Get that authentic "cinema experience" on your Mac

I gotta try this with my friend today.

SWEET
I've always wanted to do a MST3K

I'd have to feature request a fast moving red laser pen dot on the screen during the film. Add to that some kind of seat feedback that simulates some kid kicking the back of my chair. Then litter a little popcorn on the floor ( which is already sticky from the coke suggested by the guy above )

And that was the "Cinema experience" I paid for to see X-Men 3. Overall I kinda wish I'd just pirated it and put up with bad audio and the occasional person getting up for the toilet.

I think another feature should be a direct web connection to an MPAA PayPal account that deducts 9.50 from your as soon as you start watching a film.

Plus special cameo appearances by the MPAA's Jack Valenti (me) wandering the aisles with a flashlight, searching for tapers.

Beyond the mst3k stuff, it is really only a chat interface, for communal comment on a shared experience, that is, watching a streaming video... in real time, so you know what is being commented upon, and whatever comic timing jollies or attention span massages that allows.

I'm surprised no-one is up in arms about the communal viewing and streaming of copyrighted works aspect of this venture.

You can make up for alot of the missing features by dumping some Coke on the floor of your apartment and letting it get really sticky.

What Lush said. FWIW, there's a Widget that you can get @ Apple, I think it's called "imst3k", that will put a Mike & the bots silhouette at the bottom of dashboard.

My vote is for a "opening night plug-in", where fully 75% of the audience is on their cell phones describing the movie to friends, snapping pics, or recording scenes. I miss my old home in New Orleans but, damn, it's nice to go see a movie in a small down multiplex where this isn't happening.

so its like quicktime/frontrow but really really annoying, sounds great lol

Looks like they're mimicking the MST3K experience in particular.
