StrangeClock's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fun in Clocktopia]

h1l4r10u5

One of the funniest clock movies I've seen in long times!

[it is a clock crew movie!]

Wait a minute

StrawberryClock wasn't wearing any underwear!

The King goes commando style.

joeneato responds:

well I think we should keep in mind that we're not sure what we were seeing in that scene

was wade fulp imagining the whole thing? was it something he witnessed?!!
I left it for the audience to decide and I think the ambiguity of the conflict really contributed to the themes and mise en scéne ala david lynch or darren aronofsky

thank you for your patronage strangeclock

NO LET THEM FINISH

My thoughts exactly

This was an excellent quality Flash.

[Short Flash about Bill M.]

Peculiar

As I watched this, tears rolled down my face, and wherever they fell, they formed little faces of Bill Murray...

...smiling up at me...

Grand

I'm reminded, in scope, of RomanCollar's "Clock Day Ajudication" which was also very big, long and had a boatload of characters and jokes to keep things rolling. It's too bad the filters tend to bog down playback a lot - I'd advise either toning down filters, or saving backgrounds (with filters) as still images and import them, so the filters don't have to be rendered live when the swf is played. I love the references to classic Clock movies and of course Seinfeld.

If you're disappointed with the amount of response you got (this must've taken a lot of work after all), it may in part be to blame on the movie, from the outside (in title and title screen, plus the trailer), looking like a more serious Clock movie, which some Newgrounders seem to dislike and avoid. Having that twist from serious to funny might be jarring for people. Anyway, kudos on your hard work and I recommended it for the collection.

InsulinpumpClock responds:

Unfortunately for me I figured out how to best manage being a filter whore and the lag it creates in flash only after I submitted it. A bit too late but o well live and learn as time goes on and I am learning a lot surprisingly. Thanks for the review. It's just no fun without one from you. :'(

Amazing

Your art is fantastic, moved me to tears of excrement

Gotta watch out for those Pokémon kids and their British slang.

W-P-S responds:

I ain't trading my bulbasaur card, guv'nar.

[Wacky's period]

this was just incredible

brought back a lot of memories from my period, thank god I went through menopauze

[Thamesis - Episode 1]

interesting stuff!

Very interesting art style, great sound design, and you make good use of the possibilities of animation for a graphic novel format.

However, and this may end up being a tediously repeated comment: the text disappears a bit fast most of the time. I notice this mostly when text appears in various places on screen and it takes a fraction of a second to focus on a different area (for instance near the end, when the prince has a conversation over the phone).
I'd recommend either lengthening the time text appears a little more, or indeed look into using voice actors to narrate things -- it's just another element you can take advantage of since it's presented in Flash form rather than on paper.

Delicious

Hilarious voicework <3
