Movie night


Mohri

Recommended Posts

Would anyone be interested in having  a movie night every once and awhile? I was thinking about doing a Ghibli marathon or something, and I figured that it would be more fun to watch with other people. I was thinking about using Cytube because it is easy to get a group of people in, it auto syncs and there are a lot of resources to find links all over the internet. We could even enjoy MXC this way as well.

I've hung out for MC on Twitch a while back, was a fun time. Never got reported or autocopyrighted cause well it's MXC. Try to do that Twitch with movies leads to trouble, what you mentioned might be good. I've never heard of it.

we've been sort of trying out stuff like that on here.  There's a secret folder that's changed names a few times, the idea of which was to have viewing parties/nights and/or showcase obscure stuff.

 

The biggest issue so far has been finding a reliable upload source for the files.  a lot of places do not discriminate in terms of ads/trackers/popups.  Like Openload was smooth as hell, but I have ublock origin, so had no idea it was generating popups til somebody told me.  Other sites limit the size of files or frequency with which one can upload files. 

 

It's weird to me that it's so hard to find something as simple as a place to upload stuff to that you can just embed and watch.

 

But we did a thing with adult swim pilots.  We did Space Giants.  Wulin Warriors.  the original KTMA MST3Ks.  The first Doctor Who serial.  A spring anime preview awhile back.  some weird anime.  an old radio show called "Johnny Dollar".  Zintar posted some shorts too.

 

I wanted to do movies every so often.  But every time I settle on a place to upload/embed from, it turns out there's something wrong with it.  Either it comes with popups, or there's a file size limit, or something that prevents it from being like a go-to source.

Sadly, the whole time duration or file size seems to be an issue with most services. A down side to Cytube is that you can only really use YouTube, Google Drive and Vimeo links. There is a 1 hour video limit on Google Drive. So, I guess you could just cut a movie into two halves if you really wanted to put the work in on it.

We're just watching MXC right now. Apparently Zintar has not seen it before.

 

Yup, new to me. I like it. Thanks!
