With LOTS of gravy, gotta have the gravy. If I can't have at least a
quart of gravy then I don't want to go to the movies.

I like the concept of popcorn. But movie popcorn never tastes good. I can
make it better at home.

We have a theater here for 21 and over that serves dinner and drinks. The
menu looks nice but I've never been. I don't go to the movies often and
when I do go it is to take my daughter. I personally think they are a waste
of money. Most if not all movies eventually come onto TV. Unless it is
something I am just busting to see (and that would be rare) I just wait.

I like mooie popcorn. With lots of butter, and lots of ketchup
seasoning.

Some movies are just much better on the big screen.

I've seen no "big screen" that is anywhere close to as good as my new
55" HDTV. And I can have any snacks I want from my kitchen, even a
full meal, just by clicking the pause button... and I don't have to
miss anything or disturb people when I gotta pee.

Those few remaining "Movie Palaces" are stunning. But while i recently
saw "Funny Girl" at one, visually stunning, absolutely hugh screen and 3
big balconies, i wouldn't go see Peckenpaugh's "Straw Dogs" there

Or anywhere else for that matter

But while i don't really think of food at a movie there's a live theatre
in SF that one can get drinks and food during the performance from the
Irish pub next door A chilled pint of Guinness and a plate of
kollcanon with out the mockery

They only ever put on one show but once or twice a year can be fun and
topical.

Google "Beach Blanket Babylon" if your going to be in SF.

It was an "action" film with Mark Vincent and his +-20 000 leading ladies.
Saw it myself, second-run. Piece of crap, actually; really should have
waited until it came out on tape and borrowed it from a friend. Oh well.

Have you ever tried the old hand-job trick of sticking yer pecker up
through the bottom of the popcorn tub?

Just make sure the room is acoustically treated, good, sound, good
lighting.
Thx certified.

I would probably in some position on a couch.

The new HDTVs have great surround sound even without separate surround
sound speakers. And they don't need any special lighting, they sense
the ambient light and automatically adjust. I couldn't use a larger
screen in my bedroom:

Sheldon,

DANG! Nice HDTV!!!

Sc reen size?

Is it on wheels so you can roll it out of the way that does not block your
property view when not in use! That or bolt it to a dolly

This one, however I ended up buying it from Sam's Club:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Vizio-XVT553SV/13904846

>Is it on wheels so you can roll it out of the way that does not block your

I never thought of placing the stand on wheels. It's a hardwood floor
so if need be I can move it myself, but I've no reason to. It's the
same stand I used for my last TV, A 36" Sony CRT... but the Sony
weighed 207 pounds, this one weihgs like 90 pounds, in comparison this
one is a feather. I never gave much thought to the view from my
bedroom window, as you can see in the picture there is nothing much
out there but woods and the majority of time I spend in that room is
when it's pitch black out... I guess I can count cars as the
headlights pass... it's not a very busy road, maybe 20-30 vehicles
pass the entire night. The last people had heavy draperies at each
window but all I use are shades, and only close them if the sun
streaming in bothers me... that side of my house faces north so sun
never streams in. The only time I'd watch TV from my bed during the
day would be if I were sick. I have a 26" HDTV Vizio in my office...
I watch that one during the day. I have no reason (or desire) to ever
go to a theater again. Last night I watched the Froch-Ward match,
wasn't a memorable fight but was wonderful watching it in HD on that
huge screen.

I don't have room for an HDTV that size in the kitchen OR the bedroom
(recessed library shelves) between fixed cabinets where the CRT sits. A
Stanley tape measuring needs to be conducted.

Best,

Andy
