The My Little Pony Movie

@Jarkes  
You mean the k-pop ladies ?

well that trailer was dissapointing

@Background Pony #1D65  
It was just a teaser. Did you SERIOUSLY expect anything else?

I Tara strong Q&A yesterday she was ask about movie she said”that she was alone voicing while the others were in Vancouver”.She said it felt like she did seven episodes and said the movie going to be epic.

So SAW Legacy is going to also be around the same time as the MLP movie.
 
Would be funny if the MLP movie beat it at the box office

@ice1517  
I would honestly like to see that. It would be hilarious.

@SeraphimDawn  
Who honestly cares about SAW nowadays?
 
I mean, majority of them tanked pretty hard. A lot of critics and the casual audience are not fans on them. Plus the last movie was supposed to be the real ending.

@ice1517  

I have a few friends who were always quite fond of them and eager to sell me on their merits. However, that particular genre of horror movie has never been my cup of tea at all. Call me old fashioned, but I miss the days when horror was more about unsettling noises and unseen things in the dark then some crazy person using the grotesque body mutilation version of Mouse Trap as some kind of test of a person’s desire to live.

Well I know I’m going to be donating my money to that cause. I didn’t support this show for going on 7 years now not to jump at a chance to see it on the big screen. I’m just hoping I can talk an out of town friend who also likes ponies into making the trek back to see it with me.
 
Although, funny enough, my friend who likes ponies is also one of the ones who likes SAW. So make of that what you will.

I’m just hoping the movie airs near me. I don’t mind driving to the next town over, but going out of state is a bit too much.

There is only one theater near me. They’ll probably have the movie. If not it will be a long drive.

@ice1517  
It could be possible. I mean the Saw franchise isn’t super popular these days.

@Takashi.0  
Although the Blade Runner reboot might beat both of them.

@ice1517  
its sequel actually

@Background Pony #2715  
Wait it is?
 
Why did it take so damn long to make it?

@ice1517
 
@Background Pony #2715  
>Reboot  
>Sequel to a reboot
 
Well if nothing else the movie’s bound to get better critical reception.

@ice1517  

To be fair, it’s only been 35 years since the original. There are other movies with a much longer gap than that. Heck, Disney is currently working on a Mary Poppins sequel, of all things, that they plan to release in 2018, some 54 years after the original came out.

@ice1517  
It’s not like a Blade Runner sequel was planned from the beginning. Hollywood struggles to think of anything that isn’t a reboot or a sequel so they’re digging up all these older movies to mine ideas from. It very rarely works out well.

@ice1517  

 
I also think It will do well at the Box Office this coming autumn.

@kleptomage  

Actually, I think the real issue is more how advances in technology have affected them. You have to bear in mind, Hollywood has done sequels for ages. Dirty Harry, Rambo, Rocky, a good deal of older horror franchises… all with their fair share of sequels. It didn’t get overwhelming though until we moved into a situation where easy file sharing became a possibility, and electronic devices suddenly began to allow instant feedback on movies and films. You suddenly have a situation where they start losing on ticket sales in theaters (one of the big ways they earn money on the films they produce) at the same time bad movies (which use to take a while for people to learn how bad they were and subsequently were good for earning a little extra money) can no longer be counted on for a quick, easy buck. So they’re forced into a situation where they’re scared to fund anything the viewing public doesn’t already like, leading to fewer original pieces and more shared universes, multitudes of franchise films, and so on.
 
Of course the smart thing to do would be for them to adapt to the technology, since piracy obviously isn’t going away (and I’m certainly not going to fight people who don’t want to pay $20 and up for 2 hours in a dark, crowded room with people coughing and making noise) and find alternative ways to make interesting new films, but change is one of those things takes time and consideration, not things that have ever really been studio executive’s strong suits.

@Background Pony #28C8  
That’s the long and true explanation.
 
I recognize the irony in complaining about remakes when Friendship is Magic is itself a remake but, well, it wasn’t hard to improve on the previous generations of MLP. I have no reason to believe the Blade Runner sequel won’t be trash like the recent sequels/remakes of Conan, Star Trek, and Alien were. I’d include the remakes of Total Recall, The Thing, and Ghostbusters in that statement but I refuse to see them.
 
One of the rare sequels that got it right was Mad Max: Fury Road. If you don’t like Fury Road you don’t have a pulse.

@ice1517  
I care T_T

I hope to god this is true
 

@LeoNero  
If this happens, I’ll have a new-found respect for them.

@LeoNero  
I really doubt they’d get the same orchestra that did Star Wars

@LeoNero  
It seems very likely since it was confirmed that the movie would use orchestrated music.
