Seems like the best and not to mention coziest solution.
Seriously, this is what I was going to say.
#WATCH MAC AND ME ONLINE FOR FREE SOFTWARE#
You're not asking for something that streams the video over the net so that you're both watching from different locations at the same time, you're asking for a piece of software that will synchronize a video file on two computers that are on the same network. Since you're not mortal enemies sharing that network (at least, I would hope you aren't if she is your fiancee) I can't really see a practical application for this. Even in a business environment, where masses of people in a building might need to watch a video at the same time, no one bothers having it perfectly synced. If you insist on trying something like this, the best solution I can come up with is phoning one another's mobile, and counting down until you both hit the play button. Then turn on Skype (or whatever you feel like) and go from there. Still, what's wrong with being together if you both want to watch something at the same time? You'll both be watching the same file at almost the exact same second, and the video will show the expressions of the scene in front of the two of you. Thinking about it a bit more, if your internet connection was fast enough (and in a house environment, it's highly unlikely that it will be) and you were really insistent on doing this, you could RDP in to one machine and screen share. But as I said, with a bad internet connection one side is going to get one heck of a choppy video. What the heck do you want this for? As I said at the start, there is surely no practical reason that someone would create this software?ĭamn I'd LOVE to just cuddle and sit there watching the flick, but most of the time it's not possible. I want this why? I just thought that there might be a more pleasant way of combining chat AV with watching the flick.
#WATCH MAC AND ME ONLINE FOR FREE MOVIE#
I have a 27" screen, so a windowed movie is perfectly fine, although I'd much prefer full screen. On my fiancé's Macbook with 1280x800 however, the movie should be fullscreen and then guess what? AV chat should be integrated to have it float above the movie and work okay with maybe existing subtitles. Streaming is POSSIBLE as I have 10MBit/s uplink, but I'd really prefer not to have to use it, as the quality lowers and it's just not necessary at all, cause the files exist in location A and B. I know there is an application like this, I forgot it's name however and am not sure about the AV chat part.Thirty years ago this month, Steve Feke’s MAC and Me landed in theaters. From a cinematic standpoint, there is nothing notable about this event. The movie—a blatant attempt to rip off E.T. (which we recently named one of the 10 greatest summer movies of all time)—flopped at the box office and has a rare 0% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
From a historical standpoint, the reason this movie is even a blip on the radar is because it’s an example of product placement gone too far. memorably has Reese’s Pieces worked into the story, MAC and Me takes the products from the background of the story and places them prominently in the foreground. Coke, Sears and Skittles all grab the spotlight at different times. But the tipping point is a scene in the middle of the movie at McDonald’s with an appearance by Ronald McDonald himself. That brand sponsorship ( which was promoted in the movie’s advertising) along with the title of the movie (which alludes to the Big Mac) led many to think of it as a McDonald’s movie. Caryn Jame of The New York Times wrote at the time: Mac and Me‘s hyper focus on brands was not lost on viewers and reviewers when the film debuted back in 1988. “With its cardboard family and familiar aliens, ‘MAC and Me’ would seem like the generic version of ‘E. T.’ if it were not so full of brand-name commercials. Coke is the drink that revives dying aliens. A huge birthday party takes place at McDonald’s, where MAC dances around disguised in a bear suit.” Mom works at Sears, whose logo is all over the place. The lesson learned from MAC and Me is there’s a fine line between product placement and product in-your-face-ment.
Filmmakers and marketers alike need to be wise to walk that line carefully.
