Sasquash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SecretAgentRege in Dr.BO]

Poor

That was bad.

You see, you think that making old, cliched, stupid jokes like "How did I get my clothes back? Oh well..." is funny. Unfortunately, it's not.

I was going to be rude about it, but I know it's not worth it, so let me tell you what I really think.

I think that if you were to attempt to make a second episode, you would do just as poor a job, if not poorer. As such, either don't make another one, or, think about it a lot harder before you do.

You need to have a good sense of humour to do funny things. This is, unfortunately, something you just don't have.

You don't realise it, but it will definitely help you now and later on for you to hear this.

SecretAgentRege responds:

Well, you are entitled to your own opinion, unfortunately it just doesn't agree with most everyone else. I guess I just can't stop a second one for the few of you that don't like it.

Thanks for the review and not being rude and dropping some help instead!

[Los Dias Sin Dias]

Give a one-loin summary of your revue

The style was nice, the animation was smooth, the music was fitting.

The only thing left is the message...

I got mixed messages from this piece.

Obviously I don't understand straight away, and will have to go and think about it for a while, but until then, here's what I got:

First, the french quote. I don't know what the word "lyre" means. Google suggests that it means "Quadrant", but otherwise, this quote says "Stronger than alcohol (the French for alcohol is alcool, by the way), more vast than our (Quadrants?), fermenting the bitter stains of love!". I don't know what this means. It could be describing the feeling of dying, at the point where, just before you die, you suddenly love everyone. This seems to be what the movie is about. A boy or man is hospitalized with some kind of (terminal?) illness, and is having delusions. During these delusions, he falls into a sleep where he is a foul, ugly creature who slobbers and drools. He is visited by a girl who seems to love him unconditionally. She dances for him, ends his restlessness, and gives him a scarf (for warmth? comfort?).

She then goes to the window to make shadow puppets, as if she is making a symbol to the shadowy creatures in the yard to come inside. They do, and the boy/man's skin breaks and out of comes a butterfly/angel who is then stabbed by one of the shadowy creatures from the yard. He seems to be struggling with the scarf(?) before this happens.

He wakes up, and it turns out he had just been jabbed with a needle(?). The doctors turn out to be gentle and happy, and the last thing we see is the face of the girl, smiling.

Could this be indicative of the mental struggle that goes on in a person's mind before they reach the final stage before death (the final stage being acceptance, where the person loves everyone around him/her fully and accepts their fate and dies happily)?

The quote at the end seems to indicate this, or something like it, and yet, if the quote at the end applies, then it suggests that the doctors were, in fact, giving the boy/man a lethal injection (taking away his life and freeing him from Earth). It doesn't quite fit, does it (with the smiling)?

A response would be good.

Thanks for your time.

Scarydoll responds:

The point is that you are trying to analize the movie literally. Try to think of it as a metaphor. Or... well, nevermind ;)

[Davedreams]

That's it?

You know, I accidentally voted 0 for this movie because I had just watched "Gil Quest" and was on this page when I decided to vote for it.

Now, after watching that, I don't regret voting 0 for this film because that's what I would have done anyway.

It's not a bad little movie, by the way. I actually would have liked it, if it wasn't for the fact that it's (as of me writing this review) on the front page, that the first review I saw of it suggested that the movie "had meaning", and that the front page description of this movie, along with the picture of the movie being black and white, implied that it was a deep and meaningful one.

You reckon it's unfair?

This is the reason why the public didn't like The Matrix Reloaded.

Sasquash

PS. Death by a concussive blow to the head (after Dave removes his helmet) would have been a better ending to this movie.

Sundial responds:

YAY! finally a bad review. I dont understand your review. You dont like it because it had meaning? huh? And I loved the matrix reloaded. And if you like the ending that you suggested, you'd like my other movie, "Nick jackson's vengeance" it has a sorta abrupt and violent ending too. Seeya.

[The Coming of Megaman]

Please tell me

Hey either respond to the review or please e-mail me at [e-mail] and please tell me how you apply that effect to the voices.

Thanks.

[BLAMMO]

Not too bad

Well, the point gets across quite well. Also, I liked the use of irony, stupidity and parody.

Still, it wasn't outstanding. The sound could have been better, as could have been the graphics.

Also, I didn't get the part with Jesus. Maybe I'm just a stoopid head.

Anyway, the point is, you get 4 from me. Or maybe 3. I dunno.

Good work!

FreshLaundry responds:

People have misunderstood Jesus' message and they still kill, steal, and discriminate in his name. So he was making a flash movie to explain to the people of Earth how to live in peace and happiness; the ultimate solution to all the world's problems.

Unfortunately, he chose to post it to newgrounds.com and it got blammed away by kids who didn't understand it.

[SF 1 - CHANGE]

Short. Sweet?

Heh heh. Okay, the script was pretty weak, but the point got across. Also, the graphics were AMAZINGly well done.

I just hope the non-stick one was a racist comment about Australians. I don't think it was, because no American could do an Australian accent like that.

StenFLASH responds:

Thanks for your compliments.

I guess you didn't check my profile though. I am an Australian and there was no racist comment in there that I could see.

[Detective Frofrog]

What can I say.

Okay, I collected all 9 eggs. Was that thing's name Skerrel, Skegrel or Skefrel?

Anyway, the point is, the music was good, the ambient noise was good and the voices were okay.

The backgrounds were okay, the characters were okay, the storyline was okay bordering on poor.

Also, it wasn't funny, except when the bartender said Whatsaname drank like "A Coque à Liqueur" even though it wasn't Liqueur, it was some other word starting with Min...

Final point: If you have to think about a joke before you put it down as laboriously as you said you did, it isn't funny.

McRhyme responds:

SKERREL (almost like squirrel). You thought the liqueur thing was funny. I bet you're from France or Italy or Spain.
