[Watch party] Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Saturday 15 August, 12pm US ET
Watch party
(media.piefed.social)
- Get a Mastodon account, if you don't have one already.
- Get the film ready (stream, DVD, download etc).
- Get Mastodon ready (website, app etc) by going to the hashtag
#KungFuSat - At the start time, press PLAY on the film, and read & write posts on Mastodon with the hashtag
#KungFuSat.
There any many ways to do it, but personally I usually use:
- a laptop connected to my TV
- external or remote keyboard/trackpad
- a download of the film (.mp4/.mkv) on my computer, played in my local video player, on the left side of my computer screen/TV
- a web browser window with https://liveblog.stefanhayden.com/ (because you can enter the hashtag once & it stays for future posts; you don't have to keep writing the tag every time for each subsequent post) connected to my Mastodon account, on the right side of my computer screen/TV

Example re the #Monsterdon watch party.
- Left: SMPlayer playing video file of film.
- Right: narrow Zen Browser window with Liveblog
