@CDRW: That's actually not all that bad. Though a thousand square feet isn't exactly huge. Not tiny, but certainly not big.

Actually, it's like, twice the size for half the price of a Condo my roommate bought. Though said condo was on the border of Old Montreal and Griffintown, the two most expensive neighborhoods in Montreal, so maybe not the best example.

I wouldn't mind living there.

The Rainbow Rocks clip was interesting, if only for the implication that Vinyl is literally a walking rave. Also blah blah pandering. I honestly didn't mind the music much. Not my thing, but not objectively terrible by any means. I actually liked the general concept of the thing, even if there wasn't a great deal of actual content.

Still holding out for at least one prog rock shout out, though.

Honestly the Vinyl Scene feels so much like a fan video. Good music, impressively animated, fun but not much of a narrative to it. I'm concerned that it will be BLAM in the film and screw with the pacing.

Or maybe it's part of the introduction sequence. Could work as a bit at the beginning.

From the Video I can infer:

  • Dubstep is canon as Vinyl's Genre of choice
  • Silver Spoon has only one braid, and Diamond Tiara has one um, ponytail? (The possibility of Ambidrxtorus Sprite made it a little ambiguous for me)
  • And Twilight ether is not gonna be in this movie or will appear insome way of form (Native!Twilight would be the likely outcome with another possibility being that Equestria!Twilight with Year Inside, Hour Outside as a Hand Wave)

@Rhyme: It might very well have been made as a promo. Or an intro. You could easily paste some credits over it.

[up]Either that or this one will be focused around the original human!Twilight getting to know the cast.

Yeah, that's the impression I got. It feels too disconnected and self-contained for me to imagine it as a part of the movie itself. Especially since it focuses on a background character, albeit a popular, who doesn't speak even when given the opportunity to. It'd definitely feel weird as a part of the movie unless it was really early on.

I don't super care for the music, personally, but eh. it's pretty unlikely the whole soundtrack is gonna be Dubstep, so not a huge deal.

Shimmy will either be a minor rival band, a neutral party with her own band, or a relucttant participant. Either way, I feel she'll be minor to the plot but still there.

Apparently today's edition of IPT has memetic potential? I dunno why, but someone used the "exploitable meme" tag on it.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

So my school has a Build-A-Bear booth set up for their mini carnival. Sadly, all it had was bears. Silly me for expecting ponies at Build A Bear.

Huh, so not from the movie, but kind of EU to it? Either way, I liked it. Don't care for the music choice, but that's just not caring for the music type. Loved it still.

Though why the hell would Not!Celestia take her headphones, rather then her ipod itself?

Nevermind, the video is back up. Anyway, now that I can see it, it makes a lot more sense as an unrelated short than part of the movie.

Then she shouldn't take anything period. taking the headphones, makes no damn sense.

What's really weird is that parts of the Viynl short are also in the 15 second Ad spot. What's up with that?

@Seraphem: My guess is that the main reason she took them is because they were a distraction to other students. The ipod itself doesn't do jack if she can't be blaring the music everywhere. Either that or Vinyl was a repeat offender and Celestia gave her an ultimatum.

[up]What's so weird about that? All that means is that they just use material from the promo clips in addition to the movie itself when they're putting the ads together. You make the movie, you make a series of shorts to promote it, and you make ads using material from the movie and the shorts.

Yeah I guess. It's not unheard of, especially with early ads. I remember one early Avangers trailer that consisted entirely of footage from Iron Man 2 and the other individual movies.

Way back in high school, I saw it happen occasionally. It isn't that odd for only headphones to be taken away.

Well, except that at that point it went out, and it wasn't really that loud.

My issue is, if she's not supposed to be listening to it, and you are taking something to prevent it... it's just freaking stupid to just take the earphones and not the actual player.

It's like wanting to keep someone from shooting a water gun at other students, so your drain the water out of it, but let them keep the gun.

Though, expecting anything related to a school to not be ridiculously stupid in the first place is kind of asking for issue anyway....

[up]Except that you can refill a water gun. Also, I know you have a very low opinion of schools, but you do realize that they aren't all the same and some are more competent than others, right?
