NitrogenousBeing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SS - Evolution]

you don't seem to understand modern biology

According to modern chemists it physically impossible to have a 12 helix DNA strand because there are not enough sterically feasible molecular interactions to keep it stable. To get 12 strands you would have to have extra stuff holding it together. Triple stranded DNA has been around since at least the 1960s in test tubes but in living things it causes all sorts of problems. That boy you site with a tiny piece of DNA making a 3rd strand on one of his chromosomes. Has all sorts of health problems; life cannot survive very much triple helix DNA strands without creating hundreds of molecules to deal with a third strand.
You seem to be confusing a few things about DNA:
Each chromosome is a strand of double helical DNA 46 chromosomes means humans have 92 strands of DNA per healthy cell right now.
Additional strands in a helix do not provide extra information because they have to structurally reflections of each other in order to form a helix.
Crystalline DNA would be completely useless because DNA must be flexible to function and crystals are not flexible.
Mutations in DNA are effecting the code not the the basic form.
Triple helixes are allowed under the basic structure of DNA in all living things but helices of higher number are thought to not exist.
The "junk" DNA currently has functions in living things and are part of the same strand "activating junk DNA will not add additional helices.
Oh something cool... Did you know DNA can pass electric current down its center like a wire? Also Science does not shun consciousness or intuition there are many that study it but there are limits for studying humans. Scientists don't have any reproduceable findings verifying mass consciousness. Scientists would love to provide evidence of mass consciousness, because it would be such a major break-through however nobody has anything reproducible and supporting, not even those you cite.

RiverJordan responds:

Ohhh! Alright well things just clicked then :P I'm still learning about it myself, that makes alot more sense. Thank you! "The code and not the basic form." I'll probably address that at some point, minor problem with my description :P

Chromosomes are another huge topic i didn't even touch today, but were actually moving from 44 and 2 chromosomes to 46 and 2, which is another major aspect of this shift in what's happening. Its crazy awesome stuff

[Being cheerful is easy!]

fun it is

I stared at this for a little bit as it played and the non-word VEN danced on the screen. Then suddenly, when whitey ducked around the table, I realized this is pretty well done. Although, I find silent film subtitles appalling (Id prefer a dancing text bubble or voices) this is still fun and well put together.

crazytree responds:

Yea.. You have a point, VEN is just too out of place. Thats SUPPOSED to be his name but... that's still a bad place for a name. It takes simple peer review for the most obvious mistake to be caught lol

[Frigid [MD]]

genious

I don't like to review things that are not new but that ending was completely genius. Even better when you've watched the morphemon episodes first.

PiGPEN responds:

This short was originally intended as a sidestory to ep Ep2.....kinda weird you have to go 6 years back to get an offhand joke.

[C.R.U.D.E Metal Pilot pt2]

about time...

You know I don't think today is Monday but that's okay. I like how the sarah girl got all worked up about nothing. Why was the slap effect there for so long?

[Villainy - P.I. #2]

cant wait

There are only three people on newgrounds I would like to steal animation talent from. This teaser defines you as one of them.

DonkeysBazooka responds:

i bet i can name the other two

[The Real Legend 4]

It is good but you are better than this

RLoZ3 was a better movie and you didn't meet your normal standards. House jokes or those extremely out of character reference faces do not fit well in the center stage of your movie. Replace those of place references and slow transitions with parody of the actual game or a boss fight scene and you will not only remove the aspects that cheapen your production but you will add flow and feel of completion. An additional minor point of inferiority to TRLoZ3 was the emotionally vacant music and out of place King Zora voice.
I do like that you brought back the flair dancer. But I'd like you to remember how you used to skillfully place your references in the background and refrained from overused jokes of popular culture. I can imagine that the water temple is the hardest temples to make an animation about and I hope you will wow me in the next one.

[Stickman Can't Fight 2]

nice

I find it refreshing that this is moving into something better than mainstream stick fight garbage. That being said I would like to see backgrounds that are more than a white screen with a couple black lines. This is especially important because 2 of the three characters are black. Also that dream sequence didn't transition very well when I first saw it I thought it was unrelated to the rest of the flash. if your v-caming it anyway you might as well blur the transition and make it clear its all in his head by moving away from a thought bubble. As you are going against mainstream anyway, maybe you can consider getting voices for your characters.

Now when all crits are said and done I really like this series and where it is going.

[Sean and Such Ep. 7]

Made me laugh more than I have all week.

That was so hilarious! Best one of these I've seen. By we don't even sell scorpions I was laughing very hard. Great voice acting too.

[IAMW, Charlie Brown]

quality drawing, slow- yet still quite good.

I was surprised to see another one of these twisted Charlie Browns. I thought that at some point there was a lot of opposition to movies on this subject... but I suppose there shouldn't be restrictions to what one can create.

This thing oozes hard work but is also predictable and a tad slow. The transition between scenes could be adjusted a little to help with flow, unless you absolutely want to keep that slightly disconnected feel(I don't like it). Voices and music were spot on except for Charlie Brown's in some places. I think the best order to view thing is prequel comics first then movie then art gallery.

Your cookie hints "Damien is Charlie Brown" but I assumed that from the start.

[Only Hope - Cover]

I was resisting scoring it, but I want to comment

Well I'm not opposed to having more singers on newgrounds but there really isn't a video attached to this. So it really doesn't belong in the Flash Portal. However the AP is a harsh and often lonely place right now. I guarantee complaints about the sound quality there. Your singing is good for the most part and it sounds pretty. There are however several unpolished parts. Trouble spots appear at the end of lines especially if there is a quick line afterwords. Also problems when you suddenly raised your voice higher in the highest part. I feel like you weren't relaxed enough in the beginning of the song. I'm sure you could become very professional sounding if you kept at it.
If I scored on sound alone it would higher than a 5.

AOsinger responds:

thank you for being honest, I will work on that... and next time I submit one of these i will have my little brother make a flash movie for it... i'm no good at that flash stuff :( ... but again... thanks for being honest. I really appreciate it.
