"I'm getting sick of these."

submission: The word " Fuck "

date: September 14, 2003

If only one person would make a GOOD movie out of this audio, I would be greatly relieved, instead of these mediocre and possibly stolen videos.

To respond to your comments:

1.) Seth ( Z3RO-exe ), based his movie off of my original drawings.

Okay.

2.) I did not steal anything, I drew everything from scratch and by myself.

Okay, but you could have put more work into it. I'll go into that a bit more after.

3.) THE SOUND IS NOT MINE! I don't know who made it, but I found it off the internet, so it isn't theft you dumbass newbs who think it is.

It's by George Carlin. Most people claim it's by Monty Python, but that's just some idiot who mis-labled it on Kazaa. I've never heard anyone ascribe it to "Theft," that's just stupid.

4.) I am not racist, any term to African Americans is because I'M FUCKING BLACK!
With this said and done, enjoy the movie

As usual, it was entertaining because of the great audio, but I must say your part of the video (the graphics) left a bit to be desired. Still, it's different from the others (e.g. not completely the same and stolen), but it consists of two, maybe three layers: a guy with no lip synching, the scratches on the projector screen to represent the poor quality of the tape reel film, and of course, the heart of the film, the visuals to match the audios. It's a good idea, but you could really have spent a little more time on this and made it much better, but still, good work, not very original, but you can't be blamed for a logical and good choice of audio. Good job, keep it up.

"Good movie. Front page? No, but good movie."

submission: Alice

Incredulous Review: (a.k.a. "Why is this on the front page?")

This movie, as far as I can tell, consists of:

• Good music not by you (not like you claimed it was).
• Imported photographs (backgrounds) - also no real effort by you.
• Extremely poor graphics, which attempt to use twitching lines to make up for real animation.
• Photoshop mosaic effect on imported photographs.
• Tracing of photographs in flash.

Like a circle painted on canvas that sells for millions if by a famous painter but is wallpaper by any other artist, this movie is not even close to front-page material, but yet here it is.

I must admit I'm being over-critical. If this wasn't on the front page, I would enjoy it as yet another cute movie in the portal. It is enjoyable, and makes you think a little. HOWEVER, it is TOTALLY out of place on the front page, and it irks me that it would make it there simply by its author. Hence my spite. Good movie, otherwise. Absolutely not even close to the best material on NG, but absolutely not shit, either.

Non-incredulous Review: (as if it weren't on the front page)

I stated that the graphics and animations were pretty weak, but it's certainly not by lack of ability. While they didn't add to it, they didn't detract to much, either.

The music was an excellent choice, and good, properly accredited music never counts against you, and in this case made the movie quite enjoyable.

Interactivity, Violence, and Humor aren't really applicable, but this isn't a bad thing, merely the nature of the entry. It has aspects that made me smile, though (3/10 humor), and while there wasn't any violence per se, the deranged nature warranted a 1/10 - but both of those scores, and the 0 for interactivity, are irrelevant in the overall score and affect of the movie.

The style is the big plus for this movie, for it is EXTREMELY original, and very entertaining, and also meaningful (well, not meaningful in the sense of deserving analysis for decades by historians and English teachers, but enough to make you think).

All-in-all, a good movie (8/10), but over-hyped (through no fault of your own). Worth seeing, but not on the front page. Good job, keep it up.

"The only good part of this movie"

submission: Chimpmunk Rap

date: July 10, 2003

Is the sound you didn't make or have permission to use - but at least you credited it.

The graphics are pathetic. Good audio from other sources do not forgive terrible graphics. Don't even bother submitting part 2 if it's as bad as this.

And to whom it may concern, the audio comes from this NG flash entry:

"Attn: Fatblimp23"

submission: Mega Man Bosses

date: July 10, 2003

Yes, they have submitted this movie in many forms again and again, only for it to be blammed. It is NOT stolen, just so you know - they are the ones that have been working on it.

I also gave this movie a 3, and I think it will pass this time - you changed the layout so it's not just some crazy movie, but now it flows. Good job. Funny concept, and fairly well executed. Consider adding sounds and/or background music to ease the flow of the show.

"Fun, entertaining, simple game."

submission: AB: 30K Starfighter

date: July 10, 2003

First off, this game would be made much better by the addition of a "Pause" feature, such as by hitting "P" on the keyboard to toggle pause/play.

The file-size alone makes the game easily enjoyable, and while I love side-scrolling games such as this for their simplicity, adding more can never hurt. The bonus-ups and enemies are a great idea, but they are fairly limited in terms of what they COULD be - but the basics are all there, so this is an excellent game, but I'm sure that, if you wanted to, you could make a fantastic one worthy of the top 50.

submission: Tetris "Flash re-birth"

What, exactly, did you to do modernize it?

It's yet another tetris game, which you probably stole from http://www.pietronics.nl or just edited the general template which is EVERYWHERE.

If you are interested in making games, do something original, and if you want to "modernize" something, you have to change something, and you have to make it yourself.

"There's not much to review"

submission: Synj Fan Challange

date: July 8, 2003

because it's not a conventional flash entry, but it's still well-done for its purpose, it could be better by doing any of the following:
• Adding more questions and randomizing the 15 that you see
• Adding more answers to questions and randomizing the 4 that you see
• Correct the bug/error/cheat whereby one can simply skip/pass a question by selecting "Play" or "Forward" from the right-click drop-down menu.

That said, nice game. Here's answers for those too lazy to cheat or brute-force it:

1.) Dan
2.) Animation
3.) Animator
4.) San Deigo
5.) synj.net
6.) 11
7.) 5
8.) 12

"I love animutations"

submission: .:-=Revenge=-:.

date: July 6, 2003

And this one is no exception. Enjoyable music coupled with imaginative, original, and highly entertaining graphics makes a great, great film...

I loved the touch of adding the plane from Hyakugojyuuichi!! - one of the original and still best animutations.

Nice song choice, too. I hope you plan on blessing the portal with more animutations, they're one of my favorite flash genres. Sure, the grapics from most are crappy, but the portal is about entertainment, not graphics, and as far as entertainment goes, animutations like this are the answer!

"Nothing happens"

submission: When World's Collide

After loading completely, the loading loop does not gracefully proceed, nor is there a way to manipulate it with "play," "loop," "rewind," or "forward" - you may want to look into that.

Score: 4

"First of all,"

submission: The Quiji Board

date: July 3, 2003

I had to right-click and select play in order to do such... perhaps you should add a play button after it completes loading?

That said, I would dramatically improve the quality of your graphics (more specifically, of your animations and lack thereof) - and then, improving the sound quality would be desireable, but isn't as necessary.
