[DBZ in a Nutshell]

Zany stuff!

That was great zany DBZ humor; a worthy DBZ parody. The sad part is, it's completely true. What you covered in there took about 80 episodes in real life. DBZ, while a cool show, is about 90% gawking, pointless dialouge, or bantering back and forth about power levels. While you may have cut-and-paste graphics, I say kudos to you for the great fast-paced dialouge... and for speeding up the pace a little. -_^

[Scooby Doo ..Tension Tent]

Time for a Scooy Snack...

Ha ha ha... that was pretty funny. I love re-edited TV sound-files. Oh sure, the graphics are kinda "queer", and the sound probably isn't yours, but heck, it's damn funny.

[XiaoXiao Beth the Thief!]

And?

Good message, TFX. But submitting a crappy text file to complain about a stolen stick file doesn't make things any better. I agree with you, but this is meant for the BBS, not for the Portal.
.
And besides, the movie has (after this movie was made) been transferred to Zhu Zhu. Not the greatest of solutions, but it suits me fine.

TFX responds:

First off, 99% of all Portal viewers don't go to the BBS, so if there's some grand point that needs to be made, this is the only way to make it. Everyone on the BBS pretty much knows this.

Secondly, this movie is several months old. The message is lost. I cannot be bitched at for this.

[Cowardly Terrorism]

Our condolences to all

A wonderful idea, and a good message on this dark day. But as a flash movie, it's (understandably) too short to be considered very poignant. While this is done in good intention, and scores wonderfully in that intent, we're reviewing this movie on ALL fronts. As a work of flash, I can only give this movie a medium mark due to its extreme shortness and thrown-together nature. I understand your desire to send this out in the same day, but a few days of thoughtful elaboration would make this movie excellent. I will vote 5 for this movie today in the hopes of a #1 spot memorial, as well as for 9/11/01.

Our hearts and prayers go out to all Americans in this dark hour. God bless.

[Grenade Dancer]

Strange but good.

What an odd and unique little movie. I actually rather liked it. An interesting premise that's fleshed out rather well with smooth frame animation, and strangely enough, a Russian anthem. I just wish it was a little longer. Now why you would dance with grenades in pink ballerina dresses to the tune of Russian Patriotism, I don't know. Maybe that's just your thing. But it does make for an interesting movie.

[PUBERTY:the story of life]

Pretty cute!

I really liked it actually! You have some natural talent with comedy, and fairly palatable artistic style. Sure, it could use some sound, and the text is kinda fast-flowing, but the basics are here: graphics, style, and humor, so this is a definite seven job. Nicely done for a first movie! I can relate.

[all yor base r blong 2 us]

All your base are owning us.

Ahh, not the infamous AYBABTU movie!! I'm suprised I never reviewed this; what with it being in the coveted #1 spot for so long.
.
Anyway, I still enjoy this movie, but probably not as much as when the whole AYB craze was huge. Still, it is quite amusing. Good emulation of Zero wing, followed by a well-paced stream of doctored images, all covered by an amusing re-mix of the poorly-translated sound file. Not bad. Not my favorite thing, but still worth a good laugh if you know the joke.
.
This movie has fallen somewhat from glory, but it's still woth the watch.

[Ocean of Infinity]

Thought it would be great, ended up okay.

I thought I was REALLY going to like this movie, but I ended up just enjoying it. Good concept of going into a black hole, but I'm not sure I found the concept of a "graveyard ocean" in a black hole very profound. Ignoring the physical impossiblity, it seems to me like there would be like time travel, or moving to an alternate dimension, or something, but not an ocean. You tried to make it seem like an endless loop, but I didn't find that too appealing either. The guy just got crushed by an inter-dimensional rock. Woo hoo.
.
Good idea, and good grahpics BTW, but I didn't like your concept of the inside of a black hole.
