/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

Excuse my lateness. I'm putting a playlist together right now.

Ready and waiting to go.

As usual, the prestream, with music, animations, and other videos from YouTube will be how we start off, then a little over an hour after we start the pre-stream will be when we start the movies.

Pony Theme of the week is Guardsmares.

https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

Movie schedule will be up momentarily.

>>357392
I don't have a copy ready to go, but we can do it next week probably.

Alright, here is tonight's schedule:

Merrie Melodies: How do I Know it's Sunday
The Little Rascals: Fly My Kite

The Boondock Saints (1999)

My Little Pony
S2 Eps 2-3

Samurai Jack
Eps 31 and 32

Flappy's stream will be starting once more people show up, the movies will begin once that concludes. Hope to see you all there.

Goodnight. And for the record, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. And the only way to disprove that in my eyes is to live in a ted shed and find happiness there. If the authorities don't evict you from there first.

>>357398
Make your friends the light, anon. Then you don't even have to wait around for the end of the tunnel. We will be here for you.

>>357399
What fucking friends.
Last time I checked, my only friends were a worthless NEET who I spent a year trying to help be an adult while living in a car, and someone else who has a university education and can't manage to settle down either.

>>357400
Then network out. You probably won't find much better with us, but it's a start.

>>357401
Don't talk to me like I'm not probably older than you, fucknugget. How's driving cross country, making ten different discord handles and identities, joining a dozen forums, making plans and meetups, and straight up doxing myself on a regular basis sound to you? Is that "networking" enough?

>>357402
Sorry for not mindreading. But in all honesty, I am not trying to talk down to you or anything. I want you to not feel like shit. If you feel like you have hit a dead end, then that mindspace is going to keep you from feeling better. I know we have some anons that own their own small businesses around if you are looking for tips or maybe even work if you are interested in that. If not, I'm not trying to pressure you or pretend that I know the magic solution to your troubles.

>>357398
Ah, glad to see you're alive. Alcohol is one of the inventions as a cure all for everything. Both good, bad and strange.
When a person is spread out too thin usually mounting a defense or expansion is nigh on impossible. Too thick there is a solid ever continual achieving, yet solely concentrated on a singular target.
There is the path that is not too thin nor too thick and it's just right. Any approximation nearing that is good enough.
The subconscious unless taught and grows, repeats and obsesses. When confronted with a conundrum it'll try making do with the easiest yet wrong answer. Because that's a flawed answer it'll continue to obsess over it.
The answer boils down to everything and the cards delt with what was known then. The subconscious needs direction that's its purpose. Otherwise it'll go around trying to go provide a direction and like a spinning top keep spinning around changing direction.
It can do all sorts of things, the consciousness has one real job technically two.
First is to experience stuff.
Second is to provide conundrums.
If the subconscious has no conundrums then 'lack of conundrums' is a conundrum so it'll make problems so it'll work on them.
The subconscious wants to play what if games, the more brutal they are the better. It's specialized for certain types of work. The moment exhaustion creeps in is the point where the subconscious is most excited to do your bidding, because it is then a person can kick over the near complete sand castle really twisting in the metaphorical knife providing two bigger conundrums.
Anyway it's all fun and games no matter the 'fun' or 'games'.

>>357406
First off, ENGLISH. Second, what part of homeless, financial destitution and burning hatred for everyone in my life doesn't qualify as conundrum-worthy?

I made the pre-stream longer this week mostly by accident. The result is that I'll try to start it earlier than usual. As has become habit, we'll start off with a good chunk of music, then there will be small animations and PMVs to space things out.

I've also added a partial radio play to the next few weeks of the pre-stream. Different voice actors and even added sound effects and music. I haven't seen the videos in full, so I don't remember if we get visuals to go with it.

https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

I'll be ready to start the stream as soon as a few people come by.

>>350055
Let us see what OP has.

Alrighty folks, it's that time again. Here is tonight's program:

>>357687
Eh...probably we could. I have a couple of other movies I wanted to show first, but I can add that one to the queue if you like.

Made a filler playlist until FlappyPterodactyl is here.

Also if anyone is interested, I made a recording of a couple of those pony-themed waiting room animations I put together. There were a couple of people last week who requested them.

comfy stream

>>357896
Very comfy. Didn't expect it to be so comfy, in fact. Kitchen Nightmares is primo kino.

I think I'll just advertise this just in case it ends up being a regular thing too -- the ancient /mlpol/ party room on cytube is in use for miscellaneous videos and music for each other. No restrictions on it, except common video posting courtesy. I think I'll be there nightly with music while I game and stuff, just in case anyone pops in and wants to share in the fun.
https://cytu.be/r/mlpol_party_room

>>357890
>>357896
>>357923
I'm sorry I closed the playlist yesterday leaving you guys hanging.

The theme of the week is "Terrifying Decisions" ie: images that show something happening that will have terrifying results somehow.

Room is open now. We'll start shortly.

On the menu for this half of the stream tonight I copied one of the "Best Brony Music of January 2022" playlists, that Abraham Lincoln Rageaholic video mentioned last week, and two shorter pieces of music just as a palette cleanser from the longer video.

Pony theme of the week is comic Twilight.

Regarding the emotes we have in the chatroom, I'm thinking that that database could use a bit of work.

If you can think of some sort of emotes we should have images for to express things, then I'll see what I can do when I do maintenance on that. Post your suggestions and requests in the thread.

Can you play the original Planet of the Apes? It features a hoers.

>>358596
>emote suggestions
We need moar Leslie, she's a cutie horse.
>>358713
I think we watched it a year or so ago, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

some more suggestions

The way CyTube does emotes is with hotlinks. That's part of why I put PonerPics's thumbnails as the suggested way to get images in the chat, since those use "our" site and they're thumbnails, which minimizes server strain (I hope). I'll quickly try to find some of those leslie images on

For emotes, I didn't mean just more pictures to post, but rather tools for communicating something. Honestly, I think I need to purge a lot of the less relevant images so that it's easier to find the relevant ones. We've got some broken links, too that I need to prune.

The playlist is ready to go, and I found a YouTube source for The Tick so we can continue watching that.
Leslie is going to be the Pony Of The Week, and I'm working on the emotes now.

Here is tonight's movie schedule:

Merrie Melodies: Gold Diggers of '49
Our Gang: Free Eats

Rebel Without A Cause (1955)
A poignant film about urban decay, inspired by Kid Rock's seminal album "Devil Without a Cause" and featuring the fabulous acting of a man who would later go on to make a fortune selling microwavable breakfast sausages.

HOERES
S6 eps 12 & 13

SMMAMURAI
Eps 41 & 42

Program will commence as usual following Flappy's stream. Hope to see you all there.

Oops. Got caught up in emote pruning. I'll have my stuff up shortly.

We are all set and ready to go! Getcher asses in here!

We did do Planet of the Apes, but it was awhile ago, and as I recall we had some stream issues on the night we showed it. I'm open to showing it again. There were similar issues the night we watched American Psycho, and I think someone requested we show that one again as well.

>>358883
I second American Psycho

The Pre-Stream Playlist today came out to two hours, including the two episodes of The Tick I dropped in at the end. Just letting Elway know in case it affects how he wants to build his playlist.

Pony Theme Of The Week is Celestia with Cake, as I just celebrated my birthday the other day.

>>359153
Happy Birthday Flappy!!!

>>359129
Alright, so that's two votes for American Psycho I think, plus I'm in a mood to watch it, so that will be the movie tonight. Since Flappy has a slightly longer playlist, I've decided to drop Our Gang this week. We will resume it next week. So without further ado, here is tonight's movie schedule:

Merrie Melodies: Alpine Antics

American Psycho (2000)
The long-awaited prequel to Canadian Psycho.

Hoeres:
S6 eps 14 and 15

Smamaurai:
Eps 43 and 44

Program will commence as usual following Flappy's stream, same bat time, same bat channel. Hope to see you all there. Also, Happy Birthday Flappy

Thanks, Elway.

The Pre-Stream tonight will consist of the same pattern of MLP Fan Music, some videos, some PMVs, and then the next episode of The Tick.

The Tick

Season 1 Episode 6 - The Big Leagues - The Tick and Arthur are invited to join the League of Superheroes. Captain Liberty, jealous that she wasn't chosen, hires a top notch lawyer with the help of Batmanuel to sue The League. Unknown to either The Tick, Arthur, Batmanuel, or Captain Liberty, her lawyer is actually the Champion, the racist and misogynistic leader of The League of Superheroes. The Tick and Arthur soon figure out that The League is more of club when they won't spring into action against minor crimes, so they renounce their memberships and leave. The pair then help Captain Liberty by exposing the Champion's true identity in front of the entire law firm which results in the League opening a new group without the Champion.

Title: The Big Leagues
Air Date: December 21, 2001
Runtime: 30 min
Genres: Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi

Pony theme of the week is "injury", as I had a little emergency room adventure last week due to work. I'll be back on Monday, but it still feels like a major life event just happened.

I can hang out in the room early, but I should wait until the normal time 7pm Eastern before starting the playlist. That means that I'll have an open playlist until then for watching whatever until the Pre-Stream starts. If you want to mention this stream in some of your other Pony chatrooms to get a bit more movement in the chat, feel free to do so.

I've also got a different video I'd like to experiment with after the movie and Smarmara are done, if anyone's still interested in being up after that.

>>359838
B-but what happened to those mares?

>>359840
I'd say it was the dragon episode where they had to work a little harder to win the day.

Also, the Pony Theme for this week will be Safety Squad.

>>360023
>Safety Squad
YAY!

>>360025
Ouch. Here is the pony.

Hi guys, quick update: Due to an unexpected after work get-together, I might be a bit late assembling the playlist and getting things sorted. Today's been a bit of an adventure.

As a result, tonight's theme will instead be St Patrick's Day. The Safety Squad will be nearby, and will have the spotlight next week instead.

>>360076
Quickly heading out to buy some Whisky and Rum. BRB.

Alright, the room's ready, the booze is flowing, and it's St Patrick's Day.

Hey all, I'm running a bit late too. Movie schedule will be up momentarily.

Alright lads, here are tonight's movies.

Merrie Melodies: Porky's Poultry Plant
Our Gang: Pooch

The Secret of Roan Inish (1994)[/b]
I was going to show Natural Born Killers, then I remembered it's St. Patrick's Day, so we've got something Irish this week. I haven't seen this movie since I was 11, but I remember it being good.

Hoereures:
S6 eps 20 and 21

Smmarmararmria:
Eps 49 and 50

>>360081
what time did the movie start?

>>360081
Also, new here, how do you post comments, do you need an account? And if so, how do?

>>360083
>>360081
nvm. figured it out

After some newer names have been showing up in the chatroom over the last couple of weeks, the idea of working on the emotes list for the newfriends came up.

I've only done a very quick skim of the emotes list and pruned a small handful of the less relevant images. What sorts of pruning do people think needs to be done to the emotes list, if any?

I started with Occult's list and have just been making small additions here and there, pruning broken links, and renaming some emotes to group them properly in the list. As far as grouping and organization of the emotes list goes, there's a bunch of work left to do on that front, but how heavy/light I should go on "sanitizing" the emote list for newer people is something I'm not sure about.

The goal here is to maintain the /MLPOL/ culture and the room's generally censorship free state while still growing the Watch Party / Movie Night population.

Umm... what?

I was asking more along the lines of how the Movie Night regulars wanted the character of the Emotes in. The room is called /MLPOL/ WATCH PARTY, or something to that effect, so friendship windmill silliness is implied. I was wondering if the fact that it's on the front page of the emote responses would scare too many internet wanderers out of the room, whether that would attract censorious or otherwise nefarious attention to the room, and whether anyone in the room gave a fuck about it.

Also, there are some outright pornographic images in the emote list with little relevance for group conversation, and I don't know if I need to care whether the cytube owner gives a fuck.

Are those emote tags from other chatrooms that you're requesting I add to the current emote list? I just checked, and at the very least, "qt" and "bitch" do not have entries in the list, and did not have entries at the time of your posting.

Regardless, I did give the emote list a quick once-over to check for things like dead links, images that are practically never used, and images that might be better renamed so as to sort them out in the list better. There are a ton of different kinds of changes I could make, so I'm trying to really limit the scope of what I try to do when I'm opening the hood there.

>>360447
>whether anyone in the room gave a fuck about it
This pretty much.
Visitors should conform to /mlpol/'s etiquette.

A suggestion: Sex Drive (2008). Great movie, some PUA type themes but a wholesome message about settling down and having meaningful sex in the end.

>>360447
>outright pornographic images
>little relevance for group conversation
Pick one.

>>360081
Other than "Natural Born Killers" that you said you wanted to watch and "Sex Drive" that the other anon wanted to watch, I'd also be interested to see "Prisoners" (2013) which is like a murder mystery/detective/etc movie. I haven't seen it but I'd like to, it seemed good.

Obligatory pone to sweeten the deal.

Movie Suggestions:
>The good Terminator movies
>Judge Dredd
>Predator
>A bunch of the classic action movies, really, but interspersed with the

I wanna watch Mad Max.

The room is open!

As promised, the Pony Theme of the week this week is Safety Squad! Let's all have a safe stream tonight, and make sure you have plenty of liquid near you to stay hydrated.

Hello all, here is tonight's movie schedule:

Merrie Melodies: Milk and Money
Our Gang: Hook and Ladder

Natural Born Killers (1994)

Ponies:
S6 Eps 22 and 23

Samurai Jack:
Tonight we finish up the last two episodes of the original series. Apparently Adult Swim produced a final season that continued the story, if I can find it by next week we'll continue with that, otherwise new week will start a new cartoon, probably Ghost Hunters.

I'll be a few more minutes putting together the post for the pre-stream. This will be our finale of The Tick this week, so I want to put that in the images. The playlist is ready to go.

Alright, Lads and Germs!

Tonight is special. We have the season finale of The Tick tonight. I also found a new pony music artist with four songs out so far, which are in the playlist, and I've also put in more non-pony content this week than I expected. I'll weigh the pony content more heavily in future streams.

Without further ado, let's get the night started.

[shift #00F, #199cff]Season 1 Episode 9 - The Terror[/shift]
At Arthur and the Tick's one-year anniversary of becoming a team, the group recalls how Captain Liberty, angry at the Tick for stealing her thunder and for his overconfidence, sicced 112-year-old villain The Terror on him and Arthur.

>ponified Tick
WOW! Damn! I never thought that could be possible.

I will not be joining this Friday, but if y'all still convene, you should watch Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ.
-Corneliu

>>361127
That's a painfully long hardcore movie anon. And not quite app for comfy Movie Night.
Just saying.

>>361128
There was another Mel Gibson movie that's relatively recent. We could watch that at some point.

I've decided that the show we'll watch in the Pre-Stream will be ReBoot, and that we'll give the animated version of The Tick a rest for now, as we just finished a Tick series.

Also, I just found out that we just passed the one year anniversary of these pre-streams a week or two ago, so I'm making that the theme this week.

We watched the first two episodes of the animated version of The Tick and the first two episodes of ReBoot last week, but I'll give ReBoot it's "official" introduction in this post.

This is the description from the playlist:
- - - - -
ReBoot is a Canadian computer-animated TV series that originally aired on YTV from 1994 to 2001. It was produced by Vancouver-based Mainframe Entertainment, Alliance Communications and BLT Productions. The animated series was created by Gavin Blair, Ian Pearson, Phil Mitchell, and John Grace, with the visuals designed by Brendan McCarthy after an initial attempt by Ian Gibson. It was one of the world's first CGI television series.

The series follows the adventures of a Guardian named Bob and his companions Enzo and Dot Matrix as they work to keep the computer system of Mainframe safe from the viruses and other threats.
A reimagined, live-action/CGI-animated series, ReBoot: The Guardian Code, was announced in 2015,[6] and the first ten episodes debuted on Netflix worldwide (excluding Canada) on March 30, 2018.[7] YTV aired all twenty episodes from June 4 to July 5, 2018.

The series follows the adventures of a Guardian named Bob and his companions Enzo and Dot Matrix as they work to keep the computer system of Mainframe safe from the viruses known as Megabyte and Hexadecimal. The setting is in the inner world of a computer system known by its inhabitants as Mainframe. It was deliberately chosen due to technological constraints at the time, as the fictional computer world allowed for blocky looking models and mechanical animation.[8]
A recurring plot thread is when the User loads a game, an electrical violet cube lowers onto part of the city. Anyone trapped inside becomes NPCs and have the chance to stop the User. If the User wins, the area is destroyed and the residents reduced to leech like creatures called Nulls.

- - - - -
Reboot |S1.E3| Quick & The Fed
- A magnet threatens to erase Dot.

Reboot |S1.E4| Medusa Bug
- Hexadecimal tricks Megabyte into releasing a bug that threatens to turn all of Mainframe into stone.

Most of the Pre-Stream content is music this week, then we have the two episodes of ReBoot.

The room is open, and the music will start shortly.

We're off to the races now!

Getting the movie schedule prepared, should be up momentarily.

Here is tonight's program:

Merrie Melodies: Beau Porky
Our Gang: Free Wheeling

Wayne's World (1992)
An old SNL movie from back in the days when SNL was actually funny. Featuring the comic stylings of Dana Carvey, who would later go on to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

My Lovely Horse
S6 eps 24 and 25

Samurai Jack: The Second Coming
Eps 1 and 2

Also, to the anon that requested Pokemon: The Guardians of Altomare, are you sure that's the correct title? I looked for it but couldn't find any information.

>>361298
An alternative title is Pokémon Heroes: Latios and Latias, but if nothing springs up that's just life.

>>350059
In light of recent MILF posting i find it adequate to bump this post

>>361298
Here's the link:
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

Playlist is made, putting post together now.

Hello, everyone! After another week, we have another movie night.

We'll be watching our usual mix of MLP music, animations, and a few other odds and ends in the pre-stream as well as episodes five and six of season one of ReBoot. I've done something unusual and put an entire album from a single artist in the rotation for the night to try that out. We'll see how same-y it is, and how much we want to balance that out with variety.

Image themes of the week are prison, dog, and sick, based on the episode summaries. I remember the prison episode being from the perspective of the guard, while the user is one of the prisoners, and it'll be more sci-fi than the prison images I was able to grab, but they'll do.

See you soon!

Was a fun stream

How did people find the format for the stream last night?

Specifically, putting an entire small album from one artist in the playlist. I'm thinking that I ideally want to avoid having too long a stretch of the same style of music. Albums can be great at taking the listener through a nuanced and enriching conceptual journey and all that stuff, but I'm aiming for a more casual kind of experience that doesn't require paying that close attention in order to get the most out of it.

Adding a bunch of songs just from one artist's page would be convenient, but I have a vague sense that it would limit things or change the character of the playlists too much.

>>361642
>How did people find the format for the stream last night?
I liked it. although i missed half of it.

I missed the album, i think that it could be a good idea though, im not opposed to it.

The pre-stream will start probably fifteen to thirty minutes later than usual tonight. Work went late this week.

Lads and Gents, we present to you a somewhat late stream night once again! We've still got a variety of songs and animations for you all. I found an animation channel that does cutesy stuff, and there was a 4 part series of "Ask Frigid Drift" videos, so I thought I'd toss those in.

After the MLP stuff, we have our ReBoot episodes, followed by Elway's movie selection.

The total playlist length did come to 1hr 50m when I put it together. Due to time constraints tonight, I thought it best to just go with the first "complete" feeling playlist I could come up with and not edit for time. I do try to put some structure into these playlists.

I spent all week doing flood relief work, making tons of sandbags, moving them, and building the walls. I'd prefer to use that as the theme of the week, but, again, time constraints.

Captain Capacitor, the software pirate, loots Mainframe but is bested by Admiral Dot.

Nonsense and blogposting aside, the room is open, so come on in!

Since it sounds like we'll be starting about a half hour late I've decided to chop Our Gang this week, we'll resume it next week. Here is tonight's revised movie schedule:

Loony Tunes: Porky in the North Woods

Beavis and Butthead Do America (1996)
We've technically watched this before, but I remember someone requesting it in chat recently, and it's in keeping with our "funny shit from the 90s" streak of the last few weeks.

Poni
S7 Eps 2 and 3

Smamurai
Eps 5 and 6

also here's some cute >nohooves just for a change of pace, feel free to crucify me

Can you play Rain Man? It gives me hope that my autism might someday be useful.

Like usual, we have a week of music, a PMV or two, then a couple episodes of ReBoot. I tried to select this week's images from my folder based on the "Wizards, Warriors, and a Word from our Sponsor" theme of the first episode and got a little carried away.

The room is open, and we're good to go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
09 "Wizards, Warriors, and a Word from our Sponsor"
Mike the TV is a winning part of the team.

One that could be fun to have along with Ponk dancing is Lyra.

I want watch train movie. "Unstoppable" movie is about train runaway and is an allegory for my lust for mares. Can we watch that movie and maybe little House on prairie?
ty for considering

>>362166
also i got dubs we watch train movie and little House on prairie?

>>362167
>also i got dubs
That's not fair.

>>362166
Good movie

Hey all, I’m unfortunately not going to be able to do movie night tonight. Hopefully Flappy can run one of his backup programs, otherwise I will see you all next week.

>>362376
Oh, that might be a bit of an issue. I'm doing a post work thing, (booze and wings courtesy of the boss, because having a few brews with the guys after work wasn't enough fun) so I'll be late getting home tonight. I'll see if I can co-ordinate with Occult over matrix, but I'm limited to my phone right now.

>>362382
Okay, I'm home now and getting stuff together. I assume we'll either have a random stream night or we'll find some long-form content on YT. My backup hosted stream hasn't been checked on in months, and the time to work out the kinks and get it up and running probably isn't when I'm running two hours behind schedule.

I'll just slap a music compilation in there for now and post something here when I have something a bit more substantial.

Was in the 4cup stream
Uhhh there is some ai dubed episodes and uhh
I'll temperatlrly open it up

Occult is in the room and is streaming the MLP AI Redub episodes here. That'll be a good start.

No real theme now, only porn.

Improv stream is a GO!

>>362389
Flappy is an mvp

>>362393
You're a champ for getting _something_ playing on the stream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For posterity's sake, I'll mention that we DID get a full playlist on there, which I saved a copy of on the CyTube playlist management tool. The show of the night was the first two episodes of Shadow Raiders, made by the same people who made ReBoot, but this would have been made a few seasons in to ReBoot, so we got to see better animation technology at play. I just want to keep posting the episode summaries for ReBoot, and didn't have the time or mental bandwidth to do that on the fly. The movie of the night was Empire of Dust. That's the documentary where the "It's all so tiresome" meme (picture attached) came from.

The YT link I tried using for Empire of Dust was muted during the music montages, but we're lucky enough to have another champ who found a good link for Empire of Dust that had all the audio where it's supposed to be. I'm sorry I don't remember who to credit for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For this week, I'm going to try to put together some Fluttershy-centric music and videos for the pre-stream. There's a risk that we won't have a good flow of moods in the content for the evening, but we'll see when we get there. I can slap a music playlist in there to replace that stuff if we decide that that's an issue.

I'm putting the playlist together now, and it turns out we're still a couple episodes away from the finale of Season One. One regular episode, which you're going to like since it's basically the writers complaining about the network censorship they have to deal with, and a two-parter finale.

That means that this Fluttershy-themed week will be a bit lighter on the Fluttershy content than I expected. I'll still try to get the total playlist length down to about an hour and forty-five minutes. (One hour plus two episodes.)

Alrighty folks, I'm back this week.

Here is the movie schedule for tonight. Also, since we've been doing the Our Gang shorts for awhile now and there are still a fuckton of them to get through, I thought it might be fun to take a break and watch a different show for a bit. I have another old classic series that I thought would be fun to watch, so I've scheduled that for tonight. If we like it, we can keep watching; otherwise we can just go back to Our Gang.

Merrie Melodies: Porky's Road Race
Mystery Selection :DDDDDDDDD

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)
Sequel to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure from 2 weeks ago. Is NOT the 2020 pozzed sequel.

Hores:
S7 Eps 6 and 7

SMmerermamureia
Eps 9 and 10 (finale)

Also, we'll be finishing up Samurai Jack tonight. I'll actually be out of town for the next 2 or 3 weeks, so while I may try to pop into the stream I will not have access to my movie collection or streaming software and thus will not be able to show movies, so you guys will have to fend for yourselves for a bit. I was thinking Flappy could finish showing Ghost Hunters in the interim since there was a plan to do that anyway. When I come back, I have an anime I thought would be fun to show, we'll see what everyone thinks of it.

Also, requesting that pic 2 be made into a reaction image for the chat.

Also, program will commence following Flappy's pre-stream as usual. Hope to see you all there.

Total playlist time is just under two hours, and that was a lot of trimming. It works out to under an hour of Fluttershy content plus a bit over an hour of ReBoot.

As this is a Fluttershy themed thread, I tried to keep the focus on her as a character, showing clips from the show, and go a bit lighter on the music and PMVs. Including everything would take way too much time.

There's a Fluttershy Thread that's up over here >>359123 → for more Fluttershy images to sate your thirst for ButterHush, should it please you.

Season I to Season II transition
Canada: January 1995

In the US, there were five months of reruns (March 1995 to August 1995) before ABC showed "Talent Night" on 12-Aug-95. After three more weeks of reruns, "Identity Crisis" was broadcast as the first two episodes of the 2nd season (9-Sep-95 and 16-Sep-95).

The opening was changed for the second season. Matthew Sinclair replaced Jesse Moss as the voice of Enzo starting with episode 11.

11 "Talent Night"
Dot auditions several acts for Enzo's birthday party, including the guys from "Money For Nothing" and the Small Town Binomes. The binome joke, Dot's singing and the guitar duel from this episode are on the CD-ROM that comes with the action figures.
Game: none from the User.

On my way.

Thank you Flappy and Elway for hosting movie night! I especially loved the showing of the entire Samurai Jack series. For those who missed it, it's the most based animated series ever produced and is definitely worth watching.

Hello everybody Dr- I mean OccultFacade here, movie night will continue.
For this Friday Feature line up is:

Short length feature: Popeye Vs Sinbad
Colorful archive footage of Popeye from Samurai Jack going back in time like the Terminator to eliminate the threat of some fatguy.

12 Angry Men (colorized and may be missing footage)
PSA on why talking to people is a dangerous activity for the communities, and how people regularly tend to fail somehow. Also anger, but in AI color.

MLP:FiM >No Hooves?! The Second Movie.
It's like Ponies, but worse! Using the power of memetic music ponies disguised as >No Hooves discover all >No Hooves may actually have hooves...
The directors cut had them be out of costume for the entire movie sadly that is lost to multiple fires and rain damage all that's left is the costumed version.
unless someone finds a better movie on the JewTube

>>363019
Thanks a lot for taking over the streaming tonight. I see some stuff happened in the cytube room to gather the links.

Good news: I found an online archive of Ghost Stories, so we can still get those episodes in. We were on episodes 6 and 7 for tonight. Episode 5 was the one with the evil rabbit thing.

With these bits of good news, I'd say tonight's event is off to a magnificent start.

Another Friday, another curated Movie Night! I've got just under 2 hours of stuff, including the ReBoot episodes. Considering that they'll replace the Samurai Jack stuff, I think we're okay for time.

Trying to figure out a way to get a live "here's how long your playlist is right now" counter to look at while I'm building the playlist is something that would probably help with this. Maybe I'll start building playlists ahead of time so they're more finely tuned or something.

The room is open, and we're at the starting line!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ReBoot Episodes

14 (v2.1) - "Infected" - 31 August 1995 (Canada)
Megabyte interferes with the scheduled upgrade, infiltrates the Core.
Game: none, but Dot does a neat Sigourney Weaver imitation.
Disguised as an upgrade, Megabyte enters Mainframe's core control chamber. He badly hurts Phong and initiates an Erase Command that almost destroys the System, only to be thwarted by Bob exploiting his greed. Hexidecimal hints at a surprising connection to Megabyte.
Cultural references: Megabyte uses a self-destruct command and a pose emulating the film Predator, while Dot's use of an Exo-Skeleton may refer to Ellen Ripley in Aliens. When Dot attempts to crush Megabyte with a mechanical exoskeleton, a shot of his head is shown where his eyes dim in a way similar to the way the Terminator is destroyed in The Terminator.

15 (v2.2) - "High Code" - 7 September 1995 (Canada)
A code master comes looking for a master who has left the guild.
Game: Wild West Locomotive
A Codemaster, Lens the Reaper, wreaks havoc in Mainframe while looking to challenge the legendary Codemaster Talon who took refuge in the system. Phong and Bob assure him that there is no one in Mainframe called Talon. Enzo discovers that Old Man Pearson is Talon, and has to convince him to come out of hiding—while Bob tricks Lens into a Game with the hope of nullifying them both to save the System. In the end, Lens is moved by the Mainframers' honorable willingness to die for each other.
Cultural references: The title refers to High Noon. The Game references the real-life Canadian town of Spuzzum. As Enzo travels to see Old Man Pearson, he sings the theme song to "Batman". The weapon of choice of a Codemaster, the Gibson coil pike, is a reference to William Gibson, author of Neuromancer. The number on the train, 9502, reflects that this was the second episode produced in the 1995 season.

The Ghost Stories Episodes

6 - "Blood Money" - 13 October 1997
A crooked lawman hounds an ex-con bank robber to determine the whereabouts of his buried loot. Upon retrieving the ill-gotten booty, the dirty cop discovers to his horror that the money's even dirtier – it's haunted by the spirits of those who were killed during the heist.

7 - "Landscape of Lost Dreams" - 20 October 1997
A couple returns to their honeymoon hotel in a last-ditch effort to save their crumbling marriage. When the wife vanishes, the husband is suspected of killing her. It turns out she has disappeared into a seemingly bucolic landscape painting.

On that note: I'm soliciting stream feedback! If anyone has something they want to say about the stream, it's format, images in the emotes that we're missing somehow, or anything else that pops in your mind, then please use this as an anchor post for the feedback. I like tinkering with things, so while I'm doing this stream night thing, I'd like to make it better over time.

ReBoot Episodes

(v2.3) 16 "When Games Collide" - 14 September 1995 (Canada)
Megabyte steals energy from a game cube. The user sends in another game cube which merges with the first to form an out-of-control game.

Game: Chromebots, Basic Combat, Dinosaurs
Cultural references: The gateway command is identical in shape and function to the gateway from the contemporary Stargate movie.

(v2.4) 17 "Bad Bob" - 21 September 1995 (Canada)
Megabyte attacks the Principal Office. His theft of the core energy messes up the game cube.

Game: Mad Max (Road Warrior)
Cultural references: Many of the events during the game "Road Warrior" are taken directly from the Mad Max films, as well as characters, vehicles and landscape. The Number One character appears to be wearing a Star Trek uniform and has similar facial features and speech to Commander Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Upon seeing part of Mainframe's core corrupted, a binome exclaims "Maniacs! They blew it up! – a reference to Planet of the Apes. When Bob crashes his car, a binome references This Island Earth by asking if he is having trouble with his interocitor. She also references Jefferies tubes, suggesting that he flushes out the Daniels tubes. Kelly Daniels was the show's Director of Technical Operations. Enzo says he based his aircart design on an X-MP/48. The User's car is almost identical to the Batmobile from the late 1980s/early 1990s Batman movie series.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ReBoot Episodes

(v2.5) 18 - Painted Windows - 2 November 1995 (Canada)
Hexadecimal accesses the system's Paint program, and Mainframe is her canvas. She soon begins to wreak havoc, causing a communications blackout, and melting all forms of transport, and glitch.

Cultural references: Renditions of several famous artworks appear throughout this episode, including "The Thinker", "The Creation of Adam" and Edvard Munch's "The Scream". Hexadecimal's monologue near the beginning of the episode is in reference to Night Gallery. At the end of the episode, Mike's line "Mother! What have you done?" is a reference to Norman Bates.

(v2.6) 19 - AndrAIa - 9 November 1995 (Canada)
Enzo is depressed because he feels lonely. During an underwater game, he befriends a game sprite named AndrAIa. When the game is won, he discovers she attached a back-up copy of herself to his icon so they can remain together.

Cultural references: A Jean-Luc Picard-styled binome appears near the start of the episode, dressed in a Starfleet uniform; the binome repeatedly says "make it so" and "engage" and later asks for "tea, Earl Grey". Another binome has a bad hairpiece and speaks in pauses in an exaggerated impersonation of Captain Kirk. During Bob's lecture on how to survive in a Game, he sees a binome with "i ♥ U" written on her eyelids, a reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark. The "AI" in AndrAIa's name stands for artificial intelligence. When the game cube is falling, one of the binomes escaping the diner is Waldo. When the User is nearing the city of Atlantis in the game cube, statues of King Ghidorah can clearly be seen. The game at the beginning of the episode is the same game as the first episode. This episode has the second foreshadowing of a future injury of Enzo's. Bob uses Homer Simpson's famous catchphrase "d'oh".

Ghost Stories Episodes

10 - Cloistered - 27 October 1997
A lonely care-giver to the elderly falls for a man whom she believes is kept in his house by his domineering mother. But as their secret relationship grows, she is horrified to learn that the young man is not what he seems.

Yes.

Hey everyone, I have returned from the abyss. Unless there are strenuous objections, I was planning to resume the usual schedule for movie night.

I haven't finished putting a program together yet, but before I do I wanted to confirm that you guys were still watching Ghost Stories. According to the schedule for last week that Flappy posted you've watched through ep 11. I have the whole series and I was thinking I could just do eps 12 and 13 as the cartoon segment tonight, but if you guys watched extra episodes and managed to finish it while I was gone, I have some other anime I can show.

>>363996
Hooray! Welcome back.

>>363996
Hi Elway! Glad to have you back.
That'll be just fine.

I'm still getting up from a nap that went longer than I intended, so I'll be another 15-ish minutes making the playlist.

>>363998
>>363997
Thanks! it's good to be back.

And without further ado, here is tonight's movie schedule:

Merrie Melodies - Porky's Romance
The Honeymooners - Funny Money

True Romance (1993)

Equines:
S7 Eps 8 and 9

Spirits:
Eps 12 and 13

Friday Fun-Time is on it's way now.

This week has a four-part storyline that's going to change the tone of the show a lot, and I think it'd be a mistake to cut them. I'm spacing them out with some stuff. We could probably cut the latter two episodes if people want. I'll just double check that it's not a cliffhanger on episode 2.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ReBoot Episodes

(v2.7.1) 21 - Nullzilla - 27 December 1995 (Canada)

A giant monster made of Nulls attacks mainframe. The main characters, including the newly-added AndrAIa, are picked to defend the city.

Cultural references: Phong dresses up the group in Power Ranger-like uniforms, and their vehicles form a giant robot and battle the monster. The office in which Phong readies the team to combat Hex is similar to that seen on Tracy Island of Thunderbirds, as are the chutes through which the team travels to the vehicle hangar. When the heroes combat Hex, they appear as parodies of both Power Rangers and Voltron, and fight in a parody of the Mega Zord formed by a similar command to Voltron's "Go Voltron Force!" phrase. The Web Creature that attacks Hex and later Megabyte, turns them black, similar to how the Symbiote succeeded in changing Spider-Man before later becoming Venom. The code F.A.B. is a reference to a radio acknowledgment for the Thunderbirds as well as an acronym for Fully Acknowledged and Briefed.

(2.7.2) 21 - Gigabyte - 27 December 1995 (Canada)

An energy-absorbing virus named Gigabyte attacks the city. Hack & Slash and a returning Mouse join forces against the virus.

Cultural references: When asked what its purpose is, Gigabyte replies, "I am become Gigabyte, destroyer of systems," alluding to Vishnu in the Bhagavad-Gita. When Gigabyte corners Bob and Dot in an alley he scrapes the wall with his claw, similar to Freddy Krueger. A binome who has his energy absorbed by Gigabyte is based on Indiana Jones. Bob's special body armor is based on Solid Snake's protective gear. The controller Mouse uses to contain the tear is extremely similar to a PlayStation controller.

(v2.7.3) 22 - Trust No-One - 25 January 1996 (Canada)

Mainframe citizens are mysteriously disappearing, including Dot and Al's waiter. Phong hires two CGI Special Agents, Fax Modem and Data Nully to investigate the disappearances, along with Bob and Mouse. They Discover the now enlarged invader Identified as a creature from the Web. The implications of the situation get a lot worse when the guardians become aware.

Cultural references: When the waiter from Al's is taking out the trash, he says "Garbage In, Garbage Out," a common saying in the field of computer science. The two agents parody agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully from The X-Files. Data Nully is voiced by Gillian Anderson, the same actress who played Dana Scully. CGI is an allusion to the American FBI and also to Computer-Generated Imagery, used to produce computer-generated but realistic imagery such as in ReBoot.
