"I'm dark."

submission: Fucking Bad Reviewers

date: July 24, 2001

I'm dark. I hate people that give zeros for no reason (except jealously or lack of porn - which are worse than no reason at all), but some movies deserve low ratings.

If it took no effort, has no wit, and looks like shit, I give constructive criticism. If I see a lot of effort put into something, I rate it highly - even if it looks a little rugged. That is all.

Score: 7

"Excellent choice in music"

submission: The Color of Envy

date: July 24, 2001

Glad to hear some classical instead of the electro/rock/techno jargon that is so prevalent here. I had to look and see what beat me for movie of the day (Although the guy below me deserves to be ahead of me as well), and after seeing all the effort put forth into this, I'm glad that it did. Kickass.

Score: 8

"You know..."

submission: Neo-Bender 2 SE

date: July 24, 2001

Why did you submit twice today? While I'm not a fan of Bender or The Matrix, I do appreciate the effort, style, and art. However, you really should have spead it out...the way it looks is that you're putting basically the same movie up TWICE, thus putting yourself up TWICE for top five movies of the day which gets the movies more viewership, etc. due to being on the front page.

The way it's going, it looks like both movies are going to get a high enough rating to attain that, which will suck because the #6 rated movie won't get nearly as much viewership as it would have had you not put BOTH of these up. I'd suggest killing one and uploading it later - it will save some backlash as well.

Score: 2

"THIS is the reason why this site sucks."

submission: all my naked cam-girls!

date: July 21, 2001

If there was EVER a statement into the reason why this site sucks, THIS is it. I look at the top 5 of today, and see a "flash movie" (and I use that term loosely) of someone's "favorite camgirls." It's bad enough that all the "movie" is is a bunch of pictures, but the worst part could be the fact that his favorite camgirls are some of the ugliest, nastiest ones (Verotika?!).

This site is a great ideas, and showcases some good every once in a while - but Tom has attracted the lowest common denominator and THEY are who rule the site. A sad statement on the state of the Internet.

Score: 5

"Hmmm"

submission: Denver the Last Dinosaur

date: July 20, 2001

You do realize that the majority of people who visit this site (loser kids) are too young to know what that song is, right? Anyway, it brought back nostalgia, so I gave you a 5.

Score: 7

"Lay off the gradients"

submission: LoneGun

date: July 20, 2001

I can tell that you put a lot of work into this. I applaud your efforts. Lay off the gradients, though...you overused them - big time. Also, you may want to look at some of the better flash artist's movies for a few directorial techniques. Try something like the Ninjai preview for some of the effects that you were trying to accomplish.

Score: 4

"That was supposed to be Jessica Alba?"

submission: Jessica Alba Bubble Bath!

date: July 10, 2001

Why didn't it look anything like her? A game with very little interactivity (Im sure all flash programmers know how easy dress up games are) and a person who didn't even look like the person intended ranks this high? Stuff like this ranking comparably to that of a true flash artist like E-Bailey makes you know that you're in creative hell.

The Internet is ruled by a bunch of horny young teens with no taste. Truly a sad, sad place.

Score: 2

"uh..."

submission: Stick Man RPG (Done!)

date: July 9, 2001

First of all, the only way to win is just to constantly press attack, which is useless. Secondly, the graphics are terrible - I'm really HATING all these crappy stickmen movies, god! Thirdly, I pressed "heal," and it restored 50 HP...no wait, it only SAYS 50...

Work on your game system and find someone that can do art and animation to do that for you. Thank you, bye bye.

Score: 7

"Stick Figures"

submission: The pool

date: July 9, 2001

I was initially turned off when I saw that this was going to be ANOTHER stick figure movie (Newgrounds desperately needs a "bad art filter"), but this movie was actually pretty good. It's also one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. If you had good art, you could be one of the best flash artists out there.

Score: 8

"nice"

submission: ETW: Extreme Toy Wrastlin

date: June 29, 2001

I'm a sucker for stop-motion stuff. Do more!
