I’m in for group watch
Oh I thought the plan was to have a movie night where we all watch it together! If you ever decide to look into that I know a lot of people use cytube.
Yea that's a great idea! I should have mentioned it in the top post ... I wasn't going to try to organise that myself but if someone else was that would be very welcome and they could do it through here.
EDIT: I put a line in the top post about it, asking for people to share their thoughts or put their hand up
Would you be up for organising it?
Otherwise, what we could do is schedule a time and just have a mega thread here (it's what the "monsterdon" crew do over on mastodon)
Lemmy v19.4 fixed the chat sorting of comments so that you get a flat reverse-chron of comments, which could help too.
I can't organize but I'd love to attend!
The Monsterdon idea seems like it could work, Ive seen them have a lot of fun with that. Probably wont see a ton of activity the first movie but Im sure itll grow over time.
I'm not against organizing the cytube idea eventually, but its not something Id have time for right now. Ill start looking into whatd take though.
Cheers for that!
Yea I think a mega thread live watch thing could work well. In part because it’s easy to organise (apart from the scheduling which is always an issue)
Unfortunately lemmy doesn’t have live updates of a mega thread (though it used to). I think it could do with a feature like that though where you can temporarily turn a thread into a live chat.
It appears to be on Disney+ AFAICT (I'm not subscribed).
!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee posted a link to an archive-org copy recently: https://archive.org/details/big-trouble-little-china
It’s not on the US version of Disney+, can’t speak for other regions. It used to be on Pluto TV (free, with ads) but it seems that’s no longer an option either :(
Check your local library, they may have it on DVD or streaming.
Also, I'm currently converting my DVD collection to MP4 with MakeMKV (it's free) and Handbrake (which now has a GUI).
Yea I’m planning to get it on dvd too, I’ve found a good local place.
I think I have this on a deluxe DVD edition? I bought it a a blind buy and I thought it was okay. Perfect excuse to get it out again. I enjoy giving films a second chance but it doesn't necessarily mean I'll like them.
There's no rule against posting direct download links or the like, but I rather be cautious. Anyway, I will share with everyone reading that there's a 21.4 GiB torrent called Big Trouble in Little China 1986 2160p H265 DTS HD 5.1 [TheUpscaler] .mkv ;D
