jthrash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Heebie Jeebies - Animated Short Teaser]

There are a LOT of videos on Newgrounds that I just never have time to watch, but making a cool trailer/ad campaign for your video makes me more likely to actually get around to watching it.

waxpersons responds:

Yeah the funk-vasion is hard to stand out in haha!

[KAWAI FRESH]

Great song, great animation, great...teases...and, most importantly, great Kill la Kill reference when BF flips the mic off the ground into his hand! I am in love!

MKMaffo responds:

You got it babyyyy
And theres more!!

[No Splash Photography Please! [UNCUT EDITION]]

The writing kind of reminds me of a Screwy Squirrel episode. The characters go off-model a bit too much (the characters’ heads in particular keep growing and shrinking constantly) and perhaps the environments could have used more detail if it was supposed to emulate the look of 1930’s and 1940’s cartoons, but I had fun watching a little cartoon, and that’s all that matters.

[Gaping Hole]

You could do without Twitter in your hole. Also I think Porn Hub is basically dead (or at least undead like Tumblr), which is...still a divisive topic...

[Fondling Meno]

Intentionally-lousy modeling and weight painting aside, I really do like the stretchy animation and dopey faces in these cartoon parodies. Now if only Pixar or any other high-budget animation studio would also let loose with the animation like this every once in a while...

[Slime Shady]

Well that went off script quickly.

[OneyPlays Animated - Vermin And Orphans]

First few seconds: ehhh, this looks a bit cheap...

Oney actually starts moving: Woah! It’s like Disney Renaissance era animation!!

So yeah, what the other guy said. Smooth animation.

TheArgoNinja responds:

Hehe, it may be unrefined animation, but I like to make sure it's buttery SMOOTH unrefined animation.

[Godzilla vs. Kong]

That ending was...something else...

[News : Foamy The Squirrel]

Can’t say I completely agree with this video, but then I saw it was an old episode from 2006. From a 2021 perspective, I can come up with plenty more relevant reasons why the news sucks: 1) it turns our own parents against us by making pretty every new thing (or old thing now in the case of Facebook or smartphones) sound scary and life-ruining. Seriously, why are my parents still uncomfortable with my screen time when I’m 26 and I have to spend a lot of time in front of a laptop FOR WORK? 2) They have clear biases for one party or race or gender and always blame “the other” for problems that have nothing to do with politics, like the current pandemic. CNN and talk show hosts were probably secretly hoping they could get people riled up about Trump for four more years and are clearly struggling to prove that they can take centrist Democrats to task in a similar fashion, while Fox News just got a new lease on life getting angry old racists riled up about Twitter Cancel Culture for 4-8 years. 3) They reinforce the worst aspects of capitalism by continuing to make us suffer from rich people’s mistakes, conflating socialism with the more extreme and unrealistic communism, creating literal race or gender wars to deflect blame away from people who actually caused the problem and have the power to fix it, and make preserving “the economy” a higher priority than solving climate change or giving the poor any upward mobility by essentially asking us to give Jeff Bezos more money and ask for none of that money in return.
