Toxic-AKA-Bob-Barker's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shrektarded]

HOORAY! YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!

Now go make Cute Piggy's Revenge 3.

Buddudslash responds:

Is it okay if I just copy-paste Cute Piggy 2 and add a "3" to the title?

[8-Bit Reading Rainbow]

I still like this...

Rest in Peace Easy E.

Rest in Peace.

Un-J responds:

In the USA we call him "Eazy".

[Geeks In Love]

This video is false advertising!

I was expecting a tale about two circus performs who bite the heads off of chickens, but there was no chicken head biting to be seen. In fact no chickens at all! Tsk tsk tsk!

But on to the video!

This was an excellent fun well animated video with tons of references. The type a geek would love. Keep in mind I didn't see any apearances of Weird Al, binary numbers or Hitchiker's Guide to Galaxy references, or a heart playing the keytar, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. Keep up the godo work, but don't try to over do it on the Lemon Demon.

TmsT responds:

Awyeah, I was going to but a Vogon or two in there but I forgot. :(

[Landing in a Flash Can]

Hahaha Awesome

Well I definetly did this coming. Good animutation. Maybe a bit too much stuff going on at once, but overall wacky zany and nice use of pop culture. The only disapointing thing about it is that it seems like you didn't finish the whole song, unless it's supposed to cut off like that.

Veltri responds:

I did actually decide to cut the song short because, really, it goes on for quite a bit and as some people have stated already, its hardly soothing to the ears ;).
Plus just as you said, there's too much stuff going on at once [I was going for a sort of visual-overload kinda thing], and to keep up that amount of complexity for another 3 minutes would have been hell.
I'm glad there are still some animutation creators/fans around to support this stuff!

[Gone With the Wind 1979]

This is what's it's all about folks...

While there are some technicalities in terms of things like file size, image quality, and mouth movement, the one thing is for sure is that this video has that certain charm, originality, heart and spleen put into it. We witness a abrage of colors and flashy things as "Prooptoro" is chased after a Monstar and Matisyahu and Musolini (or depending on who's head you click) bask in the sun remembering the days of yester year. It is a bit on the short side, but then again the song is short. Plus it allows for more rewatchability as opposed to being some sort of massive epic that you get tired of half way though. Although it may be forgotten in years to come, Gone with The Wind 1979 will proabably turn out to be a cult classic that will stand above the heaps of crap that are coming out of the animutation portal nowadays.

Un-J responds:

hi toxic I liked chocolate niblet beans a lot. ^_~

[Scorched Earth: The Movie]

An epic...

Well my opinions of this movie seemed to change as the thing went on. At first I thought it was going to be an overblown story based very losely on the actual game itself, but then when it came on I realized that it very much an exagerated version of the game with some fancy music. For a while I was a bit bored with the pointless violence, but then twists started coming along like the man on the moon. And then came the chase scene which featured a classic chase theme tune. But although I got a bit bored at times, I found that it all came togethor with the classic closing song. In fact, it was so bauetiful that I almost cried. I was expecting some sort of silly interruption to spoil the mood, but there wasn't and I think it was good the way it was.

Now go hunt down some voice actors that can play the roles of ten year old boys and get working on that Commander Keen movie!

TmsT responds:

Heh heh, good to hear from you again, Toxic. :) I bet you were like "Oh Andrew, when will you ever learn" when you saw the crazy chase scene eh?
I was hoping that people would expect to see something boring at the beginning, so that it might blow a few minds when the moon was gradually introduced and then things started getting a bit weirder.
You would not believe the restraint I had to exercise at the end to keep myself from animating a giant flyswat splattering the little people all over the background like bugs on a wall. But in the end I decided that it was better for the movie to end the way it did. For an ending of silliness, see the bonus footage. I was actually going to use that song for the ending, for a while. I'm glad I didn't!

HUNTING MODE ON

[eBaums world dot com]

Hmmmm...

While this Flash was rather funny, the thing that kind of puzzles me is while what ebaumsworld is doing wrong by stealing content and putting it on his site, why is it okay for a certain someone to make Flash videos consisting of a vast majority of copywrited material (mainly images) used without the original creator's permission and no credit to the orginal source, with the only copywrite info being the occasional copywrite with the video's creator's name? Tell me how this is justifiable.

(Yes I have also made videos out of blatantly taking content from other sources, which is partially why I want to know whether or not I should just quit and give up.)

altffour responds:

Everything in the video excluding the watermark, logo and memes was drawn by me with a mouse. I'm not claiming I made numa numa, Zeus, or ebaum's world, or making any money off of this. It is VERY different.

[Lurch Poiuyt's "Birthday"]

Groovy man!

While this video wasn't hysterically funny, and did use some images that have been a bit overused on the net (such as the dancing banana and the fat girl), it succeeeded in being a video that was just a lot of good fun. Another thing this video had going for it, was the amount of style and flow that it semed to have, which didn't make it seem like a bunch of rushed crap, like some things I've seen. There are some scenes in heere that work really weel with the music, such as that simple animation of that snapping. Keep up the good work!

PS: Finish Wild Bill!

ericfleck responds:

It's great to see that one of my favorite Animutators gave me an 8 for this simple cartoon. Yeah... those two images are overused, but I didn't plan on this cartoon turning into my first
NewGrounds submission... :P

[Sporkfest]

Well I guess I'll be honest...

This video was a fun insane romp feautring dancing spork rampaging throughtout the world. And that I liked. However, I'm not completely sure if I am comfortable with your choice of music. Yes, it added to the insanity of everything since the song was comepltely irrelevant to the video, and I can see it as being a possible artistic statement against NGers who claim things are stolen just by seeing one shared element just as what happened with some of your other works. And it proabably also pleased thw Spork mistress herself. Yet I felt there were much wackier songs that could have been used (like Everybody Eats when They Come to My House by John Lithgow). Then the song could have had a better chance of being spread over the universe instead of seeming like it was riding off the "Bananaphone video fad", and then the sporks would truly succeed in their goal in global domination. But whatever, it's your video and it was still a good use of the song.

TmsT responds:

If only I'd known that the Bananaphone song was already an internet Flash cliche, I might've used some of my other dixie trash instead. :( Ahh well. I liked the song, Sporkie kinda likes it; I'll use a different song for a different animation when it's your birthday. So to speak. Too bad nobody else here digs that.

[Horn Face]

Heheheh. That horn was coo

Wasn't bad, but I found that it needed a better ending. It seemed like it was going to build up to somethign with all the horn stuff, but it never did. It just endded with a hron joke with Ark and therfore didn't have a good enough ending. But it was an interesting idea.

cram-it responds:

Thank you for being fair Toxic. This was just a showcase for a funny idea. For the record, I quite enjoyed "Shumway" and "Elvis not included".
