Hoboweasel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eternal Saturday]

This was by far the most disturbing thing I've seen all week. You make me proud. The way you animate is so well-rounded and intriguing. I like the Bill Cosby animations (they remind me of Cyriak's stuff).

[Dear, Princess]

The video was bearable, but only because of the quality of the animation. The story itself was disappointingly rough and frustratingly obvious at times; the constant narration (mainly because it pertained to the obvious, rather than the esoteric religious context of the story), was bland, vapid, and largely extraneous. The scene where the princess answers the door, because she noticed the knocking was coming from said door, should have been completely scrapped for being so painfully obvious; not to mention pointless if you already have the animation portraying all of this. Overall, the mildly aesthetic flash, in conjunction with the pitifully juvenile story, was mediocre at best.

I was waiting for it... and you didn't disappoint (i.e. the punchline). I'm not well acquainted with your animation, but your humor is quite interesting and satisfying. Great job on the voice acting, by the way.

PPPPRRREEECCIIIIISSSEEEEEEE.

The man in leather was hilarious!~ :D
King: "Would you like a travel bag?"
Sniper: "That won't be necessary. I've already placed them at my residence."
King: "Dear god, man!"

Very, VERY, well done. I've not seen MiddleFingerRings' art style before, but it's definitely very detailed and "precise." The humor was great, the voices were melodramatic (which made them all the more hilarious), and I loved the story. 10/10 :D

[Santa Travel]

Now THERE'S the brilliant comedy writing.

After I saw this my facial expression became reminiscent of an Edvard Munch painting. Brilliant stuff. I especially liked the apathetic/idiotic expression on Santa's face as the father of the child he just sat on (and likely killed) committed suicide.

[PokeAwesome]

I still love your video game satire.

I don't even know where you come up with this stuff; maybe it just flows naturally. Regardless, I thought it was hilarious. Keep it up, I really enjoy seeing your work.

[Parasitemas]

What a pleasant compilation...

Honestly, I found it a bit lacking in closure. Still, the animation (provided in part by one of my favorite macabre artists) was quite well done (certainly enough to keep me watching it). Still, I would have preferred an alternate ending. If you'd like an example, I've included one below.

I really liked most of the film, actually. I'm quite the connoisseur of unabated creativity, and this flash most certainly had its fair share of that. I was, however, a little off-put by the fact that you overlooked a lot of potential symbolism (in that your flash was based around tapeworms). To me, tapeworms symbolize a lot of things (namely humanity's parasitic relationship with the world around it). That said, I would have had the tapeworms take over the government and broadcast commercials about ludicrous worm-based consumer goods. I'd then show stores filled with worm-based clothing, food, video games, etc.; a shot of children clamoring at store windows; something blazes across the sky; then a shot of a morbidly obese tapeworm dressed in what could only be adequately described as 'Santa' attire in a sleigh being pulled by eight tapeworms and a functionally retarded tapeworm with a glowing nose; said 'tapeworm Santa' proceeds to rocket through the air and sends out more tapeworms which proceed to travel down people's chimneys; show a shot of said tapeworms crawling down people's chimneys and vomiting presents; children opening the presents; one kid gets a jack-in-the box, winds it up, and a tapeworm pops out and devours him; then shots of the kids going insane and tapeworms flying out of every conceivable orifice; then a shot of children in third-world countries opening worm-based presents and being devoured; then a panning shot of worms devouring entire cities; then a shot of continents slowly being engulfed by worms; then a shot of a t-bone steak (or whatever random thing comes to mind in order to signify the attention span of anyone watching the video and attempting to perceive any sort of message).

Hope you liked my idea (or at least thought it was funny). Keep up the good work.
