Something I've been wondering about...

We are very, very tired, and very, very behind on things.

Anyway, I was reminded while watching a DVD this morning of something that's been bothering me ever since I got into fandom.  Whenever I'm watching a scene on DVD in which a sienne goes into the audience, I'd say at least a good half of the people either look straight past the Takarasienne two feet in front of them, or at least look very uninterested.

I haven't been able to figure out why this is.  My guess would be that these disinterested-looking people belong to fan clubs and do NOT want to be caught on camera smiling and looking excited over a star other than their own. 

And I suppose there's also the fact that Japanese people as a whole seem to be less animated than Americans, but I always wondered if there was some specific rule (spoken or otherwise) about how you're supposed to act on DVD filming day.

For me... I find my smile freezes into a mask of terror when they get within thirty feet of me, which means I tend to get a blank look on my face instead....
