UPDATE: We can determine a time and date in the thread. 🧵

UPDATE 2: Grab your DVD copies or cue up the streaming service of choice, we're going to play the movie on Sunday afternoon at 4 PM EST. The hashtag is:

Something else?
4.3%
Poll ended at .

Alright everybody, it looks like the poll has landed on Sunday afternoon.

To give people plenty of time to eat something, go to the bathroom, etc before Monsterdon starts at 9 PM Eastern in my TZ, how bout 4 PM Eastern?

@darrenmorin EST or EDT? I'm in SK and we don't change our clocks, we're GMT -06:00 all year round. Currently 2 hours earlier than Toronto.
@sbjornda Eastern Standard Time.
@darrenmorin I'm curious. What part of the world currently observes that time? I Thought you had all switched to Daylight Savings Time by now? I thought I knew of all the places in North America that stopped switching time twice a year, and none of them were in the Eastern zone.
@sbjornda I'm in Eastern Ontario. They've spoken about switching us to DST or whatever for years but for some reason I think NY state is the hold-up.
@darrenmorin yes. Can’t this Saturday, but yes
@GetzlerChem So far Sunday afternoon is leading in the poll.

Welcome everybody.

5 minutes 'til showtime. I've already got the MGM lion yawning on the screen.

I hope we can all enjoy the film, share memories and chat.

Oh, he's so small. #PrincessBrideWatch
Cary says the most quoted line he gets from fans of the film is "As you wish." #PrincessBrideWatch
"Life is pain your highness. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something." #PrincessBrideWatch
@darrenmorin sadly I'm working today so I can't watch along.
@TheMNWolf I'm sorry you weren't able to join.
@darrenmorin hell yeah. At solar graduation now, I'll be home in about an hour or so
@darrenmorin Maybe a hashtag like #GroupWatchPrincessBride (yes I know that's long and convoluted!)
@nomdeb Good idea, should've done that in the first place.

@darrenmorin
Following the hashtag.

Have the DVD.

@skua Same here I just grabbed the DVD copy I had on the shelf
@darrenmorin One for your movie club, @penguat ?
@denny @[email protected] Princess bride is too good for the bad movie club 😅

@darrenmorin

@SesameSquirrel you could probably add this to the watch party calendar

#WatchPartyAlert

@greenpepper22 @darrenmorin sure -- just let me know when and what the hashtag will be
@darrenmorin I just read about his death on Wikipedia. :( Just read the book as well.
