The Movie (no spoilers) · 9:58pm Oct 7th, 2017
Just thought I'd make a blog letting everyone know I'm still alive and stuff. Life on the road has kinda taken its toll though. 'Tis a lonely existence even if I'm around beautiful scenery all the time. I get to go home in a couple weeks so that's cool though. Due to bizarre circumstances I've been just living in my car and in a tent driving around and camping across the American and Canadian west since July. 16 different states and 3 Canadian provinces I've just been wandering around in randomly.
Anyway I stopped at a random movie theater today in Pocatello, Idaho. I felt obliged to go see it after being a veteran of this fandom for so long (since 2011). Walking into a theater filled with parents and little girls is always an interesting novelty (and a few bronies too ). I thought it was pretty good, kinda like an extra long musical-themed episode. It's a children's film based off a long time tv series so I think to appreciate this film you really need to have good grasp of the mane 6 (which I assume most people here do XD) and keep that in mind whilst watching it. I can see why someone unfamiliar with the franchise might think it's mediocre because they don't understand the characters but if you're already a fan I'd say it's B+/A- material. It's worth seeing in my opinion, and even if you disagree at least you supported Hasbro and encourage them more to keep putting out new material. Just my two cents.
I really loved the movie too! I thought it was great. :)
Glad to see you're still alive. I saw it as well! I was honestly a little surprised to see a thin crowd in the theater, and exclusively parents with kids. Because when I went to see EqG in the theater, it was a full house, and about 80% bronies.
Definitely a good watch though.
Ayyyy, nice to see you're still alive and enjoying things!
