I noticed this post on Mastodon, wanted to open it in the threadiverse, which nowadays I usually do through Piefed.social.
Copied link
In Piefed, Search > Retrieve remote post
"Post not found". Me: what? Did the author or mod delete it already???
Clicked on the link to try, it opened on the native instance (lemmy.world) just fine! Neither author nor mod has deleted it. I read the article.
After, I investigate a bit more. On Piefed.social, I am subscribed to !fediverse@lemmy.world , I can open that /c & can see posts there. But not this post. It's missing.
Come to my Lemmy instance (lemmy.ca) with Alex front-end, confirm I can see the post from here. Twice even.
So why can't I see it on Piefed.social??? Can I not rely on Piefed.social? Censorship, or just an innocent federation issue?
Re UK time, on Saturdays at 16.00 GMT there's #KungFuSat with martial arts films, & at least one regular attendee is in the UK. (When do the clocks spring forward in the UK? In the US, they did last Sunday. Most go by US time changes.)
Here's a collection for #KungFuSat on NeoDB (fediverse alternative to Letterboxd, Goodreads, Ratemy Music etc)
The plot, the acting, the effects, the pacing... none of them were anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. They were often downright good. Is this movie... kind of great???
prepare to watch the movie itself whatever way you can/want (your own physical media, locally stored file, whichever streaming service offers it in your area)
everyone starts the movie when the 'host' posts "press play now" on Mastodon
participants proceed to post about it on Mastodon, including in their posts the hashtag #MondayActionMovie (and sometimes also a hashtag with the name of the movie)
For #MondayActionMovie, the rotating 'host' of the party (the person who chooses the movie) often includes a streaming link in their Mastodon announcement or in the event details in the watch party calendar (go down to the calendar, scroll calendar to the relevant date, then find and click on the event name; a popup will show more info on the event. E.g. a copy of the movie on YouTube https://youtu.be/xxeDmjgSS1I )
BTW there will be a next time, as an August 'season' of BTiLC & other Kurt Russell movies are an annual event. (Tomorrow on #SundayFunnies will show Used Cars and for #MondayActionMovie it will be Escape From New York see https://piefed.social/post/1154200 for more info
Thanks for the info!

Yeah, she took down the baddies' helicopter with it.
Most of us watched the version on Youtube, which pixellated every naughty or gory scene, even the fake snake!
Sometimes just a small portion, but sometimes the whole damned screen!
There are quite a few. I've been putting together a list of Fediverse watch parties here, which can be sorted by time:
And there is the Watch Party Calendar:

The film tomorrow is Jackie Chan classic Half a Loaf of Kung Fu.
#KungFuSat, like the large majority of fediverse watch parties, is a "BYOM" (bring your own media) watch party

If anyone's more beautiful than these ladies, it's Ronn Moss! :D
Are you saying there are Triple B movies where they don't drive a dirtbike through the wall of a house??!?
PS: Watched it last year, I can't remember if it has that. Definitely remember it has the "skateboard assassin vs bazooka" and "frisbee of death" :D
Other movies wish they were this gratuitous!
I love Encounters , adding Basket Case to my wishlist
I just realized the people below the title on that poster look like they're from Logan's Run.
Hmmm, the opposite end of the spectrum from "ultra"? (Ultraman was also taken)
You're welcome!
I'll probably only watch an episode now and then when I want some brainless action but don't have enough time for a ninja movie
Just watched & enjoyed it. Definitely better than much of Full Moon's later Romanian output.
It's definitely the one you should show if the kids ask for Minions :D
I missed it myself because that's when the washing machine repairman finally arrived.
Just watched it.

Thanks so much for the recommendation!
