/MLPOL/ Movie Night
We like movie nights on Fridays. These movie nights are usually prefaced with a Pre-Stream event before we watch a movie or two, which is then normally followed by several episodes of Ponies.
Registering an account on the streaming sites we go to is not required.
The Pre-Stream for the Movie Night usually starts at 7:00pm EST.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl is the normal room for the Pre-Stream.
The Movie Night proper usually starts at around 8:00pm or 8:30pm EST.
Location varies depending on various factors.

Previous improvised Movie Night thread:
>>349623 →665 replies and 978 files omitted.
This new thread was made almost entirely because the change of OP image to something that was not a theatre screen, or anything that implied watching a movie was bugging me. We hit the bump limit on the second movie night thread, so someone quickly made a new thread so that the Movie Night announcement could be at the top of the catalogue.
Also, I fucked up the link to the last full Movie Night thread. It should be
>>316007 →. I'm not sure how that mistake happened.
The Pre-Stream room will be opened at 7pm, and the pre-stream will begin once people start to arrive. That's 30 minutes from now.
To go with the MILF theme of last week, the Pony of the Week this week is Button's Mom, Cream Heart. MILFposting is encouraged.
>>350058I whole heartedly approve.
>>350059>Trying to contain excitement Currently continuing the movie night with Totally Legit Recap episodes while I try to fuck around with OBS and get something running on Pon3.Stream.
The Pre-Stream + Main Stream night seemed to go well. I never did get Pon3Stream working right I think the problem is on their end but we watched a bunch of the Totally Legit Recap playlist. We ended the night on the Season 8 finale about Cozy Glow. I don't know off the top of my head how much time is left on the playlist, but I doubt it'll be much more than an hour and a bit.
If I can get Streaming from my computer to a third party streaming site to work properly, then I can pull up movies, but I can't guarantee that. If people can figure out how I can point CyTube to my computer's files as a direct download link, or if they know of any way on the internet that I can make a direct link work, that'd be great. Otherwise, all I can hope for is that someone who has a better understanding of how to stream comes around again.
See you horsefuckers next week!
>>350079Goodnight Flappy. Thanks for the stream.
Alright, so I think I've got the technical side of Pon3.Stream running on my end. Last Friday, it just wouldn't work for some reason. I'm still not sure why. I assume it was a problem on Pon3.Stream's end, since all I did to test it today was click the "Go Live" button on my streaming program.
I was able to stream video from my computer to Pon3.Stream, and watch it simultaneously in a browser that was tuned to the stream channel.
With luck, we'll watch through our normal hour-and-a-bit of pre-stream content, and then a movie or two before it's time for a few episodes of Ponies Proper.
If the regular movie streamer is absent again this week, then just know that we'll be ending a bit early, since I usually can't stay up late enough for the full stream length.
Pony of the week is Cozy Glow.
Major animation for the Pre-Stream will be "The Folly Of Celestia" by FOB Equestria.
After approximately 1h 15m of the Pre-Stream, we will continue the rest of the Totally Legit Recap playlist. We'll start with the Season 8 finale, starring Cozy Glow.
If the Stream group wants, I'll then aim to stream stuff on Pon3.Stream and send the stream to the CyTube room, so we can keep shitposting with our expanded emotes.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylhttps://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylhttps://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylPre-Stream will start when people arrive.
Sorry, it completely slipped my mind but I am at EFNW this week and will be absent from movie night again. Next week we should be back to our regular schedule. Sorry about the late notice.
>>350468>EFNWWe still have meatspace conventions going on?! God-damn. Now that I have money and can afford to travel a bit, I've been itching to go to one.
See you next week. Post some of the Pony Merch you picked up after you're done.
Out of curiosity, is anyone joining the movie nights only on pon3.stream? We could probably easily plug it in to CyTube if we want to have access to more chat options.
>>350795If it works, don't fix it.
More work for the host, negligible advantage.
>>350795Sounds like a great idea.
Movie is still TBA, but just letting everyone know that I am back and will be resuming hosting duties for movie night, unless anyone strenuously objects. Unless I hear something different, I'm just going to assume that Flappy will be doing his pre-show and we will switch over to my stream for movies and whatnot whenever he wraps things up.
Also: I haven't really been paying attention to the programs during my absence, so I'm curious where we're at with the pony episodes. If you guys have continued to watch the series we can start wherever you left off; otherwise I'm just going to continue with the Japanese dub from my last stream I will have to check the previous threads because I forgot where we left off.
>>351025The Pre-Stream will continue this week as normal.
There was some difficulty with getting Pon3.Stream to work right a week or two ago. I'm reasonably confident the problem was on their end, since I used the same settings and got a test stream to work. Last week, we ended up watching a puppet/comedy show after the MLP stuff.
I don't have the later seasons of MLP in an offline copy, so we didn't watch episodes. (I just don't know which version of the season to download from yayponies, since I don't really understand the differences. Analysis paralysis is a bit of a problem for me.) We've watched through the whole "Totally Legit Recap" series in order over a couple of weeks, and that's run out.
ETA for the beginning of the Pre-Stream is a bit over half an hour. See you horsefuckers soon.
>>351025>I'm curious where we're at with the pony episodesI think the last episode we watched was the one with the stupid fucking breezies, during the first stream where you weren't here.
>>351034>Breezie episodeOh, right. I used a link to ponytube or something like that to play the episode.
>>351034Alright, I'll start up after the breezy episode then. I think that was only one batch ahead of where we were. That should put us at Eps 17-20 of S4 for tonight.
>>351031>I just don't know which version of the season to download from yayponies, since I don't really understand the differences. Analysis paralysis is a bit of a problem for meIf it helps, the ones I have are the iTunes Raw US version, which is just the episodes in 1080p without anything extra added. I don't know what the Scootaloo Remastered version is, the TV Rips I imagine are just ripped directly from TV broadcasts
probably nostalgic for people who originally watched it on The Hub. The Color Corrected by ZR version is (I think) just the episodes in HD with the saturation cranked up past eleven, which I guess is fine if you like your cartoons to give you insulin shock but personally I think it looks a bit weird. If you are okay with the versions of the episodes we were watching when we first watched through the series in English, go with the iTunes Raw.
Pony of the week for this week is Maud Pie.
The pre-stream will have about an hour and twenty minutes of content. The major content of this week's stream is a documentary on SoGreatAndPowerful. I've also placed a new SGaP-style PMV right after it.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylhttps://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylhttps://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylStream will start after arrivals show up.
Alrighty, here is the full program for the evening:
Merrie Melodies: Don't Know What You're Doin! (1931)
Our Gang: Moan and Groan Inc (19...30 I think)
Strangers on a Train (1951)
An Alfred Hitchcock classic. Not affiliated with Hitch's cock.
HOEERERSDSSS
In Glorious TohoScope™
Eps 17-20
>>351043Program will commence following Flappy's stream.
SGaP Documentary is on now.
>>351043"Strangers on a Train" is a fable about avoiding verbal contracts so you don't get taken advantage of or have misunderstandings. Whether it's giving money for a divorce or agreeing to do each others' murders, always have it in writing.
>>351070I never kill anyone without a written contract that has been signed and notarized.
>>351070Would get hors lawyer and contract pone for all contract needs.
While we're still a ways off, I wanted to take a quick opinion poll and see how you guys feel about something I've been contemplating. Once S4 wraps up, we are officially out of moon-rune pone episodes, since no further seasons appear to have been dubbed into Japanese. I'm probably going to see if I can find another foreign-language dub of the show we can watch, and if all else fails we can watch the remaining seasons in English, but when S4 concludes I was thinking of making a slight change to the program and I wanted to see how you guys felt about it.
Instead of watching 4 MLP episodes per evening, I was thinking of cutting it down to 2 pony episodes, and 2 episodes of something else, probably something else animated. At one point, someone proposed we watch the old Samurai Jack series, which I would be 100% on board with since I loved those and haven't seen them in years. Powerpuff Girls had occurred to me as an option as well, and I also have a large collection of anime and quite a few other things we could look at.
I wanted to get you guys' thoughts on the subject. Should we continue watching all-pony for now, or would you be amenable to doing a pony + some other cartoon?
>>351263>I was thinking of cutting it down to 2 pony episodes, and 2 episodes of something else, probably something else animated.It sounds good to me to introduce variety. I don't know about the samurai, but I'm willing to watch.
>>351263Sounds like a good idea to me.
Tonight's Schedule:
Merrie Melodies: Love a Parade
Our Gang: Shivering Shakespeare
Sphere (1998)The prequel to Cube.
マイリトルポニー~トモダチは魔法 ~ KAWAII PONY DESU ~ S4 eps 21-24
Presumably we will start around the usual time, following Flappy's preshow. Hope to see everypone there.
>>351638>SphereNoice. I'll do my best to be early.
Putting the playlist together now. Show will start in about half an hour.
I'm going to be dipping out after the pre-stream to meet up with some of the guys from work, so I'll at least miss a few hours of the rest of the stream.
Since I'll be dipping out, I'm thinking of trying to give mod privileges for the CyTube room to either Occult or Elway.
Pony of the week is CommieHoers.
>>351263I'm happy to watch non-pony content along with Pony content. Maybe even watching some Equestria Girls stuff, too. I always thought the reason we were watching random movies that were usually old and not the current popular thing was to avoid the deeper internet Intellectual Property bots.
Samurai Jack is a good pick. I still haven't gotten around to watching the new season yet. I'd also like to suggest the 1997 Berserk series, because it's largely about the bonds of friendship, and hope. I also have a modest collection of fan content for Berserk similar to my MLP stash. One of those things was a telling of Berserk's story using all available video media that could be found, from the 1997 animation, to the 2012 movies, to the 2016 adaptation (when necessary), to the videogames, and I don't know if he added fan animations to it.
The one thing that I would like to push for here is that no matter what we keep Pony as our primary anchor here. I worry a bit that without that core theme, this will just be a generic movie stream that'll lose it's identity. Getting more pony content in general (and fan-made pony stuff in particular) was part of what motivated me to start the pre-stream. Another thing was that I often have a hard time sticking around and staying awake to the end of the streams when they go really late.
>>351643>Since I'll be dipping out, I'm thinking of trying to give mod privileges for the CyTube room to either Occult or Elway.Occult is probably the better choice for that since I don't really know anything about how cytube works.
>>351644>I always thought the reason we were watching random movies that were usually old and not the current popular thing was to avoid the deeper internet Intellectual Property bots.That actually hadn't even occurred to me, but we might actually be benefitting from that. I usually just show the kinds of movies I like, which tend to be old classics and pre-2015 stuff. There's been very few recent movies I've had any interest in seeing, I think the last thing I paid to see in theaters was Joker.
>The one thing that I would like to push for here is that no matter what we keep Pony as our primary anchor here. I worry a bit that without that core theme, this will just be a generic movie stream that'll lose it's identity.I'm in favor of this. I think the pony content is a good anchor, I'm mostly just trying to add a little variety so we don't start to burn out watching the same FiM episodes over and over. EqG had occurred to me too, I think there was a whole series made that I've never watched. There is also apparently a second batch of G1 episodes that we didn't see because I didn't know they existed, as well as a G3 cartoon we could check out. The new G5 series might be worth doing as well. I also have a bunch of anime and random cartoons we can add to the list for the non-pony part.
Winning ideas in the stream chat so far: Twilight getting drunk and changing everyone to look like G1, and the shenanigans to undo it.
>She can't undo it because she isn't drunk like before, so they're stuck like that. (Ending 1)
>She undoes it, but turns everyone to earth ponies. (Ending 2)
>She gets drunk again to try to get in the right frame of mind to undo it.
>The same, but paired with Starlight Glimmer
>Then Starlight says "Let's go back in time!"
>And goes back too far to the time of the laser raptors
>And they fuck up the timeline and have to fix it.
>But they are once again too drunk to remember what they did.
Next time, they try this, but with a dedicated Tard Wrangler who tries to keep them on task
[19:55:14] I imagine either Celestia as the Tard Wrangler or someone like Fluttershy
Celestia is used to dealing with a Twilight that's young and not super-smart yet, and Fluttershy has the vibe that she'd try to gently keep people on track and otherwise be unobtrusive, which is important for channeling creativity
[19:56:31] Celestia might have the issue of triggering Twilight's hero worship
Fluttershy trying to babysit her drunk friends would be pretty funny. like that episode where she had to babysit the CMC, but it's a bunch of foul-mouthed drunk adults instead
[19:58:42] soapone: johnelwaynigger: it wouldn't bother her, because of how often she is around animals talking about fucking
A relatively unedited idea worth preserving, I think.
