AdamCook's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Evil Josh & Billy]

Evil? I hadn't noticed...

Hilarious stuff, very reminiscent of the Simpsons (way of thinking and the episode where they go to Australia) and much better than most of the sitcoms on Newgrounds: not excessively random. Theme tune was good, sounded like a MIDI track from the good old Monkey Island games. Two questions: why did an arm appear from the top of the screen to dip the spoon in the concoction, and was there any meaning to the white screen with the scrolling piece of text? Good luck to you on this new series. You've changed the way I look at cutlery (i.e. from afar, through a telescope).

Jeibi responds:

The disembodied arm was just because I was too lazy to bend Billy's own arm. In the screwy world I created here I thought I could get away with it.

The text on the white screen I'm assuming is when the characters go "chibi". It says "shi~n" which is Japanese for silence. I just had a pause in the dialogue and wanted to do something slightly more interesting than just standing there.

Front page?

Amazing that something so basic could get such a high rating. This isn't as big a parody as it could have been: the stereo should have played the Chicken Dance like it does in Madness, the character cameos you had appeared very briefly, and there is NO sign of Rayman, one of the most revered/despised limbless characters around. Still, it was good work with some nice graphics and humour, and I'm sure your fans will want you to do more.

Nextrol responds:

I was going to put the chicken dance in but I kinda went with my second thought for the techno... now I wish I hadn't.Maybe I'll make a revision. Rayman? GOOD IDEA.... man that slipped my mind... maybe you should have made this movie! :) lol

Thanks for reviewing.

[Final Flash Fantasy ep.1]

That's how it's done!

There are some people who spoof so much that they lose the feel of the original work. You have created something that feels like it was actually created as an official release, but with a subtle amount of comedy which works really
well. Mind you, I was expecting to hear the Benny Hill theme burst out when the girl gets chased by the guards! Great sprite work and nice music, and probably the best first flash I've ever seen.
