rothgar989's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sunday School 01]

Total shit

I don't know how this series managed to get onto the front page. If the first episode is any indication, the whole series is dog shit. In this episode we get to see such comic gold as:

A kid sniffing glue
A fugly schoolteacher with a dildo in her desk
A kid's drawing of a cock that was supposed to be Jeebus

Now I'm no ranting Christ-y, I just think that this movie failed miserably at being funny. It ended up being pointless and humorless. Seriously, are black kids still talking about Run DMC?

EricSullivan responds:

This is why I can never get people to watch the rest of the series.
The first few episodes of Sunday School suck really bad.

[BentTV: Crack Iraq's Back]

Pretty good movie, but...

Why do you have to bash all the viewers that support the war? I'm not saying you're a pinko commie faggot, but I am saying that if you don't want to receive hate messages then perhaps you shouldn't make a movie that you know will offend people. I could also say that your movie is about as far from reality as is possible, but then again I am able to appreciate satire and I do have a pretty good sense of humor. However, no matter what you say about Bush being an idiot, he did get an MBA from Harvard and he is the president. You might not agree with him, but he's by no means an idiot. He also has toppled two dictatorships, which is two more than Clinton ever did.

Political content aside, good graphics and the gangsta Saddam was pretty funny. Much better quality than most of the crap on the front page. Your Star Wars stuff was good, especially since they didn't try to alienate any of the viewers.

pyropymp responds:

I bash the ones that bash me, if you support the war with reasons, I will reason back. I am doing this because I feel strongly about the war, and the current events, and I don't think it's responsible for me to remain silent as an artist in a time like this. I never was a political person until Bush came along, speaking of which, I'll ahve you know that his degrees were all bought... how do you explain getting into Harvard with a C+ average? One thing you should realize about "toppling dictatorships" is that many of such dictators were planted there BY THE US in the first place, including Saddam. Now you reap what you sow... Solving conflicts with conflicts is not the way to go, look at Iraq, their people are already starting to show distaste for the US.

I thank you for appreciating the satire, but I will not be silent as long as an idiot is running the most powerful nation on earth

[Iron Chef Seppuku]

Pretty good

Short but sweet. Thought you might like to know that seppuku is actually much more graphic, as the samurai cuts himself across the abdomen, spilling out his entrails. Thought you might like to know that handy bit of trivia (got it from the movie Ronin and the book Shinju by Laura Joh Rowland (if any of you read books out there in NG-land)). I know the NG viewers would love it if you included THAT in your movie!

SketchMichaels responds:

Thanks for the info :)

I got the seppuku from watching Ronin as well. Haven't heard of Shinju, though I'll check it out. Thanks for the info and the review!
