Johnny-Mac's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DUE]

Phenomenal, man. From one procrastinator to another, a marvelous example of life imitating art...(err, maybe the other way around?)

[Rats on Cocaine - Ep # 9]

The animation was excellent!

You know, I should really be ashamed of myself for watching and enjoying this shit! We ALL really should be.... and shame on you for spending countless hours on animating it!

.... but ah, other than that, outstanding work! Can't wait to see #10.

[Blockhead: Episode 9]

It's insane! I love it!

Blockhead never ceases to amaze me. He has the gift of being able to take an innocent persona and turn it into something completely twisted and morally corrupt, and it requires little to no intelligence on his part! I thought the last Ghostmas episode was the truest example of that, but once again, he's topped himself.

I know it's been said, but the animation has become way more fluid and the graphics have come a long way since the beginning of the series. Blockhead's bodily and facial expressions look like something right out of Ren and Stimpy. And the integration of The Ring reference is very creative. It's good to see Blockhead progress like this, but there's always room for improvement. I would actually like to see some more character development with Blockhead (standing up to the conscience guy was a good start) As irritating and off the wall as he tends to be, I would actually like to see Blockhead deal with someone who's more psychotic than he is. Just a thought.

Well anyway, good show. Looking forward to Episode 10!

The-Swain responds:

Right on. Blockhead is partly an embodiment of unkempt whim, flying from one interest to another without any real knowledge of anything not of the present. I have plans for more staple characters than just reoccurring background folks, one of whom is a maniacal obsessive-compulsive. You're right about needing to explore more character development and interactions - I mean, Blockhead's random, but he is still a character. I'd really love to develop what happens when we pit him against people who, like the Conscience, can't be scared away.

I'm also looking forward to Episode 10, but not to making it. :D And thanks for the insightful review!

[Rude-Boy & Junior: Ep. 6]

Wow. Thanks.

I feel dumber just have had watching that. By at least 20 IQ points. Seriously.

Do us all a favor: improve your graphics and style and please work on developing a sense of humor; one that, you know...makes people laugh. The one you're using right now reminds me of "Tom Goes to the Mayor" Where you tell blantantly stupid jokes just for the purpose of making people go "uhhh...wtf!?" It's already been done and it doesn't work. And the plot of having two guys working on a flash actually had potential and I'm sad to see it went to waste.

And by the way, there's only room for one "Mama's Boy" in this business. Nothing personal.

[Ackbar Movie : The Movie]

Pretty out-there stuff!

Well, although there was no real animation, per say, just movement of random jpegs it definitely had the random humor thing going for it. And it's not just the average stupid random humor that a ton of people try to get away with on this site; this flash took that aspect to the extreme!

And in spite of everything, this cartoon had me rolling. Definitely a good laugh that I hadn't had in awhile. And so thanks, I needed that.

[EndangeredSpecies: The KK]

Very Creative.

You know, as a huge fan of Spidey and Venom, it's a joy to see this kind of animation come to life, especially at the expense of one of these "bad flash clubs".

But the true injustice is just that: the presented flash is way too talented to even be associated with the KK. Everyone knows these flash spammers are assclowns and, as cool as it is to see their avatars get torn limb from limb, they really don't deserve the tribute. But nonetheless, good job man; do your thing!

[F.U.: AutoBlowBile]

Funny-ass flash, dude.

Also, thanks for your shout-out on the BBS post. "I haven't invaded the country with the cows yet, that's coming..."

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go orally service my humvee. (that's damn sure what it feels like sometimes.)

Yes, I'm sure you can relate. Thanks for the review, and congrats again on your Daily Feature.
