SubNoctem's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[story of a loser]

Brings back the memories I don't want

First and foremost; excellent flash animation. Reminds me of the times I would get the shit beat out of me for no reason. The relentless torment, broken bones and stitches they thought were funny. You've shown the basic truth of it very well here. The only thing wrong with this flash that I can think of is the music quality wasn't that great. Great work. And a word to the wise; get homeschooled, it helped me more then I can describe.

[The Linda Show 2]

Glad to see you're back, Sam.

Always nice to see a great Sam T flash, and I was just about due for a fix. This one, I particularly enjoyed. You've truly captured the ignorence of these people, they're always without reason. We were just talking about this sort of thing in my Gay-Straight Allience group, and I'll be sure to share it with them next time. We also discussed the new Pope, and how he's already raging some kind of war against gays and rock music. Perhaps you should highlight him in one of your next movies. Anyway, excellent work, as always. Can't wait for more.

Fucking Brilliant

You've shown America in it's true colors more perfectly then any words could describe. I don't think I can say anything more about it. Brilliant work.

[Roof Tiling]

Incredible Storytelling

I've watched your flash skills grow, along with your ability to show madness, and this is by far your best work. In just a few minutes, you've taken me on a journey though a man's crippled mind, and to his meciful end. You've shown insanity so perfectly that you can almost taste it. The artstyle change was approriate for the tone. And though I love your humor, I'm glad this wasn't packed full of it. Wonderful work Danny, I hope you never stop.

[TMBG: Particle Man]

Great video

I've seen way too many Particle Man videos, but they're usually just dots dancing around the screen; no style. Yours however, obviously towers above the rest. You've taken the time to really bring the song to life, and give it a visual story that was a pleasure to watch. You're visions for the characters were well thought out and interesting, and I can't see a better video for this song coming out for a very long time. Wonderful work.

[Tribute to Kingdom Hearts]

A fantastic tribute for a fantastic game.

Kingdom Hearts was truly a pleasure to play, as this tribute was a pleasure to watch. Though it was really just a redo of the opening scene done exceptionally well in flash, it made me want to play the whole game over again. Your art style is great, truly capturing the game's. I hope to see a lot more from you in the future. Great work.

[One-Way Trip]

I'm really happy to see this got front page

This movie was a unique experience of artistic expression, and I hope it wasn't meant as a joke, because it was somthing I really enjoyed. It's good to see that Tom Fulp is open to this style, and respects it for what it is. Your work is inspiring, wonderful flash.

Thanks TheVampire,
Seriously it's reviews like this that keep me submitting. Long ago when I got death threats over Reptilian Rampage I almost left NG. Now I've come to realize the various reasons some ppl aren't capable of leaving a competent review and the puerile reviews don't phase me anymore. Fortunately NG has a growing number of intelligent ppl, like you, who are open to ideas beyond sticks and video game sprites. Flash truly is an amazing multimedia medium. I think it has the potential to create real art. Since I can't draw like Adam Phillips(prowlies at the river) I do what I can using the skills I have as a computer programmer/artist. In other words I really appreciate your review and share your hope that the NG crew are open to unusual ways to use flash. I've seen too many really good flashes get bad ratings in the portal simply because they are too sophisticated.

[Prowlies at the River]

Incredible flash work

I absolutly loved the first tale of Bitey, and this instalment revealed more of the fantasy world that I honestly think should be written about. As in all your movies, your top-of line graphics, animation, and sound continue to improve. I especially enjoyed the 3D camera rotations. This is going to be the top standard in Newgrounds for a long time. Incredible work.

[The Billy Goats Gruff]

Excellent take on a child's story.

Great graphics, animation, sound, the usual on a front page submission. The story-line was excellent. You kept it similar enough to the original so that viewers would know what was going on, but were able to add in tons of your own material. I also enjoyed the speed and interuption you made the goblin get eaten and trapped, a very good humor style reminicent of Family Guy. Excellent ending, and an all around great flash. Nice work.

Beautiful

A wonderful story. Who would have guessed this seemingly average story would take off, out of no where, and bring in fond memories of Hannibal Lector, unless you prefer Leatherface. Top-of-line animation spun together with a style that's hard to pull off made it a pleasure to watch. Wonderful work.
