KupaMan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Tribute to Stupid]

Short, funny

I was annoyed to read in the book, The Outsiders, the spelling of boloney, instead of bologna. Funny stuff. Nice graphics. Really no problems here whatsoever. It's better to have a short, perfect flash than a long, flawed one.

[Ann Coulter: Brainless]

Stop using politics

Political cartoons are already a one-in-a-million good, and people who build up 90% of their existence on them are pathetic. It's not hard to take jabs at politicians, or straw-man your side of the debate, no matter what political party you belong to. Stop making so many political flash cartoons. It's not funny to hear you bitch about one side of politics constantly. Even if it's the side you agree with, it gets boring. The only good political comedy or satire is that which pokes fun at both sides. South Park does it well. This doesn't. I suggest either making more non-political cartoons, or make it more of an attack on everyone. This monotony is chipping away your status.

[XIN Session 18 (Finale)]

Ridiculous filesize

Visually, it was a little annoying. The art style was bad anime. The lack of quality animation also irritated, but that isn't a problem for anime fans who are treated to maybe three repeated animation loops in each episode of Dragon Ball Z or whatever the fuck they watch now. 7 for style because I've really never heard a story like it, but it was unintreguing and slow.The audio was obviously compressed, but for obvious reasons. I gave it a 5 for humour because some stuff was just ridiculous, and you never allowed it to make fun of itself, thus forcing me to. The filesize is inhumane. It doesn't matter if you have a fast connection or not, we should have to sit through that waite time. This was almost three times the suggested filesize. You could have at least cut it in half. Too big for what I was given. I give you a 7 because, I mean, you've made an 18-part series, each quite long. That's basically a television season, so you are admired for that, but I didn't find this or any of the previous episodes entertaining or enticing. Sorry. I'm obviously not your audience, but that doesn't mean I should be excluded from voicing my opinion on it.

[ShoBizNewsyNews #25]

Very cool series

I think every author has thought about doing a weekly (or near so) flash news series, but nobody's successfully done it, except you. The quality of the mouths and such show the time scale you worked with, but it's not poor quality. It's enough to get the news across, as well as all the jokes. If I had an iPod, I'd have all of these on there, except I don't, but I subscribed anyway. I almost shit my pants when you said Sean Connery was dead. I would have cried if that were true. Good job on these. Please submit them more frequently, though.

[Flash Comedy Extravaganza]

Pretty awesome

Most flash that diss NG artists are just annoying and badly animated or have stupid stuff that doesn't really contain jokes that can only apply to that artist. This, on the other hand, was well animated and had pertaining jokes to LegendaryFrog. I'm not really a fan of flash that diss other artists, because they're often made by people who don't have any of their own ideas and are basically making a hypocracy of their cartoon. But, this was not one of those, and was done very well. Nice job. I can't wait for your next project.

[Mexican Nut Dance]

Sweet

Nice, professional-looking animation, great audio quality and sound effects, hilarious idea. Definately underrated flash cartoon. This kicked ass.

[Blockhead: Episode 7]

Awesome

The graphic quality is getting great in Blockhead's world now. Everything was sharp and pretty and refined (except his conscience, who remains a little choppy and crude looking). Lots of funny physical comedy. Blockhead is impossible not to love.

The-Swain responds:

Haha, you know, the more I think about re-drawing the Conscience, the more inclined I am to slap the pen out of my own hand. The message of Blockhead is this: nothing will ever get better for the Conscience, not even his appearance.

I want to animate him a bit more next time, though. The only time you ever get to see him move was in Ep.2 with a mediocre walk cycle and a 3-frame sit motion. Boooo.

I promose more for the Conscience in the future. More, but not better.

[Astronaut Cop]

Very funny

I find this probably funnier than your gay stuff. The fact that it wasn't dirty actually made it funnier. The X-Ray flapping was probably the funniest thing I've seen.

[WoW: When Gnomes Fly]

You're finally done.

I don't really play WoW, but this was pretty funny, so I can imagine how actual WoW fans would feel. Nice visual update style. You did a good job here. Very colorful. Your main character's voice work sounds echoy. You should have touched that up. Oh, well. Very nice job.

[Employee of the Month]

Very random

It seems to be influenced heavily by Jeremy Lokken and David Firth. Tghat's okay, though. The art was very nice, and the whole cartoon was very strange and rather eerie by how they dealt with a dead guy. Strange, and very funny. I want to see more.
