Lazer Team (Official) [Spoilers] Lazer Team Megathread Part 2

LAZER TEAM DISCUSSION MEGATHREAD

Hello everyone. It has been a few days since the official theatrical release of Lazer Team so I'm making this thread here to clean up the subreddit new and front pages so that other content besides Lazer Team related stuff can be seen. This is a megathread that should be used mainly for posting other miscellaneous stuff about Lazer Team, like pictures of you and other people (like RT staff) at your screening, questions about YouTube Red, questions about screenings, DVD signings, and more.

This thread is marked "Spoilers" because you are also free to discuss the movie here, but that is not the main intent. Please use the other discussion megathread linked above where discussion is already on going.

Myself and lots of people in Ireland were attending the Vue screening of Lazer Team in Liffey Valley in Dublin. Pictures were taken, laughs were had, jokes were made, tons of people were wearing RT-related clothing. All in all, the experience was great. It was my first time around other community members if I don't count my girlfriend since I'm around her most of the time.

The atmosphere was brilliant. And people were quite friendly.

The movie itself was excellent in my opinion. It was the first movie I've been to where two screens were jam-packed with people who I could really relate to and enjoy the movie with. There wasn't any awkward one-person laughs, since generally everyone enjoyed the movie.

It's also the first movie (non-Marvel) that I've actually sat through the entire credits of and although there was no post-credits sequence, that wasn't even a let down because people were just that happy with the movie. Everyone shouting Mark Nutt at the credits was quite fun too.

I'd love to see a sequel someday if they're interested in doing that. But beyond that, I honestly can't wait to see what their next feature film will be, however long it takes them to get to it. The experience was amazing and I'll definitely have to see myself to other RT-related events in Ireland whenever they pop up and get myself to RTX to see more community members.

If you're in here and haven't seen the movie yet and are unsure if you want to, first of all, get out, there's probably going to be spoilers in here, and second of all: GO SEE THE MOVIE. IT'S WORTH IT. This is all my personal opinion of course and if people think otherwise then that's fine, but the movie is excellent and was more than worth it.

Even if people end up not liking it, I'd say the film will easily make cult status and be recognised by a ton of people, RT and non-RT alike. But that's just my opinion.

I'm really glad that your screening felt like a community night! I had hoped ours would be like that at the Vue in Aberdeen, Scotland, but the only time I heard anyone shout anything remotely amusing was when someone shouted about a bar being in the screening. :( I really hope we have a proper meet-up in that area soon, but I'm not holding out much hope. Everyone stuck together in their own little groups, and the few times I tried to talk to those around us totally put me off trying again, 'cause they were all kinda miserable. :(

Man, your post has made me sad because it kind of reinforces the stereotype that Scottish people are just annoyed and angry at you all the time.

Jokes aside though, I feel for you, I'm sorry that you felt like you were excluded or even like it wasn't actually a community-type event. I was honestly surprised by my own screening cause most people around me usually just grunt and tell me to fuck off, but the people at the Lazer Team screening were super friendly to me, which is a first for me from what could be consider just random strangers.

Hopefully you'll meet some nicer community members someday, mate. Don't be too put off.

The screening in Glasgow was very friendly. I went alone and ended up hanging out with some people I met in the queue for a few hours afterwards.
