Sorry about some of the red images. The images were from photoshop and way to big in file size to put on this site. Enjoy.

"I liked it."

date: May 7, 2005

side note: don't you hate reviewers (like Aleahcim) that don't do anything but gargle shit?

Anyway, I liked it, sort of a Tarrentino (spelling?) style. I thought you did well, although the sound was horrible and the animation wasn't the greatest. Love the sublime tho.

"Dumb"

date: May 6, 2005

I really didn't like this. It had junky graphics and nothing good about it at all. Swearing and violence and 'adult themes' are just a stupid way to make you look mature. Basically, I hate it.
ps. plus you put a good song (dylan's 'tamborine man') in a stupid context and thus you are dumb. Ok, I'm done now.

"Don't let anyone tell you different."

This is a .... "wow" piece. This flash is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It isn't your normal everyday newgrounds "Let's make 'em laugh" animation. Although I love Sublime's intro song, being akin to the roomates. Anywho...this was full of drama, some film noir, and an actual mini-plot...that...didn't suck.
Good fucking job.
Keep on doing this stuff, man.

"I agree with AnacondaHL..."

date: April 29, 2005

Sorry to say it, no matter how "poor" you are, the sound was not great, and Anaconda is right, if you can produce decent audio, at least get some nice mellow music to cover the distorted background...

and you're pretty full of yourself if you think that this video could even compare to some of the top 50 videos...you probably think that all these videos are about artwork, your story went nowhere...the ones that have an impact on people are the ones that have a story, they have meaning...yours was a bland meaningless video...

"interesting,"

date: April 29, 2005

The voice acting and microphone was really bad. Only the first female voice was good, the rest sounded really forced and, well, not at all like prostitutes.

Besides, I thought that Bob Dylan Song refered to Tambourine Man as a drug dealer, not an all out pimp. Whatever, it still works.

I mean, do you hear that horrible fuzz every time someone talks? If you can't record right, atleast cover it up with some soft background music. The story moved along pretty slowly and predictably, although I don't think many hookers are waitresses. And nice try on the whole non-linear story line thing, but it wasn't really special.

Overall, it's interesting, but deceptively lacking in depth, both in story and in sound quality. Will people stop using the overly-too-loud female scream?

Author's Response:

Hey man, I don't know if you think you're some kind of professional reviewer but you don't seem that intellegent on the matter. Sorry I didn't have professional recording equipment or actors, shit man I'm poor. It's not like this was some big motion picture. It's just a cartoon and it's a lot better than some of the shit on the site, even some of the crap in the top 50. But thanks for your review.
