Hollywood is definitely going through retrogression. It seems to be heading down to the level of Nollywood, for they seem not to be able to produce great movies these days without the infusion of magic.

Infusion of magic?

TBH, I think the problem is that everyone wants to be a movie star/director; and get quick cash. No one is putting in adequate work anymore. Though, there are still some recent great movies.

Are you speaking from experience as someone who knows what happens behind the scenes?

Just an observation. I imagine that as the cause of abundance of poor plots in this recent generation of film-making. Just a personal theory.

I also think they're running out original story lines. I can't watch a 2hr hollywood movie without getting bored.

I meant there's hardly a good movie these days without portraying some kinda magic.

Let's poke holes in that theory.

1. An abundance of poor plots could be caused by a saturated market of plots. There is not much new ideas anymore. So many plots have been written

2. An abundance of poor plots could be a balance or a result of having more movies made now than were ever made in the 80s or 90s. More movies today means more good ones and also more bad ones.

3. An actor who wants too much money will always be replaced by the market. Jared Leto is not the only person that can play the joker.

4. Movies are a financial risk. A big budget movie could lose millions of dollars. This is also why film companies are very cautious with scripts.

5. Indie movies take a more artistic style since they are not too much of a risk with lower budgets.


What do you think?

Are you confusing Nollywood for Hollywood?

I can easily pull 5 big Hollywood movies from my head with no magic

1. Joker

2. 12 years a slave

3. Triple frontier

4. Queen and Slim

5. The hangover

The question we should ask the man is what genre of movie is he watching

Aside from joker, all these are probably low budget movies. 12 years a slave try small but still low budget

Hello Guys,

Why is my torrent so slow?

Runs in the region of 225kb/s and thats when its happy.

I use spectranet and my direct downloads are usually around 900kb/s

I thought torrents are super fast.
Any solutions?

Why waste your time on torrent when Telegram has best one click fast download servers ?

MacCantStopMe:



There are many factors.

1. The amount of seeders and leechers (people sharing and downloading) on the torrent.

2. Your internet connection.

3. Quality of the torrents.

Just once click ...that's all

Perhaps. I wish I had the strength a compile a list

u are not far from d truth

A Walk in the Clouds 1996 ---- 7/10

Mushy stuff from Keanu Reeves.

Learnt something about grapevines and the mexican culture.

And that lead actress - aitana sanchez gijon, she's so good I wonder why she never became a leading actress in Hollywood.

Great watch

Afobear:

interesting....

DrDax:
The Incredible Hulk----- 5/10

I wasn't really thrilled.

Maybe the recollection that Edward Norton was this Hulk.

Very underwhelming performance.

Or maybe I'm just biased towards Mark Ruffalo.

Does anyone know why Edward Norton left the franchise? I'm glad he did though.

how was this masterpiece underwhelming
Edward Norton left at his own loss

Moneyboyz:


Jesus, I give up on you my dear, you are beyond redemption.

yes, I can't be brought down from my higher level of thinking

DrDax:
Iron Man (May 2008) --- 8/10

Now that's a thrill.

So, how come Terrence Howard left the franchise? I kind of prefer him to Don Cheadle.
Don Cheadle not bad though.

I am really enjoying this MCU re-cap.

Next is Iron Man 2.




update:

[s]Turns out RDJ is as much a Dic.k in real life as he was as Tony Stark!
In Terrence Howard's own words:

"“It turns out that the person that I helped become Iron Man, when it was time to re-up for the second one, took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out,” Howard said.

“We did a three-picture deal. That means you did the deal ahead of time—a certain amount for the first one, a certain amount for the second, a certain amount for the third. They came to me with the second and said ‘look, we will pay you one-eighth of what we contractually had for you, because we think the second one will be successful with or without you.’ And I called my friend, that I helped get the first job, and he didn’t call me back for three months,” Howard added.

sheeeesh![/s]

fake news

Beyond the woods 4.5/10
Way too much chit chat between a group of people you don't really care about. Pretty much nothing happens until the last 20 minutes where it all gets a bit silly.

henrydadon:

Thanks. But I can't afford to torrent. I need a simple download link.

I can't post the link or else I will be banned

Nickshrapnel:
DrDrax, Terrence Howard wanted more money, I think as much as that of RDJ, so he was replaced. Norton hated the role of Bruce Banner(I think that's why he left) or he does not want a multiple movie contract

imagine, he wanted the same money as RDJ. Does he think marvel is made up of low level thinkers.
Thank God this guy left and MCU remains the greatest of all time.

thank you. I m seeing more high level thinkers.
Only marvel, Disney and Christopher Nolan are more quality movies now. The rest are trash

very correct. People like DC just want to make fast money without going through the stages MCU passed.
2019 had few great movies . You can see the trashy movies that were winning Oscars.
