Lots of singing and dancing and magical interactions for children.

Regular snooze fest. Dozed through most of the movie but the kids loved it.

They've come again with their exaggerations.....

BlackManta:


Mind you.. A great movie like Logan did not get a golden globe nomination during it's time.

These awards are sometimes used as tools for political correctness and SJW's.

A movie like Moonlight got undue got undue recognition just to pander to the LGBT populace in America.

So why should I celebrate BP's nomination
Is it because I'm black... Nah!

Most people agree that the movie is overrated.
It's not even one of the best 10 movies of the year to start with.

JeromeBlack:



Lol, so Black panther is not in the top 10 movies of the year?!! See what happens when you feel too smart?


If you google "top 10 movies of 2018" on your laptop, the first movie that is pictured is actually Black Panther (followed by Avengers).

BlackManta:


If you google top ten movies of 2017.
You will see The Last Jedi

JeromeBlack:



Last Jedi is 20th on google search.

Stop trying to be too smart for your own good.

I'm happy that you guys are having such debates. This is what moves this thread.

That being said, Thanos's motivation or conviction is logically sound.

In economics, there is a popular economic theory called Malthusianism. Malthusianism (from Thomas Malthus) is the idea that population growth is potentially exponential while the growth of the food supply is linear. This simply means that population will always outgrow food supply at a certain point in time.

The consequence of this theory is that there has to be population control or our resources will be overwhelmed. There are many economists (neo-malthusians) who subscribe to this idea and they believe that there should be controls on the population such as birth control.


In short, Thanos is the product of an extreme mathulsian method of thinking- instead of birth control, just kill some of the population.


Thanos's thinking is well grounded in reality. I find his convictions not to be unrealistic.




And to those who are claiming that Thanos also wiped out animals and plants, you are forgetting that we have enough food in the world for everybody. Halving the population and the animals and plants would not make the matters worse. In fact, it would actually prolong the inevitable food shortage for many many years-- because it would take the world's population about 45 years to first repopulate from the "halving" and then many more years to outrun food production.

I quite agree with you on some aspect of the bolded, but you fail to grasp the immediate effect of what Thanos did, if you go through my earlier post, you'll see that the possibility of earth repopulating from its' halved state in the next 45years, is totally impracticable.

Thanos thinking wasn't anywhere grounded in reality he was only trying to prove a point to himself that his methods was right, without sitting down to critically analyze the results of his actions. He thus complicated matters, what of the ultra- rich who survived the snap, they'll eventually become richer or were you expecting them to become more charitable in the ensuing panic??.. Resources was never & will never be evenly distributed, take note.

If half of the economy just vanished, demand for most goods and services just instantly plummets except crisis management, demand will certainly go through the roof, while supply will fall drastically, most essential commodities will assume luxury goods & many of the proletariat will not survive. How does a global economy survive such shocks?

BlackManta:


Last Jedi is 10th in top 10.

JeromeBlack:
Bumblebee

8/10

This is another great movie. A transformer movie where they focused on character development. You cannot help but fall in love with the main character and Bumblebee himself.

I also like the nonstalgia from the 80s music. These are tears from reminiscing my youth.....

JeromeBlack:



War and suffering must always come before peace.

Europe survived the Black plague.

What you even fail to grasp is that there are people in real life who actually believe in culling the herd to save resources. We call them psychopaths. There are people who want the whole of Northern Nigeria to be annihilated for the progress of Nigeria. Hitler wanted to exterminate Jews.

If Thanos plan did not have a flaw, then he would be the saviour of the universe- a good guy. It is the flaw that makes it evil. The plan is realistic for a bad guy

oyaskii:
Calm down and rate properly o..The movie in this franchise was garb....should have ended with Dark of the moon.

mekaprime:

8/10

Aquaman

8/10


For once, DC did not f4ck up. This is a great movie. It is visually appealing. There is beautiful action. There is good music (background/soundtrack).


Although, I have problems with the pacing. Things moved a bit too quickly.


I also had another problem. The costumes for the Queen and princess were too hot and skintight. I was almost regretting that I did not carry vaseline into the cinema hall.

MJBOLT:

8/10

yes, the movie cannot be that good unless you disagree with the critics

JeromeBlack:


Nigga, you don start again?

You that even like the film more than me . You have a problem with 8/10 rating?
