Hydrate it with water, that should help.

Let's watch Hot Fuzz together! If you don't have a copy, I will be streaming it on the official Discord server as well. The live thread will be created 30-60 minutes prior to show time, hope to see you there!

Tip: Sort posts and comments by new to stay up to date on announcements and the conversation in the live thread.

Overview:

As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.

 

I came up with the idea for this community in the shower. What if I want to watch a movie with people from all over the world, and talk about it in a live thread? Live threads for sporting events and TV shows are pretty common, but I don't think I've seen it applied to movies before. The concepts are simple:

  1. Create an announcement post 2-12 hours before you want to host a watch party. This gives people time to find a copy of the movie, if they're interested in participating. If you have the means, you can also mention that you'll be streaming the movie on the official Discord server for those that don't have access to the movie.

  2. Create the live thread 30-60 minutes before the watch party starts. If you're going to be streaming on Discord, be sure to include the link to the server invite as well for anyone that wants to join in at the last minute.

  3. At the designated time, everyone presses play, and discusses the movie in the live thread.

Not really, unfortunately. You'd have to create the community on a different instance, make a sticky post in the original community redirecting them to the new community, and then lock the community to prevent new posts. If you don't have a lot of content in the original community, or don't care about keeping it, you could delete the community after a week or two once people have subscribed to the new community to prevent confusion.

I almost made the rash, uninformed decision to close up shop on lemmy.world and move my community to another instance. Luckily I did some further reading, and yeah, unless whatever other instance I jumped ship to was also patched I would have just been wasting my time since this is a vulnerability in the Lemmy code and affects all instances until the admins apply a bandaid/the code is fixed.

You know what, I kind of like that better than eastern time. It's a worldwide platform, and the time should be universal. Would you recommend the 12 hour format (1:00 PM) or the 24 hour format (13:00)?

It was a small crowd on the Discord server, but a lot of fun. I'm still getting used to this federation thing, my live thread wouldn't show up on the lemmy.film side if you checked the community until I created an account here and subscribed.

Would you like to no more?

The LIVE THREAD is up for Starship Troopers! If that link doesn't work, you can find it my searching for the "watch_party" community. Be sure to subscribe to the community for updates on future watch parties!

Adding that baby to my wishlist, thanks!

That's all there is to it!

I hoping there's good turnout, we'll see. It would be a cool idea to create regional watch parties, like Watch Party Europe or something like that for the other side of the world.

Looks like it's on Netflix, if you're subscribed to that.
