New live-action adaptation of The Last Unicorn in the works

[Leo656]

I sincerely apologize for being a heterosexual adult male and not a 6-year-old girl.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Forgiven. But you forgot fantasy/mythology nerd. I've been both, y'see.

[pennydreadful]

I always called them pegacorns.

[Leo656]

That sounds somehow dirty.

[pennydreadful]

Coming from me, is it really a surprise?

What do you think of my ideal cast and producers and director? and oh yes besides Fox/MGM i think also Carolco should distribute the film since they are making a comeback this year.

Hey Leo, it's ok for a guy to like unicorns now as it's cool as we are both bronies. And you remember the original animated movie? it's a movie every brony and pegasister should watch.

[Leo656]

Is there sort of an "in-between" term for people who like and watch MLP but aren't like, nuts over it to the point they embarrass themselves? Because I like the show, but I'd stop far short of applying the "B Word". Could be I just don't like labels, I'unno.

Yeah, I'm drawing a line in the sand here - can the bronies keep their hooves off TLU? I can't cope with the amount of Rule 34 of TLU that there is in MLP:FiM. I'm sorry - I just can't. I know that there's gotta be some already out there, and I'm the most Rule 34-friendly dude on earth but... god, just no. Do not want. I don't want there to be a Princess Molestia version of Amalthea.

On the other hand, maybe if there is a buttload of TLU Rule 34, this is merely my karmic come-uppance for all the Rule 34 in other fandoms that I have enjoyed, and I am now exposed as an enormous hypocrite. In which case, I must now accept that my entire life up til now has been a lie and I will have to struggle to make peace with myself.

[Leo656]

So penny has a limit. Wow, I guess ya really do learn something new every day.

I literally don't care what "Bronies" do, it's just that I don't think every single guy who likes the show needs to be painted with the same brush. There's a certain matter of degree, y'know?

[pennydreadful]

I know - I'm as shocked as you are. My entire sense of identity is crumbling in ruins around me.

[Leo656]

So much for that 30-chapter NC-17 TLU/MLP fic I was going to whip up special for your Birthday, then...

Sucks for you, could'a been epic. Nyah nyah.

Well Lady Amalthea is hot i should say and i adored her since i was a kid as she was the first animated chick i had a crush on along with Teela on He-Man, Adora on She-Ra, Scarlett in GI Joe, Cleo on Heathcliff, Cheetara, Maid Marion etc. and she is definitely in the same league as Taarna from Heavy Metal, Black Cat of Spider-Man fame, Kida from Atlantis, Judy Jetson, Urd from Ah My Goddess, Aishia Clan Clan etc. in terms of sexy chicks with white hair.

Really Leo? you got a TLU/MLP crossover fic?

[Netkeeper]

Reading that post gave me a serious case of second-hand embarrassment from beginning to end.

[pennydreadful]

Yeah... it's not that I have a beef with bronies existing, or what they do in their free time. I'm a huge fan of Rule 34 in a lot of fandoms. What I have a problem with is the super-aggressive contingent of the MLP fandom who act like total jerks and try to drive other people out of the fandom for not clopping/make other people feel unwelcome in the fandom - like, that's not fair, or cool. Fandoms should be inclusive of everyone, whether they Rule 34 or not - and everyone should treat each other with a basic level of respect.

To be fair, the bad bronies probably only make up a small (but very vocal) percentage of the overall MLP fandom but as I said, it's like some weird aggressive group of heterosexual males who actively go out of their way to call people f*gs if they don't fap to ponies, who doxx and malware attack others, who harass and send death and rape threats to people who don't Rule 34 MLP (including underage members in the fandom)... it's just offputting and makes me not want to get involved with the online fandom at all.

The end result is that the small group of awful people have basically turned online MLP fanspaces into an echo chamber for people who do stuff like the Pony Jar Project.

I was kinda' up in the air on it, actually. I don't know if I'd call that an "ideal" cast, crew, but decent, I guess.

And thanks to you, I've had TLU on the brain for three days now. Seriously. Had to listen to the soundtrack yesterday and watch the movie today just to get my "fix". CURSE YOU!!!

As a kid I loved the movie whenever I would see it on TV but when I re-watched it when it came out on DVD I was pretty disappointed. I think a live action movie could go either way, be fantastic or just be another fantasy film with nothing special about it.

No, that was pretty obviously a joke.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

With you, Leo, one can never tell..... *cough, TMNT fic, cough*

[Leo656]

C'mon, that was only one-and-a-half times and it was a long time ago!

The fact that my joke *could* be taken seriously, though, means that someone possibly has done a TLU/MLP fic somewhere, which I had not seriously considered. Hah. Wacky.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Heh, you're funny. Then again, I did an MLP story when I was a kid, so, I guess that's not too far off to assume. But mine wasn't a TLU crossover, nor did it have any Rule 34. Then again, this was before they even HAD boy ponies!
