Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Here's the whole thing. It's best Christmas special ever. Here's the theme summed up at the end as a trailer. It's fucking fantastic

the only Discworld adaptation I like is Going Postal, fite me

death looks weird in this one

Definitely the one I'm most apt to show other people, but I like The Color of Magic for myself.

Wyrd Sisters is my problematic fave. The voices and designs have permanently altered how I imagine the characters. Unfortunately, like most Discworld adaptations, the pacing is ludicrous and the dialog is too faithful to the book, to the point where you can't actually follow what's going on unless you already know the story.

Didn't even know they did a movie version of going postal, I really like moist as a character.

It's one of my favorite Discworld books, and definitely my favorite of the live-action movies. Although I haven't gotten around to watching the recent BBC The Watch show, maybe that's better.

The only similarity to The Watch books is the names of various characters, most Discworld fans I've talked to about it disliked it.

I've personally got serious misgivings about how they didn't adapt any of the stuff going on with the dwarves and gender identity.

It's very odd right? Cheery's story was one of my favorite character arcs in all of Pratchett's books. I'm not sure exactly what they were aiming for, like alright cool casting a trans woman but the character doesn't have anything to do with the actual themes of gender identity from the books.
