jthrash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Good Intentions 2]

This one made me laugh and I can’t even explain to myself why…

[A Strand Type Animation]

That was fantastic. The random mood-killing memes were great, too! The 3D is great considering this obviously doesn’t quite have the same budget as the real Death Stranding and now I want to see what an indie “strand-type” game is like, although I’m sure there are at least 20 indie studios currently working on that as we speak.

[[TV 14] Longest Popsicle (Uncensored version)]

Was that Berd in the background of one of the shots? That’s awesome.

Also, I’m weirdly-curious enough to see the censored version now. I have no idea how you could make this obviously-sexual idea “advertiser-friendly” on YouTube, but apparently you made it work and I want to know how! Of course, I’m sue the Newgrounds version is still the superior one. Very sexy, nice work!

[Brent and Sophie - The Hole]

Yes, the self-proclaimed “gatekeepers” on Newgrounds’ Movie Portal can be annoying, especially when they’re giving you bad reviews just because you made a very short animation that would be welcomed on YouTube, Twitter, TikTok or even Newgrounds’ Art Portal, but for some reason not in the Movie Portal because it’s not a 90-minute animated movie with ‘90’s Disney Renaissance quality hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation that is best watched on a desktop PC as opposed to a tiny phone screen.

BUTT. To be fair, Newgrounds is quite tiny compared to the likes of YouTube and I doubt Tom Fulp has the money and infrastructure to host all videos, good and bad, popular and unpopular, and deal with the constant loss in profit that results in having to host so many videos like Google or Tencent can. So I have found that it would be common courtesy to only post my absolute best of the best content here while being more experimental on YouTube, while supporting the site monthly. And if in Doobus Goobus’s case it means we get more-detailed backgrounds and more original concepts here, then I suppose encouraging more creativity and effort from popular animators is a net positive for all, even if I wouldn’t say Goobus being able to find a workflow to post parodies every single week really counts as “spamming.”

Funny concept and writing, but this time with original characters!

[Monkey Wrench - The Ghost Egg]

I had JUST watched this on YouTube, but until I muster the money to support the Patreon (I NEED more episodes!!), I just would like to support Monkey Wrench and toot its horn on Newgrounds as well! This is so much higher-quality than most of what I see on TV or even streaming services these days!

[MOISTUREPALOOZA]

He was a former child actor? That explains a lot…

I also love that you hired Doobus Goobus just to do some grunts that literally anyone in the world can do for free. It’s not even an iconic Goobus-brand grunt, it’s just a typical grunt you could have done yourself. That makes it funny.

[BRO AIRBOATS IN PORTAL]

This art style is too adorable, bro.

[Chip of Potato]

I wish I could watch screaming angry people on the news without getting anxious myself, like the baked red Yoshi in this video. Must be some strong marijuana he's taking...

Tiltro responds:

He smoked a big roach then he got the munchies. Also the news would be funnier if they boxed each other or got out of their squares and strangle each other and broke a few bones. If I was a news anchor then I'd spin around in my chair and do the hooky pokey.

[Lyle, When You Die... ; A OneyPlays animated]

This is so smoothly and professionally animated, what the heck?!

drallimylime responds:

thanks, man! I tried really hard haha
