Mitchell 45 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 Yup same, I'll be watching it tonight or tomorrow on iTunes. I don't wanna wait any longer . Besides, money isn't really an issue for me right now. Lucky me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Flare 553 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 (edited) Anyone knows any other way to watch the film besides Itunes? Edited July 16, 2014 by Metagross Alicorn Sunset Shimmer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,890 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 (edited) 15 minutes in and already I may be changing my mind a little. The highlight reel of fan created art and videos after the Ashleigh Ball intro was a nice touch, as was Dusty's speech. The style is more in line with a cultural doc than the JDL film, and outside of the obligatory filler shots of highway and car license plates, so far I'm impressed with the production and editing. The actual content is not revolutionary thus far. We've all heard the merits of the show over and over and that will come across as "Me Preach ... You Choir" to the typical Brony ... so my confirmation bias alarm went off ... but other than that ... so far it's enjoyable. First impressions and all. I'll probably finish it tonight.

Zygen 6,066 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 I refuse to make any real type of judgement on the thing before I actually see the real thing. A trailer is just to little to go off frankly, it could be better or worse than the trailer, who really knows. Regardless it's nice that Ashleigh ball is atleast trying to make an attempt apparently at helping people see bronies in a different light, will it work? Who knows, but It's nice that she is trying atleast. I'll probably try to find a way to see it, that doesn't involve going to the theater, because I'm a closet brony, and I could never watch this in theaters without someone finding out, but regardless. If it's good then I'll be happy, if it isn't, then honestly I don't think I'll care to much. I'm pretty easy to please though, so yeah. I feel like if it's bad then not much will change on the view of bronies, if it's good maybe the view will change, maybe it won't, it's hard to say. Anyways, I'm not really sure i'll see it or anything, but regardless I don't feel right judging it before seeing it. So I guess i'll just see. I just feel like if it's bad it isn't really a big deal, but that's just my personal opinion. Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

Jeric 46,890 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 First time I head that Brony isn't actually Bro + Pony but /b/ + Pony. Huh? Then again it was the Final Draft segment and apparently there are a lot of fans who don't rate him highly, so take that as you will. There are a few things that make me groan ... like the Psychologists comparing the 60's counter culture movement with the fandom and once again suggesting that Bronydom may be a result of 9/11, the war on terror, and general cynicism in society. That said I was surprised at how well it was put together. Anyway, I promised a full review and I'll have one up, but I will need to approach this as both a Brony, and as someone who consumes a ridiculous amount of documentaries.

WilsonWilson 11 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 I will definitely pick it up off iTunes at some point. At first I thought it looked okay but it definitely looks 20% cooler after this video:http://uk.ign.com/videos/2014/07/15/a-brony-tale-20-cooler I am sorry I couldn't help myself.

Jeric 46,890 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 So it was shit and forgettable? I would say it is better produced than JDL's, so as a documentary it is not shit, no. However, watching this through the filter of a Brony does minimalize impact. Outside of the head scratching moment when Final Draft tried to reinvent the origins of the word Brony (apparently) it offers nothing groundbreaking. I didn't expect it to. It's going to piss off the female Bronies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Flare 553 July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 (edited) So it was shit and forgettable? No actually it's a very good documentary. It's just that, recently I've been watching Solrac's vids (especially the PFFUDOR) which is still in my head, so seeing him makes me kind of forget everything temporarily. At least we got DustyKatt, Silva Hound, Sethisto (I think), Jaxblade, and the psychology professors that researched us interviewed. Also the So-Cal Bronies as well.

GXPBlast 597 July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 Apparently there is already a pirated version of the video. I will not give any links as I dont support piracy. Bronies are already letting others know there is a pirated version on the official Facebook page Also being a small company that Hodgee films is, I rather support the Hodgee and Ashleigh Ball. Plus it think its the moral thing to do. That said I wont be purchasing it until it is released on Netflix. The Facebook page says its on many different platforms except Netflix but should arrive sometime soon. Since I already have Netflix, I will wait until it is released to watch it. On a side note, being a closet brony I will have to delete my profile on the family account and start a new one after I watch a brony tale since the Netflix is shared amongst my parents and they can see the viewing history as the personal profiles that Netflix allows people to have on one account not password protected. Last thing I need is my parents questioning what I was watching lol and be outed. But its a simple fix, after I watch it delete my old account and start a new profile which take like a minute to do lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no link directly on the page, but on the comments some person confirms its on a popular torrent website. Sure enough, other people confirmed that the torrent is available by giving the website name. The Facebook page I am talking about is the official Hodgee Films A Brony Tale page.

I don't see any links but I do see the following wonderful comments on the page: "Bunch of losers who jerk off to horses." "This should be good. Can't wait to see how the media and society will call us bronies a mental autism rapist pedophiles." A movie about people that jerk it to ponies. Great. o_o" The page is getting plenty of trolls, they need to moderate better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
