sucho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Displeased]

icky green tea

thats what my inner voice sounds like. only with a phlegmy british accent to it.

DESPITE OUR BITTER DIVORCE, i still like your flash. cool beans.

Rutger responds:

coolio! ;D

[One Big Morphing Orgasm]

air quotes

my cross-eyed runty braindead cat found this incredibly entertaining today.

i'm still psyched that i got to be a part of this

TheBoogley responds:

that's just silly. don't be silly. :3

[Just a few buds]

insert subject here

fantasticated stuff, i especially enjoyed your parts. tiny swirls in rectangular pupils, my loops just don't deserve to be entertaining without that depth of detail and creativity. also the music in that bit was well good too, what was it?
i dunno how peeps can get flustered at these menu collabs, they're always so easy to please.

UnderARock responds:

why thank yah sir, coming from a swell guy such as yourself c:
and im pretty sure the music in that part is a section of Time by Pink Floyd

[My World of Newgrounds]

fokk. i can't stay mad at you

i shouldn't really like this. its based on a commercial, an easy template for people to spam newgrounds with, and nothing you suggested fell into any of my personal tastes. but for some reason i just can't get angry at it (not like any of those were good reasons to vote poorly anyhow). it was done quite well, there was nothing wrong with it from a technical standpoint - all the sound effects and animation synced nicely together. it was corny, but intentionally so, and carried it well. if other people start doing this, i hope that the would be made in the same caliber as this.
good job.

KobraEditing responds:

Thanks...I know it may look simple, but this was A LOT of work. I had to go through every frame and erase parts of the things I was "holding" so that my hands would be in front. That is 30 frames per second. A lot of frames. Oh and getting the movement to match with my own was tough too.

[Jitters]

good potential here

now this fascinated me. i'm not going to go into some rant about the plot, theme, or substance of it. because i didn't even understand that. but the art direction was really interesting. while the 'sloppiness' of the short turned off a lot of people, if you watch the movie all the way through you do notice some very well executed transitions and effects that definitely separate this from most flash of this artistic caliber. the face disappearing from the window, the crow, the burning effects - particularly the eye, and the visions behind the eyelids were all very well done and show a lot of directorial merit. while this may not impress most, i can tell that there's a great deal of potential to be had in this, and your future submissions. if you intend to make anymore. the only segments that seemed like they could use improvement were the text and the actual burning sound effect. the text scrolled by too fast and because of the way it was written i could have dwelled on it more. also the sound effect for the burning blocked some of the music, that could have been better if it was toned down more. other than that, i think this was great and shows good promise!

Twist responds:

Thank you for the very insightful review! I would like to say that the somewhat suddeness of the sound effects was intended (along with it drowning out the music) however I definately see how it could be a problem, so thank you. I also agree the text should have lasted slightly longer.

[Heinous Anus Zone]

hate to fight that boss

i'm gonna bitch about your pacing again. just a warning.

i gotta say, that may just be the boost the sonic industry has been looking for. you did get the level consistencies down pat'. i just don't get it though, you spend an exorbitant amount of time compiling commentary, ideas, and extras into each cartoon, but the actual "toon" itself seems so rushed. no no no, not the episode length - the pacing of the episodes. you sound like you're racing through your own lines to get to the end, asap. by contrast, its good to see that the other incidental characters usually are the opposite, the slowness of their speech helps balance out your near-incomprehensible speed-reading.
i love gratuitous Mr. T as much as the next person, but you're not really pulling off the random, 4th wall cameo-style humour real well yet. good luck with that i guess. on the plus side, you've got excellent lip syncing capabilities there, especially impressive.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Hm, I'm not sure. I tend to like my fast speaking capabilities. I can see how it could be perceived as annoying or tacky though, I guess. And Mr. T... I don't know, I like putting him in animations. He's always been a favorite topic of mine. I can see how it'd feel a little forced, I guess. Hopefully I develop in better ways in the future, who knows. Thanks for taking the time to view my work.

HIGTIWTTE

Everything you said about the movie was completely factual, i'll give you that. I've been blessed to keep one of my lives safely away from those movie seats with jailbait snail trails, instead i know twilight's crappiness because my cousin willed herself to finish the book under pain of death, and i was the only one within earshot of her pleas for a quick death. so YES, you succeeded in intent, but i just can't give you a high score for your execution. no, i'm not talkin' bout the cuttin corners with the art, i didn't even notice that. its... the voice acting, you speed through all your lines so you can pull off these crescendos to impact the "punchline". its like the audio equivalent of a brainfreeze. and there's thousands of them in these!! this one did have less dead space in the dialogue though compared to some other episodes you've done. sometimes it seems really forced that you set up lines for particular characters so they feel like they've constantly got one-liners for every situation. its sitcom-like, but it goes against the setup you do for all your toons, the 'hidden camera on my life' thing. i dunno. the characterizational humour is too much, and the delivery is too fast.

i'd definitely go for the unused intro audio next time. pterydactyl voice? i thought you were trying to go for the "i can belch the alphabet" voice... without actually having the skill of belching the alphabet....voice...

Bobert-Rob responds:

Well, sorry the quick wit of the lines was a little unbelievable to you. And yeah, a lot of the lines are spoken kind of fast... apologies. I'll have to see what I can do to improve upon the audio end. Glad you enjoyed what did of it, though.

[Athiest Flipside]

witnessing denial

aww... i wish we had solicitors and telemarketers again. mum took us off their list and put no soliciting signs by our door. i never have company anymore!
the voice acting wasn't bad, it seemed a little hasty in certain parts though, i think the briskness - during the punchline and whispering - kept it from being more comprehensible. the animation was suitable though. pretty darn good animation i'd say

IzakFlashMan responds:

aww shucks. To kind.
and I gotta learn timing. My cartoons generally do things insanely quick, Its poor design on my part.

[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

beautiful.

i was having an argument with someone who didn't find this at all funny. people need to understand that not all comedy out there is meant to be spoon fed with cockjokes and parodies. some things are funny just for how trivial it is in REAL LIFE. its just that newgrounds isnt known for having people with experience in/with real life...
i like this, this kind of 'incidental' humour. it can be painfully dull when it isn't done right, but this was executed perfectly for itself, the animation was stunningly fluid and articulate, yet simple. i love the palette of tones used. this could definitely stand alone, but it would be wonderful to see this as the pilot for a series....? please?

sexysexybicycle responds:

Thanks so much! I know that there are people that will not find this thing the least bit funny. And to be honest, I'm not too tiffed. I'm a strong believer that humor (and art for that matter) is COMPLETELY subjective. That's part of what makes comedy so great. Different people laugh at different things. That's why I don't think anyone can say something is or isn't funny. Even if someone tells a "bad" joke, there is someone out there somewhere who will laugh at it.

Glad you thought it was funny though! Thanks for the review.

[Bold As Love]

ick, john mayer covered it??

jimi must be rolling over in his grave.

interesting angles, a little heavy on the blur filter. the blur tool really makes an impact when the intended focus object remains sharp and the setting is blurred but too often it was both. still it was some pretty nice work to a pretty cool song

GloineFiodh responds:

Thanks a lot sucho, now I need to buy that calendar.
