I have not yet particpated in a watch party like these, and I am going to try this time. "The Little Shop of Horrors" one sounds like fun. You are not allowed to view links.

They don't seem to have put a ton of thought into any of it, really, which is making me sad. I know a lot of studios didn't want to participate and I'm sure their small staff worked really hard on everything, but... this year's Con @ Home seems like even more of a placeholder than last year's.
Don't get me wrong: I'm one of those die-hard fans who camps out forever to see those over-hyped marketing presentations. But when we're talking "@ Home," this is no different than getting exciting to see the new DUNE trailer that dropped this morning to just as much internet fanfare and publicity as if the same trailer would've dropped concurrently in Hall H. One thing that last year's @ Home experience 'taught' me is that after attending SD Comic-Con 20+ consecutive years, the real fun is the different people: the once-a-year friends that I hang out with downtown; the 'new' like-minded folks I meet in lines or sitting next to in panels; the bonding with my kids wandering around the Exhibit Hall; running into celebrities in the Gas Lamp. All of those semi-intangibles are what make SDCCI an incredibly fun, unique experience that can just never be duplicated completely @ Home (and can never really be tangibly explained to someone who's never attended SD Comic-Con before)

I agree, but for me that IS kind of the entire point. For instance I'll probably never get around to watching the Dune trailer, by myself, at home, even though I'll probably see the movie in theaters when it comes out. Maybe I'm a bad geek, but I don't go to Comic-Con for the tiny panels about indie productions (unless one of those is an exact specific thing I already love, but that's rare), or for fan meetups or comics. I go for the massively overhyped marketing, for the swag, for the cosplay, for the offsites where I can zipline through Gotham or take a picture riding a dragon. I go to sit in the dark with 6,000 other people all watching that trailer at the exact same time.And after a year and a half of no events, watching fan-made panels on YouTube on my couch... just isn't all that different from any other day.
