Glad everybody had fun with it. I sure did. The only question now is whether or not I have the time or the energy to keep it up at this pace, lol.

If I do, it will probably be Boys In Blue up next. Finally.

I THINK THE COPPERS SHOULD HAVE SHOT LIKE... THE EVIL PEOPLE'S LEGS OR SOMETHING, CUZ LIKE, KILLING SEEMS MEAN

Princezsupastar · 06-15-2006, 11:55 PM

I really enjoyed this movie, it was nice to sit down and have a feel-good mivie instead of all the drama and action that we have been experiencing lately. Good job!

Mabdog · 06-16-2006, 12:03 AM

It was a pretty fun little movie. Great job.

Compcat · 06-16-2006, 12:42 AM

Yeah, it was no Flight Fright, but it was pretty entertaining.

Mabdog · 06-16-2006, 12:43 AM

lol. shut up.

I know my movie sucks donkey balls, and I don't give a shit.

Compcat · 06-16-2006, 12:49 AM

I'm just messing with you, I think everyone here has gone through that newbie stage.

That would have been no fun! Besides, it's not like they can come back for revenge, right? Prequel here. And they tried to kill our heroes... how could I have I let them live?!

Ned · 06-16-2006, 02:50 PM

My next chore is to re-release my older movies after doing some extra editing, fixing either gross technical blunders such as people walking through objects, or problems with continuity such as the middle-aged McCoy sporting blonde hair.

Examples...

The police station in Frankie's New Car needs to be the police station as seen in the newest three movies.

Okay, that's just gross. In Dirtbag and the Doctor, Hoffstead and Bongo are too large to fit correctly in the shot -- arms going through walls and everything.

Let's fix that, shall we? Won't take too much effort, and the result is much appreciated.

Great day in the morning... what an ugly set! And not only that, but it doesn't fit with the same office as seen at other points in the series.

What we want is the look of this room, from a scene in The Ghost and Sgt. Hoffstead, the installment previous to this one chronologically.

Destroy, copy, paste, move... and let's fix McCoy's hair while we're at it.

...you get the idea. I'm not going to try to remove the old-school look to the movies, of course. All I'm shooting for is a movie series that "flows" better than it would without the modifications, such that things aren't completely out-of-place if the installments are watched in chronological order. READY TO UPLOAD LIKE HECK, TUNA?

Compcat · 06-16-2006, 03:02 PM

Just like the Star Wars movies!

Ned · 06-20-2006, 12:42 PM

I'm too lazy to spoiler. So just dont read this if you dont want to spoil the movie.

I watched this movie last night. It kept me watching till the end. Which is good. Not a lot of movies do that. I couldn't even finish half of Satanik. Was there any foreshadowing behind the escaped convicts at the end? If there was, I missed it. And if there wasn't, there should have been. I just thought that was a very random plotpoint. Also, I thought the cop coming back into the story and saving them was a little strange and anti-climactic. The scene where you see somebody shot one of the convicts but you dont know who- I knew who it was already. It was kind of like watching Scooby Doo, where you automatically know who was the old pirate ghost just because you didnt have very many characters to choose from. You're just like, "oh. it was the dude at the beginning that was introduced for no reason."
All in all it was a good little movie with a good little pg-rated story.

8/10.
(also, is it just a coincidence that every single song from the movie was from the Forrest Gump soundtrack?)

Hahaha, as I've already said I didn't like it either, but seeing such a respected movie brushed off like a noob flick... like, "Vlarion was boring as hell, I had to shut it off after like 5 minutes" (not true, referring to remake, of course)

Yup, you missed it. The two police officers talk about the convicts during the police station scene towards the beginning. Haha, that would be pretty bad if it was just thrown in there, yes.

Well, the Hoffstead-Bongo relationship was the main point of the whole story. I'm not sure how you missed it.

...it was a clear plot progression of McCoy and his group searching for the hostages, apart from Bongo. Methinks you weren't paying much attention while you watched the movie: you're missing just about every clearly-presented plot point.

I love oldies, and the Forrest Gump soundtrack has some great ones. So yeah, that's how it worked out for this installment. Neat, ey?

Next time, you should spend more time setting up an "escaped convicts" sub-plot. Escaped convicts will require more set up to raise the ante of their intrusion into the story. because it's more generic of a plot device. As opposed to crazed lazer gun toting monkeys that escaped from the circus who only need to be mentioned once, since the impact of their arrival in the story is going to be so intense.

dude. i know that. I'm not retarded. I'm talking about McCoy.

I'm saying, by the time McCoy returns to the story, visually, we really dont care about him anymore. He's more of a prop at that point than a character. I'm just letting you know, man. That when the dude was standing there with a bullet inside of him, I 1. knew who it was. 2. didnt care that it was him, before it was even revealed. More time could have been spent on the actual plot. For example, maybe a ticking clock storyline could have been added to the end in which McCoy is trying to track the cabin based on some vague information that bongo gave him (bad reception on the police radio for example) as time is slowly running out for bongo and Hoffstead.

Well, next time I suggest mixing it up. You'd rather have your audience thinking something relevent to the story than "... wasnt this song in Forrest Gump too???"

Ned · 10:25 PM

I think you're the only one who cares about the music angle. I thought it worked great, but to each his own.

The fact that we're discussing scriptwriting in a 3d movie is somewhat amusing to me. Most 3dmm directors don't seem to even bother putting as much detail into the writing as I do. Now that I've come a ways in my 3dmming, I'm starting to get criticism about it... hahaha.

I guess I just don't agree with your points. The movie is a comedy-type, feel-good general story, not an action flick. The convicts needed exactly the amount of previous exposition that they received. They were not as critical a piece of the plot as I think you think they were supposed to be. "Crazed laser-toting monkeys" were precisely what most of them -- Justin Wawrzonek nowithstanding -- were intended to be. Welcome to the East Seattle saga.

I thought the few scenes with McCoy at the beginning serve to establish him as a warm, likable character who has a strong bond with Hoffstead. We continue to see him throughout the movie at key points, so it's not as if he's randomly shoved in there at the end. Again, it's a comedy, so I wasn't interested in a mind-bending, action-packed finale.

So yeah, if things didn't grab you, then fine. But from my standpoint, everything worked out great* as far as the screenplay is concerned.

* Okay so it wasn't PERFECT...

Um... y-... yeah i'm sure you do. but from my standpoint, it did not. is what i'm saying.

Ned · 06-23-2006, 01:42 PM

Fair enough.

Ned · 06-30-2006, 08:58 PM

The next six installments are finished with touch-ups and will be re-released as soon as Tuna is able to upload them. If he decides to re-review them it might be a bit more of a wait, but no problem. Come to think of it, Tom Bown was cool enough to upload this honker; maybe he has the time and storage space for yet even more movie hosting, hmmm...?

Bown · 07-01-2006, 06:33 AM

Sure, just talk to me on AIM.

Ned · 06-14-2007, 04:02 PM

Hey folks, back in the scene for a while to post AVI and Google Video versions of the movies while I have a break inbetween quarters. Thank you Demented Ferret!

Demented Ferret · 06-14-2007, 04:05 PM

Y'know, Sanity Clause is on my list of stuff to convert tonight - just make sure all of the software works beforehand, give a shorter movie a trial conversion. If you want the details to the 3dmmcommunity account on Google Videos, hit me up on AIM/MSN/Gtalk/PM/Whatever

.

Ned · 06-14-2007, 04:16 PM

Seeing as how I've already uploaded a few of the movies onto my own Goggle Video account, I think I'll stick with my own for now. Although I'd have no problem if you wanted to upload them to the community's account yourself after I release them.

Demented Ferret · 06-14-2007, 04:18 PM

Yeah, that's okay - I just thought it'd be a good idea to have everything under one browsable catalogue. Give your movies the [3dmm.com] tag in the title and things should be cool (recommended movies will be other 3dmm movies, other than random Google Video clips).
