If you're not aware, Mastodon 4.2 will directly break relay.fedi.buzz, the relay many small instances like mine use to pull in posts from other instances based on hashtags used.
Meet George, probably 15-16 feet by now, who made his home at the Wakodahatchee Reserve in S Florida. George keeps a regular schedule, so regular that the ducks in the back were standing on the shore focused on the water waiting for George to emerge. Quacking with excitement as he passed by. Like a game of who can get the closest and not run.
Have you been checking out @radiofreefedi New Year's Day 24 Global Stream Parade?...
It's happening right now and @newellijaytv watch party presentation of "Santa Conquers The Martians" (that should interest some of the #Monsterdon and #CultFilm peeps)
The trailer for the upcoming Toxic Avenger movie (with Peter Dinklage, it doesn't have a release date yet) is now on YouTube, and it's KILLER (I'm not linking, there's gore and much swearing - even in the trailer! 😂 ) but find it and check it out if you're into weird, gross and funny stuff like I am.
Rubber monsters take over Mastodon in a watch party known as #MONSTERDON!
This week's movie is 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH (1957), a Harryhausen classic in which a spacecraft crash-lands in the Mediterranean sea bearing a space lizard! Can the terror be stopped!? Or are Earth's crickets DOOMED?
Alright people, this week on #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party we have EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS (1956), which features Ray Harryhausen animating UFOs for your pleasure! Bring on the spinning miniature clay disks :D
I know everyone is worried about enshitification of the Internet, but I watched a concert from NC in CA tonight and talked about it with a friend from TX in Brazil. Lots of you Fedinerds watched a movie together (again) tonight. Let’s not forget the wins.
vampire trivia: the reason mirrors and film - black and white film traditionally - don't interact is because silver, the old basis of both mirrors and silver-nitrate film, is a pure metal, semi-holy, and refuses to interact with the evil of vampirism.
This week on #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch party, we've got PROJECT MOON BASE (1953), a sci fi epic set in the distant future of 1970, where a woman is president! Wacky.
Incidentally this was on #MST3k S1, Kevin Murphy described it as "openly and condescendingly hostile toward women as a gender" So, y'know, fair warning.
This Sunday at 9pm eastern witness the return of #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party! This week's movie is LOGAN'S RUN (1976), which Roger Ebert apparently called a "vast, silly extravaganza." Sounds right up our street.
Can't stay up until midnight Pacific? Need to go to bed early cause you're middle-aged? CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR EARLY WITH #MONSTERDON !
At 6pm PST we will be watching part 2 of The Hogfather (2006). Discworld's Santa-equivalent "Hogfather" has gone missing on Hogswatch Eve, with mysterious assassins on his trail and Death himself just trying to find out what's going on.
It's available on many streaming services; watch and comment along with us on hashtag #Monsterdon !
