i wasn't even taking a dig at you but I guess the shoe fits....

All the people that have been screaming , don’t eat while watching , proceeds to quote the only post saying such (which was made days ago, dedicated the time to find it)
But it’s not a dig.

Gaslighting much?

My last mention of this btw , generally I have a rule of ignoring quotes from here because it’s always an ego wielding contest with you lot

Broskyjames:
People who are "screaming" that "Saltburn" is weird or "Make sure you are not eating when seeing it" probably need to see more movies because it isn't even a Top 20 weird movie material if that kind of list is ever made.

I went in waiting to see all the hype on how disturbing it was only to find out, it is a pretty straightforward "normal" movie to an average cinephile and that left me a bit disappointed.

Congratulations. Best in watching movies 👏🏆🥇

I thought as much. Happy New Year.
Hoping to see more of the "thickness" this year. 😉✌🏽

Wishing you the same 😊

abduleez1:
You've entered a resurgence this December. 😉
What am I missing? 🤪

lol. Holidays , more time on my hands 😂

Saltburn 2023

Trigger warning : don’t watch while eating or after a meal.
I didn’t think much could surprise me after watching the peach scene in call me be your name, 2017 but this was a discovery. It tested the limits of my imagination.

I can’t even rate because I am unsure what to rate it.

abduleez1:
One of the top classic movies on my watchlist for ages I'm yet to watch. 2023 has passed me by and I still haven't watched this. 🥲🥲

I have a whole lot of them on my list as well.
Still yet to watch the Godfather franchise, Scarface etc
I think it was this year I watched Fight Club and the Color Purple.

Pulp Fiction 1994 : 9/10

No wonder this movie is a classic. Amazing storytelling by Quentin Tarantino, the sequencing was perfect. Easily one of the best opening and ending scenes I’ve seen.

When I found out why Jules wasn’t in Butch’s apartment, I was awed. Then the plot with zed and Maynard had my mouth open 😂

Kudos 👍

Barbie 2023 : 6.5/10

I have a rule of not watching trailers , because I want the movies to surprise me. If I watch trailers, my chances of being disappointed is about 70%.

When Barbie was the buzz everywhere, I cautiously avoided clicking on the trailer, it was hard because everyone was talking about it 😁.

I didn’t know what to expect from a doll movie but the plot did surprise me, how did we arrive at feminism and patriarchy from a doll 😂😂.

Thumbs up for creativity. Plus I did chuckle a few times from the lines

Thatthickgirl, I enjoy reading your diary.

Please where do you get your wigs? Do buy from Nigeria? If yes, how do they deliver them to you?

Yes, I buy from Nigeria.

I use shipping companies (I also use them to get my Nigerian food items) , the last time I used them was in August and I think it was #6500 per kg

Illusioneffect:
Every dialogue in the mood was bad bro.
The fact that this is a movie that's poised to be the next Star Wars is laughable tbh. I love Snyder and I prayed this movie would be really good but it fell short.
First off and my main concern was the movie had no spirit at all. No humour, I didn't feel anything for the characters - the folks that joined her - the reason for joining her in the adventure was so bland to me- the rebellion and the reasons why one would die for a cause wasn't really fleshed out at all. Good Sci Fi movies should have humor esp through dialogue and physical humour but I saw none of that.
Also the story was so dry. Like every other SciFi movie, it doesn't have a new story to tell. The plot twist was already known in 30 minutes after the film started- no suspense at all
I just rewatched it the 3rd time and I'm giving it a 4/10

The bold text summarize why I gave it a 5. It feels like I had seen the movie before. Too cliche for my liking.

The scene with the guy flying the bird or creature was not needed. The way I rolled my eyes Ehn.

But what do I know 🤷‍♀️

Hi knowledgeable gurus

I have a question please.

Is the Jeep Patriot (MK74) a good car?

Rebel Moon Part One (2023) : 5/10

I didn’t watch the trailer but I was expecting more because it is Zack Snyder.

The plot and most scenes are cliches. The protagonist being the biggest cliche 😂. I can’t count the amount of times I rolled my eyes.

Maybe I’ve just watched too many movies and series.

We use MLA.I haveproblem with structureand organization in writing

I think the basics is ; introduction, body and conclusion as we were taught.
Also make sure , each paragraph conveys an idea i.e ( if you are writing about 3 ideas , you will have a paragraph for introduction, 3 paragraph for the ideas (body) and a last paragraph for conclusion).

For the sentence structure, start with the main point (the first 2/3 sentences in the paragraph), so the readers know exactly what you’re writing about without having to read everything. Then the remaining sentences can be used to explain the first sentences.

Also re-read to ensure there is a logical flow in your words.

I don’t know if this helps and there are different types of writing (e.g a thesis and dissertation will be different, I assume that’s not what you need help with but assignments in class)

A tip : I always make my introductions catchy , so the reader has no option than to be intrigued. Though there is a school of thought that believes catchy introductions are cliches.

Sisib15:
I need help!
My writing is bad ehn and it's affecting my grades. How can I get better? Any idea and suggestions is welcome.

What part of the writing do you have issues with ?
Use of vocabulary and concepts ?
APA style ?

How could you not tell she's female from the start?

I thought it was pretty obvious....
Even apart from the voice, she didn't act like a male at all...

Uhn
Because from the beginning she was portrayed as a demon, any anomaly was chucked up to her being different from the rest , didn’t think it was because she was female.

Blue Eye Samurai : 11/10

SPOILERRRRR

The extra one point, is because she’s female and the reveal was so unexpected.
I’m all about women being badass, I am so impressed with this series. Mizu reminds me of Mulan (my best animation)

Can’t wait to see what the city of London holds

I'm not sure I understand you, are you in the US? The more the experience the better, but check previous pages (1-10) to learn more about the procedure and see if you qualify.

Thank you. Do you think GAship would count as work experience?

Thank you

Schrodinger2:
Finally here, after seeing all pages.

Nice thread Mary! Hope yours turned out well.

I’m also curious about those already in the US. Please what is the years of work experience needed before one can start this process.

Thank you
