KupaMan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[(2006) Trapper!]

Awesome

I like that you didn't do too much of the trapping of other people at the beginning, and that you moved onto the big trap at the end. The effect was really nice with the BB gun. Great job. I hope the next one is as good.

Knox responds:

thanks KupaMan :)

[Shoo Fly]

This is an example of good anime.

When NG kids submit their bullshit anime cartoons that are merely drawn based on what they see and not what should be there (like, the brain, which most people seem to neglect) and an extreme limitation of any animation whatsoever (well, anime isn't much different) it boilds my blood when they scrape in Daily Features. This, however, is one of the very view examples of good anime on NG, if not in general. You actually know what you're drawing here. You're one of the view that is aware that the head DOESN'T stop an inch above the eyes. Futhermore, you know how to animate. Lots of people will draw their beginning picture and their end picture, then do some blur or color smear between them of some kind, usually tossing in some lines to show that motion took place. Only rarely does that work, and only for one purpose. I love how you actully draw it all and animate it all (or tween, but at least very well when used). For this, I love you. I only wish you made your content more frequently. Keep it up.

Pretty cool

I have yet to see any of the Sheriff Benson cartoons (aside from this one) but, since you had a The Aquabats shirt on, I can't refuse. This was pretty funny, not great. But, since it's not an episode, I won't base judgement on this alone. Nice. Bye.

[Shamoozal: Man-Bot]

Shamoozal cartoons are great.

These always make me feel happy. They always have very clear sound, very smooth graphics, very light and happy settings. They're cool. You can't help but like them. They're a little short, which is good for what they are, but I'd like to see something that looks, sounds, and feels this good in a much longer, storytelling way. Still, very nice job.

[:: FoAmY :: CDs ::]

I can agree

I am one who actually buys CD's and DVD's and is going the legal route and I'm the one who can't listen to it or watch it on my computer. I don't have a CD player. I don't need one. I have a computer that I sit at as I listen to my music and do stuff. I can quickly change songs, volume, pause it, start a new album, without touching my CD's or go across the room. It's convenient. I'm not stealing music when I just bought it. I've got like 3 CD's recently that I couldn't play (never a "blue screen of death" yet) in my computer because of copy protection. They're losing their own business by being so stupid. I could have saved my money, my trip to the store, and my inconvenience of trying to take it back by just downloading the songs illegally (and quickly) and not getting caught. You shouldn't get fucked over or inconvenienced by doing it the right way. Otherwise there's no reason for someone to buy the CD or DVD at all. I never have a problem with teh security things in CD's but they're occasionally on Special Edition DVD boxes that I have to dish out an extra $10-15 for, and then I get this lightened or sometimes ripped spot left behind.

[Say Something!]

Awesome

It's weird that this was made, because I thought I was the only person to be that pissed about those. I'll try to click on something in the portal, roll past one, and then have that obnoctious "SAY SOMETHIN'!" followed the robotic, "WHAT?" My friend would hit me everytime one of those things would go off, which sucked because they were usually there when you'd refresh. Nice job. I'm glad someone said it.

[Fred the Notable Monkey]

Pretty good

Not really enough jokes, though. It was moreso just not liking Wikipedia's decisions. You're over emphasizing the second 'i' in Wikipedia. Also, I can't quite understand why someone would be upset that their entry was deleted from a free encyclopedia in which one adds themselves to. Besides, couldn't you just add yourself again? The point of this flash was stupid, but it was still a pretty solid cartoon. 8/10.

JKR responds:

I'm not really upset that my entry got deleted. I am upset about the WAY they deleted it. Comments such as "non-notable" and "you fail" do not help anyone to improve and only hinder growth. It is akin to the people who review Newgrounds entries with "You suck!" and nothing else. How is that supposed to help anyone?
Anyway, glad you liked the cartoon okay, and thank you for the thought out review.

Pretty standard stick work

This is basically on par with most stick stuff on Newgrounds, unfortunately. I wasn't impressed like I was suggested to be by its opening credits. That was extremely short. The first two were pretty good. The other two were fairly bland, save for an effects or two. Overall, I have to give it a seven. If it was somewhere in the three minue range with more animators and more ambitious stuff, I'd be a lot better.

Jestar responds:

But, if it's not good, why would making it long better...
Then it would just be more bad stuff.

[The Ricky Gervais Show 1]

Joe Outterside is cool

You're cool. You have nice looking stuff. I just wish you'd make more stuff. I mean, you've got a lot, just not a lot recently. Everlything visually was nicely done and there weren't poor stretched out images or crappy chunked lines or anything. You make things look sleak and professional. The stuff was funny, but weird because British people are weird.Oh well. Nice job.

Xenon responds:

I would make more, but I lack the voice actors and stuff to make the kind of animations I want to. Thanks though, Kupa.

[CU-St. Paddy's Special]

You guys are cool people

I watched all of your full episodes when they came, but I wasn't the type that was super pumped for them. They were slow, a little boring, and were riddled with characters I didn't care about. Worst of all, they were released at unknown times spaced far from each other, which didn't work out if you wanted huge fans of the series, because most'd generally lose interest while waiting. These Holiday shorts, however, are awesome. They're basically every Holiday anyone cares about, they're to the point, they're funny, small, and usually look a lot better than the episodes. This is a good way to, not only make good flash and quickly, but also to collect fans like a Swiffer. I can't wait for the next one. I doubt there'll be one for April Fool's Day, but I hope so. Great job.
