When does this movie actually come out?

Two days ago, actually. I quite enjoyed it and may see it again next weekend. I like the style of songs they do for Equestria Girls. At some point I want to take a crack at making one.

[itroitnyah]

Wow, and I didn't even hear about it coming out. Apparently I've been doing such little pony related stuff as of recent that I no longer hear about these things through posts

[ph00tbag]

Movie's on Dailymotion in two parts for the time being. Apparently the TV version had some bits edited out for time constraints, so if you want the full glory(?), then you'll have to wait for the DVD. Not gonna link it because copyright, but it's there if you know how to use a search function.

I dug all of the Dazzlings' music. Too bad they were only good because of magical autotuners.

Somehow Flash Sentry is now even more extraneous than he was in the first movie. Don't know how they managed that.

OMG!!! HAVE YOU PPL SEEN RAINBOW ROCKS??? JUST WATCHED IT, AND LISTENED TO THE SOUNDTRACK!!! OMG SO AWESOME!!!

Spoiler Lotsa Spoilerz:

Trixie had one fucking awesome track :O Dat bass
I fucking LOVED the fight scene, and the music right before it. My fan was officially gasmed when it alternated 8/8 and 8/7 :O or maybe it was 15/4 time sig... Totally remixing that! As soon as I don't have huge tests to prepare for...

On a more sober note though. I'm not sure about Vinyls car... I could buy that she has a really loud stereo, and maybe that she has a DJ setup ready in the back seat, but a transforming car... That's stretching it a bit. There is only so much that can be done without magic, and if Vinyl isn't the daughter of a worldclass DJ, or perhaps has some magic, I don't see that car plausible :/

You knlow that math kid? The one with the Square root of a heart badge? What's up with that badge? I thought long and hard about that, and I'm starting to doubt there's a pun in it... The only thing I can think of is this: If you multiply him with another squareroot of a heart you get a heart... math nerd*math nerd = love

DERPY HAD A BAND!!! SHE PLAYED THE SAW AND SHE HAD A COWBELL AND A TRIANGLE IN THE BAND!!! I WANNA BE IN A BAND LIKE THAT!!! HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE, DERPY DON'T GIVE A FUCK, SHE CREATES ART!!!

I also played Buck:Legacy with a few friends. None of us had played it before, but we managed to get through the dungeons :) I assume we broke most of the rules without knowing it. Super fun game though. Totally worth the wait.

His normal approach is useless there.

I think, actually a better place for discussing Rainbow Rocks would be in the Equestria Girls 2 thread, or in another thread in the MLP discussion forum, so that spoiler tags aren't necessary.

[FLAOFEI]

Good point... Didn't think of even looking for a thread like that :I

Anyway, I thought more about the Squareroot of love. (This has nothing to do with EQG btw)
When two people multiply they make love. Therefor, if these two people are the same they must be the square root of love! (or both can be the negative square root of love, they are still the same as eachother)
I'm not gonna continue this analysis... cause now I'm thinking of identical twing... And that's way to mature for a place like this.

I'm trying to watch it but musical numbers make me really uncomfortable.

EDIt: Finished watching, didn't like it that much. Sonata was kind of entertaining though.

[Freewave]

The movie was just meh to me. I mean it wasn't bad but dang so many of the girls tracks were bland cartoon pop. the sirens tracks at least had an edge to them. But the whole band battle was just so tween oriented and they of course opened this up for a whole line of future sequels which i will be even less enthused to watch. Glad trixie got a load of air time.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

There was a lot of exposition too, like...really bad exposition. Every other scene calls back to either Sunset Shimmer turning into a demon or Sunset's previous life as a major bitch, and it's ok to call back to stuff for continuity's sake but if you have to do it as often as Rainbow Rocks does your movie probably needs work.

[FLAOFEI]

Maybe it's just me being deprived of new pony content, but I loved it all :3

I loved maybe halfway through when they have the sleepover at Pinkie. Twilight and Sunset have about people having crazy high expectations. I realy related to that scene, but it bothers me that they never realy resolved it. Twilight never realy had to admit she wasn't perfect, not to her friends, and not to her self. Sunset did save the day, both with geting the group to realise they shouldn't fight, and by singing, but I'd much rather see Twilight have to admit she didn't know what to do.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

I'll admit it, that was a good scene and I was pretty happy to see Sunset get some actual character time in this movie.

[ph00tbag]

I feel like Twilight's internal conflict of not being able to write the perfect song felt contrived, given that she's learned the lesson that she doesn't ever have to do any of this stuff alone plenty of times. It gets kind of tired every time she goes through that struggle. I did like the scene where she and Sunset connected, though, even if it was predicated on a questionable premise.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think the movie would have benefitted from being more about Sunset and less about Twilight trying to write a song. Feels like there was more meat to Sunset's situation than Twilight's.

[Acsii]

So I downloaded it last night :D gonna watch it when I get back from uni :3

[NightmareRare]

25 minutes worth of Daniel Ingram's songs... I'm in :D

[Pulse Wave]

Something that has me pondering...

Will bronies eventually jump upon the ¹⁵/₈ bandwagon? Maybe some "Under Our Spell"/"Tubular Bells" mashup? (Same time signature, ⁷/₈ + ⁴/₄.)

I think you mean "Welcome to the Show." "Under Our Spell" is just in 4. I wouldn't mind a mashup like that; I myself have fantasized about somehow mashing up the few bits of music I've heard in 13/8. "Welcome to the Show"/"Tubular Bells" might be a little awkward, since Tubular Bells in 7+8 while Welcome to the Show is in 8+7.

Also, what bandwagon?

[Pulse Wave]

Oops, mixed 'em up.

And the bandwagon... well... you never know whatever bandwagons pop up for. Then again, that time signature is too far out for this EDM-crazy community.

[ExoBassTix]

You think in limitations :P
There is never a too far out. Even for Electronic producers.

[FLAOFEI]

I'm doing a breakcore mashup/ remix/ track in 15/4. Or 4/4 * 3 + 3/4... Or 7/8 + 1/8 + 7/8... I'm building on the chorus voices in Let's have a battle and Welcome to the show.
It's in sort of the same style as this previous project of mine https://ped-x.bandcamp.com/track/404-fr ... dictions... It's weird doing that kind of breakcore not in 7/8...
Maybe I'll even finish it some time :I

I doubt it'll become a bandwagon though. Maybe a few ppl will start trying out odd timesigs because of it... That would be cool.

[Pulse Wave]

Something different:

Can it be that Sibsy worked on the storyboard again? Because Applejack's bass looks somewhat like a certain someone's mandolin.

[ph00tbag]

I thought it was modeled after the appearance of an acoustic guitar.

[Pulse Wave]

I thought it was modeled after the appearance of an acoustic guitar.

It's a funny instrument anyway. The body roughly resembles a Paula (these do come in sunburst), the headstock is taken from a Fender Jazz Bass.

I can see lots of Gibson bodies all over the movie. Both Trixie and Sunset Shimmer play Flying Vs, and I think I recall having seen an Explorer wannabe somewhere.

Rarity's AX-Synth and the RK-100S which had just hit the market when it appeared in that short aren't too far off, though.

Rainbow Rocks

Taste like Rainbow, but crunchier than skittles.
