Polarizing Nonsense

You all either vote ten on it because your preteen angst results in a knee-jerk delusion to think this movie is genius because it has a character bellyaching about things you'd like to bellyache about but don't have the audience or arrogance to do so, or you vote zero on it because it's seen as a monotonous drone repeated ad-nauseum for the benefit of the aforementioned bleating mascara-drenched sheep that think it's perfect because they love anything that hates everything. I fear the creator has either made like he has an obligation to appeal to this rabbling mass, or he understands that no effort is expected of him, just make Foamy say mean things.

Today we break out Black Foamy for him to address the cultural point of "minority racism", where black people demand acceptance while living in their own little bubble that white people can't pop. God forbid people can watch "In Living Colour" and also enjoy it; no, black people have to segregate everything. It's cool when THEY do it. For eight years, these movies have been all the same, a note held indefinitely in a song that was loud and sexual, and caused a great scream from the rabble. The song was alright at the beginning and wasn't even really about the tease, but many of us are getting bored of that note, and wish that the guy would get onto the next verse. It's called insightful and expressive, but it's simply pointing and laughing. You all see him as a voice for counterculture, mocking the preppies and bolstering your hip rage and contempt, but when you see a disclaimer asking you to not be offended, you should see that illwillpress has abandoned that ideal to get preppies to buy t-shirts.

Decent creative work needs content, not just attitude. Well-made movies deserving of high praise like Brackenwood and Ola Bergner are forced to share the limelight with this exhaustive, minimalist fluff, it makes me shudder for the creative direction of Newgrounds. I don't object to limited animation, but i object fiercely to limited idea. Invader Zim was a cartoon with similarly misanthropic subject matter, but it at least had a clever, expansive idea that it could build off of and play with; this is one character doing one thing that can't be built on. You people praise these movies for their spontaneity and quick wit, but you can train anyone to do anything by impulse if he does it exactly the same way for nearly a decade. Look up Ivan Pavlov if you don't believe me.

Cultural racism isn't something to be addressed with pointing and laughing; the flaws in the idea must be pointed out. Any one of you talks like this in your head in your daily life, and you think that if it comes out of your mouth, suddenly you're an artist? Putting some kind of imaginative spin on it is where true creativity lies; illwillpress has skipped that step for a quick Daily award.

What else is funny is if I were to make a movie like this, with an angry character of some fantastic feature (ie making him an alien or an animal), a small supporting cast to egg him on, and if I put some kind of twist on it like, say, they all live on the moon or one of them is an assassin for hire, something that can actually formulate some interesting drama to voice my beliefs in a way that would stand out, you'd all say I'm ripping off Foamy, poorly at that. illwillpress has so successfully hijacked your tastes that he could make a movie where Foamy waves his testicles in your face for ten minutes and it would still seem brilliant.

But I'm an optimist. Though these movies will continue to garner blind praise from people with a shallow contempt for the norm, I like to think doing this for so long is rotting Jonathan Ian Mathers from the inside. He once had a good idea that consumed him. Eventually, he might try for ambition and really see the joy of exerting himself (more so than just making semen jokes), if he's not a pandering shill just out to stuff shelves at Hot Topic.

As for this movie, read what I wrote. It's a review of Neuroticaly Yours as a whole, I hope you at least dignify my efforts by thinking about it.

Jerry: The Early Years

There was a time in Jerry's life when there was a glimmer of happiness for a brief fleeting moment... that moment was in the Closet of Unimaginable Psychological Torment.

Clever ending, too. I wish Jerry's hair stayed white. :D

I Feel Happy

This is better animation than one sees in their average episode of "Sailor Moon", and it's about a Godzillion times better. Win!

The characters have all now settled kindly into one character trait. Foamy is angry, and Germaine is a modest nymphomaniac who goes on about sex, is the butt of semen jokes, but never actually does anything. It's a dynamite formula for the 18-24 (or the 12-18) demographic. Also, for some reason, Germaine's breasts expand when she moves them. For eight years, these movies have been all the same, a note held indefinitely in a song that was loud and sexual, and caused a great scream from the rabble. The song was alright at the beginning and wasn't even really about the tease, but many of us are getting bored of that note, and wish that the guy would get onto the next verse.

Describing bizarre sex acts and pretending to strip is not voyeuristic entertainment, it's just pandering. Any one of you talks like this in your head in your daily life, and you think that if it comes out of your mouth, suddenly you're an artist? Putting some kind of imaginative spin on it is where true creativity lies; illwillpress has skipped that step for a quick Daily award.

Why Yes!

UpdateClock DOES suck! :D

Hahaha

That Was Pretty Jesus

Clever camera work, neat 3D effects, killer music selection, everything a wonderful Flash should be.

Godly

Just... Godly.

Finally!

The "Awesome" movies now have a bit of dignity! :)

The History of Bill Cosby

We as a species think we know all there is to know about Bill Cosby.

We are wrong. This movie seeks to give us the ultimate education.

You are doing the world a great service, InsomniaClock.

How to Make a Popular Movie

Make video game characters do what they normally wouldn't.

That is all.

...What, you're saying I didn't mention decent animation, witty humour and a clever idea? Shut your mouth, this is Newgrounds we're talking about here! We're just trying to please 14-year-old internet denizens.

...No, I didn't say a "good and worthwhile" movie, I said a "popular" one. More power to you if you can get both, but the latter is far easier and more instantly gratifying than the former.
