 of this was one of my best shows last year, and i had reservations they could serve up this same sumptuous magic this season, mixing two synonyms to carry the weight of my feelings, i was totally and utterly blown away, how good this was!
This is the best show i have seen this year, heck in a long long while.

The writing,character development and delivery was of the finest quality like "GOT 1 - 5" good!.

S1 was Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri's show, but S2 was so much more than them, each minor character having a satisfying redemption arc infused in 10 intense and pressure cooking episodes that were grounded in food ingredients and cuisines from not just Chicago where the show is set but to as far as Copenhagen whilst keeping the tone of drama and comedy on a steady par. Episode 6 is the best of the bunch and had the longest runtime, it was intense and the camera was panning so much, i had to pause and take breaks while i was seeing it. It's the highest rated Episode of the show yet at 9.8 on IMDB and it's so so deserving. There is also a "British cameo" from Academy winner Olivia Colman and Will Poulter, that was so profound, you'd think they have been part and parcel of the show from Day 1.

Simply put, this was a great body work of art, a genuine masterpiece. Together with "Beef" are the best shows i have seen this year so far, and The 100% perfect score on RT is not flattering at all.

I'm not even sure this is the right place for this, but this headline is sending me

Baddestguyp about to have a fit.

Will all these difference be noticeable if watching from a phone screen? I've never watched an IMAX movie before but I thought there was a special environment to produce the experience and not just the size of the movie. Maybe a better screen display or a fuller sound or vibrating chairs that makes you feel the reverbs coming from the movie. Because I remember a post in this group claiming Tom cruise was pissed Christopher Nolan booked all IMAX cinemas for the viewing of his movie. Surely those cinemas have some special equipments other than just a larger movie size.


This is interesting. Thanks.

Some mobile phone screens are so advanced now that they have HDR 10 bit capabilities like Samsung's Amoled panel, so you might feel a slight difference when viewing IMAX content on it, but using a Laptop with HDR or a 4K Smart Tv with HDR and Dolby vision is when you begin to see a distinct difference.

IMAX theater are a different ball game all together, they are far larger Aspect ratios than your standard cinema with very large screens, the goal is to fill the entire field of view of the viewers, so it will feel like, you are right there in the set of the Movie!. The audio is also calibrated to make it feel like you are having a convo with the actors on screen, it is that immersive. The huge constrain is that the movie has to be shot on IMAX specialized Cameras which are fairly expensive, and so very few film makers go for it, Christopher Nolan is a champion for it, as he always want his movie to be immersive as possible to generate an appropriate feedback and narrative he is trying to tell with his, movie, and so his distribution company book IMAX theaters for weeks, when he has a new movie out, the problem now is that Tom Cruise is another IMAX auteur and it just so happens that MI7 is out around the same time as "Oppenheimer", hence the "fight", IMAX cinemas charges more, and so if Christopher Nolan has them for at least 5 weeks after his movie premiere, it will seriously affect MI7 BO numbers.

What's the difference between an IMAXRip From a regular Webrip 4gb file.?

Better aspect ratio and higher resolution, meaning stunning more true to life pictures coupled with HDR capability. For movies like this with alot of fine details especially in VFX and CGI, it makes a whole lot of difference. I think Christopher Nolan uses IMAX too for his projects, I saw "Interstellar" on IMAX and it was stunning and it changed my perspective. But for your regular movies, with not much going on in terms of details, CGI etc then IMAX rip will be no good as there wouldn't be any noticeable difference with your regular Webrip.

IMAX RIP finally! About to have a nice meal this weekend 😋

abduleez1:
This kind of lineup and you say Cinema ain't back in 2023??

The one's out already either tank critically or commercially, or both yeah?. It has been gradual, but i feel movies don't generally get people excited anymore and the movie pop culture is eroding fast, there are a number of factors that have contributed to this flaw. A movie has a high chance of tanking than actually been good now, it's that bad. I have hinged my litmus test on "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer", since they are the nearest big titles we looking forward to, if those tank, then we have a problem.

Russell Crowe Mannn 😂😂

Kaycee7:
Happy Birthday Abduleez1.

Many more years and blessings to you, chief. 🍾 🍻

Happy Birthday to a fellow cinephile. Blessings Big man 🎈💐

NaijaMemes:
If you came out and just said that some marvel superpower movies still flop, there wouldn't have been any issue.

You came for vawulence bro. But I had a bigger gun.

You too like fight, no need for Vawulence every day

NaijaMemes:
I'm not even going to bother to respond to the crap you posted.

Just hold your "L" in peace abeg. You messed up simple logic. Just own it.

You are still my guy sha.

You still didn't answer my question because you thought i wanted to ridicule you. So let me buttress, why i brought up Ant man is that despite the superpower power, it still flopped, so my point in case is that superpower or not, Marvel has been on a decline recently and thier projects are general flopping.

Kaycee7:
And that's before we even mention how terribly performing movies like Knights of the Zodiac and Transformers are taking more than a month to be released digitally.

Exactly, there is isn't a clear or defined logic to it.

NaijaMemes:
It seems that you do not understand simple logic.

1. ALL OF MARVEL'S NON-SUPERPOWER SHOWS ARE FLOPS.

2. ALL OF MARVEL'S SUPERPOWER SHOWS ARE SUCCESSFUL.


Only someone that is not sensible will say that number 1 and 2 are the same thing or that number 1 logically follows into number 2.


Later, Abduleez1, Beorn, Baddestguyp and Co will start saying that I am looking for fight.

Kindly don't put words in my mouth.

It is you that is trying to twist yourself into a corner. You said all Marvel projects S or M are flops with No Superpower and the ones with superpowers are successful right?

The question is not that hard. The Antman and Wasp: Quantum xx involved superpowers right? So in your logic, did it flop or not?

Baddestguyp:
obviously, downloads will probably be out in 3 weeks...
That's how it usually is for failed movies...

The Super Mario Bros grossed over a billion and the Digital was out in about a month or so. So your failure theory is flawed. The VOD business is almost measuring up to par with the cinematic business so studios have seen the potential of making more money off there big titles if they release early on VOD, basically, most movies out this year failed or not have followed this trend. Only Cinema auteur like Tom Cruise still believes a movie must have at least 4 months of theatrical run before VOD or Blu Ray release.

abduleez1:
She's still A-list.
I just feel it boils down to flexibility and doing whatever projects she feels like now.
No pressure to perform cos she's been there at the top. So you free to do anything cos she got nothing to prove anymore.

She actually took a break after various mixed reviews and critics scrutiny on the kind of roles she takes plus she needed to start a family, i think she's has only been in 2 project since 2021 before now "Don't Look Up (2021) and Causeway (2022), and both did way critically. She's still a Tier A actress with an academy award to flex.

NaijaMemes:
Even though 'Secret Invasions" is a series, Marvel flops hard when it there are no superpowers or the superpowers are minimal.

For example
-Black Widow
-The falcon and the winter soldier

Going by this logic "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" didn't flop?

Blud... What the hell is this?! 🤦🏿‍♂️ The two giant of CBM and CBS seems not to care about the genre anymore... it's so sad.

Make your alternate dey on standby oh

lol yes o. Problem be say, i don't even know which part of my epistle the spambot flagged down, so if i repost from alternate gbam!, another ban.😂😂

NaijaMemes:


Don't let your hate get the better of you. It is like citadel because it is spy action genre.

The problem is that spy action movies are a dime a dozen- the market is saturated with them. And they can flop hard sometimes.

Also, I never mentioned Priyanka. Worse, Priyanka is not even the MC of the show, she co starred with Richard Madden- of which Madden's character had more screen time and backstory.

Please, try to make sensible contributions. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

pardon? Blud, I didn't even reply to you so what are you waffling about?? The person i replied to, totally gets what i was talking about so i don't know the fight you are on about.

Smh, like i said, always with a match to start a fire when nothing is cooking. It's so bad now,that you are conjuring scenarios from thin air just to start a fight? It's gutter behaviour and it's gets tiring. please just try to act normal for one day.

abduleez1:
Gal Gadot is back on the menu boys...

BlackManta:
I thought making Kraven a lover of animals was the height of SONY's foolery

They just doubled down and gave him "Apex Predator " powers from a lion bite and some blood

I saw the lion bite giving blud powers, i knew this was Morbuis reincarnated. SONY ain't fooling anyone 😩😩

I went on my customary ban last night, only to meet a whooping 5 pages of content ..Where did you guys get the energy from today? Keep it up

abduleez1:
Yep, I've been seeing that.
Many analysts have been predicting it to flop hard for weeks now sef.

I'm hearing part of the main issue for this one is Disney made people very comfortable waiting for its latest animations on the streaming platform.
It's "an original Pixar movie" doesn't sell a movie to today's audience no more apparently. No one ain't queuing for that no more.

Consequently, we go see live action remakes of animated films from Disney taya. Even very young animation films might get live actioned. No surprise if you see Frozen love action.

lol so basically, it will take alot to move an appreciable crowd to see your movie these days 😂😂. Too many factors contributing to a bad cinema run these days that are directly out of the control of the studio.Studios might just focus on Streaming and leave Cinema as side hustle cuz omooox.
