Is it possible to talk to your mates while watching a bd live blu ray? (like - can you host a blu ray viewing/party??)

Supposedly you can chat with a keyboard but I don't know if it's done the same way as Warner did they're BD-Live event or not. If so, the chatting (submitting questions) was actually done from the computer and not through the player. Anyway, haven't heard anything about voice over BD-Live but it seems like that would be better than having to type.

Edit: To clarify, the questions were submitted through the computer but would show up on the movie.

Disney has "Movie Chat"... looks like a instant messenger text chat though:

Don't see voice chat though.

Guess I'm spoiled... I use a computer for BD playback(on the laptop screens or my HDTV).
Skype is just a click away.

cool.. i just think it would be sweet to watch a movie and discuss it with a mate while watching. BD Live should accommodate!
