Jigganis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mammoth]

Animation lacked a bit, otherwise wonderful

Your concept and directing was great, qualities to be emulated by the majority of Newgrounds authors, to be sure. Thoroughly enjoyable, in general.

[Sketchbook Story]

That my humble self liked

That I thought was very strange and good. Can't deny I enjoy randomness and non-sequiturs such as in your movie. Creepy and vacant narration added to it. I do hope there's more to come.

Did I see something from Cave Story in there?

[The Future Wasn't There]

Not terrible at all

Reminds me of a certain Adam Sandler movie called "Click", though...

"Also, to all you guys claiming the movie has no ending... it does. Know that part where the movie stops and the replay button appears? That's the end. The story has an intentionally ambiguous conclusion that is meant to inspire personal interpretation and conversation. Any more traditional ending I could've included would've robbed the viewer of the opportunity to really think about the movie's message. Thanks for watching!"

To those reading this who remember "Click": was that multi-million-budgeted movie itself something substantive and original enough to deserve conversation and interpretation? How about this flash?

spanio responds:

Nothing with Adam Sandler (with the exception of the excellent James L. Brooks movie, Spanglish) is worthy of serious conversation or interpretation. Thanks for watching!

[Aerofanatics]

Very good show

Condensed and subtle film technique giving way to a good laugh. Shows signs of brilliance.

[Tomm-E]

That was... what?

That kind of reminded me of Stamper's "Rebecca", actually.

[Fågelskrämman]

Pretty damned good

Let me tell you my criticisms. I'll leave the praises to others since I would be mostly echoing them...

The scenes with the feet are distracting, especially with the text. Seems kind of useless to have the kid asking the dad if he can shoot. Unless you're adding in some other kind of element of age here.

Also, like some other reviewers, I find the calendar unnecessary, too. It would be best left out.

Don't think I don't like the thing though. Just look at my score. I'm about to watch it again now. Try to figure out that ending...

[Fisherman?]

Reminiscient of Adam Phillips' stuff

Hell. if it weren't for the different art style I'd think he'd made it. This is really good. Can't find much wrong with it myself.

[Less Than Three]

I finally get the title

<3

Can't believe I missed that.

[Megaman - Rockin in paper]

fun!

That level appears to be channeling LittleBigPlanet.

[John McCain]

Not bad... in fact, I like it!

Did I see something from Shadow of the Colossus there in the background?
