@@@@This comes from above: it's strongly recommended to use a VPN for cytube. @@@@ There was a thread recently about vpns and a few you should explicitly avoid.

Something is going on with the domain name for hexbear and its cytube instance, if it isn't resolved by tonight we can try watching Yuki/something else somewhere if users want - we have a matrix room setup where we can talk about it: if you're interested you can message me or Wombat your matrix username and we can invite you.

By this point it seems like the 4~6 PM Eastern Time slot for Blorptube watch parties — which I'll be calling "lagniappetizers" because I can^[After all, they're bonus things shown before each night's Main Course of Visual Cuisine™!] — has been taken on every day of the week.

Currently, the watch parties for this time slot are:

  • MONDAY: @Grebgreb@hexbear.net will presumably be showing K-On and later other anime shows and movies at 6 PM Eastern Time for the foreseeable future.
  • TUESDAY: @tithonis@hexbear.net will be showing Romanzo Criminale – La serie and later various yakuza films from the 1960s and 1970s at 5 PM Eastern Time for the foreseeable future.
  • WEDNESDAY: @Erika3sis@hexbear.net will be showing various fanime, as well as Albert Barillé's Once Upon a Time... series of educational cartoons, usually at 5 PM Eastern Time, but sometimes at 6 PM or 4 PM instead.
  • THURSDAY: @tithonis@hexbear.net and @CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net alternate picks for various interesting movies and such, shown at 5 PM Eastern Time.
  • FRIDAY: @Carcharodonna@hexbear.net will be showing Furuhata Ninzaburo and Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger, and oftentimes other content such as anime films, at 5 PM Eastern Time. This time slot was historically used for Columbo.
  • SATURDAY: @Erika3sis@hexbear.net will be showing My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls usually at 5 PM Eastern Time, occasionally at 4 PM Eastern Time depending on circumstances.
  • SUNDAY: @Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net will presumably continue to show assorted movies circa 5:30 PM Eastern Time, sometimes at 5 PM Eastern Time.

If there's anything outdated or incorrect here, please tell me. In any case, the main use of this list right now would be for contacting individual watch party organizers in order to maybe share a watch party or something; but if any of these regular watch party organizers eventually wants to give up their time slot, then they can also use this post to announce that by tagging all the other regulars in the comments. Then if somebody wants to take over that slot, then they should also tag all the other regulars.

Hypothetically this post could even be used to reserve even earlier time slots for watch parties, but I don't think there's much demand for that.

Tips for watch party organizing

If there's anything you'd like me to add, change, or correct about these tips, please tell me. Also, other people have written guides to things such as torrenting, subtitling, and writing content warnings, which you might want to look into as well.

Basics of Blorptube (for noobs)Blorptube is a website that lets users chat while watching videos together. Users do not need privileges or special permission to queue videos on Blorptube; anyone can queue videos by clicking the plus icon below the video player. Do that, then perhaps scroll down, and you'll see a bar that says "Media URL" — paste the link to your video into that bar and hit "queue next" or "queue last".

You can click "connected users" to open and close the list of users. You can click the plus and minus icons above the video player to make the video player bigger or smaller.

There hasn't been much of a need for moderation in Blorptube's history — the rules basically amount to "don't be a chud, a dick, or otherwise inaproppriate" — but should the need arise, just write "stalin" in the chat or send stalin a private message by clicking stalin's username in the user list. Stalin's Hexbear username is @wombat@hexbear.net if you need that; @Grebgreb@hexbear.net or i_gargle_good is also a Blorptube moderator, in fact Blorptube's webmaster. Blorptube also has a few other moderators who commonly join watch parties.

For moderation purposes, Blorptube users must also have Hexbear accounts and might be asked to confirm this.

Blorptube has many in-jokes, which regulars will gladly explain.

The first time you log into Blorptube's Visual Cuisine room, you'll be asked to accept a script. All this script does is show a message when you enter the room, it's nothing to worry about.

It's strongly recommended to use a VPN when visiting Blorptube, because many of the videos shown on Blorptube are hosted on TankieTube — which uses P2P technology that might expose your IP address (by extent your hometown and ISP) to other users if you don't use a VPN.

The link to Blorptube's chatroom used for watch parties is blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine


Advanced Blorping (things I wish I'd learned earlier)You can move things up in the queue even without privileges, just by copying the link from the queue and hitting "queue next"; this might be useful if the watch party has been delayed too long and you just want to get the show on the road. Contrarily, you cannot move things down in the queue without privileges.

You can type emotes in the chat either by clicking "emote list" below the chatbox, or by typing a colon, the starting letters of the emote name, and hitting the tab key until the correct emoji shows up.

You can disable the video player in the "playback" section of the options menu.


Video hosting + accessibility, incl. dubs and content warningsIt is ideal to use tankie.tube for video hosting. You can use YouTube in a pinch, but between BDS or degoogling concerns, and issues such as YouTube removing copyrighted music or IP blocking some users on Blorptube, it really is best to use TankieTube even for things originally hosted on YouTube. At the same time, you should aim to have a "plan B" if TankieTube has an outage. You might want to use Vimeo, Dailymotion, or Streamable as your plan B, or even just stick to YouTube — these are all platforms supported by Blorptube.

You can find shows and movies through torrents or the Internet Archive. If it doesn't come with subtitles, try opensubtitles.com. Any subtitles are welcome, but ideally you should have SDH subtitles available as an option. Since the chat is near-exclusively in English anyways, you generally don't need to bother with non-English subtitles, but like, feel free to.

imdb.com and doesthedogdie.com can be a good starting point for content warnings, but if that isn't available, you might be able to use tvtropes.org, or skimming plot descriptions or even the movie/show itself to identify potential content warnings.

Whether you want to show an English dub is your own choice. Dubs can make it easier for partygoers to follow along on the show while reading the chat, however some users very strongly dislike dubs for aesthetic or artistic reasons. You can use audiovault.net to find audio description tracks as well, which can also help users follow along on the show and chat simultaneously, but this requires an account, and some users strongly disfavor the idea of listening to AD. Both dubbing and AD would be non-issues if PeerTube/TankieTube supported multiple audio tracks.

There is not much interest in SL interpretation, not that PeerTube supports multiple video tracks, anyways.

If you intend to organize, say, a language immersion watch party, find-and-replace "English" in this section with the respective language.

If you yourself are unwilling or unable to personally upload the content you want to show, you can find someone else who can upload it for you. @Grebgreb@hexbear.net and @AernaLingus@hexbear.net have done this for me. @tithonis@hexbear.net and @AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net have also contributed original subtitles for previously-unsubtitled content, so if you can't find any subs for what you want to show, consider hitting them up.


Time-related tipsWhen you organize a watch party, we assume you've reserved all the time from the time listed in your watch party's announcement post ("listed time") until 8 PM Eastern Time (or just whenever someone else's watch party is listed as starting). This is to say, if you start at 4 PM, you've reserved 4 hours for your watch party, 5 PM is 3 hours, 6 PM is 2 hours, 7 PM is 1 hour, etc.

The amount of time you should reserve for your watch party should be about one-third longer than the runtime of the thing you're showing, to account for pee breaks, starting delays, or other eventual delays, without cutting too much (if at all) into other organizers' time. This is to say, if you want to show something about 40 minutes long, reserve 1 hour for your watch party; 60 minutes of content gets a 1½ hour watch party; 2 hours of content gets a 3 hour watch party.

It is customary for watch parties to start ~15 minutes after their listed time, sometimes earlier and sometimes even later. This means you shouldn't worry too much about cutting into other organizers' time. However, if the chat is still dead half an hour after your watch party's listed time, you might want to edit your announcement post to advance the listed time by one hour; make sure to notify the taglist about this. If your watch party is on a weekday, and you aren't sure how much interest there is in the thing you're showing, you might therefore want to reserve an hour longer than the "one-third rule" of the previous paragraph suggests.

When choosing a listed time for your watch party, you should go for a "round number", i.e. :00 or :30. Since most partygoers are based in Europe and Abya Yala ("the Americas"), consider whether the time you're choosing is inconvenient for one group by forcing them to stay up late when they need to wake up early for work, or inconvenient for the other group by coming on right as they're coming home from work. Also, remember daylight savings time, particularly the fact that different countries enter and leave DST at different times.

Although it is customary to start watch parties ~15 minutes after listed time, you as organizer might wish to log on a few minutes before listed time. However, nobody will complain if you're fashionably late to your own watch party.


Announcement posts and pingingWhen it comes to the announcement post, I would recommend putting the following in the post title:

  1. The name of what you'll be showing, and a brief description of it.
  2. Where the watch party will be held, i.e. Blorptube, hypothetically somewhere else.
  3. A specific time for the watch party, provided in several time zones.
  4. Some sort of one-liner or slogan.

I would also recommend attaching a picture to your announcement post for extra visibility.

The post body should ideally include the following:

  1. A link to the chatroom (i.e. https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine)
  2. A warning to use a VPN and have a Hexbear account.
  3. A description of what you'll be showing, perhaps including its runtime.
  4. Information on accessibility, particularly subtitles and content warnings; you may also wish to specify whether you'll be showing the content dubbed, if applicable; or other information if applicable.

You can of course also add your own personal flair.

You ping users by copy-pasting the taglist in the comments. Very specifically in the comments, mind you: putting the taglist in the announcement post body does NOT work! You need to use the comments.

Your ping comment should ideally include some information about what you're showing and when / how long until the watch party starts. You should avoid sending more than three pings; two-to-three is the ideal. I personally ping once when I make the announcement post (oftentimes ~11 hours before the watch party itself), then once more an hour before listed time, and then one last time 10~15 minutes before listed time.

You do not need special permission from anyone to use the taglist for your watch parties.


Choosing what to showIt's ultimately your choice what to show, but you can use Blorptube's demographics and what other people are already showing as a guide if you want to. The general demographics of Blorptube/Hexbear are largely first-world gen X to millennial, to a lesser extent gen Z; blorpers are disproportionately LGB-and-especially-T+ and ND people; and obviously everyone's a commie to boot. The lagniappetizers currently largely consist of cartoons/anime, tokusatsu, mystery/crime shows, and obscure non-Anglo films.

You also might want to ask people in the Blorptube chat about the things you want to show, or even make a /c/movies post asking for interest in a potential watch party, to gauge interest before committing to organizing a watch party. You'll also want to consider how easy it is to get a hold of the content in question before gauging interest, and consider how easily viewers can shift their attention between the show and the chat.

If you're showing a series, you might want to keep in mind how much of it you can stomach at a time — if you can only put up with three episodes back to back, there's no point in showing five just to make the most of your time. Don't feel like you have to commit to something, either: if you're getting tired of showing something, or the other partygoers seem to be losing enthusiasm, switch to something else.

If you end up finishing a watch party with some extra time to spare, you might want to have what I call "deadairmat" on hand as something to queue just to pass the time. I have mainly used classic Fireman Sam for this.

When it comes to "peebreakmat", i.e. videos to queue between movies or episodes to give people a chance to stretch their legs, grab snacks, and do their business, you might want to go for something like a music video. And I do mean specifically a music video: just a song with a still image also works, but I personally prefer to have a moving image to look at.

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a good VPN whenever visiting Blorptube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy.

We will be using Blorptube tonight: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine It is still recommended to use a VPN for Peertube.

Come join us for at 5 pm EDT for the first two episodes of Romanzo criminale – La serie! The show is an adaptation of the 2005 film Romanzo Criminale, in turn based on the 2002 novel of the same name by Giancarlo De Cataldo. Rougly based on the true story of the Banda della Magliana, a Roman criminal syndicate that emerged during the late 1970s amidst the political turmoil of the Years of Lead. Shot on location in and around Rome, most of the characters speak Romanesco. The series (and the film it's based off of) form a kind of central Italian companion piece to Gomorrah, which I will also be showing at some point.

Episode 1 opens with the news of the killing of the lawyer Fulvio Croce by the Brigate Rossi in 1977. Three friends, Libanese, Freddo, and Dandi, decide to up their game from petty crime to the domination of the Roman criminal underground. Opposite them is police commissioner Nicola Scialoja, whose links to communists lead to his investigation into the gang being undermined by his superiors, whose links to GLADIO and neo-Fascist organizations become evident later on. Episode 2 sees the trio, flush with cash, begin to flesh out their vision of a criminal empire. This show was a cult favorite in Italy when it aired; it's a favorite of mine as well.

CWs:

This is not a complete list; I couldn't find any CW lists at any of the usual places for this but it is explicit. There's drugs/sex/violence/gore/misogyny/gambling throughout the series. I'll work on getting a more granular list going forward.

  • Graphic violence
  • Murder
  • Execution by gunshot
  • Kidnapping
  • Gambling
  • Usury
  • Explicit substance use and trafficking
  • Misogyny
  • Homophobia
  • Police brutality
  • Sex, nude scenes, objectification of women
  • Violence, blood, and gore
  • Sexual assault/casual disregard for the notion of consent

The Robert Downey Jr. produced and starring The Sympathizer came and went last year with a lot less fanfare than many expected due to the talent involved and the fact the miniseries was based on Viet Thanh Nguyen‘s Pulitzer Prize winning novel of the same name. However, some unexpected fallout from the Emmy-nominated Park Chan-wook and Don McKellar created and written high-profile project emerged today from the Writers Guild of America West, and it really ain’t pretty.

The acclaimed Oldboy director and the multiple Genie Award winner have both been expelled from the WGA West.

The ejection is result of Park and McKellar crossing a pretty big line. In contradiction of all the rules of Hollywood labor best practices, the duo worked and wrote on the HBO miniseries during the 2023 strike that saw the scribes’ guild and SAG-AFTRA bring Hollywood to a halt for almost six months. The consequences that Park and McKellar have now suffered, as was revealed by the WGAW in a missive to members today, is the harshest the Guild can bring down on members, and in this case, some very high-profile members.

Whether or not, Park and McKellar lose too much sleep over it besides the public shaming is another matter.

“Three other members were disciplined for violating the strike rules during the 2023 MBA strike, and those members did not appeal,” the WGAW said Friday of Park and McKellar, as well as Anthony Cipriano (who is suspended until May 1, 2026). “In each of these cases, the boards decided these disciplines should be made public.”

The Spine of Night (2021) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was looking for something new in the sword and sorcery genre, and came across Spine of Night (2021), an adult animated film.

It wasn't the best animation (the backgrounds were gorgeous) nor was the writing very special. I even think the voice acting left something to be desired. So you might think that I disliked the film?

No! It scratched my itch for kinda-shitty, Ralph Bakshi-esque underground animation. You have rotoscoping, you have naked people, you have gory violence. I don't know how this movie got made, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had been crowd funded.

It even reminded me of Heavy Metal. In Spine of Night, the plot is one story told like an anthology collection. More like an excuse to show off a different premise every 20 minutes than a complete package. Unlike Heavy Metal, there is definitely a direct relation between each segment.

If people can think of more animated movies like this that are worth checking out, let me know! It doesn't have to be fantasy themed.

We will be using Blorptube tonight: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine It is still recommended to use a vpn for peertube.

The visual cuisine for tonight is more the end of K-on season 1, the end of Poitrine, and the Adventure of Yoko due to popular demand.

~6pm est Due to popular demand K-On is an anime about a group of girls joining their high school music club to prevent it from being disbanded. We are going to try watching it at an earlier time today.

~8pm est Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine is a comedy series in the same vein as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon that was also an inspiration for Sailor Moon: a girl visits a shrine and is given the power to become a superheroine to protect her neighborhood.

Fantastic Adventure of Yoko is about a girl being transported to a different world after composing a love song where she must confront an evil ruler.

For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Day for Night (1973), one of the most acclaimed films of one of the most renowned auteurs of French cinema, Francois Truffaut; surprisingly, we have never watched any of his work on the ;tube. That changes tonight. This film is a comedy-drama about a stressed-out director trying to navigate various crises, both large and small, as he tries to finish his latest film. Will we succeed, or will the pressure drive him to madness? I guess we’ll find out.

After that is Weapons (2025), the new blockbuster horror feature from Zach Cregger, the guy behind Barbarian (2022), which we previously watched. All the kids in a quiet suburban town, except for one, suddenly disappear, and the grown-ups have to figure out what happened. I bet there’s some spooky stuff behind this mystery. Critics are raving about this one, and a good quality camrip just appeared, so let’s give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:

For this Optional Kino Lagniappe, we have The Time That Remains

A 2009 semi-biographical drama film, with a slight surreal feel, co-written and directed by Elia Suleiman. Based on his account of Palestinian life under the {Zionist entity}-occupied Nazareth, it covers events from 1947 prologue, the 1970s, the 1980s to the current day of 2009. It was shot with a flat space filming style reminiscent of Wes. Andersen.

Suleiman participated in the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, as his new film competed in the official selection category.[1] The Time That Remains was also screened at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] In November 2009, the film won the Jury Grand Prize (with About Elly) at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards. The film won the Critics Prize of the Argentinian Film Critics Association at Mar del Plata International Film Festival.[3]

Here’s the video that inspired me to watch it

We’ll start at 5:30 PM EST on Blorptube, right here: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine

Honestly, the only disturbing thing about this movie is that, due to this place relatively less repressed, in comparison to the West Bank or Gaza, this movie may run the risk of looking sanitized in its depiction of {Zionist entity's} repression
