Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. Upon opening this entry at all, characters will find themselves spammed with notifications and strange glitched texts until they make some sort of suggestion for a new application feature on the Retrospec app. This can range from a personalized friends list to a watermelon image gallery to a watergun charging station. It doesn't have to make sense or be useful - it just has to be a suggestion, at which point the application will return to normal.

There was that show about... what was it... like a few thousand people that were kidnapped by aliens or something?
It only followed some of them I think for obvious reasons.
But then I guess we'd have to figure out who are main characters are and that's a pain.

[alienates]

You could always apply for the role.
It'll make it a lot easier for the rest of us, specifically me, if I could just watch you run around trying to figure it all out what I sip on a figurative martini.

[potentite]

Are you kidding me?
I don't want to be the main character of this movie. Then again being the main character dramatically increases my chances to actually survive it.

[alienates]

Unless you're a tragic hero, in which case you're going to have the most heartbreaking death of all.
How sad. I'll bring tissues.

[potentite]

Hey!
Don't throw me under the bus! Being a side character like you is a terrible fate anyway!
You could be gruesomely killed.

[alienates]

If I die at all I am aiming for an off screen one where it's ambiguous regarding whether or not i actually died.

[potentite]

Are you hoping to make a comeback in the sequel?

[alienates]

I can reappear in the post credits scene.
That way, not only will be reappearance by a total surprise, but I will get to enjoy people having to sit in a sticky movie theater for an extra five minutes for a ten second scene.

[potentite]

Ugh, post credits scenes are the worst!
They don't contribute anything usually but if they do, then they should be in the movie proper.

[alienates]

It's a catch-22.
You get up and leave before the credits are over, and when you find out there's a scene at the end, you're pissed the fuck off that you missed seeing it in theaters.
But if you actually stay and it turns out to be dumb as shit, you're pissed that you stayed for it.

[potentite]

It's annoying because people are perfectly happy to spoil movies for you.
But for some reason, those 10 seconds after the credits are sacred. They'd rather rub it in your face that you missed something.
Instead of just tell you.

[alienates]

Spoilers: Because people want to make you feel like shit.

[potentite]

Well they don't HAVE to be dicks about it.
They could just share this oh so secret knowledge.

[alienates]

It's less fun for them though.
The whole point is to flaunt that they are now superior in their knowledge.
You, the dumbass who did not stay, fall down at least four steps in the food chain because you are now slightly less of a fan than they are.
And they will roast you for it so badly that a suburban mother of three with a bobbed haircut will ask to speak to the manager and for a free meal on top of it.

[potentite]

Nice metaphor.
I've always hated that attitude. Part of the goal of my videos is to make sure that viewers can learn as much about movies as possible to enjoy themselves.
Having all the details and sharing them makes movies more enjoyable.

[alienates]

I don't even care about sharing them.
It's just very fucking difficult to have a discussion on this kind of thing if the other person doesn't share the same information.

[potentite]

Well yeah!
That's what I don't really get too. I understand, from a standpoint, wanting to lord over someone with information but...
It's so much more fun to talk about the movie together.

[alienates]

It may also depend on the person though.
For example, if the person is a raging douchebag who deserves to be lorded over, then how can you, as a responsible citizen, not destroy them?

[potentite]

The only dick I would tease like that is Dirk and he probably wouldn't care enough for it to work.
Though I guess if the person had been a dick to me before about something similar, I might.
I just don't like being a dick to people.

[alienates]

Oh man, neither do I.
Being a dick is something I hate.
What kind of asshole would just go around trolling people for no good reason?
