Alright. I hope so. Thanks for not taking my comment as some sort of insult too. |
There're some things that can't be saved. Superman may be one of them. I think perhaps ample departure from the cliched prowess of this superhero may make it bearable. Something akin to what Nolan did to Batman. Superman's costume is more ridiculous though. 2013 is two years away. That's a good sign, I guess. Plenty to be done |
^^^ Sorry egbon, I think you need not bring up peoples' relations all the time, you know. |
Liked Limitless. The little speech by that East European dude before he got stabbed was beautiful. Overall, great film. I might have casted Shia LaBeouf and made the film a less gory dark comedy but Bradley did well. This guy is becoming something sef. Sanctum. Many people seem to hate the film and I'm just imagining how? I would watch this film if it had no audio and I didn't even know what was going on. I found almost every scene beautiful. Except a few where there were a few CGI glitches IMO. And that Frank dude, I'd love a father like that. Figurine next. I hope. Pressure can do wonders! |
Nah, not Blue Bloods. Maybe there isn't even Blue in it but it's about beach cops that prance about on bicycles. Maybe Miami is in the title. Maybe I'm making them up sef. Stupid brain of mine. |
Sigh |
ogoamaka99:Jeebus! You coulda said all of the above with a quarter of the words, I'm sure. Anyways who are Perdition and Benial and why do they seem to have a lotta kids on this forum? Merde |
Truly flummoxed as to the meaning of the thread but the world will certainly end one way or another. I think we'll destroy it before the sun does. |
Hawaii 5-0 reminds me of an old show that had Blue in its title. Never saw an episode though. I thought it'd be too light for me |
A couple of films I saw recently. Priest: Quite possibly the cheesiest thing I ever saw. Almost nothing seemed believable and it had a decent cast. Ok, not really. I'm disappointed in Karl Urban though. Why? WHY? Hangover 2: A lil over the top sometimes. It made me appreciate the first one more. There was one funny scene that you shouldn't watch with your parents. Or your children. If you watch with both, just shoot yourself. Saw Face Off after oh I dunno how long. It's a classic. It just occurred to me that Nic Cage has been in pretty decent action flicks. The Rock, Con Air, etc but they're old. His acting, like fish, stinks with time Gonna see Limitless, Figurine and Sanctum soon. Very good, good, bad. |

all4naija:Thank God you didn't say butt off. It woulda been two hundred push ups and seven hours conversation |
For health reasons I will not check out the trailer. |
You're pretty excited to see the last of the franchise. Bittersweet eh? It better go out with a bang. And then actually die cuz Radcliffe is getting bear bear |
all4naija:^ Are you gay? Or 10? Or both? Now I have to do seventy push ups with my chest hair and have a three hour conversation without words with Master Chu for not being nice. Anyways, I saw Dog Day Afternoon. A 1975 movie with Al Pacino. He was pretty much doing all the acting but he was great and so was the movie. Great story about gay people incidentally. At least Master Chu will smile at the irony/pun . . . . without moving his lips. |

I came here pretty sure what I would say but these two over sane people with Jays in their names have scattered my head. All I know is this: If someone murders someone I love, I'll murder the person on the spot if it's within my power. That wouldn't be me acting in cold blood. It'd be a crime of passion. I wouldn't expect to simply walk away and go home because I've done the State's work for it. I'd expect to go to jail, probably for life but I'd do it. I'm sure of it. In the discussions, I noticed some of you segue from "what the Lord says" to "what I think" to "what the secular law says" and it's causing confusion. If not that the posters here are people with sense and maturity, we'd have been breaking beer barrels on each others' backs. Morality is a tricky subject. This is a case of who will watch the watchers. If you don't deserve to live, you shouldn't. We should consider that we'll all die anyways. The punishment is just fast forwarding due date. We're all on death row. Btw, I support the 'beyond a shadow of a doubt' thing. But then, that is impossible to prove when cold blooded murder is concerned. How do you know voices in his head didn't make him do it? Or he has MPD? The whole thing is really tricky. It may well be best if capital punishment was abolished altogether |
The Fountain. Second time. My next favourite love story after Bram Stoker's Dracula Splice. I am profoundly on the fence about this movie. ![]() |

InesQor, I hail back! I'm lightdays away so, forgive me |
In other words, mtschew thehomer: |
MRbrownJAY:E be like say Mukina delete your post when she wan delete her own and nairaland no get recycle bin. Take heart eh? |
Beautiful bullshit, all this. We do realize this, don't we? ![]() |
I like this thread. You people should talk more |
I guess it would be awkward (even though he'll be dead) for a criminal to tell JeSoul, 'I need this your speech like I need a hole in the head' |
Hmmmn. Seems I missed the saloon brawl. And now the quintessential tumbleweeds are rolling by. Tsk tsk tsk |
Vesc hears a hoo. Plenty things to read up on here. Later jare. I'm only interested in Super 8. Funny thing is the film came out way earlier than I thought it would. All people with the onomatopoetic 'Jay' or 'Jay jay' are some kinda wizards. |
Hiya JeSoul. I see your point clearer now Pastor. But I don't consider spirituality and religion to be the same thing. Religion is stiff and dogmatical and anti-reason. You can be a spiritual Christian or Muslim. No need to pay tithe like you're giving God egunje. There're spiritual atheists. There're some who have spiritual experiences but are so stubborn that they'll be the last to admit it. Em, sweetnecta. Even though you've written plenty dissertations nothing concern Islam or even Christianity with this topic na. |
Mein Gott! It is so easy to communicate with you, Pastor. I agree with the point that love (I discount lust and class religion as love too , merely of some deity) causes man to excel himself. Or debase himself. Inasmuch as they can be factors to bring out the best in us, they're also the same things that bring out the worst in us. For instance, I find it that the only time I'm capable of hate is in defense of someone I love. I can easily dislike someone who doesn't like someone I like. I digress. My point is this: coincidence or not, it doesn't prove anything because evil is also resultant of religion. I think man has achieved some great things in spite of religion and not because of it. If you think of the ancient Egyptians and their mummies and pyramid, you still will be awed. No one knows how they did those things. It is due to religion. But algebra and many breakthroughs made in Arabia did not happen because of Islam any more than Christianity helped Farraday or Judaism/pantheism/whatever-the-dude-was-into helped Einstein. It is a bitter pill to swallow but most of the contemporary scientific breakthroughs are made by atheists, agnostics, skeptics and nominal whatevers. The progress due to religion is apparent but the regress is not, for you cannot miss what never was. The world is changing. The middle east is clamoring for secularism. Religion will soon be what it ought to be, a deeply personal affair. We may be heading towards that apocalypse. We may be heading towards utopia. No one knows how much better the world would have been without religion. It may well be worse. But I doubt it. |
It's difficult to learn anything from this section these days. Sigh. Does it matter who wrote the bible? Well, if you're gonna treat it like Aesop's fables then of course not. But if you're gonna hang on every word dogmatically and hinge your life and afterlife on what it says then hell yes, it matters. It is my belief that God is not unreasonable and not everyone who rejects Christianity, for instance, because it's too fantastic for him does so because he is 'proud' as is often the favourite phrase. Faith comes from a foundation of proof and all the people I know who have genuine faith in something got that faith from a PERSONAL experience. Not because of some book or some Gandhi. It may well be from a passage in a book after all but that passage would resonate with the individual the way it wouldn't with anyone else. The article was well written and it has a valid point. Scholars are the same with us. They just have plenty of scripture to back whatever hunch they have. It's by no means an exact science. If it was, they'd all be in agreement. The lesson here is we cannot tell beyond a shadow of a doubt that this and this are additions based on differences on writing style. The probability may be very high but it is not complete. Also here's a thought: we often think the bulk is the original and the tiny anomalies are the impurities, additions. What if the 'editors' wrote a whole lotta stuff around these 'impurities' leaving almost no trace of the original? Just a thought. The 'impurity' may be the original. P.S. Does it occur to anyone that the author seems to be Jewish? I dunno. Is he? |
Insultive. New word. |
Em, the finale didn't make sense? Oh, sounds great! I see you, Sisi. |
