Farmageddon's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Castle III part B]

This is getting exciting!

You know your castle just about as well as Adam Phillips knows his forest. Great atmosphere! The depth in background is very much above average. I praise your use of architectural details.
However, I cringe slightly at what in my humble opinion is the characters' poor planning in exploring the castle. What would be more foolhardy than sending just about everyone (or at least the bulk of the group) to rush into an unexplored, complex enemy structure with a non-combative scientist at the vanguard? This would lead to a whole bunch of bloodshed once the unseen enemy comes out. I nonetheless hope that's what happens, a massacre.
I'll definitely be watching the next chapter to find out.

Get-lost responds:

You bloodthirsty beast :D Thanks

[Imaginary Friend]

Wow, that guy is a big loser.

Instead of a guy who makes an imaginary friend, gets married, makes a family, and lives a ordinary life, how about you make a movie about something badass. Something like a biker that goes around killing pedophiles and werewolves or just something more interesting. Just an idea.

The guy was too much of a Average Pussy Joe for me to like him that much. He didn't really accomplish anything noteworthy, and his ordinary lifestyle is not one that I'd endorse.
The imaginary friend was kind of a one-dimensional background character or even an extra because he didn't actually do anything. What's weird is that in "Imaginary Friend" the imaginary friend spends two thirds of his screen time as a blue blob that just follows the guy around. If it were me, I'd make the imaginary friend a big asshole who just continually harasses the guy, even when he wants to settle down with his wife and his stupid job - hilarity then ensues.

I didn't like the music.

Overall, the movie left me with a sense of loss instead of achievement or satisfaction at the resolution. Work on plot and character development!

By the way, my imaginary friend said the movie was actually not that bad. However, because he's imaginary, that counts for nothing.

Bad-Atom responds:

The guy was supposed to lead an ordinary life. Sometimes an ordinary life can be very fulfilling, especially considering he had a good job, a happy marriage, and three children.

And the imaginary friend *was* doing something. He was staying with his creator. It may not have have made a measurable difference, but he was there.

And if the movie left you with a sense of loss, that was the point. Not every story has a happy ending.

It seems like you were looking for something different from this, but that's not what I was going for.

[TANKMEN]

I DESIRE A SEQUEL.

That was so well made!

Graphics and Style:
-Style and color consistent with Newgrounds.
-Great character design, well suited for humor.
-Love the animating. Professionally done, not all puppet tweens.
Sound:
It was great how you did different voices and I could distinguish among all the characters. What also set you apart was how you didn't try to be over-the-top with the voice acting.
The music establishes a great background.
Violence:
I like how the screaming guy in the background got shot.
Humor:
Great script, nice character interaction, very funny!

Such a professional piece of work is rare. Great job. (I liked your Opie and Anthony stuff as well as the K-FED game, too.)

JohnnyUtah responds:

THANK YOU SIR!

[Fred the Notable Monkey]

You're a self-important ass.

The flash was decently made, and you can rant and bitch about how Wikipedia deletes the entries about "aspiring artists" (mainly yours). That doesn't mean that you have a right to a spot on Wikipedia. Wikipedia's goal is to provide a free, comprehensive, and convenient encyclopedia for all to enjoy. With its popularity, you probably have no idea how much money it costs to run. But we all take it for granted because it's an awesome service that everyone can participate in.
When people start putting in entries of every piece of insignificant crap that shows up on the web, Wikipedia's going to need a lot more money to run being weighed down like a mule forced to carry shit.
Your cartoons are average; they aren't bad but not great either. They don't push the envelope or offer viewers anything they haven't seen before. A talking animal with a squeaky voice. A weird green creature. Situational Comedy.
The internet phenomena on Wikipedia such as Keyra Agustina, the Star Wars Kid, Goatse.cx, and Numa Numa Dance all have had a novel appeal that internet users never saw before. That's why they are so popular. That's why they are on Wikipedia. Your cartoon doesn't have the aforementioned quality of novelty, nor does it have the fanbase of cult artists such as illWillPress. That's why Wikipedia users rightfully designate your shit as unworthy.

Go ahead. Tell me I'm wrong and why you're so great. Don't give me that crap about starving artists. I read my replies.

JKR responds:

Well I certainly won't tell you you're wrong and "I'm so great" because that isn't the point of my cartoon. Perhaps you missed it. I frankly couldn't care less if FredtheMonkey.com gets a Wikipedia entry or not, now or in the future. It is not myself I am trying to help here.
I am upset because I was not aware previously of the methods Wikipedia uses for deleting entries. As an artist, seeing people tell me "You fail" and "You are non-notable and not worth the time of day" is not something I enjoy. And while I can take it- they are their opinions after all- I know many young artists would be devastated by such things. There are better ways of going about telling people they need to keep working. Much better ways.
I'm sorry you did not see the reason this cartoon was made, and got the wrong idea. I'm sure if you search through most anything I've ever written (reviews, replies, message board posts) you will see that I am far from a "self-important ass" and mostly strive to make other people happy either through my own cartoons or with helpful comments towards other people's work. I personally feel we'd all be a lot better off helping each other rather than telling one another "You suck!" and leaving it at that.
Thank you for taking the time to write your thoughts, I appriciate the work you put into your review. I hope you enjoy the next Fred cartoon more. =)

[sheepfleece]

Love the Jewish accent!

This is so funny and adorable. Don't listen to the people who say you rip off Seinfeld. The format is fucking great. Did you use Cararra?

zipahead responds:

nope all max

[-MASS-]

In the words of the fanboy reviewers, "SO TRUE!!!"

Man, I hate that bunny man. He has no talent and tries to be edgy by capitalizing on current "hot topic" issues that he knows nothing about. Then dumbasses too ignorant to come up with their opinions buy all the bunny man's "tell it like it is" opinions and his dumb t-shirts, proclaiming their everlasting worship to his works. These morons then leave shitty reviews of the bunny man's shitty works, saying things like "I AGGREE" and "LMAO SO TRUEEEE!!!!" then proceeding to sucking the bunny man's shriveled dick like the toady pinheads that they are.

What's so great about a bunny with a high pitched voice and a stupid female goth companion? "Oh I am so outragious, buy my t-shirts." NO, BUNNY MAN. You go kill yourself for making your dumbass unfunny bunny with your fake angst rants. "Oh this bunny movie makes fun of outsourcing to India." "Oh this bunny movie consists of a single frame picture and a long, unfunny, insincere rant about the recent tidal wave tragedy." FUCK YOU, BUNNY MAN. FUCK YOU AND YOUR DUMBASS FANBOYS. Aww, shucks. I do hate that bunny.

Props to you for coming up with the great idea. That flower guy was kinda gay though. Maybe he should have started doing hentai... ;D

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

Beleive me I considered it! X-D
But the song wasnt long enough!

[Seven Episode III -SKY-]

So unbearably shit-slow!

Jesus rape fucking Christ on a stick! Why did you make it that slow? It's like watching ice melt while listening to a horrible soundtrack!

Your artwork was great, but for some reason you felt it necessary to make a slideshow rather than an animation. A static (meaning stationary, not referring to your drawn out lightning sequences) frame should not linger on for more than 5 seconds. And it's a fatherfucking FIGHT. Fight as in BAM BAM BAM, I'm kicking ass, not fight as in let's pretend we're sloths in a fucking slowest-person-wins contest on a river of knee-deep molasses.

Remember, we don't need 10 seconds to read 2 words.

Make more, but length down to at least a third.

Black-Crystal responds:

hm...pple will always complain when something is either getting too fast or getting too slow...but then i will try to meet the requirements...

[Mitch Hedberg Tribute]

Loser

Hey dumbass. I'm a big fan of Hedberg. You just suck at making a tribute. Don't blame us, nutface.

HendrixOnAcid949 responds:

Uh...What? Blame you for what? Besides that, why don't you make something better?

Think about what Mitch would think of you saying such shitty things.

[Dead Stench 1]

Wow, those cops are inept.

I don't think you intended it to be funny, but I laughed a little inside because the police officers were really stupid. Maybe you could watch some police shows on TV to see their behavior and what they actually do in those situations just to add a bit of realism. Also try more movement and body language. But continue with this. I like the style; it was similar to David Firth's work.

I gave it a 4/5.

GoreAddict responds:

Normally I'd be pissed off by the fact that still some people are saying all flash on ng are like doki's work. But I'm not cause your review was constructive. Thanks

[MssDynamitevsTerriSchiavo]

That would be the ideal end to that useless corpse

It would be a good way to die, since that shot would kill her immediately. She wouldn't feel anything, and plus she's asleep anyway. Very humane. I like it!

So is Kagome going to replace the other voice actor from now on?
I'm just curious.

Sirkowski responds:

The next episode will be voiced by someone else, but the ones after should be voiced by Kagome.
