Gah, I thought it was well written and I wish you'd left it :)

LOL. I could PM you a copy. ;)

We host movie night parties with our friends that are always a good time. We did obscure science fiction movie night one time, martial arts night another. Before the avengers we did a re-watching of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, etc.

Just don't do a LOTR extended edition marathon. Been there, done that... Even with breaks to swap discs, between movies, for food, etc, it is TOO much sitting engulfed in the world of hobbits, elfs, and dwarfs... And I love those movies.

Too late, we totally did that (over the course of a 3-day weekend) :)

I've really got to go do some actual work on my HT today rather than mess about reading stuff here, but a final comment on projectors, PB Jim made a comment earlier about projectors being the best the 90's had to offer which made me think about the rapid progression of the technology in general. 1080P has only just been around at an affordable price for a few years and already 4K technology is in the high end of the market. The projector scene will only get better over the next few years. Many commercial theatres themselves are equipped with both 4K units and traditional 35mm projection systems, the filter down into the home market is assured. Projectors need a dark room for the best results, yes you can use them in a lit room but its a compromise. If you're tending toward a multipurpose usage in a lit room I'd still consider the largest TV unit you can afford. It's not a theatre like experience, but then it depends on what you're aiming for.

Well, the "I have to see this now" factor is strong. We saw the Avengers in the theater, we'll see the next Batman in the theater. But we are waiting to see the new Spiderman when it comes out on blu-ray... I'd say we see about 1/3rd of the movies in the theater that we used to once we got the home setup. There are some movies though that we just wouldn't wait for.
