Comment on Fedi Film Club Live Watch Thread - Sun, 7pm CT (Central Time, USA) - July
maegul@lemmy.ml 4 months agoI wholeheartedly encourage this!
It may be a bit late to get interest right now for this cycle/month (hope I’m wrong), in which case I/we may tap your shoulder next month, as this is still a bit of an experiment.
But as I’m not on top of that sort of thing and not in the major time zones, I’m not really placed to organise it … so help and self-organisation is very much appreciated!

It shouldn’t be too big of a deal for me. Just create a new account on Cytube (so I’m not using one linked to my real identity) and turn my HTTP server back on. I just so happen to have an MP4 copy of Big Trouble In Little China already downloaded.
One thing, though – I am going to spend all day tomorrow on an airplane so if you could push this out one more day I’d be able to help.

Yea, we can do it tomorrow … or do “another one” for those who want to do the proper “live watch” thing.
If you’re happy to lock down a time (at least roughly so) … we can put a link in this post to it (I’m more than happy to do that) … and/or a new post.
If you don’t have a link on hand now (because you haven’t set it up), that’s ok too … you could write a post to this community for your cytube room session, edit it as needed, and I can put a link to it in this post.

I would not be averse to doing two back to back days, one with Cytube and one without. I am flexible time wise although I am in Pacific time (UTC-7, 3 hours behind Eastern), or will be as of day after tomorrow. I do not have a link yet but it would not be hard to create one. They take the form cytu.be/r/<name> where <name> is any user-defined string of alphanumeric plus dashes and underscores (iirc). I’ll leave it open to suggestions what name I should go with
One other thing is that exhibiting a movie in this way is technically piracy even if the person hosting the MP4 file legally owns it (which I, erm, don’t), but I doubt most Lemmings will care.

Cool! Best thing is probably for you to make a post when you have details and we can pin and link as needed.
I’ve edited this post with a mention that you intend to organise this.
