[Field Guide to Snapping]

Grooving!

This is one shell of a movie. The style is cartoonish yet very pleasing. The music is absolutely wonderful, and the animal dance animations are very well done; seemlingly modeling real-life animal movements. I particularly liked the skateboarding turtles. A lot of good animation went into that.
.
This is a welcome change of pace on NG. From the simplistic yet enjoyable opening scene to the grooving tune and dance to follow, this is a fun little movie to watch over and over again.

[Snack Clocks]

Snack on this!

Excellent idea, and expertly conveyed! I really like the concept of a snack-clock crew - that's the second-funniest anti-clock group I've seen besides meat-clocks. What I really liked best though, and what's never been done before in an anti-clock movie to my knowledge, is how you had the snack clock crew "power up" into various well-known heroes. All of them were extremely creative, but I especially liked how you had "Gokurice" in there. God, I'm such a DBZ freak.
.
The graphics are tight, the anime-style animation is smooth; some voices for the fruits and snacks would be nice but not really necessary; I liked the play-button feature to go at your own pace, and that ending music is appropriately kooky. I got the little Eskimo Bob barb too. :) Funny stuff man. This is one of the best Anti-Clock movies. Who would have thought that such crappy movie-submitters would have inspired such wonderful works of anti-clock art?

[Interview With Osama]

I've Bin Laughing

Funny and interactive concept! The interview itself is funny as it is - the dialouge and voice is great. I especially liked the part about wanting to adopt Haley Joel Osmond... the kid probably deserves such punishment. You did a very good job of fleshing out a smarmy personality for a bastard like OBL.
.
The kicker though was the self-timed violence scenes. I liked how you could let OBL rant and rave on, or get right to beating him up. More movies here should follow such a user-directed pace.
.
My only major beef though, is that the violence seems really poorly done. The bruise marks seriously just look like gradient shapes placed on top of OBL's face, and take away from the humor of it all. Other than that, this is great work! One of the best OBL movies so far.

[eskimo bob 27]

Oo oo ahh ahh.

Short and stupid, just the way I like my Eskimo Bob. :-) I thought this episode was just okay; the lack of actual english made it seem almost too stupid. It was just a bit too random for my tastes. Decent job otherwise.

[Death of a Leader]

Go pants... Go pants...

That was great! Good graphics and animation - the cinematography was almost artistic in nature. Good sound too, though it's impossible to hear what Strawberry Clock. I have to admit though, I liked the twist ending best. I TOTALLY didn't see you coming, Pants, and it cracked me up for a minute straight. This is one of the best Anti-Clock movies.
.
As a final note: don't beg for 5's. That's not nice. ^_^

[The Clock From Space!]

Ooo hah hah!

Mua ha ha! That was hilarious. Great idea here, and well-employed with the perfect music. Good animation of the fruit clock crew... the clocks as their faces was a good idea. It ends a little weakly though, leaving you craving more... steak.... Add a better ending!
.
I think it's safe to say that Steak Clock and the rest of the Meat Clock crew reigns supreme over those fruity clocks. I smell a series!

[Diplomacy]

The best kind of diplomacy.

Mua hah hah! That has to be the best use of the word "Fuck" that I have ever heard. The twist is completely predictable, but that doesn't make it any less hilarious. I just loved the final scene with Powell and Allah. That works on so many levels.
.
Good graphics, sound, and amusing plot. This is now considered my favorite OBL movie. Taliban twister was funny, but this is great. I can't wait for your next triumph!

[SkateBoard Thrillz]

Good work for a first!

Despite your personal reservations, I actually thought this movie was quite good! Sure, it's simple stick-figure tweening action, but the skateboard carnage is very well animated, diverse, and humorous. For stick death, it looks suprisingly realistic. Plus, you went so far as to add seven separate death scenes. Most people would have stopped at two or three.
.
Nice work. I just hope you didn't make this movie out of personal experience... ouch.
