So the DVD of Rainbow Rocks comes out today, finally. I couldn't find a rip in a brief search though. I'll have to wait, or actually get the DVD. I could have watched the cut TV version, but no. Now to wait for something.
UPDATE (October 28): Now that the DVD/Blu-ray has shipped widely, the movie is everywhere, including means I can't mention here. I guess it's time to finally watch this stupid thing, for realsies. Spoilers below, recycled from old post:
So I didn't hear too much from things other than the spoilers. Wait, that sounds funny, I heard about the finale of the movie (Though to some, it may not be too much of a surprise), and I heard that Octavia gets a speaking role, thanks to Kazumi Evans. I shouldn't have been surprised about Octavia, really. And I heard from Meghan McCarthy's Twitter that there is something after the credits. I don't even know what it is. I'm aware of the whole Derpy muffin thing going on in the first one, but I don't care. That tweet isn't even a spoiler, more of just a tip. And I'm glad I found it. Also, I did check out the massive screencap dump before the movie was (briefly) released to theaters, which included such things as Daft Punk Rarity, Lyra and Bon Bon, and other things. I won't mention anything that wasn't in the Equestria Daily post.
Also, for the past few days, in my random YouTube browsing, there's been one video thumbnail that's been driving me crazy. It's a video of all the songs from the movie (It's a camrip, judging by the thumbnail), and the thumbnail is rather spoilery, showing Adagio transforming into her true form. At least that's what it looks like. I think I know where that's from. Or not. It's from a different song. I don't care. Time to watch this thing, because I care greatly about this for some reason.
TL;DR WARNING
Why'd I wait over a week 4 extra minutes of footage?
That's... actually the moon.
Okay, there's no pony like the first one. Unless there is later.
Also, this is one of the scenes they posted before the movie came out.
It would probably be cooler if I didn't already know who they were.
GOTTA GO FAST
ORBITAL FRIENDSHIP CANNON
Is that the same one as the first movie? The one that defeated Sunset?
SHE SAID
Since when do you play the bass?
Missed opportunity 1: Applejack or Rainbow Dash as lead singer. Really, any shout out to Hey Ocean.
Meanwhile at Canterlot High...
Another scene from the teasers.
Posters.
CMCs.
Sunset.
Trixie.
Eye catching? Talk about eye candy.
Dear Principal Celestia, Rainbow Rocks.
That is some funny foreshadowing. "Most exciting event since the Fall Formal."
Song already? That was fast.
Oh right, transforming.
Better Than Ever. Not to be confused with Better Than You.
Sunset's clapping was kind of cute for some reason.
Ponytail? Pony ears? Wrong verse.
Oh, Rainbow is a singer.
Hey, what's up Brad?
Out of town, if you know what I mean.
Speaking of Flash, my watching of this thing was interrupted by watching The Flash.
New students, leading into another one of the teasers.
Magical, if you know what I mean.
FIND THE COMPUTER LAB
She's right. They are idiots.
This cafeteria shot is... Oh, Battle of the Bands, not the first movie.
Taco Tuesday. I'm well aware of the whole thing with Sonata and tacos. So... Sonata Dusk is actually Lord Business?
Ah yes, the song I listened to so many times like, over a month ago.
It's not creepy.
Man, all this typing and I'm not even a fifth into the movie. And it only makes sense if you were listening to my thoughts, or something like that. This system doesn't work.
I won't sing along with the chorus. Or type along.
Wait, the song is mixed slightly differently from the teaser version.
And lack of backing voices at end of song.
I like the teaser version of the song better.
Sunset Shimmer will never be able to live this whole demon thing down, won't she?
Weird girls? Yeah, talk to the first movie. Yes, I know they did it.
Yes, I know they are sirens.
Green eyes. That is not good.
The Humane 5 must be protected because Equestrian magic, or something.
"No offense." "None taken."
Reminds me of Todd from Community.
The Book of Shimmer.
It's like email, but magical and made out of trees.
PORTAL
Reminds me of the Time Vortex from Doctor Who.
Meanwhile at Crystal Oaks, which is what I'm calling Twilight's new library/castle.
"Excuse me, Princess"
"Gee, it sure is boring around here."
So, books are cell phones?
The Dazzlings must have been hibernating or something.
"I'm sciencing as fast as I can!"
So... Twilight can build a portal? It's like Pinkie's Brew, only vaguely similar.
Now you're thinking with portals.
"Hurry up, or else we'll have to wait another 8 minutes!"
Aces beat Jacks. Unless Aces play low.
The animation is too good.
Oh hai Vinyl.
What I was saying is, it should be more limited and poor, like EQUESTRIA GIRLS.
Or maybe not.
So... when will Sunset actually take offense?
Lyra. Bon Bon.
Trixie and whoever.
CMC.
Photo Finish and what's their names.
Brad.
Yes, I still insist on calling him Brad.
Diamond Dogs. Or Diamond Humans.
SHE SAID IT!
Or not?
The Dazzlings took their magic.
Octavia.
TRIXIE.
APPLE BLOOPLE.
Green smoke.
So, they absorb whatever that stuff is (Magic?) like Tirek.
Sunset is doing it right.
Well, Twilight makes sense as lead singer.
They're playing a Power Ponies game.
Metal Gear Sparkle?
Okay, when's Maud gonna appear? I know she does.
There she is.
Okay, that was funny.
Man, Twilight sounds bad.
Nope. Exactly.
Not Lesson Zero again?
Daft Punk Rarity. That was in the screencap dump.
It's all or nothing. Just like when I tried to catch this thing in theaters. Or Storm Station Act 2.
There can only be one.
Hi Derpy.
I heard about Snips and Snails rapping.
Orange. You fail.
REJECTED.
This musical quality is just like the Biskit Twins' music video.
Nice outfit?
CMC in their outfits.
Good, but not too good.
WE'RE GETTING 20% WARMER
Photo Finish is under their spell.
This is gonna turn out like the CMC theme song, isn't it?
Snips and Snails are under it too.
This makes me almost want to learn how magnets work.
Derpy.
Hey, what's up Brad?
They're under their spell, right?
Wow, I'm already two thirds in.
Bulk Biceps on violin. Okay then.
Brad is not amused.
Boulder?
Probably not.
Watch out, she's up to something.
Chaos Control!
Pinkie is bored.
There's Octavia.
The Rainbrooms. There should be fan art of that.
They're in, because The Dazzlings made the Principals do it.
STRANGE, ISN'T IT?
Tricks Up My Sleeve reminds me of something. I don't know what.
The Humane 5 are under their spell, I think.
It's like with Discord, only similar.
I don't know who Trixie's band members are.
I like Sonata's outfit.
Actually, I like all their outfits.
STOP. Shimmer time.
Trust me and we will escape from the closet!
Hi Vinyl.
This must be the song where they show their true forms.
The time is now. I know it happens, it's just a question of when.
Where did Vinyl even get that thing?
Yep.
IT IS TIME.
Hey, I know that song.
Nice nod.
It's time to rock the rainbow.
This is gonna be good. Too bad I don't have any popcorn.
Red eyes. This is that thumbnail I was talking about.
Yep, they transformed.
They look kind of like Windigoes.
SUPER RAINBOW MUSICAL ATTACK ACTIVATE!
Sunset has to sing, won't she?
I love how Vinyl doesn't speak.
Sunset Shimmer sounds like Twilight when she sings.
Makes sense, I guess.
When in doubt, C Flat.
Wait, does this song even have a C flat?
Sunset Shimmer is real super sand.
Wait, will the Dazzlings end up on the good side now?
It's just like that Simpsons episode with the Party Posse.
Will they kiss?
No.
There's Maud.
Okay, that guitar playing was awesome, I guess.
Well, at least she can go through whenever she wants.
Dear Princess Twilight, today I learned that it's impossible to control your own behavior. If only the first movie ended that way.
Here's the art thing. The Derpy pic is cute.
Well, there's that clip Meghan tweeted about nonspecifically. I saw a pic of it, but I couldn't get context, and the Derpibooru comments flew over my head.
I knew there had to be something up about there only being one Twilight. But it never crossed my mind until just now, and I still don't care.
I guess we'll have to wait for Equestria Academy. Whenever that happens.
Also, Under Our Spell kind of reminds me of Find the Music In You, or whatever it's called. Like a dark version of it.
So... my opinions? It sucked. 0/10, false advertising. Where are the Rainbow Rocks? Maud Pie had, well, Maud, and rainbow rocks. Why aren't there any in Rainbow Rocks?
Just kidding, I liked it.
Now to go unfilter that tag.

Do it. DO IT. It's a noticeable improvement over the first one. Not that the first one is bad, but Rainbow Rocks is better. Speaking of EQUESTRIA GIRLS, there's a new one.

I still haven't watched Rainbow Rocks yet. Meh, I'll watch it when it comes out on Netflix.

I bought the Blu-Ray of Rainbow Rocks and watched it three times in a row. It's just that good. Reformed Sunset Shimmer is great. EG was good but a little timid, like they weren't sure people were going to like it, but EG:RR is a much more confident movie with plenty of great songs.

Because I wanted to try something new (And I've never seriously tried to write a fan fic before), I've decided to give National Novel Writing Month a try. I'm gonna be writing a crossover between Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls. The only Rainbow Rocks spoiler so far (I haven't even finished the first paragraph as of writing) is a small, nonspecific mention. But I may do something with a certain thing seen at the end of Rainbow Rocks. I won't say it for those who haven't seen the movie. I submitted it to Equestria Daily as 6 Squared (Which kind of doesn't work, because aforementioned Rainbow Rocks ending), but I wish I came up with Through the Mirror as a title beforehand. Cause that's a better sounding title.

I guess. That said, I might as well post this, for those who care:
NaNoWriMo Say 1 Recap
After one procrastination laden day of writing, word count stands at 309. At this point, 50K seems to be a rather optimistic goal. Oh well. Hopefully, I can focus more over the rest of the month. Hooray for zero planning, which I'm pretty sure is the point of this.
That was... short.
