MLAABQ Gaiden: Sharing Culture
Ten ponies, and one dragon, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Spike, and the provider for the night’s entertainment, clustered together on cushions, all facing the computer display in front of them
“So how many movie do you have anyway?” Rainbow asked Gabe.
“I’dunno,” Gabe said. “A few dozen on this one.”
“Would you let one of us take a pick?” Rarity asked.
“Sure, but some of them are recommended for the ages fifteen and up,” Gabe said.
“Not one of us is younger than twenty, Gabe,” Applejack pointed out.
“By human standards, I mean,” Gabe said.
“Oh, yeah, I forgot,” Applejack said. “Well, who gets to pick the movie then?”
“Ooh! Ooh! Me!” Rainbow Dash said, waving a hoof.
“Darling, perhaps we should look at the list of films and all try and agree on something, shall we?” Rarity asked Rainbow.
“Alright, fine,” Rainbow conceded.
“Well, here it is,” Gabe said, manipulating the mouse with her unicorn magic. “I’m gonna scroll through it, speak up if you see something interesting.”
“Oh!” Fluttershy immediately said, perking up. “A movie about an animal?”
“Where?” Gabe asked.
“There,” Fluttershy said, pointing at the screen. “The Crow.”
“Uuh,” Gabe starte, uncertainly. “Yeah, there’s a crow in it, but that’s not really the focus of the movie.”
“What about that one?” Rainbow asked. “Saving Private Ryan?”
“That sounds promising,” Applejack agreed, putting her forehoof around her little sister. “Saving somepony and setting a good example for the young ones here.”
Apple Bloom looked up in mild annoyance at her sister.
“Uh, let’s keep looking before we decide on something,” Gabe suggested, and scrolled on.
“Oho? What’s that?” Rarity asked. “A film about dancing and high society perhaps? Sounds perfect if you ask me.”
“Which one?” Gabe asked.
“Tango and Cash it says,” Rarity said.
Gabe let out a nervous sigh, and silently kept scrolling.
“That one’s called Alien!” Pinkie said happily. “That’s kinda what you are, Gabe.”
“What’s The Thing about?” Twilight asked, confused.
“What about The Mist?” Rarity asked. “That’s a delightfully mysterious title.”
“No thanks,” Rainbow said. “I see enough mist at the job, it’s not really exciting.”
“Oh! Applejack said, spotting something on the screen. “Another film for the young ones, about hard work. The Professional.”
“Oh! Oh!” Pinkie Pie said, pointing at the screen again. “That one has to be good. It’s called Super!”
“Is that movie about animals then?” Fluttershy ventured. “The Lion King?”
“Yes it is! Sold!” Gabe exclaimed, and immediately booted up the movie.
Everyone around Gabe looked puzzledly at her stiffly nervous face, before shrugging and turning their attention to the movie starting up.

Well, I can see those names being confusing. The ponies are bound to find the Lion King cute, though

I wonder who's gonna cry the most when James Earl Jones dies though, The crusaders or Pinkie
"It? Oh! I love playing tag!"
8570316
Haha! Oh man, I did not think of that one
Twilight: "Oh, Lake Placid sounds nice.
"

Fluttershy: "Oh! And look! It's right next to Jurassic Park!
Gabe: "uh--NO!

I wonder what Spike would find most offensive; If Twilight wanted to watch How To Train Your Dragon, or how dragons are in it
8572045
Ah yeah. That would make sense. Although it would also make sense to have the song being sung in Zulu, to make it sound exotic to the largest number of people.
8572070
I was wondering that, too. But based on Gabe's evident taste in movies, I would expect her to have Reign of Fire, D-Wars, or Godzilla
8572081
I can't really think of a lot of dragon movies. Spike might like Dragonheart though, but who doesn't like their species being portrayed by Sean Connery?
8572083 Surprisingly, there aren't that many scifi/horror films depicting dragons--at least not many that were well made.
Oh, and Outlander could be another in Gabe's list!
Indeed. The Merlin series would be another that Spike might like, too. John Hurt did the voice of the Dragon.
8572098
I haven't seen all that many fantasy movies with dragons either, but that might be because I haven't seen all that many fantasy movies period. They so rarely live up to the played experience, either with pen and paper or a PC.
Oh, cool. John Hurt as a dragon. That sounds rad. Although he was a bit of a reptile in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
8572109
It has been years since I've seen that film! Good catch! I'll have to watch it again sometime.
The mark of a good actor is if they can make you hate the villains they play and love the heroes they do. Hurt was a GREAT actor.
8572145
Old people makes the best actors. That's one of the things that would be cool if in MLAABQ, Equestria and Earth makes contact, and humans get magic and three hundred year lifespans
I vote Tango and Cash. That was an awesome pairing.
8574686
I actually haven't seen that whole movie. I only saw parts of it, ages ago. I should watch it though, I like me some Kurt Russell
That was hilarious!!!!
8578243
It's a classic joke
8578423
Weeeellllll, the classics typically are, amiright?
8578971
True enough

:p

How about Pete's Dragon.
There should be an outtake of this that depicts what happens after they watched Alien. Just saying.
8851388
What did you have in mind?
8853912
They'd never make it to the end of Alien. The dinner scene would have everyone but Gabe in a shivering mass under Twi's bed, refusing to come out. Also, 'Dr. Strangelove? A medical drama might be interesting.'

Very likely. By contrast I think if they watch a gore porn movie like the Saw sequels, I think Twilight would just comment on how unrealistic the gore is and it would lose all impact.

Too bad it is mostly about how hard workers can get screwed out of their money by their manager. . . And some other stuff too, I guess.
Ah so many horror or gory movies with innocent-ish names. I’d hate to be the pony that watched some of those.
I wonder what Twilight would say to The Shining.
