Nice lists

Esp Clockwork Orange and 2001:,
You prolly forgot to add Dark City

@Gamine, you're just not diabolically inclined. You're like Dr. Carmen in House. M. D. minus the agnostic part though.

All these incarnations, re-incarnations and re-re-incarnations can disturb a fellas balance. What happened this time Sisi?

Moonlighting, definitely.
Plus Matlock and Sledge Hammer.
I love Gilligan's Island too

Gimme a moment to wash my face. I'd have sworn Akin007 posted here. Guess I was hallucinating.

All the more reason why he's a sublime actor.

@Max, I meant Foxx probably deserved his oscar but that doesn't make him a good actor. Permit me to make an analogy; Two nice guys were walking along a street. A kid abruptly crosses the road and almost got hit by a car. One of the nice guys saves the kid. Daringly too. But that doesn't make him nicer than his friend. It means he just got the opportunity to save the kid and thus everybody applauds the 'savior' and ignore the really nicer guy. Jamie is the 'savior' and all other better actors without an oscar are collectively the nicer but unrecognised, uncelebrated , overlooked guy. I hope I make sense.

@Gamine I hope you mean Scara of Lion King cuz he was one bad mutha*bleep*bleep*

Fancy that! A Spikyn thread. I loved The Joker along with everyone else but I think there was a flaw in his disposition: He's the only self-acclaimed nutjob I've ever heard of. The dude KNOWS he's crazy.

I'm game for the virtual movie thingie

@Max, what I meant about Foxx was that the role fit him perfectly. That doesn"t make him a good actor. He was great in Ray, but that's just about the only film he was great in. And he happens to win an oscar for it. Whoopdeedo! Just imagine, Depp, Burton etc are still plague with insecurity and uncertainty of their genius and Foxx, Berry get on the of Racial condescension. They were given oscars because they saw their performances as a window to appease their collective guilt. Don't confuse me. I just want to think of the few oscars that black people have won to be for sensible movies and sensible roles.

About Joaquin, it's really sad. I saw him recently in "We own the night" he was great as usual. When was this purported announcement made? I hope it's a publicity stunt. Like MJ's, Michael Jordan not the moving veggy.

F**king A

They should make you moderator, don't you think?

After all these months? Y'all come and revive this thread? Wait, what am I doing here? Oh, yeah, right, stalking Max.

Gamine:
Vesc,

It doesnt really matter,

My husbands family matters more.

Now you don't really mean that do you?

If Baby_Jinx catches you. You'd be supper. Don't say I didn't warn you o!

Why does Stevie and Scorsese have the same # of votes?

Negro. 43 odd to-do list! I don't see the usual roll in the hay. Or doesn't that count too. Sheesh!

Gamine:
Not only will i discard my maiden name

i will ask my Husband to Rename me completely.

haba, Gamine, what about the uneme family tree?

I played both installments of Max Payne on PC. I liked the storyline in both of them. Especially the first. Sounded like something Frank Miller would write, draw (is there a word for what he does?) depict. Anyways from what I hear of the film, I'll see it if I can just to satisfy my curiousity. I dunno where they got the demon bits from. Except if Payne was hallucinating in the film. Either way they've spoiled my guy's persona. The Maximum Pain in bad guys' collective asses

Well, it's nice to see everybody being blunt. Refreshing

@Lubracasi. You'll learn to think of Baby_Jinx as Dr. Gregory House if he was cute and cuddly and smiling and saying A while meaning B. And the worst part is that if you don't get it the first time, well, goodluck, you might do a rhinoplasty when all that's needed is a simple dosage. I kid.

Seriously I feel you Lubracasi, and we need more people like you. But frankly you gotta realise the position me and my goons are in. There are these people who love nollywood the way it is. Nollywood that will show you a scene of someone taking a leak for 5 minutes just so you'd get the idea that "This is John Smith. This is John Smith here taking a leak. He should be through in a second. Almost there. Almost there. There, done, see? That was John Smith taking a leak" Point is, naija folks see nothing wrong with things like these. That's why nollywood movies go into pentalogies. They film what's supposed to take a minute in twenty. Dude you're even in Manchester. You don't know what we go through. You'd be watching a local station and all of a sudden a rabid maniac's voice will flood the room and after spilling his brouhaha end thus: "GET UR COPY NOW!!!!!!!!!" But I digress.

I can hardly talk about nollywood without getting worked up. What I'm trying to say is that I have no other means of making an impact than making nollywood lovers realise that they are wasting their time with the present crop of crap parading as films. They'd be better off reading newspapers. Frankly nollywood has negative vibes as it is. Makes you dumber, superstitious and all kinds of ills.

In short, I'm on a mission to open the eyes of the people. Better placed folks will do the actual revolution.

P.S. I believe we do not really lack the actors. The directors and producers are the real problem. The actors just need motivation (materially, socially and intellectually). We have some quite good series. What're they doing right that nollywood can't seem to find if it gave them an uppercut? The one I don't miss is Paradise Boulevard or something. I can't remember.

P.S. P.S. Sisi, when are you gonna review my writs?
