Ponies! And the shiny Pokemon curse strikes again!

I just watched the season 3 My Little Pony premier. Editing this in so I don't spam you guys with half a dozen posts.

I really enjoyed the new pony episodes, too! Yes, the jousting armor was great! I liked the whole idea of the Crystal Empire, too. And IDK who was ruling it? I'm going to rewatch and hopefully catch some more of the details tomorrow. ^^; Sombra's design was cool, though he didn't end up being as difficult to defeat as expected. XD

Ahhh, if you want to trade your shiny Gible, I'll give you my shiny Dratini? I haven't reset for it yet, so I could get it for you with a good nature. I want to train Gible so a beneficial nature would have been be best, but I don't really care that much. I mostly care about being able to nickname things, hahaha. If you don't want to, that's fine, I'll find one eventually!

Movie recs:

- Slumdog Millionaire
- Pan's Labyrinth (I feel like I remember you saying you've seen it, but IDK). Really creepy and intense at times, but so good.
- Let the Right One In is one of my favorite movies, but it is sort of a horror movie? It's more of a drama movie than anything else, but I don't know. It's so worth watching, I think you'd love it even though it's creepy.
- Fluke is a little cheesy in a way, but I still find it really moving... I grew up with this movie and people I show it to generally really like it.
- The Plague Dogs is one of the most depressing animated movies ever (seriously), but if you're in the mood for that... It's really gorgeously animated and I love it.
- Big Fish
- Everything by Satoshi Kon if you haven't seen his movies. Except you might want to skip Perfect Blue, it's really freaking disturbing. Millennium Actress is really moving and beautiful, Tokyo Godfathers is funny and awesome and the best Christmas movie ever, and Paprika is trippy and great. Paranoia Agent is awesome, too.
- Into the Wild
- Where the Wild Things Are. I find it disturbing because I think I empathize with it too much or something, but it's great nonetheless.

phoenixxfoxx pointed out that Cadence apparently rules it. At least, if the text on the back of one of the Hasbro toy packages is to be believed. As for Sombra, I feel like that episode would have benefited from 10 more minutes, or maybe even 5 more minutes. Then the fight with Sombra wouldn't have to be cut so short.

Actually, I also own a copy of White 2, so I'll be getting my own shiny Dratini. (I just haven't gotten around to it yet.) Sorry. D:

I've seen Slumdog Millionaire, Pan's Labyrinth (which went completely over my head), Millenium Actress, a few episodes of Paranoia Agent, and Tokyo Godfathers (a long, long time ago; thanks for reminding me to rewatch it).

I'm surprised to hear that Where the Wild Things Are is good. I owned the book as a kid, but I didn't bother to see the movie because I thought "how can they turn this into a 90 minute film?"

Thanks for the recs!

Hmm, that's interesting! They did mention it once, but after that it seemed like it was never mentioned again. I agree, I think the episode would have been better if given a few more minutes, but oh well!

That's okay! I'm sure there will be someone who wants to swap. I already have an EV-trained, legit shiny Dragonite, but I haven't trained a Garchomp yet so I might as well make it a shiny!

I'm glad you've seen a lot of them! Watch what you haven't, though. :D Tokyo Godfathers is a perfect movie to watch for Christmas.

I love Where the Wild Things Are to the extent that I bought it, though it makes me so uncomfortable I almost don't want to watch it again. As weird as it sounds, that's in a good way, though, because it got to me so much emotionally. I think you'd really understand it, too--it's about the difficulty with interacting with people, basically, and for some reason it hit a raw nerve with me and I love it for that.

You're welcome! Let me know what you think if you watch anything!
