Lohkie's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Galaxy PoliceSquad 3]

Your outlines are way too heavy at times.

Kel-chan responds:

they're done that way for a stylistic approach

[Generic Protagonist #1]

Just wanted to point out

90001 isn't the joke.

9001 is "over nine thousand"

90001 is "over ninety thousand"

[Links Cucco encounter-P1]

Animation Issues

I just wanted to make a point that in the beginning of the animation you are trying to make it look like Link is walking forward, but the background floor is panning forward, which gives the effect that he is instead walking backwards.

Additionally, when showing link and the chicken from the side, you pan both the foreground and background grass at the same rate, which defeats any degree of parallax, pan the back grass at a slower rate to generate a better visual.

Thanks for the helping advice. :) I'll keep it all to mind. thanks for the review. ^^

[The Ugly Duck]

For the love of god, explain this for us.

I'm pretty sure EVERYONE caught the child abuse resurfacing whatnot which results in some kind of psychotic break to kill the abusive father (figure)...

But the rest of the flash most likely has too convoluted of a meaning to you, as the artist, personally, and the conveyance of that meaning is lost outside of a narrative of some form.

First, why in god's name was the guy PUNCHING the baby? I can understand shaking it and getting a bit aggrevated, but unless you're suggesting that in the future (or present, as the case may be) that violent gamers who throw things in a fit will physically batter their children to death, this seems to be a bit out there.

Second, what precisely motivates this guy to then take the child? While this isn't specifically that hard to assume, it's chronological and merely open to interpretation, which voids the meaning of it if no one knows what it is supposed to mean.

Third, why is it that the first thing the man does following is head to the toilets with the seemingly appeased or otherwise simply not unhappy baby?

Fourth--and by far the most pertinent--why was the child put in the toilet, starting it crying once more, prompting the... protagonist to sit on the toilet and wimper/beg/wish/hope for the baby to be quiet?

I honestly hope that this was merely an artistic endevour and that you aren't a psyche major with a facination with independent films... because simply being ambiguous and full of allusions and metaphors doesn't make something good, aside from the pretentious world of artistic BS...

So if this was merely art . . . please esplain D:

I think many of us would like to know not only the meaning itself, but the origins and motivations for its creation and what meaning it should have to the viewers...

It is my personal feeling that, from reading many of the other reviews, too many people are simply taking in the "dark" nature of all things in it and are merely "disturbed" out of dissonance of a pure lack of anything else to think or feel... and unless that was the intent of the piece, it would be nice to alleviate such misconstrued feelings.

JeremyLokken responds:

He sits on the toilet, with the baby beneath him, as a duck would sit on its egg. He uses the toilet as his own nest. His egg is the already abused baby that he knows can have a better life than the one he grew up with (as seen in the flashback). I thought it was pretty clear, a very simple story without a happy ending.

[The Worminator]

Originality? what?

Not the greatest graphics, but original and humorous.

Funny that Sir_Grim seems to not be able to read... oh well.

Also, might want to credit the worms game itself for some of your sounds :D

Tasty-Turnips responds:

What? What sounds? My friend did the "Oh Deary Me!", and I got all the other sounds from flashkit and my vocal chords. You mean you thought I used the "Oh deary me" from the game? Or that I owe Team 17 for the originality of the sound? If you were thinking the first option, then thanks, you've given my friend high praise! lol :D Anyway, thanks for the review, and Worms : Armageddon is THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!! Did you hear that, T17? Thanks again mate.

[MK : 3 Fatality Backfires]

Prolem!

funny but I found a real problem :D

In the Nightwolf one, Kabal's life bar reads Kano... so... that needs fixing...

Otherwise, a mix of funny and stupid.

Jimbo-Limbo responds:

That has been fixed, but apparently it will take a few days to upgrade due to the amount of views it has.

Thanks for reviewing!

[I Love Paragonx9]

Nice

I was expecting crap, because of the low rating but damn.

A for effort, so it's affort now... or afford? you should get paid? I dunno.

I guess it takes a raver's appreciation of the totally random, yet not random at all, syncing of stuff to electronic sound.

If you have the patience to redraw every one of these things, you're already a step up on most people in general.

timlikescookies responds:

For some reason it got a low score...

[Legend without Zelda BOD1]

ehh...

I couldn't even make myself watch the whole thing -_-

It could have been funny, but Navi talking with a human voice... yeah, not so much >.>

RogerregoRRoger responds:

so your saying next movie i should have Navi make carhonks sounds or something?
