Dremen's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Morgue]

Awesome!

I thought it was awesome, but I posted to insult the guy below me. Goth fucker! You actually think that St. Anger was a good album!? Fuckin' poser! You're not a metalhead, you're an embarassment!

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

I admit, St.Anger was not AS good as most of their old albums. But it was still good.

I am a bad person. :(

[CC Flash Tutorials]

...

You get a 0 for encouraging text morphing.

Text morphing does NOT rock.

TenkiStudios responds:

wtf man. You can vote 0 just because of that... and yeah it does... it looks awesome

[Tribute To Animators]

Pathetic

I've been working in Flash for 3 years, and am about to submit an entire Myst-like game made with 3DS Max and Flash. In "your" opinion, I should have the right to give a movie any damn vote I want to. People can vote on how good they think a movie or game is, and how much they enjoyed it compared to others. For God's sake, you shouldn't give every piece of shit that comes on the portal a 5 just because you don't have Flash.

Also, Perfect Kirby isn't that good, although a lot of work was put into it, the skill is just not there, and that's worthy for a 3 out of 5.

This movie is worthy of a 2.

Sad, truly sad. It's even worse that this monstrocity is over the truly amazing flash creations like The Final Task, A Bard's song and many more just because all you shitty, whiny Flash artists can't accept that your movies suck.

I'm giving this a 0 since it should not be where it is.

I would have enjoyed it more had it insulted people like you, a fucking whiny bitchy ranting movie is #1. Why don't you hold eachother you fucking cry babies.

DaDocta responds:

Can You SAY JEALOUS?? and You miss the POINT.. ITS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO BLAM FOR THE POINTS NOT QUALITY.. AND FLASH IS NOT ONLY ABOUT VISUALS.. ITs The entertainment Value of this. PLEASE THINK BEFORE REVIEWING IN THE FUTURE

[How To Animate Walking]

eh...

I've been using Flash for 3 years, not much help here. Basically what I tell people when making walking is to use keyframes and NOT motion tweens for the love of God. Of course, if they aren't the artistic type and don't know how people move their joints (you'd be surprised how many people don't seem to fuck it up) this would be useful. Still nothing amazing, and I think a 10 would be ridiculous.

Stew-Ped responds:

Keyframes is definately the way to go. I draw each frame separately unless I've got a long walking loop, then I draw the frames for one complete step, then copy the frames. I still have to go back and move the guy into the correct position though.

[l33t Land Of Liberty]

Ehhh...

Well apart from being offensive and killing that asian chick from the view (she's hot!), this movie also sucks in about every other way. It could have been much shorter had you not reused so many scenes that were too long in the first place anyways. The graphics sucked. Metal is great music, but you like shitty metal (try soilwork). Ehhh... the plot sucked. The dialogue sucked and even had some typos. I could go on, but I'll spare you some dignity and ask you not to portray Christianity or any culture or religion in the way you did in this movie.

JohnTheMutt responds:

Alright, here's a review I can actually respond to. Killing the Asian View chick is a totally acceptable casualty if it means wiping the view from the face of the Earth. Yes, I know it could've been much shorter, and I will indeed conceed that the gun scene was re-used and long, but this is my first movie, and I'm entitled to some of those mistakes. I didn't choose some of the heavier metal for this piece, because I felt that the pieces I did choose were appropraite, so you can take your comments about my music tastes, and shove 'em. As far as the dialogue goes, I'll admit that it was kinda flat, but it was mostly filled with inside jokes that you wouldn't've gotten anyways, so whatever. And then for the crime of "portraying Christianity or any other culture the way I did"... I have to say, WTF? I didn't portray Christianity like anything, nor did I harm any other culture. I meerly attacked the 700 club. Surely most Christians don't look to the 700 for spiritual guidance, and besides, I get personally offended with some of the things they say about Islam, and other cultures. And so, I had them killed in my movie. Grow up. Whatever. If you didn't like my movie, fine, but I think it deserved more than a 2/10. Whatever.

[Bad Animations #1]

...

If only people stopped making bad animations that insult bad animations...

AGandPJ responds:

You complete and utter point.

If you were born yesterday, i could understand your reason for posting that review. Talk about 'Stating the obvious'....sheesh! *DUHHH*!

That was the whole point of this animation.

[Not Reciprocal]

The funny thing is that you take it so seriously

I was waiting for a funny punch line at the end, but was let down. The animation was absolutly horrible. I can tell you put a lot of effort into it, but the skill is just not there. You'll get good eventually. The thing is, when you're doing a serious movies, the animation must be extreamly good. If you can't animate too well, stick to comedy until you are good enough.

Also, the storyline was a little breif, and the music reminds me of Pearl Harbor too much, and that is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Good effort, keep it up, because eventually you'll get good.

Oh, by the way, you're obviously a fan of The Bard's Song. Now that's what I mean by good animation.

KaraNuku responds:

Thank you for your "constructive" review. Now maybe you should think about this: critic is about negative AND POSITIVE! :) xxx

[Ben Spurgin's Demo Reel]

You self absorbed bastard!

What the hell is wrong with you!? Ben Spurgin's Demo Reel... You actually put your name infront of the title? Who the hell do you think you are!? You don't see: Tom Fulp's Dress-Up Bulma, or Will Stamper's Street Life, and they're both a hell of a lot better then you. Personally, as a fellow Flash artist, I think your animation is REALLY overrated. It's sloppy, and you over-use gradients. You are better than most Flash artists on NG, of course. 90% of them don't know how to make a working loader. Anyway, just tone it down a little, your not that great.

PS. I'll be nice and not bring up: Ben Spurgin Leading Flash to new Dimensions. Oh wait. I just did.

Ben-Spurgin responds:

It's called a "Demo Reel" meaning it's what I use to show potential employers. I'm not trying to be a "self-absorbed bastard", I'm trying to sell myself.
Get it? Got it? Good.

[XiaoXiao Beth the Thief!]

Yeah... here's what I think!

While you are bitching about Beth sending in Xiao Xiao, I'm bitching about you submiting text, and calling it a movie! Maybe Zhu Zhu didn't submit it cause he has trouble with English. But does it really matter who submits it? All the credit goes to Zhu Zhu! Everyone knows he made it! So why does it matter who exposed it to NG! We all love Xiao Xiao, and with out Beth, most of us would never have seen it! And one other thing, I know for a fact that Beth is working on Flash. I gave her the damn program through freedrive. She e-mailed me back and said that she was starting to make movies and what not. Maybe she hasn't submitted anything yet, cause she's still new and not that good... maybe she dosn't want to fill the portal with trash, cause she IS faithful to NG. What do ya think 'bout that bitch! In conclusion, you are gay.

-Trev

PS- Zero Wing is over rated and should not even be on the top 50.

TFX responds:

Rather than argue with you (since you're only 14 and resort to calling people 'gay' as an insult), I submit to you what Septimus (maker of Malapa's Challenge) said:I'll never get the number one spot, but it pisses me off that a stolen movie is(was) number one. I love how she is now claiming to have helped make the movie- I remember when her disclaimer said that she didn't make it. Pisses me off.

-Septy.

I know that Beth is working on her own projects, but she has submitted nothing and we have no proof. The fact of the matter is, she has no disclaimer, she gets all the credit (we have no idea if messages ever reach Zhu since she says his e-mail is down) and the Number 1 movie on Newgrounds.

That is sick.
