GnomeZome's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Phone Cats]

A solid 90's screen saver aesthetic.
Thank you for making this.

[A Truth]

These are brilliant.
I was wondering if this was a motion capture, and figure the right kind of make up would allow a specialized camera to only record the correct parts of the face, but that's probably over engineering it.
The loops are masterfully done.
They remind me of something between chemical reactions and psychic impressions (looping traumatic memories in a set space.)
The colors and the music all sync so well, and I would put it pretty close to the par of the bubble elephant scene in Dumbo.
Thank you for making this.

[(Heart) Broken - Visual Novel trailer]

Color me curious.
Sometimes coming to know to understand one's own darkness is more like understanding what light we shed, and I get that vibe from this.
I wish you luck with this project, it will be interesting to see how you handle this subject matter.
Thank you for making this.

[SMOOCH!]

Very cute.
Thank you for making this.

[The Birth of Byleth (Smash Bros Animation)]

Fair Enough.
It did, overall, seem like an odd choice on their part, choosing another Fire emblem character, but so it goes.
Thank you for making this.

ok nerd lol

[MOZZIE]

The changing of "how to kill"
to
"how to get rid of a mosquito"
Tells us a huge amount about the character, how they view themselves, and how they want to be viewed.
The cracked screen is also a great indicator of their level of care to the world around them.
The action was lively, and it was really impressive to hear how the music's tone and arrangement would change to match the visuals.
I also personally see it as a high mark of character design and visual choreography if the the figure can be put through dynamic animations and color changes, and can still be recognizable, so that was quite well done.
Thank you for making this.

thanks for the detailed response, glad you liked it :)

[Cock Fight]

Ok, so I really liked this.
The visuals where just about a striking as blows being traded, and I think you know that.
Ever since I read this early 2000's webcomic called "anit-hero for hire" I have something called the Hot/Cold test for super human persons.
Basically the titular antihero fought someone with the super human ability to resist most and heat and cold, and had made a fairly lame Dr. Freeze kinda go of crime.
The issues that was raised in the comic, and I raise to is this "If the character is strong or special enough to have an ability that could be considered "superhuman" then why not use that to make money."
I know it's a simple over the top fight scene, but if the yellow bro could get that swoll, he could make a ton of money in construction or other tasks where that level of strength and articulation combined would make for a great asset.
IE: He could afford a burrito.
Thanks for making this.

[In The Black Corner....Cookie!]

There is a really good diagram in the OG manga for Ghost in the Shell where Motoko explains that having an arm that mechanically lift something that the rest of the human form could not, would case injury, and a person Embiggening their limps is fine, and could lead to some really interesting wingchung style misdirection in fighting, I just technically focused on conservation of mass and consistency in ability.
But, if this is just porm thinking about the physics just silly.
In terms of stressing how physically small she is, you might want to be sure to include objects of a size most people are familiar with, and related to wrestling, so maybe a folding chair.
Thanks for making this.

Dral-Studio responds:

Thanks for this really insightful review. You've got the right idea on the misdirection style fighting that I'll be going for. And yeah I'm going for more of a light-magic/powers system, but I do really appreciate your insight on the ability.

And honestly, the more I plan this fight, the less and less it become porn and more and more just two sexy people fighting and grappling lol.

The size thing is a good point. The wrestling ring is actually made with WWE ring measurements, but I guess most people and even most wrestling fans actually wouldn't know how tall an turnbuckle actually is. So I'll definitely keep that in mind.

And thank you again for your time and review!

[The Office...is A Quiet Place]

Y'know I kinda hope John Krasinski dose not get typecast as Jim as he has some real chops as an actor, but also it now so hard to take him seriously when I seem him in a serious role.
It's a good piece of nonsense, and I'd say that Dwite having a gosh darn oil lantern at work (Ala the trailer of a quite place) because of his rural upbringing and setting the office on fire like in that one episode, would make sense to extend the joke.
But, overall you did a solid job, and made a solid parody?
Thank you for making this.
