Metal-kiwi's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LUCKY DAY FOREVER]

Thought I recognised your White Society's faces! A wonderful (possible) companion to Smile! that elaborates and extends wonderfully, and a pleasure to have more of your work on Newgrounds. Loved the constant trading on sexuality, appealing to humanity's base nature (as shown with the neighbour's unwelcome visitor and the porn) in order to keep us under the boot, while masking it -literally- as sophistication . Ever seen Charlie Brooker's 5 Million Credits? Similarly touching and blackly comic, as well as using sex.

Only difference between LUCKY DAY FOREVER and today's society is that humanity refuses to recognise it's state of oppression as it is not clean cut Good vs. Evil here, our incentives are smaller, addictive and seemingly less sinister than the lottery. Our idolisation of celebrity and wish to abdicate responsibility for our own lives has led to our subjugation and transformation into gurgling babies, amused by the flashing boxes and moping when they are switched off. Rant over, loved the piece. This is a documentary disguised as art.

[Invaders]

Great music, love that their language was garbled and good, simple animation. Many see it as lice or baldness, which I guess is valid, but would he be at a doctors for that guys? I assume it's a cancer/tumour/virus, draining cells dry, multiplying then moving on until there's nothing left. Of course we can see this in context of human consumption, and indeed draw parallels, giving this a nice amount of depth. Well done!

[Zelda- Link and the Pig]

Lovely lovely stuff, dopey secondary character voice acting is dopey:P Very pretty to look at, and fun to watch! NoTalentGirl, the song's "Piano Practice" from Majora's Mask, (in the Zora Pianist's room) but the actual tune is the game over theme from the first Legend of Zelda game. Yaay Zelda!

[THE CROSS pt.2 of 2]

Pico wants a word with you, Tom Fulp...

The Sinful run free, good work is good work regardless of whether we then offer up a prayer, and comparing your God to a gun tells me everything I need to know about your type of Christianity. Your God has little love to it, and is as shallow and meaningless as a dollar. I've come to Newgrounds to watch videos that are illegal in some countries, depicting uncalculable varieties of death and terrifying situations, not for dogma. Top four? If you dislike the message it's a half-arsed poem and choppy animation. Newgrounds, for shame on you, having "the Feer'a Gahhd" put into you. I'm leaving.

nahtanojmal responds:

The Sinful run free for a short while, good work is good for people if the intentions and means are good and correct, comparing my God to a gun represents one aspect of God that is shallow if you perceive it out of context.

Christianity is illegal in some countries, why depict death when you have to face your own one day, nothing is more terrifying than the idea of God's (the creator of everything in existence) wrath upon you.

If you love your children, will you not hate paedophiles or kidnappers. God's love is similar, God loves what is good so it is right for him to hate evil. The thing that makes God's love not like human love is that all people are evil, yet some are justly saved. What kind of God dies in the place of His enemies so that they would be changed to be like Him and saved from His wrath?????

["Ice Cream"]

Yeeeeaaa!!

Boards of Canada ending! Influenced by Firth at all? The shapes of your characters, music and background noises, all very similar. But very strong. More please! Longer, or with a more complex plot. Well done!

[Incident:001A]

Pretty Badass

Yaaaay! It Blended! Krinkels, Much as I love your stuff, remember The roots of Madness! People dying in surreal ways that make us laugh! (Shot from a cannon at a giant marshmallow, Killed for trying to change the music etc!) More canonical silliness plz, badass as it now is. Maybe the marshmallow makes a return as a major antagonist! 0.o

[LIFE + DEATH]

And... You fucked it up inna creepi fashion

Annuvver gd cart22n form Jerri Jaksons... Jerry Jackson's always been a bit on edge (not as much as your other cartoons), but nowhere near this, it's almost back to Scribbler. So I guess it's a good parody of TEENAGE ANGST. (those who don't know what the fuck I mean, check out Doki66, it's the same guy) Bravo! But not too much of Steven, he makes Jerry less irreverent. Actually, fuck that, your characters. Ignore me.

[Watering]

Woot!

Goovio! the spacey bit was a bit sock 4, but apart from that, you pretty much avoided firth imitation. Very good, liked your little piggy things.
