This week’s #MondayActionMovie watch party on Mastodon features the classic cult action-scifi movie by John Carpenter, starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau and Harry Dean Stanton. Join us!

In a dystopian 1997, a soldier-turned-bank robber is tasked with rescuing the U.S. President after he crashes into Manhattan, which has been turned into a giant maximum security prison.

    • prepare to watch the movie itself whatever way you can/want (your own physical media, locally stored file, whichever streaming service offers it in your area)
    • everyone starts the movie when the ‘host’ posts “press play now” on Mastodon
    • participants proceed to post about it on Mastodon, including in their posts the hashtag #MondayActionMovie (and sometimes also a hashtag with the name of the movie)

    For #MondayActionMovie, the rotating ‘host’ of the party (the person who chooses the movie) often includes a streaming link in their Mastodon announcement or in the event details in the watch party calendar (go down to the calendar, scroll calendar to the relevant date, then find and click on the event name; a popup will show more info on the event. E.g. a copy of the movie on YouTube https://youtu.be/xxeDmjgSS1I )
