AbsintheClock's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[CC: Discoloration]

This is a brilliant piece of work.

Through the learning of spam from clocks before you, you've recaptured the old spirit of the clock crew with new means of visuals, and of course the message is clear. The clock crew loves, and cool music causes explosions. Good work man!

AlbinoClock responds:

Love is all you need. Very relaxing.

[Wade Tha Cow]

I love you man!

This is probably as far as I'm concerned your best work. You took a realistic yet absurd idea, and made it even more absurd. This movie had a lot of soul to it, and makes the $155 bucks I donated all the more worthwhile. When I go to pick out which cow I deem Wade Fulp, I'll look for one with her tongue hanging out like that.

[All NG Fads Die!!! 5!!!]

Well...

To be honest I thought the balance in quality control was lacking in this one. I just didn't really see too much new stuff being brought to the table. First and foremost the number one thing I absolutly got to bitch about. I absolutly hated the music. It ruined the whole damn experience. There were a lot of good frame by frame works, a lot of good conceptual work, but then there were moments of just really low quality animation that just brought it down. More so I think the thought process behind the continuity and the flow of each segment was poorly thought out. I usually kind of like looking at these things just to see the reflection on what's going on with Newgrounds itself. I didn't really get that so much. In fact I felt like this version was almost took the all NG Fads Die thing into a fad itself.

My suggestions on fixing these problems are the following. First and foremost more strong animators. A larger mix of who to pick on, a thought process behind the continuity, and for the love of god instead of the god awful music can we just have the artists do thier own sound? The "heavy metal" music or whatever you want to call it really does take away from the overall experience and limits the artist themselves. Needs more Clock Crew by the way...

Oh and one more thing. You cannot kill StrawberryClock.

What's the point of killing CC if you can't kill SC? Also, This isn't even THAT hard for metal, there is so much worse. Also, I try to seek out good authors, but not everyone can do a part or have the time or the interest. Most of these parts are the best of the bunch.

[Intro. FrenchFriesClock]

Mediocrity is the root of all evil

What is it to be a clock? It's much more than an intro movie (unfortunatly 90% like every other intro movie I've seen) nor is it to put B in your favorites, or to "vote the fifen" on Clock flashes. This is something you will have to learn if you really plan on lasting. You are not a true Clock but instead simply a fan. This takes time, dedication, and of course above all else thought. More so I see no understanding as to the history of the Clock Crew, the actual understanding of humor, nor anything else. In fact I will go even further to say the only reason this movie has passed is in fact because it had the word "Clock" in the title. Wheras sometimes this sort of thing can be concidered somewhat funny in this case it is simply a horrible mockery and truly just a debasing statement created with positive intentions. This sort of thing scares me. It's like a sewer rat admiring good art, and then drawing stick figures to post in a trendy gallry like some sort of colt to a fat man with no understanding of concept... Only of buisness. And that is what I see. You are no clock but rather a colt to the Newgrounds fandom.

In conclusion I am disgusted and this should not have passed.

So what can you do to improve? It's simple really. You know what your capabilities are. You know what is good and what is crap. You should know especially if you enjoy Clock movies. I don't expect the work of an instant classic but I do expect effort. And that is what you lack in. Effort and understanding of any vague idea of sheer concept. The brainchild has been hooked with a coathanger, and at this point I have grave doubts you could ever bring it back to life.

Macaronic responds:

Are you saying that I didn't out effort into this? Well I did. I'm simpoly an amatuer animator right now, but I will be getting better. Thanks for the review!

[Lord of the Clocks pt. 1b]

Wow...

Just after I submitted my movie I saw this. You call me mind blowing... This is absolutly astonishing. I am really impressed. It's this kind of work that really makes me proud to be a member of the Clock Crew. Keep up the good work.

StrangeClock responds:

Thanks man. <3

[Let's Go Kill A Clock!]

FYI...

aok obviously this was intended as a spam movie as many spam movies are made on Clockday yes? Well this isn't at all anything original. If you're going to make an anti clock movie at least make it funny. Believe it or not Clocks love anti-clock movies. They make us laugh. Why do you think we were such big fans of the Mr_Artist fad thing?

Anyhow better luck next time and remember you cannot kill StrawberryClock.

Will-Wonka responds:

I'm a Clock.

[Message For Clock Crew]

LOL!

You're a riot! Half assed lines and abused gradients. God I wish we sucked that bad.
