This guy's ability to top films and franchises, indie cult classics, and then top directors needs to be studied.

His agent is doing a stellar job.
An ultimate comeback of all time quality. From Sparkly Vampire to Vengeance Batman and to the biggest director in the game presently. Man.....get you an agent this good in your life!! 👌🏽😎

If he actually cared about the headlights, he could have been on blockbusters upon blockbusters because he is an exceptionally talented actor.


But his career trajectory is the funniest, basically started at the "Top" starring as Edward Cullen and a major role in one of the most profitable franchises ever. So his net worth is near 100M greens based off the aforementioned, so money isn't really an issue for him, so he felt the need to "step down" for artistic growth, hence more stint with indie projects, except an exceptional blockbuster script comes his way, and i don't think there are many actors currently who would say no to OG Christopher Nolan 👌🏿

To be fair it happens to white people too - it happened to mel gibson. man was on ice for like 10 years plus

there are a mix of variables and it is not clear. chris brown beat rihanna and was cancelled for like 5 years. but dr dre beat up dee barnes and got away with it. mark wahlberg literally blinded a guy in his youth and escaped. kramer of seinfield went on a racist tirade and got cancelled. will smith slapped chris rock on live tv and seems to have gotten away with it.

Take a pen and take a stat of these instances and i am near certain, people of color would be more at the end of this stick of cancel culture, and it doesn't even need to be a major infraction before they come for the person...

They announced Kevin Hart as the host of the Oscars, and cancel mob unearthed an harmless tweet, he made years ago, twisted it out of context, till he had to quit the gigg, which could have been the biggest of his career, lost over a simple tweet. Donald Trump has multiple court cases, tweeted that red necks should match on the capitol to retrieve their stolen mandate, and yet, he is a 2 time president 😩😩

The way Jonathan Majors career went with a puff is still a shocker to me. And yes, just like you've speculated, it's linked to his skin colour.
Ain't no way things remain the same if he was white.

Look at Gina Carano. Person wey no even get talent sef dem still get people wey dey am. Mel Gibson of today still has and people defending him. Even Celebs.

And that's why I like Kanye's no frills nonchalant attitude. See the way Adidas take sharply blacklist am.... funny enough he's the person with the biggest contribution to the brand. And them no reason am reach few days sef before dem take action. That action messed up their financials that year.

As for the Black Race ever getting sense..... I seriously doubt that. Not in my lifetime sef cos mugus overpopulate our community and can't see the bigger picture. Division will surely continue. Black people have this myopic mindset to things and always live for the now. Put a Black man in a place of power and the next thing he's thinking of is how to oppress others or revenge against those who have wronged him in the past.
Look no further than Barack Obama.

Bruh, sometimes I wish I was Indian. If God wan put me for third world country at least make he put me for serious people that knows their history and working to rewrite it.
India in the next two decades will be untouchable just like Israel and only have China to contend with.
Look at many CEOs of top Fortune 500 companies, you see Indians placing themselves in spheres of power. They're discreetly following the Jewish template. When they start creating and managing Hedge Funds, Assets Management that's when the full world control kicks off.

Bruhhh.... Blacks dey even discriminate against other blacks....like Black Americans say na dem be the original blacks, Blacks in S.A no wan take eye see Nigerians, say we dey take their work and flex their women 😩😩.

See we are never making it out of the hood 😮‍💨

JayVicky:

Is it just a "black" thing though? JK Rowland was able to come back not just because of her skin color but because she holds far more influence than Jonathan Majors. Influence that was built through years of hard work and pure talent.
While I do agree with your point about blacks being held to different standards than whites sometimes, I just think it's a little bit unfair and simplistic to say that it's just because of their races.
Also, you have to consider the nature of the controversy. JK Rowling got into trouble due to her ideological stance while Jonathan Majors faced criminal allegations. One is easier to bounce back from than the other.

I know it seems superficial to whittle it down to just "race", but here is a clear context...

Jonathan Majors was casted as a main villain in our of the most successful franchises in cinema history, like they were going to make movies and series based off his character, and if you don't think, and you don't think talent got him there?

I am not saying, he's on the scale of J.K. Rowling, but his career trajectory was the brightest that it could have been, and to lose it over a misdemeanour charge in the 3rd degree??, there is no way the outcome isn't different if he was white...no way.

oyaskii:
Lmaoo....HBO aren't trying to lose a generational bag like this, just because J.K Rowling is strongly opointed 😩🫣😂.

Pretty sure Harry Potter is up there among the most bankable IPs this side of the century and as such she can do and say whatever the F she wants with little or no blow back...

The mob can try, but you can't cancel a generational talent like this, most especially when said talent is caucasian....😮‍💨

RE:

Thinking about this again and I can't help but think her being white had a major hand

I how Jonathan Majors' career was headed for the very top after Lovecraft Country, like he was supposed to herald an era of young black leads, to replace Denzel, Cheadle and the likes, and how it all crash landed after those allegations, that was basically reduce to a misdemeanour in the 3rd degree, and yet his career is basically like precum, a total full stop...and no important black figure has spoken out in , for fear of been blacklisted..... sickening.

I think it would have been a far different outcome, if he was from Caucasus Mountains. I didn't use to believe it before, but as a black man, you will need to work x4 than people of other races, and pray you don't trip, cuz there is no coming back after that....talent is not just enough as a black person.

And Black people sef, we are so disunited, no other races is taking us seriously, the way we are. Just look at how the Jews people after the Holocaust, decided to be united across the world and occupy the upper echelons of world power, and since then, nobody messes with them.... Israel is damn near commiting a genocide and a systemic ethnic cleansing, and the whole western world is turning a blind eye.... just a food for thought....

Sorry for the political digress....but we as black have to do better, we have to start pulling our weight in this world....😞

go for the real certified nerd show

They don't make them like this anymore, do they?

I grabbed the entire seasonal pack of this, awhile back, so i will eventually get to it, once my plate is empty 😬😅.

and sitcoms and comedy shows, are easy peasy binges, 21minutes tops per episode, no over complicated plot lines... way way easy to sit through.

[quote author=JayVicky post=132968134][/quote] Howard Joel Wolowitz 😅....His character is more grounded and not pretentious...from what i have seen thus far...

The Big Bang Theory - S2 (08 - 09)

It's starting to hit that sweet spot...


While still mulling over whether to watch The Office (US) final season (because I just can't bear to see it end 😭), I decided to hop back onto this.

My main issue with Season 1 was that the jokes and good episodes weren't consistent, making it feel like a bit of a chore to get through. However, it seems they've solved that problem in Season 2. The characters feel fully developed now, and all the humor and charm that make up a good sitcom are firmly in place.

Perhaps I was too hasty in judging Season 1. Sitcoms rarely have a strong start, Season 1 is usually a free hit, where the writers establish the base for their characters. It's often in Season 2 that things really kick off. I mean, imagine if I had abandoned Parks and Recreation after that disastrous Season 1? The show became unrecognizable from Season 2 onward, with a sharp increase in quality, eventually becoming one of my favorite sitcoms ever.

So, I'm sticking with this atm as it has all the potential to be an all-timer for me. On to Season 3! 🌱

7/10

As a body horror enthusiast, I can certainly say that 'The Substance' is a top ten contender for 2024. Objectively, it isn't for everyone. It will not get an Oscar recognition due to its graphic nature and niche classification, but it is the type of film that a cinefile will always respect for the script's sheer chutzpah. The writers clearly enjoyed putting everything together.

I'm not going to make pretentious statements like it's incredibly profound or very meaningful... I don't care about any of it; what I do appreciate is the disgustingly brilliant graphic sequences and the mesmerising lunacy of the third act.

We need more films like this.

First off, where the hell have you been maaan? 😩


Secondly, was it a good film? objectively to me, yes, but it is one of those arthouse films i just see and keep shut about it and absolutely would not recommend it to just about anybody, reason being that, it requires a very rare taste to enjoy....

The message in the film is a very important one, and should have taken more prominence than the grotesque fest that clouded the third act of the film.

So in essence, this holds appreciable replay value for those that are fan of body horror, and there aren't many of those, are they?.

JayVicky:

Well, straight guys don't go around kissing other guys. I mean, surely he could have found another way of gaining access into that venue.

They are literally adapting a book, in which the character was hinted at been gay to evade or gain advantage doing the job he does.

So the show runners didn't just spring it up from nowhere to suit a certain perceived agenda, they are actually trying to stay true to the source material.

I don't know how far back your film and show history goes, but they were actually gay characters in oldies alot, like a whole lot, one of HBO's best show ever and quite frankly a consensus all time fave of many people, Six Feet Under, had prominent gay characters, way back as 2001!. It didn't use to bother anybody then, because it wasn't slapped on just about any media like it is today.

But then again, they had no voice then, and like every facet of human history, they feel they have a voice now, and they need to be heard. You are well within your rights to be totally vexed seeing same sex relationships in media, but if i was chronic betting man, my money would be on you been mad, at like 70% of shows and movies, out, moving forward, especially from tamed conservative places like Hollywood and the British.

Achilles100:


I have ed 6 today. Just went to count them to be sure. I think 6 is the max for me.

Be like na plan you dey 😂😂😂😂

pu7pl3:


Are you sure it's just 4? Cos I've ed 5 already

You see, the site just make up rules as the day goes without prior notice, been on here 10 years plus and still haven't still gotten the hang of it....it limits me to 4 most of the time.

Achilles100:


Be like say dem don ban me from posting images. Wetin happen, I can't post images again.

4 images per day or so...get an image combiner app lol...clocked this some weeks ago, i wanted to spam images, after 4, Seun said "Hol up, Hol up", mumu me thought it was a glitch, logged into one of my alternate, and tried again, and it went fian.....see i can never fully understand the workings of this site... uncanny 😂😩

[quote author=pu7pl3 post=132933491][/quote] The song playing as she marched to her untimely (timely ?💀😩) supposed death was a bop tho.... The music department was on crack this season 🙌🏾

Achilles100:
So nobody watched Dune? this one wey everywhere quiet.

I went to the Office thinking i was gonna cop this in the finest quality, was in a meeting all day and i totally blanked on it fgs

Omooo...too many good content out this period, how many shows i go follow like this?? 😩😩....might just let this marinate and binge when it finish airing, unless it totally bangs from the get go, and get high praises.

Kaycee7:
Make I no too talk. We're in the endgame now 😤

They have 3 episodes to deliver all these madness.... so many plotlines to tie.....impeccable weight on the shoulders of the showrunners maaannn, i envy them not

Kaycee7:
We're huffing unhealthy levels of hopium here but there are a few theories that hint that she's not or won't stay dead

lol I have actually just gone to see that last scene again, and it had insane "Burial gbedu" vibes with all the memoriam montage interloping....so it's highly unlikely she survives 👀 💀😩.

I will actually be shocked at this point if she comes out of that unscathed, the ambiguous ending was such to tease more but lil sis is most likely be unalived 😩 cc Achilles100

Fave Line from the latest episodes......Unc Singed was too real for this fire quote 😩🔥

LifestyleTonite:

To hell with The Jackal.

The idiotic directors had to throw in the LGBTQ towel. To think I was hailing the show a few days ago after they released the first five episodes.

I didn't know that they wanted people to get sucked in before they introduced the sodomy plot in the 6th episode.

I don't care if the show later becomes bigger than Game of Thrones. I'm don't with it

Mtchew

I am guessing you didn't see GOT too, cuz that had said content too 👀💀

To each, with it's own resolve but at this rate, you are only gonna be seeing like 3 or 4 shows per year 😩..... and also you might actually need to avoid American, British, or all of Western shows altogether.

Achilles100:


While I've read your post, how small the fonts are of the screenshots, I ain't reading all that. That said,

I was surprised that the writers recalling Vander, when I first saw the different colored eyeballs I initially thought Silco until he called her Powder.

Secondly I think Vander's 'recall', if anything was to unite the sisters together, as they have drifted apart. Since Jinx is already a street icon, with Vi on her side, they will take on topside.

Yes, Isha killed Vander but everything started with the death of Victor by a topsider Jayce.

In beginning of the 6th episode, there was a conversation between Sky and Victor, and I think(I dont know for certain ) that the Jayce that came out of the wild rune
1. Is another version of Jayce.
2. Is controlled by the wild rune.

Also, while Isha isn't attached to the main story, there are 'mini' characters that fans are generally gravitate towards. So it isn't far fetched this her death(shey na boy Abi na girl Isha be sef?) brings out emotions.

Is it confirmed that she died, cuz the episode ended on that cliff hanger and they didn't explicitly implied that fact....

But also, cba about her perceived death tbh, the fleshing of her character arc is so short for me to get that attached 🤷🏿‍♂️, if for anything, her death will enrage Jinx more, and make things more spicy, and not some family reunion lovey dovey final 3 episodes.

Yeah, I love the close ups and the judicious use of fish eye lens....Especially when they're showing that werey Kelvin Cline and his big mouth. He's the biggest douchebag on-screen I've seen.

Demi Moore performance in the film was top notch but I'm still indifferent about it being an Oscar performance. Dunno...maybe cos the film isn't amongst my favourite films of the year and doesn't check all the box for me.
Or I probably went it with all the hype and it didn't match my expectations. Still a good movie nevertheless.

lol yeah the hype didn't match my huge expectations. After the long standing ovation at cannes, i went deep, like really really deep, to search for a clear copy before the official release, just to see it for myself, and ended up getting off a Portuguese pirate, that usually, some how gets his hands on advance copy of films that screen at film festivals, and at an over bloated file size.

Well, if i ever get around to make a top 10 best films i saw this year, i very much doubt, it will make the cut cuz am pretty sure i have seen 10 better films than it, or even more...still yet to even seen the popular releases like Anora and the likes...so

what browser do you use?

there are two tools

one is ublock origin. though google have taken a serious dark side turn and ublock origin will not work in chrome
the other tool is not an adblocker, but a script blocker

noscript is the most popular,

these are both browser addons

for android phones - get adguard the app. you however need a subscription for this

What is it the same adguard i have on the screenshot below??


Well I don't think adguard is even enough for sites like Psarips and Pahe. Back when i use to actively use those sites, i used to have a chrome extension that by link shortener, that just skip those ridiculous countdowns and takes me directly to the links, adguard is just secondary.

Anyway, these ads and link shorteners, are how these guys maintain these sites, so i just go through the pain every once in a while to get a link, considering the stellar services they offer...I mean, not that these guys are making so much off these services. Dr.XJ, one half of the guys that encode on Psarips, is just an undergrad med student, still finding his way in life, and depends heavily on proceeds from PSarips to function properly irl lol 😩😅

JayVicky:

This is the list of shows I'm currently following. Although, I might drop Tulsa King cos I don't find it as interesting as I used to anymore.

How the hell did Tulsa King even get a S2? A 80s and 90s star like Sylvester Stallone being a mob muscle in a recent show? The S1 looked so silly, cringe and unbelievable to me. Big unc Stallone is pushing 80 and i am so sorry, these are not the kind of roles for him anymore 😩. So imagine my shock when i saw they flipped a S2....well, the ratings are still crazy high, probably from nostalgia tax of Big unc Stallone, but ejó....i am not there abeg fgss

abduleez1:
The Substance.....8/10

The movie has so much buzz but the Academy might ignore this one.

The film dealt with a very important topic, but i felt they dealt the topic too soon, and after the 1st act, it became narratively and thematically dead, and they just filled in the blanks, with repeated bizarre content that became so cumbersome to sit, considering the movie had a ridiculous run time of 2hrs plus.

But I can't fault the performances of the lead, one of my faves this year plus the cinematography was just magic..The close up shots and fish eye lens were just top work, and it will totally eat in this category during the award season.

Just to note....i love how satirical pieces like this, mirror real life in the most humorous way because Demi Moore is 61 irl, and she's still a total beaut, but apparently not pretty enough for showbiz just to lay bare the ridiculous arbitrary beauty standards women are held to...👀

Baddestguyp:


Having a family is nowhere near his biggest mistake.

He's been making loads of mistakes since the last job ended.

1. He should never meet a client face to face, no matter the amount, much less let them know where he is staying...

2. He had no reason to perform the revenge kill from close range. That's way too much risk just to send his message. He could have done it long range.

3. His plan for his latest assassination is a close range kill which again puts him at severe risk

4. Meeting Norman face to face was a severe risk. Even living with him for a day. Yes he needed the gun since Norman was injured and Norman couldn't make one by himself, but certainly Norman would have 1 or 2 s he could call...

5. Having all that secret room in his family house. It was bound to be discovered someday. He could have gotten a ranch or building somewhere to keep those.

He's a professional but he has taken way too much risk with this job and he has had his face revealed to quite a number of people.

Considering he was a member of the army, his face is in the database so he should never have revealed his face on any .

He's been in disguise most of the time he meets other people No?.

The Norman Stoke character is presented as a loner, and possess a that unique particular skill of making bespoke guns, and i doubt the Jackal would have found anyone to make his gun, giving the timeframe of the job delivery, so that whole scene going to help him, is very plausible.

Him having a wife, and a whole family, is where i fault, doesn't look too water tight in of writing, but i need to see the whole show, to get the hang of that, but the "secret room" was just full of props for his disguises, no guns, no ammo...., sure a secret room raises questions, but again he can plausible deny, and just give a random explanation which i think he has already done.

Calibrator:
Of all people to owe money, who in their right mind will chose to default on monetary obligations to a professional hitman?

See the thing muzz me 😩😩😭.....like he was going to come into millions in inheritance, after the action of said Hitman, and he still refused pay the "Hitman"? The Jackal took it personally and did the needful tf 💀😅

joseph1832:
This is so like a reflection of Nigeria, all the promises Scar made, how many did he fulfil? He was more interested in ruling than being a leader.

It's exactly the situation in 2015, when APC promised to make 1$ = to 1=N= look how that worked out. Lol

The onus was on the Hyenas to know better? No 👀👀.

Scar just wanted to be king, his raggedy aṣṣ was never fulfilling all the things he was blabbing about in "Be Prepared" 💀😩

Same playbook APC and PMB used in 2015. 1 American green to 1 Naira, Nation wide 24 hrs power supply...these were some wide takes that they had no plans of ever fulfilling, and gullible Nigerians ran with it, and are still running with it, till this day, to a point the country is almost a one party state...smh..

Just fear smooth talkers, they get away with almost anything when dealing with the gullible.👀

Kaycee7:
I love to see Chiwetel in the cast of a movie I'm watching but I knew even he could not top what Jeremy Irons did with Scar in the animated. Bro completely understood and delivered the assignment

Still yet to see "The Lion King" (2019) but there are some all timer roles, you see, and just know no one is ever replicating it.

When i think of Scar, i immediately envision Jeremy Irons' voice... that's how iconic it was

I was randomly going through YT, and i bumped into this, and i clocked that, Scar totally cooked with "Be Prepared" 😩😩.


"It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares"

Like what the hell? Brother Scar was a visionary and a damn good poet fgs 😩


Them Hyenas better than me, I would have be at the front line after the first verse, to topple Mufasa.


Scar is such an Iconic Disney villain, the devilish aura was off the charts 😬

New Silo
New Bad Sisters
New Cross
New The Day of the Jackal

And new Arcane tomorrow?

This weekend about to be an unprecedented feasting, Gents and ladies 😩😩🔥
