Oh? I was refering to the tractor beam elevator like thingie I grew up knowing about. Jesus may well come back. It's the least he could do.

Lol, MyJoe. How's Antartica? Do people still believe in Rapture? That must be where those Roswell ideas came from.

I'm going to sacrifice my diet regimen and eat more. I'll also sacrifice time I use to stay awake.

I wanna talk to you

It seems we're getting desensitized to the very real possibility that some films actually make no sense and it's not a matter of deciphering or unraveling something hidden but they simply make no sense cuz they're senseless. Are we open to that idea? I'll check out Primer one day but generally time travel messes everything up and it's impossible not to have paradoxes.

The U.K. box office top ten.

10. Yogi Bear has dropped a phenomenal six places to last. An equal feat to its being here like since forever.

9. West Is West is up a place this week and I don't expect the rise to continue.

8. True Grit is also up a place. This one is a real fighter.

7. I Am Number Four is down four places this week. It's not doing great on any list.

6. Gnomeo and Juliet is sixth freefalling from top spot last week. Cool. Lol

5. The King's Speech is up a place to fifth, giving lie to the opinions I expressed in the U.S. list.

4. Paul. The film only on the U.K. list for some reason is down two spots.

3. Unknown is just making itself known in the U.K. and it debuts at third.

2. The Adjustment Bureau is making its debut too at second place same as the U.S.

1. A similar turn of events have found Rango emerge as number one. As expected I'd say.

This is coming in late. The list is a bit old.

The U.S. box office top ten

10. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. I say again: Never! The film is down from sixth and it's got one foot out the door

9. I Am Number Four is down four places too and it comes in at ninth. It's having a hard time competing, no doubt.

8. Another four steps downer is the romcom, Just Go With It. Some people say it's a good film. Probably that means you won't get sudden Asperger's when you see it.

7. The King's Speech is holding down its spot at seventh. If I'm not mistaken, the British seem to have gotten over the movie. Probably cuz no one will pay to watch a movie at the cinema twice.

6. Unknown is down three spots and is sixth this week. It's doing pretty well considering there have been exactly three new entries in the top ten. Coming soon, those.

5. Gnomeo and Juliet, the film I love to hate on and that I've totally been unfairly biased about for no reason at all, is down four places and is fifth. Go, bad belle, go.

4. Hall Pass. Down from second last week. Owen Wilson is in this film. Keep your brain in the freezer but tell someone you trust or you might forget not to go back for it.

3. Beastly. One of the three new entries. If there's anything worse than the love-child of The Covenant and any Twilight movie, this is it. I won't even bother with a synopsis lest I get brain damage. There's one Vanessa in it who is supposed to be some kinda celebrity. Pfff

2. The Adjustment Bureau. Matt Damon, who picks his roles and not the other way around, is always awesome. Unfortunately, the film is a collage of cliched ideas from the series Flash Forward to the films, Next, Deja vu and more. It's basically about a dude, Damon, who somehow sees what's in store for his future and he seeks to change it for he doesn't like it. I'm sure it will be spun in an original and refreshing way.

1. I'm even more excited about the number one movie. Funny, I don't think I heard about this movie at all when it was in the works. It's called Rango and it's an animation about a chameleon suffering from an identity crisis. That enough is enough to get you interested but there's more, Johnny Depp lends his voice to the chameleon.

You shoulda put up a wager but I'll pass anyway.

Jk, I'm eager to punctuate your thoughts on Memento with 'Right? Right?'

Ah, good lad.

Lol. You're waiting patiently AND tapping your feet Vieira. It's been forever I saw Donnie Darko too. Jake was real creepy back then. I remember him waking up during a sunset and ride his bike home, I think.

Obinna, you have to dare us to even watch Primer to begin with.

All this national assembly runs don tire me. Anyhow anyhow until JeSoul returns from Krypton. I will like to do Legends of the Guardians.

Wow! Thanks for clearing that up Obinna. It all makes sense now

The U.S. box office is the it was last week. It's either that or I haven't been treated.

The U.K. box office without further ado.

10. Debuting at last place is West Is West. It is a reuniting of the original cast of what seemed to be a sensation in the UK. East Is East was the original and West Is West features a return to Punjabi ways by the Khan family to learn some home truths. It all sounds like something Wes Anderson woulda directed but this was done by one Andy De Emmony.

9. True Grit drops five places from fourth. Probably due to the flux of new movies. I predict a struggle before it finally disappears.

8. No Strings Attached is only just making its debut in the UK. It may be a hit. It may be a miss.

7. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son. Down two places. Mtschew.

6. The King's Speech is sixth now and was third last week. Probably cuz every British person has already seen it. What's left are the immigrants and visitors and etc.

5. Tangled is probably a favourite of only me. Loved the film, in spite of myself. It's up two places this week. Yeah!

4. Yogi Bear is also up two places. I've still not come around to checking it out. It must be a pleasant surprise.

3. I Am Number Four is debuting at third. It gives me the Jumper vibe but it may be better.

2. Paul is down from top spot and is runner up this week.

1. In the U.S. Gnomeo and Juliet planned and executed a successful coup. Now it's happened in the U.K. too. I swear it's trying to take the world over. Gnomeo and Juliet is up from third. Numero uno film in the U.K. for this week.

That's all folks!

Perhaps you can explain the parts of American Psycho Sisi is having trouble with. I can't remember enough

Hmmm. I'm a confused person and I'm always doubting my motives. I usually pray for people in private but the only person I don't feel creeped out praying for in public is JeSoul. Frankly, I don't think she needs my prayers. She must be neck high in em. God bless the good, the bad and the ugly folks of nl.

Ach. I really can't remember. It seemed to have an ending that was confusing. I think if there was a suggestion that some of the murders were all in his head, then it's safe to say that all the killings, or atleast some, were indeed just imagination.

Ah. I was only a kid when I saw American Psycho. And to me then, Willem Defoe was the evilest actor ever but Christian Bale etched himself in my memory regardless. I can't remember much of the film. I only remember Bale lived alone, stinkingly rich and kills people as a night time extra-curricula activity. Have at it though, Babyjinx

me nko? I need some of that good stuff

Yeah, Sisi. That theory is bit popular. It is probably all romanticism. I think it's more likely bull than his story. The theory opens a can of questions.
One, he'd have to be somewhat cured now if that was him.
Two, it'd mean he got effed up before his wife's death and what caused it.
Three, I doubt he'd have a wife that would require insulin shots for he couldn't be more than 35.
Four, sigh, it's becoming endless.

Unrelated to the Jenkins thing though, how does he know he has a condition when his condition is supposed to block that fact from him. An amnesiac shouldn't know he is an amnesiac until someone explains it to him. It's just like a madman telling you he's mad. He always knows he has a condition without a tattoo or any memento. Do you follow what I'm saying?

I've not seen Mulholland Drive or Primer. Seems to be convoluted messes, both. To your question, Sisi. Sammy Jenkins seems to be the dude he was anecdoting about. The one with memory loss and whose wife ODed on insulin by his hand. I'm not totally sure if Sammy was real or just a creation of his. Anyways, he came in contact with him through his work as an investigator for an insurance company. Seems too detailed to be a figment of his imagination.

Patricide

Still watching V. Quite good. But it needs better actors. The lead and that Morris Chestnut are terrible. Anna's lieutenant would've been an awesome Spock in any Star Trek. And Anna is still hot.

Are you serious? Normally, I'd ignore such a thread but the 0.00000001 chance that you're serious is disturbing.

so?

I didn't see your post there, Sisi. I've been typing that thing for JK in bits since yesterday.

To your questions.

It was another woman that was killed from an insulin overdose. She wanted to see if her husband was faking his amnesia to cheat the insurance company and to what lengths he'd go to keep on faking. Turned out he'd go to lengths that'd kill her cuz he wasn't faking. She died outta love and a desire for her husband who was lost and replaced by a shell of sorts.

Yes. The wife was violated and murdered.

Yes. There is a John G and that is Teddy's real name. He framed Teddy when he decided he'd have to kill someone if he'll die happy and Teddy would do for that purpose.

Teddy was a friend and was totally innocent. In fact, Teddy was probably his only friend.

Natalie was an evil bitch and she indeed used and deceived him but she didn't really do all that harm to him.

First, it's Memento.

The story itself is not that spectacular but the way it was told is undiluted genius. Even the acting was just sufficient. In fact, almost nothing stands out. But the way the story was told was just very clever. Basically this is what happened: A perfectly normal man got attacked in his house and his wife was killed and he was wounded. His injury results into a new mental condition where he cannot retain subsequent memories. He remembers everything till the attack on him and his wife but any future events can only remain in his memory for a few minutes. This means he can't learn new things or new faces or whatever basically.
Anyways, he is consumed by a terrible urge to kill his wife's killer and that became his sole purpose in life. He sorta teamed up with an undercover cop and one thing led to another and he killed a gangster who had a nice car and a trunk full of money. Both came in handy throughout the film. He, in order to remember people's faces, takes their picture and writes a little caption beneath it, usually with whether or not he can trust them. Also, he tattoos irrefutable facts on his body. Anyways, after a bit of chasing his wife's killer, he realises how long a shot it was gonna be. He then decides to do something very very cowardly. He decides to leave a singular clue that would falsely lead him to think later that his cop friend was the killer. He knew he'd forget his tampering with the facts later. All he wanted was for his pain to cease even though he'd have to kill an innocent person. As long as he had the illusion that he'd avenged his wife, nothing else mattered. Now, this is the clever part. The whole story was told. . . . . . . . . . BACKWARDS. That's what made the film something else. You really have to see it to love it.

Well, you were right Obinna.

Now to Memento. Who has seen Memento?

Well, I've just displayed my extensive knowledge of Nollywood. Cherio!

Idi-Amin, you read me wrong but it doesn't even matter.

I think he's the Nigerian Idris Elba. Loved for the wrong reasons

I gotta say I'm impressed. Atleast this may become incentive for some people up their game. I just hope we don't start bribing each other. The categories make a lotta sense. I'm really impressed.

Electro Magnetic Pulse. Sorry.

Darthmaul. I indeed slept o. The results of the categories that meant the most to me were already known my the world and his mother. But Sisi killed it. Ijaw girl, er, jawed it. Sleek typed fast and drooled over 50 odd year old jugs. Obinna swallowed valium 5000. Vescucci . . . . . to be continued.

The U.K. Box Office top ten

10. Black Swan is at the door but it's enjoyed a long long stay and deservedly so. Adieu.

9. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. I got one word for this film, NEVER! It's 9th on its debut. Apparently many British people are saying NEVER! They got the vaccine to the fever.

8. Just Go With It is going away steadily and is down two places from sixth last week.

7. Tangled is seventh from third last week and it's a bit of a shame. I enjoyed this movie in spite of myself. It no longer features on the US box office but it arrived later in the UK and that's why it's still here.

6. Yogi Bear is sixth, a position lower than fifth last week. There must be something to this film and I'll go see it.

5. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son. Mtschew. Debuting at fifth

4. The British love True Grit more than people in Texas o. Retaining its spot at fourth. Or maybe they're just trying to make it feel better for winning no Oscar at all.

3. The King's Speech is at third place from last week's runner up position and it's moving in slow motion down the charts. I tip it to set a record for the longest stay on the UK top ten. When I think of LOTR or Avatar, I think I'll lose money

2. Gnomeo and Juliet is at number two and down from top spot last week. I must have misjudged this movie. I just don't like the idea. Might turn out to be fun

1. Paul, a sci-fi comedy with the abominable Seth Rogen among its cast. The story sounds silly but that's what many successful comedies are made of, silly stories. It's numero uno in the UK and nowhere to be found in the US. Don't look at me, I only shot the sheriff and that's all.
