Have u also watched American crime story ?

You look like a Ryan Murphy buff looking at your choice of both the series you asked me about. He created both ACS and AHS. You will like feud, it talks about real life famous feuds. Season 1 delved into the greatest Hollywood feud of all time. The fight for supremacy between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. God almighty.... this two women hated each other to the core and they didn't hide it either on or off set but they had to work together to save their dying careers making life hell for the director. If you did watch the last movie they both made "what ever happened to baby Jane", the kick Bette gave Joan was real and they had to shoot that scene many times as Bette claimed she wasn't really feeling the scene using a body bag, imagine being kicked and dragged around almost 12 times. I thought Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon were feuding in real life, awesome performances from both of them. I think Susan also won the globe for her performance

Season 2 will focus on the feud between prince Charles and princess Diana post divorce till her death

I liked season 1 and loved the second season. We saw Versace's death in the eyes of the one who took it and it was kinda neat in a gritty way. I think season 3 will be the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal, i'm not sure though

urahara:
Thanks a lot !!!

I'm in season 1 murder house and I'm enjoying it, I'm almost through with it.

Is it just me or does American horror story have a really weird structure ? Like seriously , are we going to ignore the way anybody was just entering the murder house anyhow ?

Like don't people knock again before entering somebody's house

The house is a major tourist attraction both on and off screen, you don't expect fans and horror geeks not to pop in once in a while and besides the season is based on a real life hunted house. You will visit the house again in season 5 & 8 i.e if you don't stop halfway like I did before I continued.

Fact : A couple bought the house used in the series last year for up close to 4 mil, now they are claiming it's haunted but the everyone and the media thinks it's either a hoax for attention or it's true but it's not haunted maybe the usual fans breakin but if really it's haunted, na dem do demselves. You saw a house on TV mirroring a real life murder house and you bought it. What were you expecting? Rainbows and unicorns?

Who don watch American horror story ?

My favorite horror series
It's an anthological show so you can start from any season you want but they all share the same universe meaning the storylines and seasons are all connected.
Let's dive in

Season 1: murder house, a cliche... Not my favorite but you might like it

Season 2: asylum, my favorite season till date... Strong in terms of plot, acting and directing. Sarah Paulson would've won the globe if you ask me

Season 3: coven, it will uplift your teen spirit. I also think it's the show's most viewed season till date because it really appealed to teenagers

Season 4: freak show, my second best. It had everything I wanted and I love how diverse the characters were

Season 5: hotel, I will call this season a quick cashgrab but one thing's for sure.... Gaga deserved that golden globe, girl can really act. I thought she was another artist turn actor wannabe but she made me swallow my words, infact her acting was what kept me waiting for "a star is born" and I wasn't disappointed, later learned she has a degree from Julliard and that was the only redeeming factor of the season

Season 6: my Roanoke nightmare, great concept, great acting and beautiful plot....... For the first 5 episodes, 6-end was just filled with jumpscares rendering the whole season to moot

Season 7: cult, the greatest concept imo, they had a fire...they just couldn't keep it lit. It was inspired by Trump's ascent to the presidential seat and the buildup

Season 8: apocalypse, had the strongest start than any season. It did mellow down close to the end but gave an ending that will change everything we knew since season 1

Season 9: 1984,haven't seen it yet but I plan to and according to what i'm hearing, it's quite good

I would advise you to start from season one... Who knows, you might like it... One man's food is another man's poison but one thing's for sure Ryan Murphy is a sick genius and him using real life serial killers and building up on that is fascinating. You are definitely in for a scary treat

HallaDaTruth:
I heard from Marvel directors that valkerie , the lady that Thor handed over his kingdom to will be made into a Lesbian character . Why are these companies trying so hard to push these negative agendas to us by force ?

Valkyrie is a lesbian in the comics, you want them to straight-wash the character in this age

My 2020 Top 10 Fated/potential Blockbuster Movie FLOPS ................................what's yours??

Every year has it's Winners and Losers at the box office. Some blockbusters which look like surefire bets at times turn out FLOPS; some are Fated to flop, some just outright disappoint and turn flops. Without further ado, here's my "potential FLOP" list in no particular order.
NB: It's just predictions and necessarily doesn't mean it'll turn out exactly as predicted. Just for fun and general Box office outlook.


Sonic: The Hedgehog..... (Paramount)
Just seems Fated to flop, even moreso after it's extra expenses in redesign of Sonic after fans backlash on an estimated $90mn production budget.


Bloodshot....... (Sony)
This looks like an outright FLOP from the Valiant Comics adaptation. Nothing spectacular to draw general public in. Not even Vin Diesel can save it.


The New Mutants ......(Fox/Disney)
This one is a Bloody FLOP with it's numerous change in release dates (4 times)— something we could have seen since 2018! Disney seems Fated to continue losing on this Fox buyout for a while.


Artemis Fowl ....... (Disney)
Looking like a potential FLOP.


Fantasy Island ........ (Sony)
Potential FLOP.


Ghostbusters: Afterlife ...... (Paramount)
Outright FLOP in the making!


Monster Hunter ....... (Sony Screen Gems)
Gonna FLOP. Game adaptations for live action movie have a history of not doing too well at the box office. Even the Director of this movie have a not so glamorous game adaptation history. Although things might be different for Sony's December "Uncharted" movie starring Tom Holland.


Coming To America 2 ......... (Paramount)
Possesses some potential FLOP vibes, coming after 32 years for a sequel! And Eddie Murphy's lost his box office mojo/clout.


GI Joe: Ever Vigilant .......(Paramount)
Possesses outright FLOP vibes.


Dune .......... (Warner Bros.)
Potential FLOP especially since the first live action adaptation was a Flop. I'm hard pressed to include this in my LIST. I honestly don't see it as an outright flop but maybe a lesser disappointment cause of it's Killer CAST. That CAST alone is "Butt in Seats" guaranteed, also Denis Villeneuve has some critical pedigree. Even the release date pushed to December holidays makes it a likely HIT, with slight competition in a season with no Star Wars or clear Box office Juggernaut except The Croods 2.


PS: I just feel this is the most likely WB blockbuster movie to be a FLOP— even a better candidate Flop than Kong vs Godzilla. I just included it to make it more Transparent, objective and seemingly Unbiased.




** Seems Universal escaped...hmmm. it's looking like a super duper YEAR for Universal. IMHO. OOH I FORGOT DOLITTLE, it's out already and a FLOP TOO.

Dune shouldn't be on that list at all. The first one wasn't good and dude it's Dennis Villeneuve

Glad to see this thread discussing other movies than being their regular comic nerdy selves. I love the diversity although the comment above me had to derail from the flow

I knew this ban wouldn't hold. Netflix's lawyers are............
So... Who else canceled their subscription?

Folahanmi19:
can you send me link please

There it is

BetWinners:
@Emboldened That is all that matters.Every other thing you mentioned is null and void
How do you think Miramax films & those who worked with that company under the tutelage of Bob & Harvey Weinstein won so many "prestigious" awards?
Wetin concern "stellar performance" with winning awards when connections/man know man is involved?
Get with the program bruv

Performances do matter because there are D-list studios who never leave these award shows empty handed but you have a point though

DandeNumeruno:
don't blaspheme like this again, don't you dare!

Lol... Now I'm in trouble

oyaskii:
I beg to differ tbh, why both actress nailed both role, i think Pike's was more believable and memorable hence had the more critic praise.

Pike's character was far more believable because she had a motive, a drive, gal was pushed whereas, Blake's woke up one morning and decided to go nuts after a convo with a friend

troubleseller:
So, Rafiki was that movie. I never knew. I'll watch it soon.

Yes, it's that film. Lol

You got it

CsRockefeller:
Know him mostly for the action packed movies. But, some Actors may not be able to interpret any role. Actors like Samuel L Jackson, Wesley Snipes and co. Dwayne Johnson is one guy I know that can do that, not forgetting Tyler Perry.

He was in "Les Miserable" before the greatest showman so he's no stranger to musicals. The others will have to go for voice training if they truly want to take on a musical role because I haven't heard them sing, maybe i've heard the rock and snipes in too Wong too or it's just my imagination playing wild

kendrick93:
she was good no doubt but better than pike?.
Pike delivered an Oscar-worthy performance, it's hard to top that.

Maybe I'm biased because of the way gone girl ended

CsRockefeller:
I agree, playing such a role isn't easy especially if the actor isn't known for that kind of.role or had to undergo series of changes (physical and otherwise) for the role.

Like Hugh Jackman, having been known for his roles in the Wolverine franchise was able to remarkably fit into the Greatest Show Man, with his voice and dancing skills away from the physical guy we know.

As an actor, it's your job to interpret any role you are given. You will be surprised at the in depth performances if Will Ferell or Seth Rogen were given the role. We always typecast those actors not knowing their depth

Hugh Jackman did a lot of Broadway in the past, you do a lot of singing and dancing on Broadway so I don't think it was that hard to get into character

BetWinners:
If Joaquin Phoenix had liked,he should have starved himself to look like the Ethiopian famine victims in the 1980s.
If the studio that produced the Joker movie hadnt campaigned for him to win that award,he would have won nothing.
"The game is rigged muthafuckas"--George Carlin

I'm not even gonna disagree with you on that

The campaign added with the performance and the journey of the actor to get into character were the perfect recipe to win

troubleseller:
Bruh, I tell you. I've always been overlooking foreign language films but I learnt my mistake. I like how they give different perspectives on issues. I have Rafiki, a Kenyan film, on my watchlist.

We tend to downplay foreign movies a lot. I saw rafiki as an African version of the French film "blue is the warmest color", they both share the same message and in both, color plays an important role in their plot. Too bad Rafiki was banned by the same country it was made because the ending was hopeful. I would have loved for audiences to see that pure form of art

Flexherbal:
This is serious !

Hope he will not be raping his fellow prisoners!

This time, he won't be the one in power instead he will be the bottom bitch of some macho gay gang members

DonFreshmoney:
He should be given a plaque. A lifetime achievement award for this act. Imagine, and he is still a young man.

It's not easy raping a man, he must be very strong to hold a fellow man down and repeatedly rape him
Kudos bro

He pretends to be their friend and drugs them. He doesn't rape them when they are conscious

troubleseller:
Judy - 6.5/10
Renee Zewellger really nailed Judy's mannerisms.

The Farewell - 7.5/10

Judy disappointed me and I was so looking forward to it, I mean it's Judy Garland for Pete's sake but Renee gave an awesome performance

kendrick93:
A simple favour-9/10
something about this movie reminded me of Gone girl, maybe it was Blake Lively performance which was quite similar to Rosamund pike.
Excellent movie all round

Blake's best performance IMO. She played a sociopath so well that I believed she was one in real life, more believable than Pike's coupled with her gender-bending menswear

For those of you who struggled with the witcher's timeline

CsRockefeller:
So Mr Phoneix won best Actor at the Globe's for his role in the Joker.

I have to watch Joker for the second time, seems I am missing something. Asides those dance steps, body movements don't see anything special in his performance.

Just my opinion though.

I still haven't seen joker but I knew he would win. Awards are not just handed out because of a actor's performance, they also look at what the actor had to go through to get into character. He did loose a lot of weight for the role hence the advantage he had over other nominees with stellar performances

troubleseller:
Is this a question or you are saying it wasn't homoerotic? Anyhow, I don't care much about "undertones" and surely there will always be people who say The Lighthouse had those undertones, afterall, it is about two men in a lighthouse but like I said I haven't seen it so I can't speak clearly on it.

I'm saying it's not homoerotic. I also haven't seen it but I plan to and watching the trailer, I think there was glimpse of both of them waltzing. I may be wrong but anything can happy when madness descents on two men

Every now and then a viral ‘dream job’ pops up offering candidates the chance to travel the world for £££, testing out private jets or something similar. There was this one, where people had to house sit their way around the planet, this one, where someone was hiring a barefoot bookseller in the Maldives, or our personal favourite: an advert for someone to man a post office in Antarctica. If none of those tickled you, perhaps you would rather get paid to take smoke large amounts of weed. It differs from the usual format in that you won’t be sent anywhere far flung to enjoy your joints. That will be done from your own home, presumably – and the company hiring specifies that the person they choose will have to live somewhere the drug is legal. We should add that using cannabis can be risky to some people’s mental health and is obviously not legal in the UK.
you’re still keen, however, the advert from AmericanMarijuana.org says: ‘We’re looking for someone to review a wide variety of cannabis products to give our readers an honest and reliable insights on various cannabis products. ‘The applicant will have to write about their honest reviews and opinions of the product in the form of a blog. Moreover, they must also be comfortable in front of the camera since the job includes unboxing videos and explainer videos of how each cannabis product performs and differs from other, more notable products in the category.’ The job ad says that the successful applicant ‘needs to be physically fit and healthy in general to carry out cannabis product reviews regularly’. Whoever gets the gig will be paid up to $3,000 monthly or $36,000 yearly ‘depending on their experience and their capabilities’. In addition, they will get free cannabis products ‘sent on a monthly basis to your address for testing’. The samples will include everything ranging from weed strains, vapes and edibles to CBD oils.

IHate9jerianss:
Any fans of obscure indie movies should quote my post with a list.As for movies in 2019 I enjoyed the french movie-Portrait of a lady on fire.
There was a post on this thread a few weeks ago on how to download movies and tv shows with---index? .If anyone remembers it please repost it.It will be much appreciated

I really want to see "portrait of a lady on fire". I saw the trailer

DandeNumeruno:
it's very weird movie but the advantage I had is that I expected the weirdness. it's an ari aster movie after all.

He's really one to watch out for. I look forward to his next project
