Audinece participation, you're doing it right

Hey everyone, since I don't have anything to do this weekend, and because I'm interested in it, I went to a meeting of "Anime Addicts," where we get together and watch anime. We watched Shakugan no Shana and .hack//BEYOND THE WORLD. I doubt that either of them was downloaded leagally since the subtitles on .hack had bad grammer and the translation of the subtitles for the English parts, where it was origionally in English so they had Japaneese subtitles that were then translated into English and they came from the same place, but that's the topic of a rant, not an experience. This is about the fun I had.

Normally the meetings are in the Chem building since they have lots of seets and have 2 screens to stream off of a computer. Unfortunately the leaders didn't do proper planning so we were locked out of our room. After we made the treck over to the student organizations section of the student union, we set up in the conference room, which probably has a maximum occupency of 12 but we crammed 20 people in there. There was some things about us getting the connections right so we could stream from the computer to the big TV in the room.

Now for where the title of this post comes into play. Since this is a group of young adult anime fans, there's gonna be some "audience participation." When there's a plot hole or just something to make fun of, someone will make a joke and hopefully get a laugh. When it gets good,then we all shut up and pay atention. Since the .hack movie we watched was kind of bad, there was lots of making fun of. Lots of jokes. It was great fun. Even Shukagan had some fun things to make fun of. And there was also some hypothetical what ifs that added to the fun while watching Shukagan.

Rocky Horror fans, take note, ANY SUB-PAR MOVIE IS FUN TO MAKE FUN OF WITH FRIENDS! Any movie can have funny things said at the right moment, and if it's all spur of the moment, it's alwayse different. You don't need a soft gay porno to have that kind of fun. If you roll that way, that's cool, but I don't want to see that, so stop saying it's such a great thing. These movies could have probably been good if they didn't have the fun of comentary with friends, but because of the comments, it was super fun. Hey guys, maybe you shoud get some of your friends together, get a bad movie, watch it together and make fun of it. You might find it super fun. A bad movie that is made fun by friends comments, at the end of the day is still a bad movie.

As much fun as this was, I don't think I'll be able to go to more meetings. The meetings go on for hours on Saturday. Why, because we watch anime at them, and those take time. I spent the bulk of my Saturday with them, and that's something I can't do on a regular basis because I'm an engineering student. Since it's the first week, we didn't learn much so there's not much to homework to assign. Once the year goes on, probably within the next week, the work load will pial up, and last year my Saturday days were prety well booked. Now I know one of my friends who loves Rocky Horror might be reading this. DarkenOptomist I don't have anything against you, just don't like Rocky Horror. Well this has been Pokematic signing off and bu-bye.
