How could he betray me for an anorexic Brit? chiwetel ejiofor Well i have a theory genevieve nnaji What do you mean? chiwetel ejiofor I mean you were given this irrelevant role because your beauty is overrated, your talent is generic and your hair style makes you look like a match stick genevieve nnaji chiwetel you insult me? chiwetel ejiofor Then the truth is now an insult thandie newton Hey chiwetel you owe her an apology chiwetel ejiofor I owe her............ ew! Gross what happened to you? But Biyi said you just recovered from malaria and you were ready to shoot one today thandie newton I'm fine i'm just in mourning because my aunty died chiwetel ejiofor O_o so the image of Nollywood mourning scenes is no longer a woman in black clothes with messed up hair sitting on a stool with a ton of extras/sympathizers surrounding her and going God giveth and God taketh? nice one Nollywood narrator ojukwu odumegwu meets with yakubu gowon yakubu gowon Hello there odumegwu ojukwu see this one who be your mate? come one prostrate and call me uncle you this small boy yakubu gowon Hey i'm not a kid i was made president for my wisdom and maturity check this out, in order to resolve the ongoing conflict in the country i have decided to DO THE EXACT SAME THING IRONSI DID BUT IN REVERSE to hurt your people ojukwu odumegwu Eh? yakubu gowon And i shall dissolve your power by complicating our nations geo-political zones yea i'm feeling myself ojukwu odumegwu mature!

Nigerians Are you sure this isn't about oil? ojukwu odumegwu/yakubu gowon of course not(noses sprout like pinnochio) Britain We are joining the war so People will shift the blame for the war from us France And we are joining the war because we hate Britain Israel And we are joining the war so we can test our weapons South Africa And we are joining the war because f*ck Nigeria America Yee haw!

Onyeka Onwenu I care about my son so much so i have a suggestion of what he should do at this time of war thandie newton You want him to build a bomb shelter for protection? onyeka onwenu Nope thandie newton You want us to salvage and replant food crops destroyed during the war onyeka onwenu What?

Sleekyshuga:It's very good. One time,towards the end of the book, I thought I was reading her life story. But sha, since she didn't snatch someone's husband, it's just a fictional story. |
Re: Swing And A Miss: Half Of A Yellow Sun by Sleekyshuga(f): 10:07pm On May 28, 2015 |
Vivly:Already sounding interesting. I'll read it up immediately after exams.. Sup with your diary? Why the pause ? |
Re: Swing And A Miss: Half Of A Yellow Sun by Vivly(f): 2:19am On May 29, 2015 |
Sleekyshuga:All the best in your exams. About that, I got bored. Maybe when something huge happens, I'll write. |
Re: Swing And A Miss: Half Of A Yellow Sun by Vivly(f): 2:37am On May 29, 2015 |
shockwave91:true o. Almost everyone I know yaps on and on about 30 days. It's just a normal Nollywood movie where Nigerians go abroad and start acting like its another planet. Well apart from the 'your real dad part'. I still use that phrase. |
Re: Swing And A Miss: Half Of A Yellow Sun by Nobody: 5:00pm On May 29, 2015 |
Vivly:lol. "ur real dad" indeed. Even dat taxi driver dat obtained them was quite funny. But yeah dat movie is just utter trash. I couldn't blive my eyes. As u, every1 was just yapping about the dogsh*t movie & i broke d cd after watching it. Thin plot, sh*tty screenplay, horrible acting, poor production values, it looked like a poorly made episode of super story, & was miserable @ trying to get u to laff. It was really dogsh*t. |

I ended the movie with a good old fashioned "cliffhanger" that's how you end a movie Audience Yea every character in the movie ends up successful and the most unlikeable characters were either killed or displaced, no cliffhanging there , by the way what is the lesson of this 1hour 55 f*cking minute story? BFI Oh come on haven't you gotten a hint? The lesson is that black people are selfish, ignorant,jealous and lazy people who aren't ready to rule themselves now give your country back to the queen Audience never BFI neo colonialism rain check? Audience you got yourself a deal! End 2 Likes |

Re: Swing And A Miss: Half Of A Yellow Sun by VillageBoi(m): 5:45am On May 31, 2015 |
severee: You're welcome. Was it a poor film? YES. Would I say 'hate'? NO. They messed up; not the first film to do that... more sad for them because it had a lot of promise (especially for Nigeria & Nigerian filmaking)... but hey; it's what you get when you pair a greenhorn director with a book that's way too big for him to decipher. Now the 'comedy' version... I can't stop chuckling. |
