Heh, yeah.

You sound like Jordan Michael Taylor from BlimeyCow right now! (Not that that's a bad thing, it's good.)Β
I seem to be more and more of a Christopher Nolan fanboy the more I watch his movies. It's a big wonder to me why I haven't seen Inception (2010) and The Dark Knight Rises. (2012)
You can almost say that my relationship with Christopher Nolan as fellow (future) filmmaker can be compared to that of Osamu Tezuka's (the total "kamisama of manga", if you don't know your anime history) idolazation of Walt Disney, which he got to meet in 1964. Just like Tezuka-san, I hope to meet Mr. Nolan one day.
I also appreciate the work of Hayao Miyazaki, even though his worldview is the antithesis of the Bible, and his film's can be annoyingly preachy, his artwork is like what Kurosawa-san's live-action work is to the anime film.

Christopher Nolan is a genius. Pure and simple.
My favorite film of his has to be Inception. Just the premise alone is enough to get me to watch it, and the execution was BEYOND awesome.
Miyazaki's work has an unearthly beauty about it that I really love as well.

I don't need to be impressed with "premises", I'm not that type. I think the audience has to earn a classic scene in film instead of being given it at the start, unless that movie is such a classic that every part of the film is considered classic.
I wouldn't think you knew about Miyazaki-sama. My guess is your fave film of his would be "Howl's Moving Castle." (Mine is "Laputa: Castle in the Sky.")

I don't mean to say that premise alone defines a good movie, but I do want to make sure it's a story I'd enjoy. I wouldn't watch "Love's Enduring Promise" for instance because I just don't like romance films in general, based on the premise of two people falling in love. Boring . . .
Actually my favorite is Ponyo. Not a big surprise though considering I'm a brony. 
Speaking of anime, have you seen Steamboy? It's another favorite of mine.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's actually "premises" that can be decieving too.
For instance, think of how dumb the movie Titanic (1997) sounds: a tragic disater where hundreds of people died is "glamorified" into a musical and a romantic love story between characters Jack and Rose with state-of-the-art CGI.
And yet it became the highest grossing film ever until Avatar (2009) beat it, in which was beaten agian technically by Gone with the Wind (1939) because of inflation.
The Princess Bride would sound pretty dumb too if it was a premise, you would have to like to watch it. That's why I didn't really get intrested in watching it because it sounded like a chick-flick and just an okay movie.
I really never thought of you as an anime person, actually, but I thought if you were into anime, it would mean you were into adult mature and action stuff like "Death Note" "Hellsing" "Akira" and "Full Metal Alchemist".
But no, I've never heard of Steamboy, and I'm sure that either amazon video doesn't have it, or it isn't on Prime.
To tell you the truth, I've been dying to have a great anime to direct my attention to (and not just because I love studio Ghibli and want some Japanese influences) but because there is so many animes out there, and I feel like I would end up with either a dumb or innapropriate one...
π: 0 β©: 1
That's probably why I haven't seen Titanic. I'm not into romance movies. On the other hand, I loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding, so premise isn't the only thing I judge a movie by. It simply allows me to focus only on movies I'd like. I've got a ton of hobbies which I love to focus on, so I usually limit my time in front of the TV to a couple of hours a day, maybe three or four. Sometimes though I do sit down and watch for hours if it's a great show I just found, like Avatar: The Last Airbender. MAN, that is addictive! And only three seasons, too.
I'm not an anime person per se', but I do think they have a lot of good stories. I loved Death Note, but I haven't seen those others. I've heard Helsing is pretty good. Same with Akira. I really want to see Patlabor. I LOVED Gundam (I've seen 08th MS Team and a couple movies).
Amazon Video might have it. It was released in both America and Japan, and it has a great cast (including Patrick Stewart).
π: 0 β©: 1
That why it's ridiculous to watch or not to watch a fiction based on some dumb "premise". I believe wholeheartedly that the only reason I am into such "niche fiction" like Labyrinth, Earthbound, Gormenghast, Redwall, and the Wheel of Time (and other franchises I forget) is because I didn't care about what the title or cover protrayed. I guess you could say I am a "accidental hipster".
It does have it, only it's available only by buying it at $11.00 (a lot of my first giftcard), so I am hoping to find it at the library so I don't have to buy it, but it seems worth it.

Just to let you know, there's rumors of a Breaking Bad Bad lip Reading.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I don't know...what would you think of a Bad Muzzle Reading of MLP:FiM?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think it would be hilarious.
π: 0 β©: 1
That and maybe a Doctor Who BLR, and a Bronies reactone, and a Lord of the Rings one, and a STar WArs one (oh my gosh, a Star WArs one!).Β
But if I could vote on which one they could do next, I would vote MLP:FiM.
π: 0 β©: 1
Definitely. I'd love to see what they'd do with it. Star Wars would be my next. What about Indiana Jones? I'd love to see them redo the scenes in Marion's bar.
π: 0 β©: 1
They seem to do indivual scenes for movies, but random clips for TV shows...
I would say Maybe mix it up by doing random scenes from all of the movies for Star Wars/ They could do what they did with Bella and Edward in the Twilight ones with Han and Leia and Anakin and Padme.
Personally, I would want them not to try to mmathc the voices in MLP:FiM (they never really match the voices) but they should especially BLR the singing, I feel like that would work.
Also...Firefly, other stuff I can't remember and...OH, DUCK DYNASTY!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
I wouldn't want them to try and match the voices. In fact, I would hope they do them with masculine voices, because I think it would be hilarious.
Firefly would be hilarious I think, because of how serious that show took itself. That's the kind of show that makes for the best parody.
OH MAN!!! Can you IMAGINE the kind of fun they'd have with Willie?! He's so serious and takes himself so seriously, he's absolutely RIPE for parody!
π: 0 β©: 1
Why do I agree with that masculine voices bit, so creative! ANd I wouldn't mind if they would voice-cameo a famous fandom member in there as well...
And I could only imagine how they would voice Discord... (Maybe a Black woman's voice?)
They could go overboard with all the Sci-fi series if you think about it: Star Trek, Babylon 5, BAttlestar Galactica, ect ect.
But they already started with "The Walking Dead" so let more speculative fiction BLR commence!
Especially fun with the commentary scenes. I would also think it's funny if they did the reverse to SI and made him serious-like.
I also love when BLR makes a character "sing a song", and if I could pick one person for them to do that with it would be Jack Harkness, not just to get revenge on his "propganda character" ways, but to have a seriously hilarious parody of him.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh man, can you imagine Wanda Sykes as Discord?!
BSG would be funny too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Or maybe even someone like Whoppi Goldberg. I REALLY hope they do MLP:FIM one day!

Tell me what you think of this:
Stan Lee writing the first episode of a season of MLP:FiM introducing a new bad guy who is sort of a bad guy above all villians (even stronger than Discord) and is maybe a sort of Melkor/Morgoth figure. (Morgoth being from the Silmarillion.)
His traits could sort of be a shout out to bronies of Marvel characters like Galactus and Magneto just like Discord was a homage to Q to the older fans.
He could possibly appear in the episode where the Mane six become super heros.Β
He could also be played by a well known super villain actor like Ian Mckellan l, who played Magneto and be some sort of ancient alicorn who exited before the reigns of Celestia and Luna.
π: 0 β©: 1
I dunno about Stan Lee writing for MLP. He has the wrong style for the show: too much focus on drama and character and too little on good humor and morals.
I also don't see how you can have a character *more* powerful than Discord. He could bend reality itself to his will. Maybe if you gave the villain time traveling abilities as well, but then time travel stories are notoriously bad, or at least full of paradoxes and plot holes.
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't realize that before, but your right, I guess he couldn't adapt to that kind of writing.
But then again, it's kind of commonplace to find a famous writer writing for a tv show. Fpr instance, did you know J.K. Rowling was almost a writer for Doctor Who after she wrote on Harry Potter?
A good writer, I think, should be able to adapt to any kind of writing.
I kind of meant more "preceeding" villian than "powerful".
For instance, Morgoth/Melkor was just as powerful as Sauron/Annatar but Sauron decieded to be under Melkor's rule because Melkor was older.
I'm thinking there is such a being in MLP universe. (Okay, it's personal fanon, but still...)
I think what I meaant to say in the original question is more like, "Wouldn't it be cool if (so-and-so famous 20th century speculative fiction writer) wrote an MLP:FiM fan fic/EU novel?
I mean, if Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, Gene Roddenbury or any of the like were to write a MLP:FiM fan fiction, what would it be like, and what would they write about?
Would any of those men be bronies? I SURE THINK SO!
And, BTW, if youthink stories with time traveling are so ultra-bad, why do you like series Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trkk, and MLP:FiM which are all about time travel?
Gosh, I think you should SERIOUSLY quit most of your fandoms then!
π: 0 β©: 1
I think I see where you're coming from on that subject. Perhaps then some of those authors would work.
I don't think stories with time-traveling are ultra-bad. I meant that usually they overlook the most solid argument against time machines being built: the Grandfather Paradox. Even Doctor Who does this. It doesn't keep me from enjoying the show, but it is annoying at times when I think about it.
π: 0 β©: 1
It kind of comes from a want to reserect dead aurthors to see how they would react to fan fiction and fandoms and what kind of fan fics they would write for certain fictional universes.
Personally, I think any contradictions/paradoxes made in Doctor Who would be solved by it's retcons or ultra-advanced technology. Remember the Master's paradox TARDIS? Yeah...
And plus,it's not like anyone has time-traveled in real-life, or if it's possible or not. According to the doctor, "time can be rewritten" and time is "wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey".
But if Time Travel were to be real, the smallest changes would repture time inexplicately. Even if an object was moved slightly for a person not to notice it that changes the world.
I think the thought of this (the realism thing) probably comes from the trend that started in the 2000s like from Tv Tropes "Everything wrong with" and Christopher Nolan movies of making fiction ultra-realistic/scientifically true, which lead to calling out/critcizing out the most miniscle of contradictions/inaccuracies to death found in any fiction.
But I seem to like that trend since it makes fiction writers to look for problems/contradictions/paradoxs that would RUIN the fiction. (Compare "Man of Steel" to the original 1979, "Superman".)
Without that thought the Marvel/DC cinimatic universe would probably not be better than other speculative movies.

Yeah, but as I said the Grandfather Paradox is what really kills any notion of time travel being real. The gist of it is thus: Suppose a man called Alex decided for some ungodly reason to go back in time and kill his grandfather before he was born. So he builds a time machine, hops in, and then goes back to when his grandfather was a young man, before his parents were born, and he kills him. Well, if he kills him, then he never existed because his parents hadn't been born and thus could never have conceived a son. But if he never existed, then how did he decide to kill his grandfather in the first place? And if he never decided to kill his grandfather, then granddad must still be alive, thus Alex never went back in time to kill him. But if Alex never went back in time to kill him, he still must have the motivation to kill him because circumstances haven't changed. So we're back to square one. Repeat ad infinitum. This is the fundamental problem with time travel into the past. No matter what you do, you can never change the past, because changing the past results in the event you wish to change never having had happened, and if it never happened, then there was no motivation to change it in the first place and thus no reason to build a time machine and go back in time.
Time travel into the future actually happens fairly regularly these days, with the space program. Being in space means you move much faster than most humans and for far longer (months at a stretch). Since time slows down the faster you move, then most astronauts are actually a little bit younger than they would have been had they not gone into space. Pretty nifty. In fact, it's the entire basis for how GPS works so accurately. Traveling backwards in time has happened on a subatomic level with some experiments showing that, under the right circumstances, an effect can actually happen before a cause. But on the macro-scale it never happens.
This line of thinking actually pre-dates Nolan. People have analyzed sci-fi for decades. It's where the inspiration to build rocketships and space stations came from. In fact, the TASER could be said to fall into this category, because the word TASER stands for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle. Tom Swift (who incidentally has no middle name) was an inventor in a series of stories from the 1910-1941, and one of the inventions he's famous for, among such devices as a supersonic motorcycle and a giant telescope, is an electric rifle that was able to simply stun an opponent rather than killing him. Jack Cover, a NASA researcher, developed a similar device after being inspired by Tom Swift, who was his childhood hero. Nowadays most of Swifts inventions are possible, though a few are still in the realm of fantasy. But stories like these still inspire engineers like me to invent things and develop technology through analyzing fictional technology and helping bring it to reality.

I already knew what the grandfather paradox was. You didn't have to tell it to me like I was some sort of neranderthal.
I personally, would be scared to live in a universe where mass time travel would be possible. To many things to worry about.
When I was talking about the Christopher Nolan thing, is that people are so sick and tired of unrealistic, repetitive, and unoriginal fiction, fiction writers have now come to grips with reality (so to speak) and have started a movement maybe around the 2000s of making fiction "real" probably as a result of TV tropes and "Everything wrong with" badmouthing inaccurate fiction. (This applies to much more than sci-fi BTW.)
But as for the other, I would say two other authors who where influential would be Jules Verne and H G Welles.Β

The story is okay in the first one, but it REALLY suffers from poor writing and bad setup. I was hoping it would draw me in, and instead it thrust me into the story without so much as a "Once upon a time." I wanted to like it, but I quit reading it halfway through.
The second one is phenomenal, though. It's plagued with scientific inaccuracies, but this is something I can look past for a well-told story. I loved the interesting take on where V1 ended up, and I think it compares favorably with Portal 1: it's short, but that works in its favor as there isn't much story to begin with. The story's brevity is good in that it doesn't overstay its welcome, and it allows the reader to draw their own conclusions about what sort of impact this event had on Equestria.
The last story is pretty cool so far (I've only read the first chapter). I'm not in love with the protagonist, which isn't a good sign, but I love "fish-out-of-water" stories, so I'll probably read it all. I might even feel like completing it, though I'll probably make some drastic changes to the beginning in order to make it more interesting and draw the reader in.
