"Merry Clockmas, SecretAgent!"
...For once, someone didn't make a movie with me in it that:
A: Made fun of me
B: Was made by one of my fans with no talent
C: Only featured me briefly
But asides from that, I loved the whole movie, the car crash was a lot funnier than it should been.
A BIG problem though, was that you couldn't hear the kids talking, generally you should try and fade out the music a bit, like into the "background" so you focus on the audio, it's like blurring the foreground, but with audio.
Other than that, it was great and I think there's a lot more coming for this flash movie. :)
Seriously though, references to past works:
Touch tone genius
Strawberry acquaintance
Cat on Mars
Lock Legion gift
And that undeserved image I have of being the best clock in a lot of peoples eyes...
I love you.

There's something enticing about the "low-res" animation style, you can clearly see that it's drawn and yet it maintains some incredibly smooth animation, packaged together with some creative acts of jerkery and an appropriate tune, I really do recommend this.

"Jerkery" is a great word =)

"I wish I could do some of the shit you pull."
Seriously, I often make "serious" humour flashes but you've got an incredible knack for random style shit.
Believe it!

"It's like someone set me on the fucking vibrate!"
Good show man, good show!
I especially like the detail you did to the desktop, not exactly like mine for obvious reasons like launching AIM and fitting it all in, but you got much of the sidebar right with my valuables folder there and everything. :)
Really, great jord thar!

And thank YOU for Reviewing! Now, I only wish I had Flash 8, I could have used filters to emulate more of Aero's effects (like blur and shadow).

It's awesome enough as it is, it doesn't need mass voting to pass.

"Hooray, information taken from the FAQ..."
I'm sorry but this was lack-luster and at times the information was poorly presented and based purely on opinion rather than fact.
This is ALL stuff that can be found in the FAQs and as such the information in there is far more accurate than this is, and more fair, your listed rules for reviewing don't even cover all of the guidelines.
The quizzes are absolute jokes, especially the B/p one that says you should vote 5 because someone popular or from a crew submitted a movie, and then blam someone from another crew (Banana_Clock)
I mean come on, you're telling people how to vote, you can't do that!
You might think that by telling people this that you're helping them, but you're just damaging the voting system on Newgrounds which already dodgy because of stat-whores.
As far as the design goes it's not very appealing, most of the time it's literally just boring repeating backgrounds of downloaded images from wherever with times new roman text over it, there's no coherent shape or format, it's just randomly dropped onto the frame. :\
And the music is just a choice of songs you liked, some of them don't hold too much relevance to Newgrounds.
I advise you don't even attempt to improve this, there are ENOUGH flash movies on here telling people information in the FAQs, it's absolutely asinine...
You can however work on your design skills, there are lots of ways to improve the appearance of your information, for starters it's a good thing that you've got very readable text, but it doesn't look too nice, simple things like a nice modern font like Arial on a semi-transparent shape like a rounded rectangle over a background is a good improvement for example, as well has providing borders for each individual button.
Don't give up on making flash, but avoid re-doing existing ideas like this one.
Author's Response:
Well thanks for your opinion, and sorry that it's too stat-whorish.

It goes vroom vroom.
It is a nice car.
Review time? Well the animation is simplistic, but this movie is intentionally bad and when that's the case you have the appreciate the humour, and this is fucking hilarious!
Great job on making a shittily hilarious movie. :)

And then I came a second time.
And then possibly a third time, I can't remember because I was simply too over-whelmed with the extremely talented graphics and use of cinematics, I cannot think of any improvements that could be made to how this movie is, and for that I commend you.

"That's some good artichoke porn right thar."
Why I do believe that was some seriously nostalgic animation right there, it felt just like a 2001 CC movie, despite the fact I didn't exist back then, it was fantastic. :D
The animation, simply fantastic, it was just like an old style movie, I can't get over it.

That's what i was aiming for Rupee. You made my day.
