I am mystified as to the Bronies thing. Not that dudes can't be fannish, but...My Little Pony?
Zoe: So you two were kissin'? Book: Well. Isn't that... special?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My friends told me tonight that My Little Pony is this big fandom for guys, nicknamed "Bronies" (bros + ponies). Can this be true?
I've heard this as well.
Perhaps I could be a Bronie. I mean, if I was really stoned.

Drop everything: My Beautiful Laundrette
That reminds me - I must buy this on Blueray.
OK, favorite gay '80s movies?
Besides My Beautiful Laundrette, I'd have Parting Glances and Prick Up Your Ears on my list. And maybe Longtime Companion.
Any others I've forgotten? I suppose Withnail and I counts, at least in my head.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Does The Hunger count?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Does The Hunger count?
OH HELLS YES

But The Hunger is only like 20 minutes long!
(Feel that burning gaze? That is Plei, glaring at me.)
But oh, the mention of The Hunger reminds me! A friend sent me a message on FB; he's friends and neighbors with the local (and vanished off the face of the planet) jeweler who made the silver replicas of the ankh from The Hunger waaaaay back when. I am getting a replacement sheath for my ankh dagger!

And now I want to watch the opening of The Hunger. Again. Peter Murphy in a cage! David Bowie as a vampire!

Like so many things, My Little Pony mania started on 4chan.

Unrelated to gay 80s cinema and My Little Pony...
If you like the end titles to A Series of Unfortunate Events as much as JZ and I do (we think they're the best of the last decade) then you'll enjoy this inside scoop on their creation.
