THe manga is not dry. Just the anime. I'm not sure we'll enjoy the anime when it resumes.

Maybe these women were beaten so much by their fathers that they think it's ok for their husbands to do the same. Afterall, a woman is "biblically" expected to "submit" to her husband as if he's her father. Nonsense. angry

One thing about life is that if you put yourself on the floor, people will definitely step on you. Father, mother, brother, sister, friend, enemy, boss, employee, colleagues: If you leave yourself vulnerable, they'll take advantage of it.

On a lighter note, I believe the best brains we have may be selling pure water on the streets or turning to violence due to a systematic deprivation that face them through no fault of theirs.
Selling pure water is ok. What does Dangote sell? Mere sugar! It's all about dedication and scale.

Turning violent is not ok. Criminals will always find something to blame their actions on.

Selling pure water is a legitimate business. Turning violent is criminal. Don't talk as if they are basically the same.
TV/Movies › Re: Wanted: Great Scripts And Stories For Movie Production by Seun(mod): 2:59pm On Dec 18, 2006
Topic closed. Why? I decided to go the writer/director route.
I very much appreciate all those who have sent in script excerpts or synopses.
I think my real aim was just to express myself, and so I need to write.

That's because we believe he has not got a chance.

If she doesn't pick up, no credit will be wasted.
TV/Movies › My Movie Writer/Director Journey by Seun(mod): 8:30pm On Dec 17, 2006
Hello,

You've read some of my movie production related threads on this forum - posting stories, calling for stories, wanting to buy a camcorder, et cetera. I'm posting this topic because I've decided to be a writer/director like Mike Bamiloye.

I want to write my own stories designed to pass accross a message to the public and direct the production of movies based on those screenplays myself. Then I'll try my best to market those movies to the widest audience.

During this period, this thread is going to be my official journal. If you dream to be an actor, musician, crew member, screenplay editor, movie editor, or distributor, please keep in touch. I may soon be in need of your services.

Thanks and best regards,
Seun Osewa
PS: special thanks to my senior advisers, IAH and comb & razor.

Pat Utomi is yet to withdraw from the race. See http://patutomi2007.com/
Romance › Re: She Deserved What She Got? by Seun(mod): 2:39pm On Dec 17, 2006
Hmm. What do I know about parenting? I just felt that compassion is nothing to be discouraged. I feel that if the real concern is that you want to see more of your daughter, you can tell her that and she'll be touched.
Romance › Re: She Deserved What She Got? by Seun(mod): 2:20pm On Dec 17, 2006
You're advicing your daughter not to be loyal to her friend? Maybe she will treat you that way someday.
When you dump a man, others are allowed to pick him up. Life is not meant to be that difficult.
TV/Movies › Re: What's The Difference Between A Film And A Home Video? by Seun(mod): 12:41pm On Dec 17, 2006
Ashley says:
I recently heard the renowned experimental filmmaker Su Friederich (http://www.sufriedrich.com/) speak in Philadelphia. She was visiting Temple University’s film program and gave a guest lecture about her work. After showing some clips from her most recent film, The Head Of A Pin, shot exclusively on video, she explained that she has officially made the so-called “switch” and is not going back to shooting on film.

Su summed up her reasons for the conversion by saying that, having made a number of films and achieved considerable success, she still had a hard time finding funding her films. At the age of 50, she’s sick of spending her life savings every time she wanted to make a new film. For her, video changed all that. For just $12, she says she could shoot for a few hours instead of cleaning out her bank account for the same amount of footage. And she’s willing to accept the differences in aesthetic between film and video for video’s convenience and accessibility.

Su cited other, more specific reasons for converting as well: the disappearance of the NEA and other film funding sources; diminished amounts of grant money being awarded (e.g. a grant in the 1980s that would award $300, 000 might now be closer to $30,000); increased competition for the remaining number and amounts of film funding; and, of course, persistent rumors about film’s impending death once digital technology is improved.

I found her conversion (and her justification of it) all the more significant given the amount of her work that relies on the qualities of celluloid (i.e. scratching the film’s emulsion, optical printing, etc.) for its visual style and overall impact. If someone like Su Friederich is willing to make the switch, I imagine many more “accomplished” and veteran filmmakers will soon cross over to the “dark” side of video.

Those are mere speculations. Why would someone want to advice him based on speculations?

It's the white peoples fault that black people think that sort of hair is "demon possession" cheesy
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Employers, Please Stop Frustrating Job Seekers With Unnecessary Demands by Seun(mod): 5:19pm On Dec 16, 2006
Path to self-employment
a) Look for a problem that is really paining people.
b) Search for an affordable solution to the problem.
c) Find a customer who is willing to pay for the solution.
d) Profit. That's all, folks.

If you choose your business properly, you won't need too much initial capital.
The initial capital you need will be a little amount that your family or friends can help you out with.
A good business might not be the most glamorous, but it will be the most profitable.

Learn to use the Internet to research your business ideas. You can't expect me to do your research for you.
Career › Re: Can An Employee Ever Be Richer Than His Employer? by Seun(mod): 5:14pm On Dec 16, 2006
You're equating "trying to be richer than your employer" with stealing. That's very dishonest of you.
TV/Movies › Re: Wanted: Great Scripts And Stories For Movie Production by Seun(mod): 3:45pm On Dec 16, 2006
Another thing I'm looking for in a movie is an underlying message that I'm happy to promote with the movie.

The first movie I produce will be a 60 minute movie for VCD and DVD release internationally. cheesy
TV/Movies › Re: Wanted: Great Scripts And Stories For Movie Production by Seun(mod): 3:38pm On Dec 16, 2006
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I'm also interested in the right Yoruba script.
Politics › Re: Press Release: Gov. Donald Duke Withdraws From The Presidential Race by Seun(mod): 1:26pm On Dec 16, 2006
We are already ripe for partyless cancidacy. It's just that the people in power want to control the process.
Crime › Re: Can A Man Rape His Wife? by Seun(mod): 1:23pm On Dec 16, 2006
As long as the wife is willing to prosecute the husband, she can get him convicted. The laws are there.
Adverts › Re: Pentium 4 Desktop For Sale by Seun(mod): 12:58pm On Dec 16, 2006
Sounds like a good deal, but can yu tell us honestly why you want to sell it?

Can you also post a picture of the computer? If anything is wrong with it, let us know!
Romance › Re: Would you call a no Show Date to know why she did not make it ? by Seun(mod): 12:57pm On Dec 16, 2006
You probably left her an angry voice message. That's always a mistake with someone you hardly know.
I think she's not particularly interested in you at this time. I think you need to take the initiative or quit.

Too bad.

Isn't Nigeria large enough to have her own idol competition? I think so.
Business › Re: When Should Founders Leave A Business? by Seun(mod): 11:18pm On Dec 15, 2006
That's not what I meant by "stakeholders". I was talking about people who are neither owners nor employees.
Crime › Re: Can A Man Rape His Wife? by Seun(mod): 5:46pm On Dec 15, 2006
A man can be convicted of raping his legal wife if she's able to collect sufficient evidence e.g. video evidence.

I agree. I read one short story she wrote and it was "wow"!

TV/Movies › Re: Yoruba Actors And Actresses In Nollywood Are Better? by Seun(mod): 12:54pm On Dec 15, 2006
Everybody in Nollywood agreed that the Igbo traders have done more harm than good to the Nigerian film industry.
Rubish of the first order. Go and tell that to the people who would have been unemployed without them.
