Boss's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nose Picking]

I really liked this but I think one thing that can turn people off is when the video is like 50 60 seconds in length, and the intro cards are 20 seconds, comprising almost half the movie. that being said i loved the intro card sequence and I would say the contents of the movie being a little longer might help it. I think the pacing of the intro cards were really good, and the pacing of the statue of liberty scene onwards was really good. I think when the finger went to his nose the sound was a little awkward and the pink tunnel effect was a little awkward, in comparison to the rest of the scenes. also i noticed as the finger falls into the hole it kind of makes it look like it detaches from the hand, another small detail that might come across as awkward to someone. the finger tunneling through the nose is a really funny idea but is sort of slowly paced and disengaging maybe, although i did find it kind of funny. I think something else that I found funny was how the finger knocked down the two characters inside the nose, and the way they just fell off the screen, but i think conventionally viewers might also see that as a little odd or less eye grabbing. I think the atmosphere was really fucking eerie funny and cool and seeing that it was a zappa song at the end I was like ohhh nice! Another thing that maybe would meld the whole project together would be when he bites giving it sort of a crunch, the frame by frame animation right there was astounding but with no sound effect it doesnt grab you as much, and it looks like he is taking a massive crunch, so grab the viewer. That all being said, this was really great and there was a lot of really nice smooth and cleanly drawn characters and motion here

Kutaykomiks responds:

You mentioned really good points that I haven't even noticed, but now I see that they would really move the cartoon further. Thanks for taking your time to review it! Always nice to see another Zappa fan :)

[DMX Meets David Bowie]

hilarious and I think the messiness really adds to the charm. this is really unique. if I was DMX'd out at 2am right now i would probably leave a long rambling review but just wanted to say that this was really awesome, the way it all progressed was funny and the plots awkwardness also added a lot to the charm as well, where if it took itself too seriously it wouldn't have been such a homage to the concept that it is. also of course pretty hilarious that theyre playing sonic and dmx is telling bowie to slow down. i think the colors of their bodies and the cut and paste elements of everything also really brings it together, this is awesome

Aaron-Long responds:

Thanks a lot man! glad to hear somebody else liked it, I can't tell if this is actually funny or if it's just me.

[Don't Buy The Beard Hat]

You seem big salty because you didn't like the beard hat and the theme of this while it may be comedy, basically neglects the responsibility to denounce the redneck/lumberjack culture takeover of beards and the obvious fact that beards need to get washed more often because they are hubs for bacteria. Possibly you have neglected people in your life who are hubs for microbacteria of strains that cause these actions and you need to watch yourself and clean your stubble. Anyways, I think this video atleast can tell me that you disagree with men with beards who ALSO have man bun's hair choices and that we can agree upon. I basically will offer no other constructive criticism because at the current point in time I don't have any incentive to see you succeed in any way other than doing a bit better than getting the necessities and life and bettering yourself which everyone at their core deserves.

You could consider me a dick for taking a comedy cartoon too seriously and literally evaluating the moral basis of it or you could consider the fact that so far everyone else has given a nice review and a short almost emotionless comment basically reflecting as well as indicating that nobody thought too much about this cartoon or cared to consider where the artist as a human was actually coming from and why they made what they made in the way they made it. So if I am doing that, and probably no one else will do that is what it seems like at this point, and if they hit the same word count may not even be touching upon a fraction of the same point and understanding I achieve here because I actually desire to see you grow as a human, then who should you really listen to and consider? unless you're someone who just doesn't want to listen to anything except for what you like to hear anyways, which is one of the great downfalls of youth culture to a certain extent.

Anyways I could have misinterpreted this in some way, someone who worked on this could have had a beard and taken it in good stride and humor and I just look like a dick, but really, consider the true elements behind the decisions you make.

I just wanted to make a silly cartoon man, now you got me thinking 'bout life.

[animated stories | The Pop-Up Tent | S1 E3]

the sound the tent made when expanding combined with its animation specifically grabbed my attention more than most of the rest of the video, something about that scene made it seemed very simple but perfect, the whispering voice apologizing to will was actually very hilarious and well done, great job.

the storyboard unanimated aspect of this is probably part of what gave this such good pacing and made it seem more sophisticated despite overall leaving a desire to have seen a video with a longer middle section, still the length has a charm to it as well. it takes a little more focus to get into something sort of unanimated but it works

doctorben123 responds:

OMG!!! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that comment means to me considering it is the nicest comment I have ever gotten from a person I don't know personally. Thank you so much.

[idiot 2.0]

I like all of th psychedelic color-scapes, the sort of stage like presentation and the mixed media approach. Using video of mouth is a neat device but dont let it be a crutch, focusing on frame by frame lip syncing or setting up a system of different images for frames of lips for certain sounds and matching them up moment by moment can be very rewarding

HarrisonWyrick responds:

thank you! :0

[Just Being RJ Episode 2]

omfg we love your cartoons WillieD!!! I am glad that the dad told the kids to eat vegetables but, without knowing the precise ages of the characters of the kids, and with pizza not being the most unhealthy thing ever I suppose, it almost made me sad to see the tiffany character told by both of her family members that she would get fat because she wants pizza, although it made for a really funny video. So glad to see the animation progress! You deserved the daily 5th that you got, this was a dope video!

RogersEntertainment responds:
