I am sad to report that Robin Williams, famed actor and comedian, has passed away at the age of 63 of suspected suicide.
I'm not proud to admit I haven't seen MANY of his films or stand-up, knowing of him primarily in my childhood as the Genie from Aladdin, Peter Pan from Hook, and Professor Brainard from Flubber. I think I may need to start watching some of his acclaimed films like Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poet's Society and Good Will Hunting, and probably some of his stand-up (which I've heard is pretty great) to truly appreciate his work and what we've lost.
Heaven has just become a lot funnier. Rest in Peace, Mr Williams.

MLP G5 Movie: A New Generation Discussion
I'll just come out and say it: I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. No foolin'. Yeah, the plot didn't exactly reinvent the wheel and I imagine the animation will be an acquired taste, but I found myself truly impressed by the writing, the endearing characters and even the songs. I'm actually considering watching it again. Who knows? Maybe this will breathe new life into the franchise and fandom, as well as potentially refine on G4. What say you?
Problems portraying the Pony-Changeling Conflict.
With the conflict canonically at an end with Thorax in charge and friendly relations established between the two nations, I look back on hundreds of pre-October 2016 stories and even those now with 'AU' tags and wonder how the fandom has portrayed the conflict between these two nations. I do like how Wikipedia describes it as a 'Cold War', which I think is pretty apt when you think about it. Equestira and the Changeling Queendom/Kingdom/Hive/Pack/Empire (Man, there's been a lot of different descriptions) have been at loggerheads on and off for hundreds of years, the latter being the aggressor in every flare up. So with that in mind, there are really two problems I see come up regularly when I read fanfiction tackling this: 'Both Sides': Ya see... I don't have a problem with this in principle. Looking at both sides of a conflict is really interesting and makes for good stories. The big problem, however, is just that... there really isn't. If you go strictly by canon information, the
Death of Chrysalis (original journal version)
Based on the 2017 hit satirical black-comedy, Death of Stalin. Set in an alternative future where Chrysalis was never toppled from her throne, when the tyrannical monarch suddenly dies of a cerebral hemorrhage, her legions of parasitic offspring square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Hive ruler. Among the contenders are the ill-prepared, slow-on-the-uptake heir apparent Imago, the wily Bullet Ant and Domino -- the sadistic scientist turned secret police chief. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains -- just who the buck is running the Hive?

I had almost forgotten about Good Will Hunting. But Dead Poets Society is definitely a testament to his dramatic acting. He blew my mind in that film and owns EVERY scene he's in.
