Lets try this experiment

Start watching Big Trouble in Little China at 7pm, Central Time, USA (as precisely as you can) … and come here for live posts as you watch!

This is ~24 hours from the time of this post

Here’s a timeanddate.com link to the timezone(s) involved.


@AVincentInSpace@pawb.social jas volunteered to run a live watch on cytube the day afterward (approx 7pm Monday). Posts and links should be coming (and see comments below on the idea).

    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 Jul 29. I do not have a link yet but it would not be hard to create one. They take the form https://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, much like streaming it via Discord etc., 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.
