shadowbliss654's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gordon Ramsay BAFFLED by Restaurant AMATEURS]

Outright saying it - I work in a restaurant. If Ramsay showed up at my house to "Kitchen Nightmares" it, I think I'd probably slit his throat.

[The Curse of Dracular]

To be honest...the actual films Hammer were making in 1974 that were Dracula related were getting ridiculous (unless you think then modern counter culture, espionage and a Kung Fu film can be forced into a Dracula movie seamlessly). So...well played this person's father's kid fanfiction. You did better than the movies.

Jokes aside, I actually quite liked this. It reminds me of Axe Cop and other such "professional makes art from a kid's ideas" media in that it has fun but manages to be faithful enough that it's simultaneously funny AND respectful.

[Babs Bunny: Expect the Unexpected]

To be honest, I didn't really know what to think (I'm not opposed to Looney Tunes cannibalism but the "Saturn devouring his sons" approach DID take me back a bit) - however, the parody of the "That's All Folks!" through the oesophagus made me legitimately laugh out loud.

[How TF2 Nurtured its Community - LOVEWEB]

I've never played TF2. When it comes to Valve games I like, the Portal series defines that for me.

That said I do like this episode due to it striking the right nerve of "being a fan of something" and "criticizing the company that owns it when they ruin it" kind of thing. I also like how the Cybermare character picked the battles - loot boxes and fucking over fan mods is definitely worthy of criticism for a game company. I also like how Manon didn't really try to shut down criticism but simply wanted to enjoy the game.

The only reason I'm not rating higher is because, again, I don't really know anything about TF2

[Salad Fingers 20th Anniversary Special]

TAP

[Twomplr]

This might be a parody but I prefer the name "Twomplr" over "X."

BroatsShorts responds:

I agree

[HOMESTEAD (Student Film)]

Honestly, I love animation like this. I look forward to seeing what else you make.

[The Ultimate Showdown Collab]

Extra points for including a moment where a Tankman kills the YouTube logo.

This is also a fucking great tribute. The glee I felt at seeing some of the pop culture references updated to a new generation was just...perfection.

[Mobile Games Be like]

Barring the assault of "Buy THESE currencies for the game that we admit do fuck all!", this is pretty accurate (honestly, the only reason i didn't score this higher is because you succeeded a little TOO well at annoying me).

I do lament that mobile games ended up the way they did. I mean...Newgrounds itself is proof that you could have small, simple and fun games that would work well to play on the go. Instead of games that are copies of eachother, mining a user's money and time.

[The Web has lost its Soul - LOVEWEB]

I'm gonna be honest in that I've had my own personal Neocities for about a year now but this animation keeps inspiring me to edit it more (I am by no means a decent coder but I'm still trying). The fact that it keeps doing that made me put it in my "Favourites."

Anyway, I've seen quite a few different "the modern internet sucks" videos and this one is a pretty good and detailed way to get it across to all ages. So yeah, I really like this.
