After #KungFuSat I think we'll finally try to get out to the nursery.
I'd like some more mulch to finish a new bed I am building for next season and to cover the bed by the front walk I've resumed clearing of the liriope.
We've been enjoying a lot of spring blooms, especially the massive holly hock that have topped our fence by several feet. We'd like to get some Summer annuals to keep the blooms rolling.
#WatchPartyAlert
I can't believe we haven't shown this #ShawBrothers classic before but TA DA!

Everyone welcome!
@paco hey, guess what I'm showing next Sat 5/10 on #KungFuSat?
As I update this week's #WatchPartyCalendar my #KungFuSat friends, here's a li'l #nomenclature lesson for my KFS #FilmMastodon #CineMastodon posts.
In English, to help non-Chinese understand our ambiguous names, we capitalize SURNAMES and append the Chinese first names, if we've also chosen a Western first name.
Examples:
• Andy LAU Tak Wah
• Sesame SQUIRREL Xiao Li §
• Jet LI Lian Jie
• CHOW Yun Fat
FYI : Squirrel = 松鼠 = Sōngshǔ
so -- Sesame SONGSHU Xiao Li
§ Xiao Li is my name IRL
I don't think swords are supposed to bend like that
If I knew death was coming, I think I would run. I don't think I would prepare for it
Are we gearing up for a final fight?
This movie rules
This is why we can't have tables
Stilt fu!!!!!
Nobody told me dudes were going to be riding other dudes like a surfboard

My half-baked idea for a #Comedon online watch party inspired by #Monsterdon has gotten a lot of positive response and people have been liking the idea of watching Duck Soup.
There was one reply that Duck Soup has humor that might be problematic. For sure, but that's always going to be true of historical media, and perhaps especially with humor. And the joy of the Marx Brothers is they make fun of everybody. I'd hope people can both enjoy the funny, and also feel free to use the hashtag to point out things that make them go "hmm."
I'm still a bit reluctant to take on a long-term organizer role but let's make this thing happen by picking a time to watch Duck Soup. I don't think it should compete with #Monsterdon or #KungFuSat (which I just learned about) but I'm inclined not to it on Fridays so that means looking at weekday evenings. And I'm on the west coast of North America so my evening may not be your evening.
Unless someone can make a compelling case not to, let's watch the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup on
*Thursday February 13 at 18:00 (6:00PM) Pacific Time/GMT+8*
If this is a lousy time for you (Hello Europe!) feel free to use the hashtag to set up another viewing.
Here's one free place to watch Duck Soup:

THE LAST DUEL (1981)
aka DARK SKINNED ASSASSIN, aka HERO VS. HERO - per the 4 poster pics below
Saturday, 12/21/24 - 12pm Noon ET
Everyone welcome!
The synopsis sounds deliriously deranged (or normal -- if you watch these things regularly, like us):
Death Villa is run by a mysterious man who wears a cane basket on his head, with a bead curtain covering his face. He recruits Lu into his evil scheme....
If I decide to become a martial artist, I’m going to start by mastering the preliminary stare-down phase. If that goes well, I’ll continue with the fight training. #KungFuSat
