TV/Movies / Dstv To Air Controversial Leaving Neverland Documentary This Weekend On M-Net by Ravon: 1:47pm On Mar 28, 2019
The much-debated two-part documentary Leaving Neverland is a global hot topic at the moment, and DStv customers across Africa don’t have to wait long to see why this Channel 4 and HBO co-production has taken the world by storm. Just a few weeks after its controversial premiere in the US at the recent Sundance Film Festival, Leaving Neverland will be screened across two days on M-Net City, DStv channel 115 this weekend.

Part one will be aired on M-Net City on Saturday, 30 March at 8:40pm WAT, while part 2 will follow on Sunday, 31 March at 8:40pm WAT. To accommodate these screenings, M-Net City will reschedule The Blacklist S5 on Saturday and Stan Lee’s Lucky Man S3 on Sunday.

Fan of these shows can catch the next episodes as follows:

• The Blacklist S5 episodes 17 & 18 on Saturday 6 April

• Stan Lee’s Lucky Man S3 episodes 7 & 8 on Sunday 7 April

Directed and produced by five-time BAFTA-winner Dan Reed, the four-hour long Leaving Neverland unpacks the story of two individuals: James Safechuck and Wade Robson, now-adult men in their 30s, who befriended Jackson at the ages of ten and seven respectively. Through gut-wrenching interviews with Safechuck and Robson, as well as their mothers, wives and siblings, Leaving Neverland crafts a portrait of sustained abuse, and explores the complicated feelings that led both men to confront their experiences after both had a young son of their own. Playing out against the backdrop of our collective experience, the film documents the value of breaking silence, even when it implicates a powerful and revered figure.

“Bringing Leaving Neverland to African screens is testament to the fact that DStv brings the most compelling content to the continent as quickly as possible,” says MultiChoice Nigeria Chief Customer Officer , Martin Mabutho. “Please note, however, that documentary is not suitable for younger viewers as it contains strong language, discussions of self-harm and graphic descriptions of child sexual abuse.”

Among the line-up of channels which have already acquired the documentary are Network Ten australia, DR Denmark, VPRO Netherlands, SVT Sweden, ProSieben Germany, Channel One Russia, VRT Belgium, NRK Norway, TVNZ New Zealand, Discovery Italy, DBS Israel, Amedia Russia, YLE Finland, Fox Asia, Front Row Middle East, RUV Iceland, M6 France, HBO Latin America, HBO Portugal and Movistar + in Spain and HBO CEE. Additionally, there are a considerable number of deals which are currently in the final stages of negotiation.

Leaving Neverland airs on M-Net City channel 115 on DStv with part one on Saturday, 30 March at 8:40pm WAT, and part two on Sunday, 31 March at 8:40pm.Please note that the EPG may take a while to reflect the aforementioned updates. Viewers on the move can also watch the documentary on DStv Now.

Critical reception of the contentious documentary includes:

“Hard to watch, tougher to ignore, impossible to forget…a portrait of bravery.” — Rolling Stone

“Overwhelmingly powerful and convincing.” — Variety

“Among Leaving Neverland’s remarkable achievements is Reed’s empathetic skill at providing the proper context.” — Screen Daily

TV/Movies / Netflix Just Bought One Of The Biggest Movies In The World by BrandSpurNG: 7:45am On Feb 24, 2019
Netflix, the world’s leading internet entertainment service, announces Mandarin sci-fi film The Wandering Earth to land on Netflix.

Based on the novella of the same title by Liu Cixin, the first Asian novelist to win the Hugo Award for Science Fiction, The Wandering Earth is directed and written by Frant Gwo, featuring a stellar cast of Qu Chuxiao, Li Guangjie, Ng Man-tat and Zhao Jinmai with a special appearance by Wu Jing. The movie premiered in China, North America, australia and New Zealand regions during Lunar New Year, and earned an exceptional RMB 3.3 billion at the box office within 10 days.

The movie is a majestic feast for the eyes with massive production scale rarely seen in Mandarin films. Its post-production and special effects work spanned two years, undergoing more than 3,000 conceptual designs, and featuring over 10,000 specifically-built props while employing more than 2,000 special effects shots and a substantial amount of computer graphics shots.

“Netflix is committed to providing entertainment lovers with access to a wide variety of global content. With its high-quality production and story-telling, we believe that The Wandering Earth will be loved by Sci-Fi fans around the world,” said Jerry Zhang, Manager of Content Acquisition at Netflix.

Director Frant Gwo said, “Audiences from over 190 countries will soon meet The Wandering Earth on Netflix. I am glad that our movie can reach to people from different parts of the world. This is a movie created for the Chinese audience around the world, and it has been positively received since its premiere, we are very excited about it. To my surprise, this movie also resonates outside Mainland China. Netflix will translate it into 28 languages, enabling more viewers to enjoy it regardless of geographical and linguistic differences. I hope they will like it.”

The Wandering Earth tells the story of a close future in which the sun is about to expand into a red giant and devour the Earth, prompting mankind to make an audacious attempt to save the planet. The multi-generational heroes build ten-thousand stellar engines in an effort to propel Planet Earth out the solar system, in the hope of finding a new celestial home. During the 2,500 year-long journeys, a group of daring heroes emerge to defend human civilization from unexpected dangers and new enemies and to ensure the survival of humanity in this age of the wandering Earth.

I bet you haven't factored tax and rent into the 20-30$ per hour bro! An average Canadian earning $1800 monthly pays as much as $1200 for rent leaving less than $600 for bills, utilities, feeding, transportation etc.

If you own a car, you pay $200 monthly for Insurance depending on the type of insurance you go for. Life abroad isn't as easy as we believe.

You know my brother is in australia, and if you know some of the packages he enjoyed while in school. The school gave money to buy a brand new laptop, he can pay his school fees in 3 installments if there is a reason he couldn't pay it once.

Sometimes when he bad mouths white people i caution him, because what they have done for him and good life he's enjoying his country can't give him. Their police don't harass like our own here.

The whites did blacks wrong with slavery but they are paying back after realising they were wrong.
TV/Movies / Disney Responds After Dying Marvel Fan Asks To See ‘avengers: Endgame’ Early by mrdan(m): 4:47pm On Jan 12, 2019
Disney responds after dying Marvel fan asks to see ‘Avengers: Endgame’ before release


Make it happen....

Disney has reportedly reached out to a terminally ill fan, after they started a campaign to see Avengers: Endgame before the film is relesed.

The fan, known only as Alexander, went viral after starting a campaign on Reddit called “‘Dying Before April: My Endgame”. Many fans tagged the reddit accounts of directors Joe and Anthony Russo, while others used #Avengers4Alexander on social media.

Alexander, who is thought to be from australia, explained in his original post: “Liver cancer, mouth cancer, bone marrow failure.

“Will probably be dead before April. I’ve heard of people getting early screenings before. How do I get in on this action?

“I’m not a child or anyone with a particularly tragic story. Just a normal guy. I’m 33, lost my sister three years ago to the same rare genetic disease it turns out I have too. I’ll leave behind a devoted girlfriend and an adopted greyhound.”

The rare genetic disease that he inherited is fancomi anemia – which severely affects the production of bone marrow.



Disney responds after dying Marvel fan asks to see ‘Avengers: Endgame’ before release

Alexander added: “”Also, because australia is a small place, turns out I know a guy who knows a guy who is chums with Chris Hemsworth. I think they called him tonight on my behalf.”

Now, he says that Disney has responded, and they’re looking into the various options of how to help him.

“Disney have reached out and we are discussing options. I cried when I read their email. It’s everything I hoped for and I owe it to all of you,” he explained.

But he’s not quite finished yet – his next campaign will be to watch the last Game of Thrones season before it airs.

“I’m gonna seem so greedy,” he joked.

Avengers: Endgame is set for release in April.

Lol not yet grrrrrrrr lol oh really? Why not?

I hope you actualize your dream someday, as for the why not, i dont really fancy the US , as I feel Nigeria is a better country if we can shun tribalism and religious fanaticism , no country that does not have challenges, but outside infrastructure i feel the US has lost it as portrayed by their media, their is less level of freedom there and i feel they live a faked up caged life, Canada, australia are more liberal places, though i am yet to interact with quiet the same number of people who stay there as i have with those who stay in the US

BecaciaBarbie:

Oh no.... You didn't watch the complete series? Awwwwh I was so addicted to it, I watched it all and the ending part was very emotional.
I hope someday i will be able to get it from the archives, can you tell me how it ended

Am a field worker , based on locations am either working with, Chineese or some other nationalities and we are usually stationed in a camp

TV/Movies / 50 Fun Facts About The Simpsons by Vrengkat(m): 5:42pm On Oct 08, 2018
The Simpsons family are made up of some of TV’s most-
loved characters, but even if you’ve seen all the
episodes, there are still going to be some fun facts you
never knew about the Simpsons. Here we’ve rounded up
the best facts we could find about the most popular
cartoon in the world.
1. The Simpsons family is made up of five characters:
Homer , Marge , Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
2. Matt Groening created the show and the characters,
naming them after members of his own family.
3. The Simpsons first aired on December 17, 1989.
4. Aside from The Simpsons episodes, there was a movie
released in 2007 called “ The Simpsons Movie “.
5. Bart is one of the most well-known characters in The
Simpsons , but few people know his full name.
Bartholomew Jojo Simpson was more commonly known
as Bart, an anagram of the word ‘brat’.
6. Danny Elfman composed the famous Simpsons theme
tune in 1989, and it took him just two days to finalize.
7. Krusty the Clown is known even to those who aren’t
diehard fans of the TV show, but not everybody knows
the real reason he was created. He was initially meant
to be Homer’s secret identity.
8. God is the only character who has five fingers. The rest
of the characters are only seen with four.
9. The sat nav voice with the most downloads in the world
is Homer Simpson’s voice.
10. Barbara Bush, previous First Lady of the USA, once
remarked that it was the ‘dumbest thing’ she had ever
seen.
11. The producers replied to Ms Bush with a letter drafted
in the voice of character Marge Simpson. The humorous
tone makes fun of US politics.
12. Waylon Smithers, Mr Burns’ assistant, was originally
going to be black. Although this was unintentional, a
problem with the colors might that he appeared black.
The producers nearly kept this change, until there was a
concern it may cause viewer complaints.
13. The running length of the show credits will vary
depending on how long the episode is. A longer episode
will have shorter credits, while a shorter episode will
have longer for the credits.
14. “ Do the Bartman “, the single by Bart Simpson, was co-
written by Michael Jackson, although he received no
credit for it. This was his own request, and he was listed
as John Jay Smith instead.
15. The famous song was never released in the US,
although it rocketed to the top of the charts in both the
UK and australia.
16. In 2009, Marge Simpson was featured on the cover of
Playboy magazine.
17. Homer has an email address which is a real active
account. He can be contacted on
ChunkyLover53@aol.com, although senders will only
receive an automated reply.
18. The famous “d’oh” was written in the scripts as an
“annoyed grunt”.

TV/Movies / Another Look At Pay TV Cost by Blue3k2: 6:50am On Jul 29, 2018
Raheem Akingbolu writes on the debate that trails the current increase in the prices of various Pay TV services in Nigeria, making a comparison between what is obtainable in the market and global terrain

The last one and a half weeks have seen a return of subscriber anger directed at MultiChoice Nigeria, the Pay TV firm, which recently announced new prices for its services. MultiChoice communicated to its customers adjustment to prices on its DStv platform directly by text messages, which stated that they would take effect from August 1. The company increased prices in 2013, 2015 and 2017.

When the prices kick in, the DStv Premium package will attract N15, 800 as against the current rate of N14, 700. DStv Compact Plus customers, said the company, will pay N10, 650 instead of N9, 900, while Compact subscribers, who currently pay N6, 500, will start paying N6, 800. Prices on its DStv Family and Access packages have been raised to N4, 000 and N2, 000 respectively as opposed to N3, 800 and N1, 900 that are currently being paid.

On GOtv, its Direct-to-Home (DTH) platform, the company announced a price reduction, trimming the price paid for the GOtv MAX package from N3, 800 to N3, 200. This, however, did not calm frayed nerves, as DStv is the focal point. Disaffected, subscribers quickly exhumed the age-old allegation of monopoly against MultiChoice and hanging on to it as the reason it raises prices.

They urged the government to intervene a save them from perceived exploitation by the company.

For most, MultiChoice had no reason to review its prices upward, a belief arising from the assumption that Nigerians pay more for its services than citizens of other countries in which it operates. Some others, especially on the social media platforms, claimed that pay TV rates in Nigeria are the highest in the world.

Findings, however, have shown that MultiChoice increased prices in all the countries it operates. According to findings, the recently announced price regime will see DStv Premium subscribers in Ghana paying Cedis 365 (27, 360.75) and those on Compact plus Cedis 245 (N18, 365.44). Compact subscribers in the country are to start paying Cedis 149 (N11, 169.18), while those on the Family package (the lowest available in the country) will pay Cedis 85 (N6, 961.60).

In South Africa, whose subscribers are believed to be heavily pampered by MultiChoice, the new DStv Premium rate is R809 (N21, 728.47.

Compact Plus will cost R509 (N13, 670), with Compact costing R385 (N10, 340.49). Prices for the Family and Access packages have been fixed at R249 (N6, 687.75) and R99 (N2, 656.98) respectively.

Rates in other countries, especially in Europe and the Americas, also show that claims that Nigerians pay higher or are victims of exploitation are inaccurate.

In the United Kingdom, Sky TV, the country’s leading pay TV operator, charges £79.95 (N38, 167.33) for its premium package and £47.50 (N22, 572.97) for the one below it. Next to that is the package, which attracts £40 (N19, 008.82) monthly. Sky TV’s three other packages cost £30 (N14, 256.61), £25 (N11, 731.54) and £20 (N9, 504.41) respectively.

Sky TV’s rates in Mexico, where it offers four packages, are within the same range. Its premium package costs MXN 1039 (N19, 798.52). The package just below it attracts MXN 829 (N15, 796. 52), while the last two packages cost MXN 649 (N12, 366.93) and MXN 569 (N10, 842.50) respectively.

australia’s Foxtel also charges similar rates monthly.

The cost of its entry level package is Australian dollars or AUD 26 (N6, 961.60). The one above that costs AUD 46 (N12, 316. 67). Just above that is a package that costs AUD 55 (N14, 726. 45). The provider’s premium bouquet attracts AUD 75 Australian.

US operator, Direct TV, charges $35 (N12, 635) for its lowest package, Select. Its slightly higher package, Entertainment, costs $40 (N14, 440), while the one above that, Choice, goes for $45 (N16, 245). Its Xtra package attracts $55 (N19, 855). Direct TV’s biggest packages, cost $110 (N38, 710) and $60 (N21, 660) respectively.

Investigations show that globally, pay TV price increases draw impassioned subscriber debates, with the prevalent view being that operators are remorselessly exploitative. In most parts of the world, operators increase prices yearly, further inflaming subscriber anger.

According to its most recent report, the US Federal Communications Commission’s Media Bureau said Pay TV providers are adding the extra fees to cover their rising costs so they can continue to promote relatively attractive prices.

The industry’s ecosystem, findings show, is one that leaves operators at the mercy of content producers/TV networks, with the latter regularly charging more for programming content on which the former depends for viability. For years, Pay TV operators worldwide have battled, unsuccessfully, with hikes in programming costs, which erode their margins. Content owners have also continued to state that the rise in the fees operators pay to broadcast their content is largely a product of the jump in their own costs of producing such content.

In particular, the cost of sporting content, a hot Pay TV property, has continued to climb and very steeply, too. Broadcasters have continued to fork out more money to retain rights to content of sports leagues such as the English Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A and NBA), which fall into the category of must-have programming.

With the lion’s share of out-of-the-world salaries paid to sports stars coming from television revenue, for example, owners of sporting contents, a dealing with rising costs of their own and transferring such to pay TV companies, which have no option than to transfer a slice of such to their subscribers.

According to some analysts’ estimates, these costs have climbed between eight and 10 per cent in each of the past four years.

In certain cases, analysts also said, the rise in pay TV subscription rates are also informed, to a lesser extent, though by better consumer experience, through frequent additions of new features and functions to services.

According to consumerreports.org, most US Pay TV operators hiked their prices in 2018, with some introducing hidden fees.

“The cable companies we contacted said the price hikes are mainly driven by the rising costs they face for carrying traditional broadcast networks, such as CBS and Fox, and regional sports channels,” wrote the site.
