northernlightsI’m still new to it, personally I go to ‘trending’ and follow people I notice because they posted a couple interesting things recently. That choice can be very personal. For instance my 3 favorites right now are George Takei, Hitchiker’s Guide Quote Bot, and Coffee date with ADHD - to each their own :)
Every week we have a “monsterdon” watch party where we all watch the same movie at the same time and comment on it under #monsterdon.
Here’s more info on the movie we’re watching today: https://lemmy.ca/post/61058449
There are various other watch parties too, see a calendar here: https://livetweety.wordpress.com/
Hercules (1983) - Mastodon watch party this Sunday evening! - Lemmy.ca
Lou Ferrigno, “the Original TV Hulk”, is the star of Hercules (1983) which is the movie for this Sunday’s “monsterdon [https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon]” watch party over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling! - Just start watching that movie this Sunday, March 1 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT / 6pm PT which is 2am Monday UTC - and follow #monsterdon over on mastodon for live text commentary. For example, you can follow that hashtag here: https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon [https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon] - I usually open two web browser windows side-by-side on a computer. But you could follow the mastodon commentary on a phone app while watching the movie on TV or something. How to watch the movie: - tubi (availability varies by country): https://tubitv.com/movies/466219/hercules [https://tubitv.com/movies/466219/hercules] - uBlock Origin adblocker on Firefox should work for that tubi link - archive: https://archive.org/details/hercules.-1983 [https://archive.org/details/hercules.-1983] - archive: https://archive.org/details/hercules-1983 [https://archive.org/details/hercules-1983] - archive: https://archive.org/details/bxNDdFpqwCon [https://archive.org/details/bxNDdFpqwCon] - archive: https://archive.org/details/hercules.1983 [https://archive.org/details/hercules.1983] - it’s usually streamed on https://miru.miyaku.media/ [https://miru.miyaku.media/] at that time - if you want to pay and/or watch ads, look here: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/hercules-1983 [https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/hercules-1983] > …loosely based on Greek mythology, plus elements of Cozzi’s earlier science fiction opus Starcrash.[5] It received mostly negative reviews, but was a modest financial success. > > … > > Hercules received largely negative reviews from critics, with many finding that it failed to live up to both contemporary and older inspirations. Michele Anselmi of Italian daily l’Unità derided “a revival that borders on the ridiculous” and penned his review in the form of a letter to Hercules, urging him to retire from film.[67] Kansas City Star critic Robert C. Trussell called it even less satisfying than “low-budget Italian-made mythological epics of two decades ago”.[68] Marylynn Uricchio of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called it “even worse than the Steve Reeves version from the '50s”.[69] Variety said that “somehow, this isn’t the Hercules children of the 1950s and 1960s knew and loved.”[70] > > … > > Francesco Mininnin of Magazine italiano TV found that “Cozzi tries to rekindle the success of the mythological genre […] But the era of musclemen is gone, and Lou Ferrigno really is not a worthy actor.”[77] In his Movie Guide, Leonard Maltin called the movie “silly” and “special-effects-laden”, but mentioned that Ferrigno “is undeniably well cast”.[80] Writing for AllMovie, Eleanor Mannikka summed it up as a “difficult challenge to conquer”,[81] and her colleague Jeremy Wheeler wrote: “Completely surreal and immensely cheesy, Luigi Cozzi’s first Hercules film is an effort in excess [that picks ups] where his amazing Starcrash left off.”[82] In his book Epic Films, Gary Allen Smith remarked that “the production design is imaginative, considering the limitations of the budget, but the visuals are often marred by poor quality of the special effects.” He also found that Ferrigno made for a “thoroughly convincing Hercules”.[15] In 2014, Decider named Ferrigno the tenth “hottest onscreen Hercules ever”.[83] When Starburst re-reviewed the film in 2016, Andrew Husk deemed that “this film does have some appeal. As with all cult movies, they are for a very specific audience. […] It is a fun adventure film, by the poor dialogue and awful characters making it more of a comedy than a serious fantasy film.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_(1983_film) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_(1983_film)]
Luminous5481 "Lawless Heathen" [they/them]keep in mind you don’t need to go looking for people to follow on Mastodon. it’s often easier to follow hashtags instead, and you’ll find people to follow pretty easily after that. if you want memes, then a good place to start is obviously #memes. same goes for any other topic.
Follow hashtags of topics that interest you and follow people on there you like after looking at their profile then follow people they boost that you like and slowly get follows that way is how i would recommend.
