You might have to move one or the other for the day. I don't own a TV, so I watch the DVD on my laptop and occasionally ALT-Tab back to the chat session...it's rather disruptive for the movie watching, though. I see the purpose of this as more interacting with my fellow BetterMostians, so that's OK. It's not as if we don't know the film by heart.
I plan to watch it on my laptop in a reduced size, so that I can use the same screen for chatting
at the exact same time!I do encourage everyone to make sure that chat works for you long before November 7th. You will likely need the latest version of Java installed. This is free, and good for other things besides BetterMost chat. If I can help you I will - but not during the chat. Then, I'm going to enjoy myself. So practice, move, adjust, chat, learn, now, not then!
We will be starting the movie in unison, and once started will not pause it (we learned that tip the hard way in a previous simulchat). It's fine to arrive late - when you're ready, go ahead and ask where we are in the movie, and I can give you the time code for what point we are.
Here is what I use to determine what time is when/where:
