Doodler's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Goobers Arena]

That was surprisingly good! I really enjoyed it.

[The turtle killed the sun]

Upon my 6th time through, I suddenly choked up with emotion, my eyes filled with tears and my nostrils flared to their very limits. The emotions I have repressed for so long are now spilling out like that duck's shit. Bravo... again... bravo... :'(

[Luis vs. ClockCrew]

HOW COULD YOU LUIS HOW COULD YOU!?

Poor... poor strawberry clock :(

Oh god.

[Miss Dynamite XXII iraq]

Well drawn, but in bad taste.

I know all things should be open to parody and discussion, but I can't help feeling agitated by this and the other Ms. Dynamite Iraq episodes. Perhaps it's just a 'too soon' sort of issue, but it's difficult for me to find humor in this terrible war.
.
Perhaps you could explain why I should be amused, because the boob jokes and random violence doesn't really do it for me anymore.

Best directed piece on Newgrounds

This is one of my personal favorites out of everything I've seen in the past... long time. What? Seven or eight years since I've been to NG.

Your style of directing and humor is just awesome, man. The art is also extremely well done, albeit simple, but you retain the style throughout. I'm sad that people aren't responding better to this piece... I guess it's not flashy enough for them. I think older audiences will just love this.

Keep up the good work! I WANNA SEE MORE!

[Phillip the Tennis Ball]

An example of great art... but terrible story.

In terms of general aesthetic, your animation was exceptional. You guys are truly skilled illustrators, but your story and directing was honestly the worst I've seen in a long time. Your sense of humor was shotgunned at us in a quantity-over-quality fashion, which was probably fun to make but could have used significant revision. I'd really recommend collaborating with someone to do your scripting, and then let your visual creativity enhance it. I look forward to seeing stuff from you two in the future, but try to consider your audience and work on the humor a bit :)

no.

[X-Men: House of M part 4]

Excellent! ... with a few Graphic Hiccups

Your writing, direction, and pacing blew me away! Awesome job! There are very few people who can pull off a sitcom-paced Flash cartoon, and you did it marvelously (pun). Even though you did the arm-less thing to be cheap, I found that the style grew on me over time. However, you really should consider using REDUCE CURVES in Flash to make your characters a bit smoother around the edges. Highlight your outlines, and press Control-Shift-Alt + C , then move it to the second-lowest amount and check 'Multiple Passes'. It works wonders :)

I look forward to your future releases! You're truly an author to watch out for!

[The Comic Room]

Nice Alpha Channel Experiment

I don't think this movie really stands well on its own, but as an experiment with Flash's alpha channel video, it is pretty successful. I found it ironic that you said "look at these vectors" when they were in fact bitmaps... aside from some humor that I can't comprehend, you really had no reason to not use true flash vectors for them.

The overall humor was OK... I wasn't on my knees or anything, but it has some potential. I haven't followed your series, either, so I guess my opinion lacks some credentials.

[All Your Base DX 2006]

Meh... Could have done so much more!

This entry was fine and all, but it really didn't pay proper homage to the damage that AYB has done to society. What I wanted to see were unphotoshopped images of actual AYB infiltration ... surely there were many comics, social commentary, etc., that included or mentioned AYB! Who cares about bad photoshop jobs? It's been done, and in fact, it's been done 5 years ago (hence the anniversary). I'm sure the more extreme of you nerds have defaced public property in some way as a tribute to AYB... why not show that? In my opinion, AYB's legacy holds much more value than its shoddy sequel.

Sonucais responds:

Good review.

[Pallid Fingers 2]

Lots of ideas, but needs just as much work.

Although I enjoyed this animation, I couldn't make it through the entire thing. The pacing was extremely slow and the editing often sloppy. Consider using more than one perspective for shots to keep things moving, and if you're going to have everything move at the pace of a dialogue piece, make sure that every line is well thought out and witty.

There were many good ideas, and it served well as a parody, but try to cut out unnecessary pauses -- use them only for dramatic effect when necessary -- and keep the camera moving. It will make a huge difference.

Good luck in future projects! 7/10
