Why did you wait for the movie to come out first na
Suspense will kill you sha.

I would suggest you read the wheel of time, its an epic, with excellent world building, movie coming in November on Amazon prime.... but mehn the books are huge, probably need 6 to 7months to properly digest them...

What's the dune books like?

armadeo:
I'm still on the first one. I have no idea how long it will take and its surely a slow burn dabbled with the occasional excitement.

abduleez1:
Omo, Bros you be strong man oo.

Don't know why books is ultimately hard to read these days. I woulda preferred physical hardcopy books, they're easier and lesser distractions.
Wish you God Speed in your quest.

Me, I no get strength, I can't kill myself. The ones I got a week ago from Kaycee7, na glance I don glance through one.

I hope to read up some pages of the Fire and Blood, just before House of the Dragon.

MJBOLT:

there's a movie based on this,have you seen it??

Ishilove:
VerifiedStalin, the book I'm referring to is The Fog by James Herbert. I read it when I was in JSS2

Nickshrapnel:
Where did you buy/download the books from? I’d like to read it later.

Ishilove:
I'll Google it but the Mist I read is about a strange mist that came into a town and drove its inhabitants into homicidal episodes.

Nickshrapnel:
Will you be able to finish them before the movie comes out?

Ishilove:
Frank Herbert! The first Herbert novel I read a trillion years ago was The Mist. I had no idea he wrote the Dune series

NaijaOlosho:
Please help me, what breed of Dog Is This?

abduleez1:
Lol,

Difference is Asians are not blind to pandering as Blacks are.
Especially Chinese, they don't give two fvvks how Hollywood thinks their society or people should be. Disney tried it with Mulan and you can see how indifferent Chinese were to the movie. I think same happened to Crazy Rich Asians.

I suspect same treatment might meet Shang Chi in the middle Kingdom. But it's wait and see. I am interested to see how it plays in China.

Gmajor:
Have you seen The descent?
It captures claustraphobia exceptionally

AnfieldFan:
I mean't AOTD being better than Shang Chi..... Literally everyone loves the movie(Shang Chi)....

As regards AOTD....The premise of stealing from a casino in a city overrun by zombies can make for a good story on paper.... Just the execution was subpar...That's what I mean by being good on paper but poor translation on screen...
Maybe, a different director would have done better...

AnfieldFan:
I haven't seen Shang Chi yet but I doubt...
I have mixed feelings about AOTD....
Good action...Good plot on paper...Abysmal plot execution and direction on screen...

pu7pl3:
this is Shang Chi in a nutshell...

Only difference is the main actors are actually very likeable and charismatic unlike Simu and Akwafina

pu7pl3:
unpopular opinion: Army of the dead is better than Shang Chi

Ps: I'm not a Snyder bot

Kaycee7:
Is ZSJL's case really brigading? Or is it more a case of a movie being successful with its target audience? Can the Snydra fanbase really be accused of brigading if they were the majority that watched and rated the movie?

Kaycee7:
Boy, aren't we busy bees? From gaming audience polls to rigging streaming numbers? Funny how Netflix doesn't realize that and is making a prequel but you on the outside are privy to this information.

pu7pl3:
This guy You dey like cap but I admire your workrate

Kaycee7:
Then apparently, most people who watched ZSJL liked what they saw.

Kaycee7:
Well seems those days are behind us. From ZSJL to The Suicide Squad, great audience reception.

Kaycee7:
So Netflix brigaded the movie?

Kaycee7:
Lol! All the fanatics need to know is that it's an MCU property. All these unknown director and unknown lead star takes are irrelevant once you consider the production company. There's nothing preposterous about the idea of Shang Chi being brigaded.

Kaycee7:
If it was really very recurring, how is it that DCEU movies only have a handful of decently rated movies and fewer highly rated movies?

Kaycee7:
If I seem to belong squarely to the Snydra subset, it's because man gets a lot of unfair criticism. Also does this Snydra fanbase only exist within DC? Why didn't they brigade Army of the Dead?

BankyGee:
Guys how true is this news?

pu7pl3:
lies there are females that everyone knows they are mid but to make her feel better about herself you tell her she is beautiful in her own way

That's what's happening with Shang Chi

pu7pl3:
"in its own way"

Just like saying a mid looking girl is beautiful in her own way...
