SADDLE-TOWN
(a song of the First Generation)
Well, we're living here in Saddle-Town
Where they once burned all the factories down.
Out in Ponyville it's raiding time,
They're dealing in slaves,
And blurring the line.
Well our mothers fought the only world-war
Fought the Zebras bunkered on our shores,
Met our fathers and they had a go,
Then back to the lines,
Well, that's how it goes.
I haven't finished fixing up the first story I plan to upload here. Time and other obligations are a constraint. But last night, before bed, I whipped this up real quick. It's not a full song, but it's meant to be sung to the tune of the final verses of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire". It's about all the MLP animated productions (sans the G3.5 ones) and meant as a reminder that, while Friendship is Magic is our favorite, it's not all that the My Little Pony franchise is, nor all that it
You know, you'd think something as unadulteratedingly over the top, theatrical and romanticized as Andrew Lloyd Webber's ABSURDLY popular musical The Phantom of the Opera would make a rather enjoyable cinematic experience. I mean, I've seen the Royal Albert Hall 30th Anniversary performance at least twice, and it's a good, solid play, with awesome songs, and a really good visual aesthetic.
Way back in August 2014, when I first joined this site, I put every story that was in the Royal Canterlot Library at that time into my "Read Later" list. For a few days/weeks, I read all of them at a steady pace. Many of them I enjoyed, some I didn't, but they were all very interesting to read.
Then, at some point, when there were three stories left, I stopped.
So, where have I been. I mean honestly this has been the first time I've submitted anything since July of last year. The truth is I've really been absolutely nowhere. I've weaved my way through the many days avoiding angry crowds of one stripe or another. I've paid my bills mostly on time if not for the laziness of the local parcel services I'd be on time. I've worked at my job and one foot on one leg hurts regularly while the other knee pops loudly. Various people that I've called

This is your on-top-of-it-as always film and TV show reporter here with another review.
Today, I'll be giving you all an analysis on "Secondhand Lions".
Here's the rundown of this film:
With his irresponsible mother going away somewhere, 14 year old Walter is left on a farm in Texas where his eccentric great-uncles live out the rest of their days as elders.
Scott Cooper's slow burn character study of infamous Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger is a showcase for a truly transformative performance by Johnny Depp, and while slow moving, is still an effective and engrossing portrait of Bulger.
