The Dirty War on the National Health Service (2019)
Johnny2Stripes 4 points 4 years ago.

With a newly elected Conservative government, the UK will now privatize all health care. It’ll be sold off to Trump and the UK will regret it maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but very soon.

Ditzygypsy 1 points 4 years ago.

I thought Boris just announced that it is not for sale and it is a priority to maintain it. Of course, I don’t know if he’ll keep his promise, nor do I know much about him, really, but that is what he said after the election. I kind of don’t think they would ever sell it, especially to a losing proposition entity like the United States. They are the worst at managing anything to do with things that help their people meet and retain their rights to their basic needs being met, such as health care. But I can certainly understand the fear. I am Canadian too, and I am very grateful for the access to my human right to health care.

The plot thickens. Don’t understand how having more than one site to be a member of could possibly be considered a bad thing. This site is relatively peaceful in comparison with some alternatives. I don’t expect your job is easy at all. I am grateful for this place and the people who keep it going, though.

This was very bad. So many plot holes, and if your lead character is supposed to be some kind of charmer, at least pick someone handsome. Not someone who looks like an anvil hit their face at a high rate of speed.

Some ppl do get some kind of kick out of giving shows a ‘1’ or ‘5’ without even watching. One asshole even admitted to it in chat today. Some even search out shows featuring a group they don’t like and downvote for that reason only.
With broken people you get a broken site.

Ditzygypsy -1 points 4 years ago.

Admitted it? I can’t imagine admitting being a douche, but hey, some people have small aspirations, lol. Thank you.

Hear Hear my good viewer, well said at the least. I believe there is a troll giving everything a one star without even viewing the video.

Ahh. That makes sense, I mean, the explanation, not the act. Thank you.

Elvis Has Left the Building (2004)
Ditzygypsy 0 points 4 years ago.

I love Elvis. I worked for an ETA for awhile, and I’m not crazy about most of them, but some, like Shawn Klush, really give people a good show. You have to sit just far enough back to maintain the illusion, and if their voices are good and close enough, you really can be entertained. But I did enjoy watching the mass destruction of the many awful ones in this movie. Thank you, uploaders.

Richard Jewell (2019)
Ditzygypsy 9 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

I wish people would say why they give something one star. I try to explain my judgement. Is the movie poorly made? Is the acting awful? Do you think it’s well-made but disagree with the content or slant of the perspective of the creators? I like biopics, and I remember this. I felt very sorry for him, and I believe the whole disaster they made of his life was definitely avoidable, but I don’t know the inside of the story (because I wasn’t there, as most of us also were not there) to know if there is or isn’t just one person to push that blame on. I want to see this because Eastwood makes good movies, and because it’s my favourite genre. I will come back and say if it liked it in an edit. But it doesn’t mean I liked the perspective, and I’ll try to say so if that’s the case. It is just one movie maker’s perspective. At any rate, Richard deserved a movie about his ordeal. That much I do feel strongly about. Please explain why you feel this is a low-rate, one-star movie. If you actually watched it, that is.
I’m not sure what I may have said that seemed like a spoiler in my actual “review” below, because I didn’t reveal anything that we don’t already know historically, but I was asked to put my spoiler parts in spoiler brackets. So I think I have to put this entire piece in as a spoiler? I have always understood history to be unspoilable unless you live under a rock. Please don’t live under a rock.
EDIT: I enjoyed the movie. The acting was superb. I felt the same heartache for Richard as I always did. I don’t think the Press is bad. Reporting is necessary, especially where politicians are concerned! I’m not American, but I don’t believe the FBI is corrupt, but there are ambitious people who seem soulless in every line of work. I think this was a snowballing effect of tunnel vision and personal ambition, but the reporter who stared it all is also no longer here to add any further personal insight to her actions. This is one take on the story, and for the most part, as we saw it unfold in front of our eyes, this is what happened on the outside. Whether or not what went on inside the minds and through the actions of the key players in the FBI and the Press happened the way this movie shows us, we can’t know for certain. But something did go wrong, and it was human action that caused it. I believe the Press is very important, and there are hundreds of journalists who do their jobs with integrity, just as there are those integrity-driven people populating law enforcement. There are bad people in every line of work. This movie in no way changes my opinion of the news I take in or my feelings about the good that law enforcement does. I am just glad Richard’s story got told. My heart goes out to his mother, too, since I’m a single mom of one son. Thank you, uploaders.

Sid & Judy (2020)
Ditzygypsy 0 points 4 years ago*.

I am not a Judy Garland fan at all, but this is a very well-done and different documentary. Giving it one star, especially without even probably having watched it, is just petty, immature, and foolish. That in no way renders an actual opinion that helps anyone thinking about watching this. Grow up.

The Whistleblower (2011)
Ditzygypsy 1 points 4 years ago.

That mystream works really well. It’s first time I’ve seen it. What a powerful, but hard movie to watch, but thank God for whistleblowers. Wygand, Binney, Bolkovac, and the many anonymous ones like Bratt and who we now know Deep Throat to have been, Felt. All heroes. Thank you, uploaders!

Last Christmas (2019)
Ditzygypsy 6 points 4 years ago.

If you’re avoiding this because you think it’s just a sappy rom-com, without spoiling it, I can tell you that it isn’t really a romantic movie. I rarely get choked up over romance, and that’s why this caught me off guard and I did have to swallow a few tears. The music is fantastic, and Emma Thompson steals the show. It’s also kind of a lovely tribute to George Michael, his song, and the fact that he passed on Christmas Day. I met him in 1987, and I feel lucky to have that experience in my memory. Thank you, uploaders.

Stumptown (2019)
Betamax78 -11 points 4 years ago.

Mindless drivel for slack-jawed drooling yokels obviously filmed in Vancouver with the cheap Canadian production vales and corny Canadian vibe . Why is all network TV still all garbage pandering to the lowest common denominator ? I guess only idiots still watch conventional TV ?

Ditzygypsy 2 points 4 years ago.

You might be surprised at all the things that have been, and are, filmed in BC. Not just Vancouver. From Mission Impossible to The Man in the High Castle, and many, many other movies and series both with big and small budgets and names. The recent “The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco” was filmed here entirely using BC talent except for the two main characters who were from the first series. This show is filmed partly here and partly in Oregon, where it is supposed to take place, and some additional shots are done in L.A. This might not be the best show ever made, but it’s hardly the worst.

Freaks (2019)

I hadn’t heard of this, but it was quite good. I can see why people are comparing Lexy to Drew Barrymore. I thought of Firestarter several times. Amanda Crew is a high school friend of my goddaughter, who lived with us for some time. I’m glad I gave this a shot, and thank you, uploaders for the streamplay link.

Absolute Power (1997)

It used to work. Now it just stops every two or 2.5 seconds exactly. It buffers ahead, but won’t play anymore. Streamplay.to is one of the last available sources that works.

Mixdrop should be called GoStop. Plays for 2 seconds (literally), then stops. Streamplay works though.

Why is mixdrop now just playing for a few seconds and stopping? Constantly. It buffers way ahead, but it will not stay on Play.

Knives Out (2019)
Ditzygypsy 8 points 4 years ago.

I had no idea what this was about. I hadn’t seen any trailers for it. It was great! I have to say that Daniel Craig blew me away. I’ve seen him in a few things. I’m a James Bond fan, but I haven’t been able to get through the first one of his Bond films (tried 3 times with the first one and fell asleep each time), nor have I tried any of the rest of them after that, but I have seen him in quite a few other movies playing different kinds of characters. This was so different from all of those. Kind of like Kenneth Branagh in Wild, Wild West, but not quite as quirky/silly. There’s a bit of a scene where he’s singing away in a car by himself, and I thought his comedic timing was pretty good. And not-so-nice Chris Evans was different. But I still think he’s a sweetheart. The jokes about the kid who’s “basically a Nazi” had me laughing out loud, and Don Johnson always does a pretty solid performance. Great story and nice twists. Thank you, uploaders!

Becoming Cary Grant (2017)
Ditzygypsy 1 points 4 years ago.

Oh my. He was truly sublime. So handsome and self-deprecating. My grandparents ran into him at the airport in 1971 and snapped a picture with him. I was surprised they recognized him since they were Russian and Ukrainian immigrants who emigrated to Canada in the mid 40s, and they didn’t really follow Hollywood at all. Plus, we didn’t even recognize him when they showed us the photo at first, because we didn’t realize he had silver hair and those thick, black-framed glasses, but they still spotted him. But once you looked at it, you could still clearly see how beautiful he was. This was very interesting and surprising, to me, as far as the LSD therapy. Cary Grant on an acid trip, lol. Never knew that! Thank you, uploaders.

Iris (2002)
Ditzygypsy -1 points 4 years ago.

It’s surprising how much Kate Winslet looks like young Iris Murdoch. And I know Prof. Bayley was a scholar, but he almost seemed like he was a bit mentally challenged, and not just socially awkward. He remarried after Iris’ death in 1999. He ended up leaving his second wife over £4 million. Thank you, uploaders. streamplay.to links are the only links that work without problems or often are the only links that even work at all now. Please keep using that source.

Mississippi Burning (1989)
Ditzygypsy 1 points 4 years ago.

What a great movie. It was quite hard to watch the first 2/3 or so, and a little bit frustrating to see how the heinous Klansmen were getting away with so many atrocities, but Gene Hackman is a badass when he plays a good guy, and he played a great badass-good-guy in this. The ending was quite satisfying. So much hatred. And so much of it still exists and is once again rearing its infernally, ugly head. How anyone can think their DNA makes them superior is beyond me and beyond the scope of how a normal person thinks. I watched this on Superchannel but wanted to make a comment on here to recommend this movie.

October Sky (1999)
Ditzygypsy 2 points 4 years ago*.

I love biopics, and this one was about more than just what one young man dreamed of doing and did. It was about fathers and sons and mothers and their boys and the other relationships that affect us as we go through those awkward, and sometimes painful, teenage years. Nicely told. Thank you, uploaders.

The Professor and the Madman (2019)
Ditzygypsy 2 points 4 years ago.

Excellent film. Such a beautiful movie in my favourite genre, Biography. Sean Penn is remarkable. The whole cast is fantastic, but he gives an especially amazing performance. Watching him -and Mel- in this, allows you to see the difference between good acting and great acting. Thank you so much, uploaders.

The Gift (2015)
Ditzygypsy 1 points 4 years ago.

This definitely kept me interested, and everything is made clear by the end of the movie with a plausible explanation instead of leaving it as some kind of silly mysterious “powers” that we aren’t allowed to understand. Movies that do that really cheat the viewer, and it’s a lazy cop-out on the part of the writer and director. Everyone gave a good performance, and Edgerton plays someone completely different from his roles in Warrior (which is an excellent movie) or Exodus: Gods and Kings. It definitely is a true Mystery with the tension of a Thriller, and I was skeptical at first, because Horrors are often miscategorized as Thrillers, and most Horror movies are full of silly unexplainable nonsense. Thank you, uploaders.

Paper Man (2014)

Great indie film with an excellent cast. Some really comical moments with Ryan Reynolds as the imaginary superhero friend (not a Spoiler), and some very touching, heart-wrenching spots with Emma Stone and Jeff Daniels. Thank you, uploaders.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
Odie 1 points 4 years ago.

I thought it was a great flick. Breath of fresh air really, compared to the same ol mindnumbing drivel released every month with just a different title.

Ditzygypsy -2 points 4 years ago.

Well, I didn’t like it, and I don’t watch the same types of films or read the same types of books all the time. The boy with the unexplainable magical powers was just part of what was silly about this very full-of-itself movie.

Hustlers (2019)

It was better than I thought it would be. It was a story about friendship as well as larceny, but I’m also wondering if the club(s), who were in on the credit card upcharges, ever bore any criminal liability. It wasn’t cash. Anyhow, thank you, uploaders.

Ditzygypsy -3 points 4 years ago.

This is such a stupid movie, lol. I’d rather watch a Teletubbies marathon than ever have to choke back the experience of rewatching this piece of crap. I can’t really stand any of the movies this director has made, though. I’ve tried three of them without realizing he was the common denominator until I had already suffered through each one of them.

Elizabeth Harvest (2018)
Ditzygypsy 1 points 4 years ago.

What a stupid movie. Characters that are just crazy aren’t interesting enough to make me care about them. I like Ciarán Hinds. My son’s name is Ciarán. I had seen Persuasion when I was pregnant, and liked the name enough to run it by my husband who wanted to keep Irish names in the family (I am not Irish, but his family is). But this was just a crappy movie with one-dimensionally, purely nutso characters. And the clone girls were just shells of characters. Also, the premise and reasoning was dumb and convoluted. It was gross and stupid and awful. I have Netflix, but I wanted to warn people on here to not waste their time. Almost as awful as The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

Field of Dreams (1989)

I like to rewatch this every few years. Bill Kinsella lived here for many years and passed away about 3 years ago in Hope, BC, 25 minutes from here. Lovely story and beautifully-done movie.

The Impeachment Show (2019)
metalrob72 -2 points 4 years ago.

Whether you’re for or against Trumpo, this show is ridiculously biased and one sided. It’s produced by Viceland, they’re so far to the left they make Buzzfeed and CNN look conservative.

Ditzygypsy 0 points 4 years ago.

CNN is fairly conservative; it’s just not far right wing like F$x opinion talkers. In places like here, where I am, we have more than two parties, so CNN is pretty much in middle as far as the kind of people it has on for interviews. It’s kind of interesting that some people in the US think their Democratic Party is Left. They’re Democratic, which is pretty central.

Gold Digger (2019) S1 E2

Ditzygypsy 0 points 4 years ago*.

I just find the songs, not the score, that they’re choosing to be ugly sounding. I don’t like fad voices…the kind that have idiosyncrasies that are in for a bit, and that a while bunch of people try to mimic, then that go away after that cohort group has grown up and realized how awful it sounds. My cousin worked for Sarah McLachlan for many years, and she is really and truly a very nice and very hardworking person, but she has a fad voice. Now everyone has a speech impediment like Sia, et al. It’s just painful to listen to. But, there was one song that was good, but I’m not done watching this yet, so there’s still hope! Glass half full! :)

Bernie (2012)
Ditzygypsy 1 points 4 years ago.

This was actually really, really funny and also kind of sad, but the thing that I got the biggest kick out of was hearing Jack Black sing hymns and Inspirational songs I grew up singing in church. My high school band mate, Brian Doerksen is a famous Praise and Worship song writer, but I’ve just never really gotten that much out of that kind of song. I like the hymns, and hearing Black sing Just As I am or Standing on the Promises made the movie extra special. The commentaries from the townspeople was very well done. I hadn’t heard of this murder case before this. Thank you so much, uploaders.

He’s pretty good at it, but Ekman is even better. Plus, it’d be another, independent analysis. I think Doc was duped in this case. I don’t always agree with him, and he did have that Jack Trimarco from the FBI for many years doing the polygraphs, which can be beaten, but Jack was excellent at it. He passed away last year, though.

It’s ok, but not everyone would know you were kidding, and they might be helped by some of the things he recommends or suggests, especially regarding children and bringing strangers into the home (I was a single mom and never brought one single man home nor stayed at a man’s house overnight). So I think it’s good to know that he is qualified, even though he isn’t always right (no one is) and like everyone else, he too has his own inherent biases and human nature flaws. 😊

I came here to see if anyone had mentioned the recent media coverage of the real case. Scary and creepy, eh? I watched some of her interview with her new weird adoptive parents and didn’t buy a word they said. I hope the original adopters aren’t found guilty of their charges.

Ditzygypsy 0 points 4 years ago.

She smartened up after she got to their home because she had burned bridges with other families and the jig was up. She had adult teeth at “8” years old for crying out loud. I’d like to see what Paul Ekman would say about her micro expressions and have him do a deception analysis on her. I think she’s a very good liar. And I hope those people are exonerated, too.

Yes, he is still a Dr. Not an MD, but a Ph.D. He does not have a licence to practice psychology In the state of California and he retired his licence in Texas in years ago, but he is not practicing psychology on TV. But, like dozens of the professors I worked with, he still has a Ph.D. He just isn’t teaching in a classroom; he’s hosting a TV show now. Ph.D means he can use Dr. It does not mean he practices medicine, dentistry, or therapeutic psychology.
