joeartguy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Star Day: Fat Badger]

Thanks!

After blamming nearly every other submission for Star Day, I had pretty much lost hope that any one of you guys would submit something that wasn't pure crap, cynically uploaded with the idea that all your cronies would make sure it passed. It was refreshing to see something with even a modicum of thought and effort put into it, that I could feel okay about voting higher than a one on.

I wish all -- or really any -- of your Star Syndicate associates had put as much creativity or industry into their own flashes. It was really sad.

You should ditch those losers and print your own t-shirts.

[Identity (2006)]

Horrible! And well done, too.

Thank you for your contribution to this archive, and my life. Now, whenever I think I'm having really bad day, I can watch your flash and know that it's not as bad as it could be.

He said "Smile! Things could be worse." So I smiled, and sure enough, things got worse.

Peda responds:

joeartguy, you seem like a VERY nice guy. Love your optimism in life- very much like mine :)

[Shnalty Shnacks!]

Best use of a lemur this month

Also very good clams, and fine sombrero violence. I found it very entertaining on my computer. Good on ya!

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

yey

[Frontier Psychiatrist.]

A really good video!

Which would rate even higher if it were completed. The synching was fantastic, and the style and imagination were terrific. Unlike most flash videos, this bears more than one watching. I'd surely give my highest rating to the finished version, if it's ever uploaded.

You should give credit to The Avalanches, too. Great song.

Blips responds:

Thnx for the review ! :D

A fine melding of words and images

Touching and fascinating to watch! You did excellent service to a fine piece of music and poetry. Well done!

thatbaldguy responds:

cool... glad you liked the multi angle approach

thanks

[Animal Politics]

Very well done

Lots of great design work and smooth, interesting animation; decent message too. I gave you an extra point for the Great A'Tuan. Good job!

[Yugayoh: The Movie Part 1]

Yay! Now I don't have to watch it myself.

Not like I was planning to, but thanks anyway. Nice job, and filled with funny. I particularly liked the totally useless friends... good to see that hasn't changed from the show.

My only comments: you could have used the "deep" voice for Yugi's thoughts, and I wished for more violence -- but you -were- following the movie, and I always want to see more violent things happen to these characters. Maybe in Part 2! Good work!

EternitySpent responds:

You are one of the lucky ones having not watched the actual movie.

[Forest of unicorns]

Very, very snoozational

Your lip-synch was adequate... which I guess is good, considering it was the one thing that moved -at all- in the first 3/4 of your flash, the last quarter being taken up by a simple, pointless left-to-right landscape cycle. Here's a hint: it's called a Flash -animation-. You might consider actually having things move during the movie. I mean, come on -- you had the rays of light coming through the trees. How hard would it have been to have them move a bit and alpha in and out? You could have made a much better flash with a minimal amount of effort. And here's another hint: try spending more than a day on one of these.

Get it together, man. You can do better than this.
