It is not everything that should be action, action, action. Why not dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue?

K-drama is for effeminate boys
Telenova is for simps
Anime is for mastuuurb8ing boys
Super hero movies are for weaklings with inflated ego
Dialogue movies are for MEN

Catch your sub cool
Sorry if I sound like I'm insulting you but this your post is childish and we know you watch super hero movies and what is wrong with k-drama?

I watched 4/5, Telenova is out but saying men that watch k-drama is effeminate is the most useless things in your post and I understand many people don't like anime but insulting us is childish

Watch sky castle and tell me if K-drama is for effeminate boys,

Now what will you call men that watch Dialogue anime?

Those shows evoke emotions and lead to the release of dopamine. Men don't need such because it weakens them.

I do understand that we sometimes stumble on such content and watch. But always fixating on such genre is an indication that there is something going on in your life.

Why would any human be fixated on horror genre? Are you trying to attract demonic entities? Why would a man love watching K-drama and Telenovela where men cry because of girls? Do you think girls respect crying men in real life?

Put two TVs beside each. Have one showing Django Unchained and have the other showing Anime. Put a 7-year-old before the TV's and tell me which one will catch his attention. Sadly, grown folks are fixated on Anime like kids.

Look, I'm not against watching such movies. What I'm against is the addiction, which indicates something wrong going on, hence my points on those genres.

Your dialogue base movies or whatever you want to call it causes release of dopamine.

Dopamine is an essential neurotransmiter, if you nor get am to even eat or breath will be a problem. I am very sure you heard this nonsense from one mumu red pill influencer and you just dey regurgitate am.

Learn to do a little bit of research abeg. This is just sad to read. Its just like saying men don't need oxygen it weekens them.

Is Tate a manly man?

Manly men don't boast about material possessions. That cancels out Tate.

We've told anime lovers several times to post their stuff in the anime thread. Sadly, they keep bringing it here and forcing it down our throat. That is derailing.

The meaning of MOVIE is a recording of moving images that tells a story and that people watch on a screen or television

Conclave is not for certain people, especially Anime and Arcane kind of guys. The movie deserves a 10/10 because of the strong dialogue, character development and story-telling.

It reminds me of The Hateful Eight by Quentin Tarantino which I tried watching when it got released. I found it boring and so I quit right after the first 20 minutes. I my elder brother telling me that the movie is interesting. Just last week, I finally saw it after almost a decade. Boy, was I blown away?

Maturity made me like The Hateful Eight and it is that same maturity that made me like Conclave. I guess anime and video game-loving boys won't follow.

It is not everything that should be action, action, action. Why not dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue?

Conclave is what men watch. Arcane is what men who failed to put away childish things watch.

K-drama is for effeminate boys
Telenova is for simps
Anime is for mastuuurb8ing boys
Super hero movies are for weaklings with inflated ego
Dialogue movies are for MEN

What are dialogue movies exactly?
For the 20+ years I have been watching movies, I've never come across a genre of movie called dialogue movies

Dialogue is merely a part of device used in movies and almost every movie uses dialogue to tell it's story.

And btw you sound like an ignorant prĂźck who simply generalizes based on ignorant preconceptions

The bolded is one of the most stûpid things I've ever read...

If we go into in-depth analysis on character writing, themes of shows, symbolism and visual storytelling of movies/series...

Most of these clĂŽwns generalizing and calling people immature can't keep up...

A person who cannot distinguish good writing from poor writing somehow thinks he has standards on what form of media is mature and what is immature.

They think they are mature and more knowledgeable just because they seclude themselves from certain forms of media...

Choosing to avoid Korean media or anime doesn't make you mature...neither does looking down on people who watch same...

It is not maturity, it is plain and simple ignorance.

Making stûpid preconceptions about a form of media you don't watch is like a blind man arguing about the color of the sky...

They are simply ignorant...plain and simple


For instance, I don't watch/read visual novels and you won't see me criticize same because only a fĂŽol criticizes something he knows nothing about

Dialogue exists in every movie, but some are heavy on it.

Those heavy on dialogue have dialogue that are rich in meaning. Every time you watch the movie, you tend to catch new details. The dialogue is not predictable.

Just like The Godfather saying "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." Some other movies will simply put it as "I'll send some men to go beat him up till he submits to my demand."

In dialogue movies, once you don't follow, you won't understand. That's why many snooze on them. They are basically for intelligent people and lack the silly actions of one man beating 50 people up inside a room. Again, don't get me wrong. Some of them do have crazy fight scenes, but that is not their strong point.

Examples are Inglorious Bastards, The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, The Godfather, Reservoir Dogs, Good Fellas, etc.

Funny how the example you used isn't even what I would classify as rich dialogue...
If you think that dialogue you quoted makes you intelligent, sorry...

Again, a movie can have rich dialogue and still have a lot of action, suspense, intrigue etc...

One is not exclusive to the other...

You see many people here and even on the series thread dropping great quotes from different movies, series, anime etc...

You seem to have an issue whereby you see yourself as intelligent for spotting good dialogue in movies...

Meanwhile many others have watched so many movies/series/anime with even better dialogue but don't make much of a fuss around it ...

It takes me a simple conversation with a movie enthusiast to guess how much media literacy a person possesses and trust me you are not anywhere close...

If I check your posts now, I am sure I won't find any constructive review of any movie


Some of the movies or shows you look down on have even far richer dialogue than what you watch. Not only in of deeper meaning of the dialogue but also in foreshadowing...

Rich dialogue and choice of words is also used to convey a character's personality and beliefs...

I have watched shows whereby you can write an entire epistle dissecting a single conversation...
And some of these are the so called anime you look down on...

I will repeat...judging entire mediums you know nothing about does not make you look smart...it makes you look ignorant

Always funny to see not so bright people trying to police others, he really thought he was dishing out something sensible.

I went on a dopamine fast for one week, and while it helped with self control and discipline, it also induced depression.

I don't know if it's the same scene you're talking about but yes, there was a particular jumpscare scene that actually took me out. grin I was expecting it but the shĂŻt overly delivered and made my heart get a little skip. grin grin That scene where she went to see the drug dealer. The moment the werey was running out of the room when he went to bring the stash, after he got possessed. That scene was gold.

Do you know that the actor was Jack Nicholson's son?? grin grin

Arcane season 1: Once in a lifetime Legendary Masterpiece.
Arcane season 2: Once in a lifetime Legendary Masterpiece.

Every single image, I mean every single clip from these animations, was brilliantly done. Don't get me started with the soundtrack and background music. Demi-gods came together to put these work of arts together---no doubt about it!

I, KK, pronounce Arcane as one of the greatest Animations produced in the west!

Every metric you can think of scores a solid 100/10.


I can't be the only one struggling with the season two ...

The season one was alot better...

You still need more maturity in of movies rating then.

Hateful Eight was a top-notch western genre movie. There was no boring moment. Better storyline than Conclave. Got fascinated by it from the beginning and still had a second watch later. You can't compare the two. And I'm sure it has a better rating than Conclave on all rating site.

Just so you know, Westman01 is not an anime watcher. No matter how highly rated it is. Even if it receive Oscar. I just can't see myself watching animation.

That was funny anyways with how you tag movie watchers in respect to the movies they watch. I'd give you that.

shey you know say movie rating na subjective something?
some people genuinely enjoy dialogue heavy movies, with great atmosphere, acting and cinematography.

Hijack 93

This movie personifies everything that is wrong with the Nigerian movie industry. It is bland, unimaginative, uninspired, and a complete waste of time.

Set in 1993, Hijack 93 fails to transport you to that time period. Without the title explicitly telling you the year, you'd never guess it. The costumes, the buildings, the overall aesthetic—all of it feels modern. It's as if no effort was made to authentically recreate the era. It’s clear that no care was given to any of the finer details.

The acting ranges from dull to downright atrocious. The performances feel forced, and the film never quite comes together to form a coherent story. Plot points are introduced and then completely abandoned without any resolution. The movie feels like it’s going nowhere, and by the end, you’re left wondering what, exactly, you’ve just watched.

Even more frustrating is the film's portrayal of the Nigerian public’s reaction to the events on the aircraft. The way it’s clumsily shoehorned into the narrative constantly had me rolling my eyes. It’s poorly executed and lacks any real emotional depth.

To make matters worse, this is based on a true story. The fact that we can’t even tell it in an engaging or competent way is disappointing. If Hollywood were to step in and produce this, people would likely complain about the accents. But frankly, I’d prefer the accents to be off if it meant the movie was at least technically competent.

Rating: 2/10


Complete shiit of a movie ...
