Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

I honestly don’t see much of a connection between this and its parent series, but I am willing to give this one a chance before I make my final decision. I will state that I have strongly mixed emotions about one of the central themes being the racism and classism against the Latin culture. On the one hand, I think it’s great that they are pinpointing an attitude that has been neglected by the media and history. On the other hand, I don’t want to see this attitude marginalized and accepted as right by modern society. So long as they keep the idea that racism is wrong, then it could be a really good, intense series. For now, I’m waiting for it to pick up, and I’m willing to see where it goes.

Wow! I wasn’t sure if this show could bring the drama, but dang this episode did! That was a very good play at the end. Enjoyable.

Whoever said, “Straight men cannot sing, dance, or act,” has never seen Gene Kelly. This is a classic! Why can’t modern men love like this?

This is my absolute favorite episode of Doctor Who-ever. This is the best.

Joker (2019)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

I just saw this in the theaters. I love Joaquin Phoenix’s work. He’s a fantastic entertainer. He needs to be nominated for an Oscar for this role, but the writing could be improved. His acting is spot-on. It’s weird and sick and twisted and exactly what it needs to be. This movie will play with your mind- a little. Be prepared for nightmares.

The Bible was written thousands of years before the the Quran. It doesn’t mention it.

It explain some of the things happening to him. I’m not sure how much I trust it, but just looking at him he’s had some major issues.

Artemis Fowl (2020)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 3 years ago.

Thank you uploaders. I have been wanting to see this movie, and now that I have I’m disappointed. Disney didn’t do the book justice. This was just action crap. The books are far more intelligent than this. Another miss for Disney’s failing standards.

Strange Magic (2015)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

Clearly based on Shakespear’s, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” this hidden gem is a fantastic tale of goblins, fairies, elves, and a magic potion. It’s great for the entire family. The songs are classics, but they are a little out of place and mis-timed. The colors are beautiful and bright. Overall, worth seeing many times with the entire family. George Lucas does it again.

Has anyone ever considered the precedent (no pun intended) that the former president’s arguments are setting? Look at it like this, “After I embezzled the money, the company fired me, so you cannot give me any criminal consequences because I no longer work for the company.” You could even state, “After I killed the man, I no longer worked for his company, so I can’t have any legal repercussions because he was no longer my employer!” This is what criminals all over the world will be arguing, and there isn’t a judge in America who will be able to counteract it because the Senate trial of the former president is the highest court. Can the Supreme Court counteract if the senators decide to acquit?

Science and Islam (2009) S1 E1
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

I started watching this wanting to agree with the narrator’s premise, but he’s grossly inaccurate. Islam’s not known for it’s compassion (although it thinks it is). The religion known for its compassion is Buddhism. The basic philosophy for Buddhism summed up in a sentence, has always been, “The religion of infinite compassion.” Much of modern mathematics is based on Arabian scholars, but not necessarily Islam and the Quran. Much of what he’s claiming is Islamic is actually pre-Mohammed. Therefore it is Arabian but not Islamic. If you’re new to the field, watch this only for a general idea. If you’re knowledgable in the field, this is riddled with inaccuracies.

What?! You mean you can attempt to kill lawmakers and then expect them to support you? Whatever is wrong with the government, it is affecting both lawmakers and Trump. Here’s my message to Congress, “Lawmakers, do not support the man who tries to kill you and destroy your jobs!” My message to Trump is not fit for the average person to read it.

Islam: The Untold Story (2012)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

This documentary covers an interesting subject matter, but it is slightly incoherent and choppy. There is only a vague train of logic behind it. Additionally, their expert on Islam makes several false claims about both Christianity and Judaism. He clearly hasn’t studied the history of the other two religions and shouldn’t be discussing them.

Is anyone else P.O’ed by the stereotype that a strong, independent fighting woman has to be gay? Why can’t we have a straight, strong, independent fighting woman? I am sick of the stereotype. The few times when we have an independent, straight, fighting woman, most of the time she has to be rescued still by a man. Show a straight woman who can handle herself in a fight. Break that stereotype. I’m not against gays. I’m against stereotyping that all strong, aggressive, fighting women have to be gay.

Did everyone forget that Trump snubbed Pelosi first? Pelosi’s actions were justified because Trump has never maintained one aspect of the Constitution, and his speech was a lie.

Forged in Fire (2015)
nikkimckelvy 1 points 5 years ago.

I really like this show, but I really wish they would do an episode on forging weapons for ladies. In the Middle Ages in Europe and the Middle East women would have beautiful daggers made (gold and gemstones) and in Japan, female assassins would use the Japanese fans to kill their targets. I don’t think one episode geared towards women’s uses of daggers, knives, swords, and fans would go amiss.

Into the Badlands (2015)
nikkimckelvy 1 points 5 years ago.

I’m sad to see this one go. I was hoping for something like Journey to the West meets GOT after the first season. I wanted more intensive plots and intrigue as well as the fighting, but it never materialized. I liked this one anyway. It was unique and memorable. I find it odd that only one person from the original cast lives at the end. I wish there were more like it on. Overall, thanks for the good memories.

I want t start this off by saying I’m completely against all forms of racism, and it is in that regard that I am writing this. Police officers kill more white people than black people every year. We have one of the most brutal policing factions in the world, and I know because I’ve lived all over the world. We pay police less than minimum wage for the hours they work. We overarm them and then we glorify violence in our society. Our legal system, our policing force, and our society needs are so completely at odds that the mental perception is that violence is the only option. It isn’t. We need to get rid of our handguns completely, and we need to stop saying, “black” Americans. We are all Americans, and when the police are killing more “white” people than, “black,” we need to stop the police killing. Race shouldn’t factor in.

It isn’t like they made her gay specifically for this show :/ … She is a gay comic book character and has been such since her debut in DC.

nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

Beg to differ. She started out in the 1960’s as Batgirl. She was police commissioner Gordon’s daughter, and she was a potential love interest for Adam West’s batman. Besides, my comment was not about the character’s being gay so much as it is about there not being one, lead female comic book superhero who has to balance dating and/or family with supernatural powers. Yes, Wonderwoman has her man, but she doesn’t get to date around. Jessica Jones sleeps around, but you never see her in loving relationships. Susan Storm isn’t the lead. That leaves what? Alien? That’s not a comic book.

Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon (2011)
Tiger8me -3 points 4 years ago.

I’m with you on this one yellow_rose. Being a survivor of real pedophiles the one thing they all had in common was a complete disconnect from their hearts. Michael Jackson’s love for animals and children show just how connected to his heart he was.

nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

If you will look at Autopsy, the last hours of… Michael Jackson, (season 1 episode 1) a secret is revealed in his autopsy that means it’s almost positive that Michael Jackson wasn’t a paedophile. I won’t mention what the secret is, but he would have given his entire fortune to keep it secret, and it most likely would have been revealed during any sexual encounter. There’s also an Autopsy episode for Nicole brown Simpson and Ron Goldman (season 3 episode 3) that brings out some really interesting things about O.J. Simpson’s roll (or lack thereof) in their deaths. I recommend both.

“Obama had a majority in both houses for two years. He didn’t want to get anything done, just like Pelosi. Stop deluding yourself that anyone in DC is acting in your best interests.” You seem very combative; the assumptions about me alone are a bit much. I don’t think anyone in DC’s acting in my best interests. Obama had a majority in both houses for two years? So what didn’t he have for the other 6? A majority, hence he ruled by executive decree, much like Trump. Can you see how you’re not actually disagreeing with me?
“Pelosi knew that impeachment would only help Trump” Why do you think that? His approval ratings have stayed fairly constant throughout the process. And, more to the point, why aren’t you using your psychic powers to solve crimes?
“Meanwhile, both parties sell us out to their corporate paymasters, and let the military industrial complex dictate our foreign policy.” I’d tend to agree but: you think Trump’s letting the traditional military industrial complex dictate his foreign policy? Really? If so the military industrial complex are absolute (EDIT: apologies for the prior language) idiots. Trump’s foreign policy, so far, has resembled a roulette wheel, not the careful coordination one would expect from industrial paymasters. If you’d said that about Bush/Obama then, again, I’d agree, Trump though? Not so much.
“Pelosi’s faux-resistance may be fooling you, but she has no intention of actually standing in Trump’s way.” With great power comes great responsibility and you’re clearly a Professor Xavier level telepath so I think you should probably form the X men at this point. Not only do you apparently know what I think, you also know what Pelosi thinks. You have amazing powers my friend. Use them to do something truly amazing.
Notice how I don’t think I ever assumed any of your thoughts and only asked what I thought were quite reasonable questions. You’ve still not answered my main question (and I’ve responded to all of your points): what more could Pelosi do?

nikkimckelvy 0 points 4 years ago.

@both Dethanos and Badger, I’ve lived much of my life outside the U.S, and Trump is the most hated president in recent memory. Americans inside America don’t see it, but I have witnessed, first hand, on an international level the mass murders that his trade polices have instigated (whith his knowledge), the horrors he has inflicted on other countries, and any number of other atrocities he’s committed. He should have been evicted from that office about a month after he was elected. He knew he could beat the impeachment in the Senate, and he did it through getting dirt on his fellow Republicans, relying on their blindly, insipidly following their party, and blocking witnesses that would impeach him. On a massive level, the U.S. will be facing a massive fallout when he’s gone. To minimize that, he should have been evicted. Now, I’m just praying no one votes for him and I’m praying he doesn’t get dirt on the members of the electoral congress. Trump is a sham as a president- cramming more about expanding his real estate empire and about power than about anything else. Delusions of godhood come to mind.

The Magicians (2015) S5 E12
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

This is the musical episode, and it’s awful. Katie is the only one who can sing, dance, and act, and she cannot sing well enough to make her super famous. She acts and dances much better than she sings. This episode is a pass. They chose horrible songs that do not blend with the storyline, and they pick people who can’t sing to sing the majority.

Project Runway (2004)
nikkimckelvy 1 points 5 years ago.

I wanted to let the entire season pass before I posted my opinion on the changes. I’m convinced that letting Heidi and Tim go was good. They sold me on that. I still do not like that they are using designers who have all ready been in magazines and have a reputation. The whole point behind this show has always been to showcase designers who are brand new. If the designer is all ready good enough to have a name for themselves, they shouldn’t be on the show. I still like the show, but please bring back the brand new, unknown designers.

Nancy Drew (2019) S1 E1
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

Show’s promise. First things first, the CW chooses beautiful people who can’t act, so expect that immediately. There are some strong differences from anyone who likes the book series, but let’s face it, Nancy Drew changes every five to ten years. She keeps modern and is always eighteen! I’ll give it six episodes- the first five plus one more to see if the acting improves.

somniloquist 2 points 3 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Aw shucks, super duper sorry that being black in America means that you can be murdered in the street by cops who face no consequences. It should be so much more light-hearted to be shot dead in your home, or walking down the street, or driving a car. If Trevor Noah and his writing staff would just make more jokes about having a skin color that serves as an arbitrary death sentence, I sure would get to laugh more. Cause we NEED funny right now. Racism is a real bummer, huh? Sure wish people didn’t take it so darn seriously.

nikkimckelvy 1 points 3 years ago.

I wasn’t saying that at all. Think about all the fighting that happened in the late 1960’s and 70’s. Monty Python poked fun at it in The Quest for the Holy Grail. Humor, done correctly, brings about as much social change as hatred does, and Mr. Noah has talent enough to do that. I’m all for reforming the police. They kill more white people than black people, and frankly, they shouldn’t be killing anyone. I’m simply saying that Mr. Noah has the ability to get people to laugh at how stupid the police are being and bring about social change that way. Goodness knows we need all the ways to bring it about.

Neanderthal Apocalypse (2017) S1 E2

With all respect, Trump’s lawyer has had a week to prepare, and this is the trial of his life. On the one hand, it’s a boon. It’s the trial of his life and his career, and it’s almost a guaranteed acquittal. This is a game changing, life changing, bragging rights forever trial for him. On the other hand, he’s couldn’t have had enough time to prepare, this is not his field, his client isn’t a good person, and his more experienced co-council is basically sitting this out due to his religious beliefs. I don’t think this guy needs to be judged for being ill-prepared b/c his win is guaranteed and due to circumstances beyond his control, there was no way he could have had time to prepare. The eleven minute idiocy of having everyone, including civilians, saying, “fight,” is almost understandable. It’s hypocrital (AKA lawyering), but it’s underderstandable.

This is not for everyone, but it’s not bad. This is a polarizing film with people voicing strong opinions on both sides. It’s worth watching once as an adult so that you’ll have a strong opinion about it. For lack of a better way to explain it, it’s a story, and it’s worth being told- for good or bad, it’s worth being told.
