/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

Hey all.

I was originally going to be at Mare Fair this week but I couldn't make it, so I will be handling movie night on my own tonight. Flappy left us a playlist, so we can probably go through that, plus I will have a movie and a few oddball things I can show. I'm assuming quite a few of us will be gone, so I'll hold off on the regular program (Big O, MLP, etc) until next week. Tonight will probably just be a fun assortment of oddball things for anyone who wants to drop in.

I'll probably open up the room roughly one hour from the time of this post.

Room is open, I just have Flappy's list running for now. Movie announcement will be up shortly.

Feel free to drop in.

Alrighty folks, movie tonight will be Starship Troopers, since it was suggested at the end of the previous thread.

The rest of the program will just be fun oddball stuff, I will see what I have.

An idea for considertion regarding movie night:
The Saga of Tanya the Evil

>>377416
We already watched it, as well as the movie

>>377423
How long ago? Not to be obtuse, but "we watched it already" didn't use to be taken discouragingly. If it's not wanted tho, that's different.

>>377424
This June, still pretty fresh. Good recommendation, though.

>>377425
Okay, I can accept that

Tho,... I also remember watching the mlp movie like 5x in a row,....

>>377424
It was in the very recent past. Also, it's October, and we've had multiple requests to focus on horror films for the month.

>>377427
The MLP movie is a rather special case. Though to be fair, we haven't actually watched it in quite a while.

Anywho, I'm working on the movie schedule now, should be up shortly.

Hello, everyone!

Since tonight falls during the Anniversary Stream on CyTube, I've got one of the earlier playlists in for the night, and am currently wobbling on whether to just watch the old Grimgar episodes or put something else in the time slot.

I don't want to put Drawn Together episodes on here in case people want to watch the stream.

Pony Theme of the week is "Witch Hats".

By the way, on the topic of anime, I think Cromartie High School could be a good one, especially for in-between longer, more serious series. It's 26 12-minute episodes, with no overarching plot, and one of the funniest animes I've watched.

Alrighty folks, here is tonight's program:

Merrie Melodies - Conrad the Sailor
Wodehouse Playhouse - The Luck of the Stiffhams

The Sixth Sense (1999)
Also known as the only good film by notorious street-shitter M. Night Shyamalan. Kicking off our traditional month of spoopy movies.

Poniere:
G4: S1e23 - The Cutie Mark Chronicles
G1: Through the Door Parts 1 and 2

Sizeable O:
Ep 7: The Call from the Past
Ep 8: Missing Cat

>>377433
I'll second this. I'll also second whoever suggested Dan Vs. in the previous thread, since I've actually never seen that.

>>377433

>>377433
Agreed, especially if it's the dub which is better than the sub. but not in a wacky westerner ironic way

>>377446
I liked the dub better too.

Welcome, to our second week of spook-month!

Unfortunately, with the recent hack and Internet Archive being down, we don't have a source of episodes for Drawn Together. For the time being, I've grabbed the new Pony Thread Simulator.

Pony Of The Week this week is Chrysalis, and I've put up

Here's the latest update on the Internet Archive news as far as I know:

>Latest update on the DDOS attack from @brewsterkahle (Oct 11 @ 10:22am PT):

>"The data is safe.

>Services are offline as we examine and strengthen them. Sorry, but needed. >@internetarchive staff is working hard.

>Estimated Timeline: days, not weeks.

>Thank you for the offers of pizza (we are set)."

https://mastodon.archive.org/@internetarchive/113290094683712789

So, that's good to know.

I'm also pretty glad that we have something like Mastodon going on. It feels like a standardized "social media" layer of the internet where anyone can run their own stuff on it. Like the old internet.

...Well, how about that? In _less than two weeks,_ Tamers12345 has moved on from his 27 minute animation and has made another animation that's an hour and five minutes long.

That takes care of the lack of Drawn Together episodes and then some.

So, to recap, this week we have a slightly shorter music section, with the new Pony Thread Simulator (~20m) and the new Tamers video: "My Little Pony The Movie: The Death Of Twilight Sparkle".

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello all, here is tonight's program:

Merrie Melodies: Crazy Cruise
Wodehouse Playhouse: The Smile That Wins

The Others (2001)
The second installment in our series of spoopy-month films. Also the second installment in our two-week miniseries event featuring films revolving around the theme of "you think it don't be like it is, but it do."

Poneraieamame:
G4: S1e24 - Owl's Well That Ends Well
G1: Rescue From Midnight Castle Parts 1 and 2

Fifteenth Letter of the Alphabet Which is Larger Than Usual:
Ep 9: Beck Comes Back
Ep 10: Winter Night Phantom

>>"The data is safe.
Fundos areu safu

This might be a good watch

Unfortunately it might be hard to find with the Archive down.

>>377644
I have that on a USB drive, I just need to know what file hosts are compatible with cytube. We're probably doing Halloween movies for the rest of October though.

With last week's release of Tamers12345's movie length animation, there are already no less than FOUR separate songs based on his character, “Flawless”. So, I popped them into the playlist.

The rest of the playlist has a trend towards Pinkamena and a few “grimdark” looking PMV animations by SinclairDuGore.

Other mixed media entries into the playlist include seven minutes of a voiced dub of Crookedtree's famous Ask Pinkamena AskBlog, a two minute match of something that looks like Fighting Is Magic between Nightmare Twilight and Pinkamens, and an “animation meme” of that “choose whether to admit potential monsters into an apartment building” game, but pony-themed.

Internet Archive seems to not be fully up yet, so we'll figure out that second part as we go forward.

In Watch Party news, I think I'd like to try a Monster Movie Marathon of some kind this weekend. How is Sunday looking as a prospect?

The Ponies Of The Week will be Flawless, though Pinkamena is also acceptable.

We're ready and running, so drop right in!

Hey all, here is tonight's schedule:

Betty Boop - Bimbo's Initiation
Garfielf - The Halloween Lasaga Murders

Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)
I remember this being a pretty entertaining Halloween movie, however I have only my memories from grade school to go on.

Frighteningly Undersized Horses:
G4: S1e25 - Party of One
G1: The Quest of the Princess Ponies parts 1 and 2

Spooky-O:
Ep 11 - Daemonseed
Ep 12 - Enemy is Another Big!

>>377704
are we doing Party of One in Japanese? They redid Smile so well

>>377705
Yep. Japanese smile is one of my favorites

>>377706
its a close second behind TDA for me

Our "episodes" portion of the night will be 4 episodes of Scootertrix Abridged.

Once again for Visibility's sake:

Scootertrix Abridged

Cant not post this, unprompted flawless posting

>>377709
Duly noted. This must be what it feels like to be cartoon characters breaking out into a synchronized song at random.

Note for latecomers: due to some issues with the new streaming service + cytube, we are switching from the usual cytube room to nicecrew.tv for the movie portion. Link is here:

https://nicecrew.tv/w/4x62NV2cooAeMH4hEUepQM
https://nicecrew.tv/w/4x62NV2cooAeMH4hEUepQM
https://nicecrew.tv/w/4x62NV2cooAeMH4hEUepQM

cytube is still open but you will only get audio, no video

>>377704
Advanced troll killing techniques, may need eye bleach later.

Afterparty is on in CyTube room.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

>>377714
I overestimated myself.
Afterparty is not being manned. Pre-stream playlist is on repeat.
Goodnight.

As we approach Nightmare Night (wow, time flies, doesn't it?), we approach another Watch Party with a series of media to enjoy.

Thare a wide variety of horror-ish content. Mostly songs and animatics with slightly creepy imagery. We've got another couple of Flawless fan songs to celebrate, by Evershade, Thrack, and BGM, so they're on there. We've got some slightly unsettling animations, a short or two of social awkwardness for a different kind of spook, a Speedpaint video by The L Clown, and a classic Spooky Surprise to top things off. It's the original CupCakes video by MisterDavie on YouTube. Hopefully it's not region locked or otherwise censored.

I'll try to figure out streaming from me to NiceCrew, but if I can't, then we'll continue with ScooterTrix.

You know the drill.

Pony Theme of the Week is “Monster”.

Evening, gents. Since this will be the last Friday before Halloween and I won't be here next week, tonight's program is chock full of spoopy goodness:

Swing You Sinners!
Halloween Mystery Special

Poltergeist (1982)
directed by Steven (((Spielberg))) WoOooOoOoOoOOoOoOh...

Frighteningly Undersized Horses:
G4: S1e26 - The Most Terrifying Night Ever
G1: The Princess Ponies vs. The Crypt Keeper

The Horrifying Gigantic O:
Ep 13 - RD
Ep 14 - Roger the Wanderer

Also, just a head's up we are using a new streaming service which does not play well with cytube, so we will be changing locations again once Flappy's portion concludes. Link will be posted here for latecomers.

movie time, here is the link

It's now November, but it's so darn close to Halloween that we still have some Pony Halloween content to watch!

In a continuing display of getting shit done, there are still some new Flawless songs being published.

A grab-bag of media from ElectroKaplosion and Cosmonaut Pony make up the largest single contributors to the list in terms of number of playlist entries. To this I've added a Halloween Comic dub by Scribbler Productions, an animatic from Cosmia's Stash from the Chinese side of the fandom, a spooky pony animation by Halo12 titled “That's Not My Little Pony (animated)” that ponifies one of the creepy games about being a border guard for an apartment of some kind, and there's also a video from Sweetie Bot 2560, which is impressive.

This Sweetie Bot video, “Sweetie is not giving up !” is about a project to build a robot pony. The voice is AI generated, and the behaviours are programmed, but the physical prop and movement are real engineering. New frontiers in robotics and Pony are being explored here!

For bumpers, I've inserted some shorts about ancient historical cooking videos. These cover meals like the Spartan Black Broth, Roman colloseum snacks, and a Parthinian Chicken recipie.

Comfy Night will ensue.

To prevent things from running too far over time, I'll start the playlist now, and get the Drawn Together items up in a second post.

The Pony Theme of the night shall be... Ponies with Food

We're locked, cocked, and ready to rock!

Without further ado, here are the Drawn Together Episodes!

Drawn Together Episodes

S2 Episode 12 - The Lemonaids Walk
Captain Hero uses steroids to win the AIDS walk; Spanky convinces Wooldoor to steal candy from the mall.

Musical number: "Judge Fudge Power Hour Theme Song"

Guest stars: Billy West as Mall Security Guard, Popeye and Stimpy, and Alex Borstein as AIDS Walk Coordinator and Lois Griffin

Note: This episode features a guest appearance from Lois and Peter Griffin (although their faces are unseen), two of the main characters in Fox's Family Guy.

S2 Episode 13 - A Very Special Drawn Together Episode
The housemates do a role-playing exercise to help Xandir tell his parents (played by Captain Hero and Toot) he is gay, which blows up into a story of seduction, betrayal and redemption.
Musical number: "You Belong to the City"

Time to pick the movie for the night!

Dracula 1931 (Colourized)

Transylvanian vampire Count Dracula bends naive real estate agent Renfield to his will so that he can move to London. He takes up residence at an estate where he sleeps in his coffin by day and searches for potential victims by night. After turning the young Lucy Weston into a vampire, Dracula turns his attention to her friend Mina. But Mina's father calls in a specialist, Dr. Van Helsing, to diagnose the sudden deterioration in Mina's health.

Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula
Helen Chandler as Mina Seward
David Manners as John Harker
Dwight Frye as Renfield
Edward Van Sloan as Van Helsing
Herbert Bunston as Doctor Seward
Frances Dade as Lucy Weston

This was apparently colourized with AI, which is less than perfect. We'll see how it runs.

>>377993
Oops. Probably should have put the movie poster in, too.

We'll have space for people to suggest videos after the movie and some Pony.

new tamers today, watch party?

HEADS UP
I'll have to take a step back today from putting the regular stream playlist together. IRL stuff is coming up, and I'm not currently available to put it together. There's a good chance that I'll be late tonight, too.

With luck, I'll be able to hand off the night to someone else, otherwise, our options are that I can pick a previous night's playlist, or we can have a potluck night.

>>378522
That sounds like a great idea, but I don't see a video that's up right now. There's a trailer and ongoing live premier of the video. I won't know how to build the rest of the night until I can see how long it is, otherwise most people might miss it.

>>378535
let other people que up videos, would make it cozy without putting stress on one person to come up with pony videos.

also it looks like a new tamers video just launched

>>378535
>>378537
just watched the premiere, it was decent, very gay, and very long (1h20)

>>378535
I'm still getting the playlist for my portion together, but my end of the stream should be good to go at least. I'll have the schedule up in about 15-20 min probably. We can probably throw something together in the cytube, maybe a tamers watch party as someone suggested, combined with whatever else people want to throw in the queue.

If we don't end up getting anything together for the pre-show, my stream will probably be running at the usual time, probably about 1.5-2 hours from now. I will post the link here when it's ready to go.
