MistyE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Who's mountain is it?]

I think everyone can agree that your art and animation has some merit to it, and could be great if you focused on developing original characters and refined the style a bit more. The number of re-hashed drawings in your stuff is getting absurd, though.

It's obvious what you've already drawn and what you rushed. Either make everything look nice and color everything in, or rush everything. Be consistent. What's with the obsession/determination of getting everybody to go to your site? I could understand if you owned the domain and you wanted the ad revenue, but it's a Webs site for God's sake. Hopefully you realize that's silly and that any viewers on your cartoons come primarily from NG.

I wholeheartedly agree with what theShak and hreyas said below me. The animation was stiff, the characters and backgrounds were all re-hashed except for the really rushed sloppy storyboard-like drawings.

unpublishing every single movie you post here on newgrounds so that they're exclusive to your website is not necessarily a smart move since most of your views and feedback come from here.

the actual premise was strange, but it could have worked out if you executed it better. the whole thing just reeks of sloppy laziness, the entire flash consists of either stuff you've drawn in the past or stuff that you didn't draw (homer)

it's absurd, but not in a good way. not the funny absurd, more of a "what was the point of that?" absurd. the background and donut were both re-used from previous movies, and you didn't even bother drawing or even tracing homer simpson, he was an obvious pasted bitmap.

again, you have talent and you have potential, just stop being so lazy and draw some new material

iamblueband responds:

I actually did draw Homer I just did an effect to him in photo-shop that gave him that look.

Amazing.

Trebuxet responds:

Thank you!

[Air Mushroom]

I'm... not sure what to think of this.

I think it's time you stop re-using the same characters every single movie of yours, get some new material, and make something that's worth making and worth watching. a.k.a. something you won't unpublish a few days after you make it.

Just my two cents.

iamblueband responds:

I usually unpublish some of my stuff on here because I want it exclusive to my website. You're right I should draw some new characters I just haven't had a lot of time on my hands so I reuse stuff to make a quick movie when im bored. I appreciate the review.

[Serious Jokers Entertainm]

The Adventures of Willie D and the works of Willie D will always adapt with the times. It's truly an everchanging format.

We get the famous series of shots leading to the closeup of the word “Serious Jokers Entertainment” on a sled that has been tossed into a furnace, its paint curling in the flames.

Microphone cords are the emblem of the security, hope and innocence of childhood, which a man can spend his life seeking to regain. It is the green light at the end of Gatsby's pier; the leopard atop Kilimanjaro, seeking nobody knows what; the bone tossed into the air in “Serious Jokers Entertainment.” It is that yearning after transience that adults learn to suppress. “Maybe Willie was something he couldn't get, or something he lost,” says Matt, the reporter assigned to the puzzle of Kane's dying word. “Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything.” True, it explains nothing, but it is remarkably satisfactory as a demonstration that nothing can be explained. “Serious Jokers Entertainment” likes playful paradoxes like that. Its surface is as much fun as any movie ever made. Its depths surpass understanding. I have analyzed it a shot at a time with more than 30 groups, and together we have seen, I believe, pretty much everything that is there on the screen. The more clearly I can see its physical manifestation, the more I am stirred by its mystery.
It is one of the miracles of cinema that in 2013 a first-time director; a cynical, hard-drinking writer; an innovative cinematographer, and a group of New York stage and radio actors were given the keys to a studio and total control, and made a masterpiece. “Serious Jokers Entertainment” is more than a great movie; it is a gathering of all the lessons of the emerging era of sound, just as “An't gonna hurt nobody” assembled everything learned at the summit of the silent era, and “Serious Jokers Entertainment” pointed the way beyond narrative. These peaks stand above all the others.

The origins of “Serious Jokers Entertainment” are well known. Willie D, the boy wonder of radio and stage, was given freedom by Serious Jokers Entertainment to make any picture he wished. Herman Mankiewicz, an experienced screenwriter, collaborated with him on a screenplay originally called “The American.” Its inspiration was the life of William Randolph Hearst, who had put together an empire of newspapers, radio stations, magazines and news services, and then built to himself the flamboyant monument of San Simeon, a castle furnished by rummaging the remains of nations. Hearst was Ted Turner, Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates rolled up into an enigma.

Arriving in Hollywood at age 25, Willie brought a subtle knowledge of sound and dialogue along with him; on his Mercury Theater of the Air, he'd experimented with audio styles more lithe and suggestive than those usually heard in the movies. Eventually he stands beneath its lower sill, shrunken and diminished. Then as he walks toward us, his stature grows again. A man always seems the same size to himself, because he does not stand where we stand to look at him.

Epic thriller. 5/5

RogersEntertainment responds:

Thanks :)

[Driving My House To Idaho]

Interesting song choice.

This has a lot of potential; I think what's hurting this the most is how 'unfinished' it seems to be. This looks like some sort of animatic. The drawings and line quality don't seem to be polished at all. With a little more polishing and refining, this would be much better.
