Ben-Spurgin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Generic Man: BFS]

Hah

Previous reviewer is a moron, keep up the good work!

[College University pt 5]

OK

But bored me to tears!

[CS bomb operation (v1.0)]

Yay!

Good job! Thank you so so much for not using stick figures!
-Ben Spugin

[Arrogancy: Chapter 3 (SV)]

Sigh

The reason I gave humor a "10" was because all the people at my job were sobbing uncontrollably from laughter at the horrible voice acting. It makes Eskimo Bob sound like Shakespeare!
Also you ned to learn how to pick up the pace! Watch Stick Slayer 6 to see what pace your next movie should be. Imagine 5 minutes of that and that's my next movie. Let's see... 1 hour work per shot, 243 shots, 5 minutes. THAT'S a good pace. 15 minutes work per shot, 13 shots, 5 minutes. That's a slowwwwwwwww movie.
Keep trying!

arrogancy responds:

243 shots in 5 minutes? That's horrible direction! That's even beyond MTV video editing! Hahah, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I have 75 shots in Arrogancy 3, which is right on pace for any type of non-music video production.

Out of all the movies on Newgrounds, Stick Slayer would be the LAST thing that I'd want to emulate. Tighten up your art and anatomy and ease up on the gradients, PLEASE. You're breaking every rule of graphic design an aesthetics when you make EVERYTHING a gradient. Don't use music so recognizable as Gladiator - create your own if you can, or find something that everyone doesn't already know. And it would be a good idea to lighten up on the action. Take these suggestions to heart, and you'll get the respect of the more mature crowd.

[Crow Clock-Death to Rasp-]

Bah

Clocks + Eskimo Bob + Begging for votes = 0

One day Strawberry Clock will enter your heart and teach you about the love in the world...then you too can move away from making silly stick movies and begin making divine Clock masterpieces. :)

[Do You Remember Macross?]

Good!

You've got great skills. Only a couple reasons I didn't rate this higher
1. No sound ..?!
2. Rick Hunter's mutant sideways mouth
3. Too short!
But please make more anyway!

[Toonslayer]

Hee hee!

Great stuff man! Keep it comin, we'll wipe out those stick movies yet!
-Ben Spurgin

[The Untelevised Olympics]

Helll yea!

This movie had me in tears for several reasons...
First, it's so friggin funny!
Second, I am sobbing over the fact that 4 of the top movies of all time are stick movies, while gems like this fall to the wayside by the same dumbasses who vote the stick movies UP...
And third I just took a realy big hit and my eyes are watering.
-Ben Spurgin

[Clock Destroyer]

Hmmm

Geeee the story line sounds familiar.
-Ben Spurgin

Istari responds:

The author of Stick Slayer speaks! It must be eating you alive that 5 of the top 10 of all time are stick movies, while stick slayer is nowhere to be seen. Might it be that the sticks were victorious in the end? In any case, don't get pissed at me, I'm just trying to be the 6th stick movie in the top 10. =)
