jthrash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frye's realisation]

I didn’t understand a single word she said but she’s adorable. 10/5 Stars.

[Nude Model]

I know it takes so much longer, but I kind of prefer the art style and detailed backgrounds of the previous video (The Longest Popsicle). But if you feel you can be more creative with your ideas with a simpler artstyle that is faster to produce, then you do you.

MojoMontebon responds:

I guess what I'm really trying to accomplish was I wanna have more fun animating. Last video, the animation was almost not present for me and felt a little boring or I don't know maybe I just hate myself xd But I prefer to have fun on what I'm doing rather than doing things I'm not usually good at.

[The enormity of their flat brain.]

That can’t be a chicken. Regardless, I want hug him and squeeze him and call him George!

[Weight Loss Journey]

The entire Apple App Store is filled to the brim with over-ambitious apps like these that remind me of the famous Jurassic Park line:

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think whether not they SHOULD."

I've actually harmed my expensive iPad Pro in similar ways trying in vain to find a useable 3D modeling and/or animation app. Skinny devices with no cooling fans don't like heavy 3D software...

[nZ...]

Maybe it's just because of the sheer gap in time between "Y" and "nZ...", but I think I actually feel bad for F now. He just wanted to have a gay old time with all the other letters, maybe pull some harmless pranks every once in a while, but alas, they all rejected him, unaware that doing so would only make him meaner and more isolated. Hurt people hurt people, and all that.

Now...truly...I know my ABCs...

[FLCL reanimated cclip]

The room seems a bit sparse compared to the original, but I really liked the addition of the fat old cat arguing with her! And bouncing off the walls Arkanoid-style!

[Cash Grabs & Crossovers : Foamy The Squirrel]

I hate how this especially applies to mobile gaming. I don't feel comfortable bringing in any device besides my phone into the workplace lunch area (for fear of it getting stolen, with the exception of my phone because I have to carry it everywhere anyway). And let me tell you, reading political opinions on that phone during my breaks is somehow less depressing than looking on the App Store in vain for a game that is actually designed to be fun (as opposed to merely an addictive Skinner's Box); you only have to pay an up-front cost once instead of microtransactions or subscriptions; and most importantly, can be played OFFLINE and doesn't require hours-long downloads and updates or a constant online Wi-Fi-only connection that I obviously can't get at a grocery store break room, defeating the purpose of it being on a portable device.

One critique I have about the rant itself, though, is that Foamy blames the game developers instead of the publishers and executives. It's not the developers' choice to add all this greedy bloat or "marketable" crossovers, it's the higher-ups forcing them to add it or else they're fired. If it were truly the dev's fault, then these same problems would be present in indie games on itch.io or Newgrounds, but no, it only really exists in games made by corporations who only care about pleasing investors with "infinite" growth/profit. And Roblox developers...

[Homer Strangles Patty and Selma - Oney Plays Animated]

Wow, you almost animated the ENTIRE bit! I kind of wished you had gone on a bit longer to include Flander's uncharacteristically-ruthless "Hi-diddly-FUCK YOU HOMER!!" But otherwise it's a great extended bit from the great Super Mario World Playthrough and I'm glad someone finally animated it!

[Bobble Heads]

Fascinating. Is there any way you can make it perfectly loop? Basically, every individual thing starts and ends with the same exact keyframe values. It seemed to have come close to perfectly looping, but the lighting changed drastically from the first and last frame.

Fixxelious responds:

Updated! made it loop more smoothly :)

[Ouro Kronii Being a Disney Villain (Preview)]

Replace Kronii with the last couple of US Presidents and you’ve suddenly got a very topical animation. That ending caught me off guard, so funny!
