CultSyndicate's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Avant-garde Film]

I liked it.

I actually thought the idea behind this was pretty funny. What would have helped is having a preloader and an applicable thumbnail, or maybe doing something about the 4.7mb file size.

Things like that make it hard to take a flash like this as a good joke instead of a bad joke with good intentions.

I fucking hate the phrase Avant Garde

VespeneGas responds:

Although I believe a preloader would contradict the minimalism, an appropriate thumbnail has been added.

Thank you for your input.

[Charlie the Unicorn 2]

brilliant

That was the most original shit I've seen in a long time.

Way to do something right.

[History of an Animation]

faaaaaaantastic

I loved that, and started the same way myself as a freshman in highschool entertaining my friends with a bunch of post-it note flipbooks.

It cost me membership in NHS but I fucking love doing this and want to do it for the rest of my life.

[The Creation of High Art]

great work

HarlequindeRustre was saying some shit about a flawed conjecture on your part but fuck man, I think he's missing the point.

I may be missing the point too, but the message I got was that the idea of having general standards of what makes art good is a product of The Man and his lies. It's absurd to put expectations and merit on the creative human spirit it's products. The point is that all art subjective, including this work of yours.

So thanks for that bit of personal and historic insight. I liked how the narration was animated, the trailer next to the castle was perfect. Good luck in your animation class.

[Spaceships]

great

really, great work, reminded me a lot of Don Hertzfelt's(?) cartoons, maybe some shit I saw from Brad Neely, but really entertaining.

I can't imagine someone feeling good about themselves after making something like that. It's like you took a couple of really bad jokes and animated them.

In all seriousness, I'm not even sure how to approach constructive criticism for this one.

And really, to be completely honest, I am kind of disgusted with the idea of someone trying to make a joke out of the whole Chinese invasion. I don't know anyone from Tibet and I probably never will, but it's still a disturbing premise.

Now what would be funny is if you could replace the Chinese militant and the defenseless monks with, say, a Nazi officer and a gaggle of emaciated Jews, or a KKK hood and some oppressed southern black people. Now that would have been fucking hilarious, eh? Watching the filthy fucks squirm and say comical things while they get torched and shot at, like, "Ah! I'm a black jew and totally deserve this!" That sounds like choice material...

Yeah, make that your next big one. And you have to make it ultra-offensive by using racist terms and showing photos of actual lynchings and torture, otherwise you're a pussy. Just a big meaty hole.

Look, I'm sure you're just some jackass or maybe several jackasses trying to make an impression on the animation subculture with shock value and lame repetitive jokes, but there's a better way. It's called genuine creativity. No, I know it's not easy and requires effort and talent and all sorts of things naturally inherent to people born with a soul, but c'mon, you don't really want to burn out your miserable little existence on this planet peddling tasteless humor to an audience of anonymous fucks just to get your asshole/s figuratively french kissed on a review board, do you?

I wouldn't. You do whatever though.

WeRBopBop responds:

We've received numerous emails thanking us for this flash. The emails we are most impressed with are from people who weren't aware of this situation at all (people your age). This 'situation', regardless of which side you're on is newsworthy and people should at the very least be aware of it. The fact we've made anybody aware of this makes us pretty happy.

We're just excited you spent over an hour on newgrounds writing a review for us, spell checking, grammar... everything looks great!

Thanks for the useless insults though, my asshole has never been figuratively wetter.

[Diaz's Fbf 1]

don't tell me what to vote

but I liked it. Actually, I thought it was pretty good for a first FBF

diaz123 responds:

thx m8 :)

[Animals]

great

I love artistic animation.

Ever seen Eraserhead? This work had a similar vibe, but it was slightly more coherent.

[A Canvas And A Struggle]

you want criticism?

I like it a lot.

I was actually thinking about something Duchamp did earlier today, and they played a phillip glass track on the local college radio station from Koyanisqaatsi.

No, I've got no criticisms for you. Well done and thank you.
