jthrash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[I'm not passionate in art anymore]

This ending is too sad and too true, so thank you for adding that "Don't Give Up" at the end of the animated version. Thankfully my own passion in art has only GROWN since I saw the original comic of this, but it is important for anyone seriously pursuing art to recognize they need to REALLY want to do it for the sake of the art and that getting a "proper" job in art is no longer the only way or even the best way to turn your artistic ideas into reality. And, like any job, it requires constant study and practice and long hours. There is no shame pursuing a more stable career path while hopefully making enough money from said career to continue pursuing indie art projects on days off, anyway.

[Pokemon Gold & Silver [Part 1 / 2] in 25 minutes ANIMATED]

No matter how hard I try, I'm never truly prepared for Xandrecos'...unique sense of humor. Thankfully the obvious fetish fuel stuff was somewhat tame by Newgrounds standards and I was able to ignore a lot of it in favor of the more charming, almost 1930's silent film-like jokes.

Not sure why anyone thought those extremely-stereotypical racist jokes at the bug-hunting part were a good idea. I'd let the "Miltank" joke at the very end slide, though, because it's a hilarious example of "the pot calling the kettle black"--reminds me of when Patrick Star first met Mrs. Puff and said "Who's the fat kid talking to?" Hoppip or whatever that pink plant Pokemon's name was by FAR the best and most entertaining character.

I hope the protagonist buys some lip balm or something with the sheer amount of lip-licking he did, his lips must be chapped and scaly by now.

All in all, an entertaining cartoon (though some parts were more "fun" while some parts were more "WTF?!"). Hope my looong review helps to make part 2 even better. And thank you of reminding me of arguably the best Pokemon games of them all (Gold, Silver and Crystal). I was never a huge fanatic of the Pokemon series, I'm certainly not super interested in the recent, buggy-looking games, but I've got to revisit my beloved Pokemon Gold after watching this!

[Bridge Kids: Stranger Danger]

Deadpan humor at its finest! I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this series. No, not in that kind of way, I'm too handsome to go to jail, wait FBI--

(gunshots plus pepper spray for good measure)

[kirb]

I was hoping I would at least turn 30 officially before I started feeling like poor ol' Kirb, here.

[every mans tragic experience]

I've been bitten by a hamster, several cats and even a finch I was deliberately taunting with my finger once, but I have yet to be bitten by a woman, thank the skies above. I avoid the risk by not being charming enough to have a relationship with a woman in the first place, although I could perhaps further reduce my risk if I stopped showering and working out.

[Horror movies with the gals]

Some people think (straight) men only ever fantasize about touching women's breasts or something shallow like that.

I can't speak for all other men, but my fantasies involve just doing cute, mundane things with a lovely lady by my side to just talk to--watching movies on the couch, going on a hike near the beach, preparing dinner together...

[POV: You're Buying Milk | TaterWorld]

Do people not wear pants in this universe, or...?

[Snowboarding and Honey]

It's sweet the rock moved out of the way for Pooh, but how is Pooh supposed to learn resilience and how to bounce back from life's setbacks if he never suffers, you know, a setback in his life?

At least Piglet learned the hard way that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. No wait, he was killed, never mind.

[Learning Skills on the Internet]

The airbrush is God's gift to artists.

"Hey, lil' mortal! Having trouble creating smooth gradients and 3-dimensional shadows with just your pen or paintbrush? Here! Just use this instead!"

[Joel calls the pizza place]

Classic stuff!
