I was also hit pretty hard by the turkey today, and that video didn't help keep me awake, it had a kind of lulling effect. ^_^

I'll bet there are many more, considering home video is now being mixed for soundbars and portable devices. "The mixes are a good compromise for the various playback devices now encountered"- yeah right! ;)

Only a geek would say this, but that is a thing of beauty.

I liked the spelling of "Prevues". I had forgotten about that.

That 70mm blow up of Gone With The Wind was one of my earliest cinema memories. Mom and Dad took me and my brother and sister to see it. I was about 6 at the time, but remember thinking Scarlett's scene right before the Intermission was the end of the film. :) Boy, Mom, that sure was a long movie.

I've followed the Dolby sound formats since the beginning, and remember when Dolby SR-Digital soundtracks first appeared I was blown away - I think the first I saw was Bram Stoker's Dracula - so its interesting you mentioned that format. We had one particular cinema in my area that stayed a one...

Don, how would you compare the soundtracks you hear on your film prints versus the home video versions on Laserdisc, DVD and Blu-ray? Any huge differences, especially when comparing to the "original" mixes on LD/DVD/ and some BD? Since you have the capability to hear these different tracks...

After watching this, I had an overwhelming urge to get up and leave to go outside and hail a taxi.

Awesome Don. Great presentation. The curtains greatly enhance the experience. :)

Try it on a double bill with "Taylor Mead's Ass"*. :laugh: *one of many Warhol "experimental" films.

That is a good one. I saw it back around 1970 at my second run neighborhood theater.

I was just checking the local stores this weekend, and they have this! I just need to order the Flavanol Salt - thanks!

Always a good look in my opinion. I found it interesting when I was shopping for a plasma panel years ago that they share the same basic technology with neon.

Tell us more about the neon. I haven't seen too much of it in HTs.

Never got real serious about it, but you guys got me hungry for some proper corn! :D It's Flavacol salt though, right?

I heard grape seed oil was the best for pop corn machines (I've never used it), but do you recommend coconut oil?

I took another look at it again tonight and my opinion remains that it looks like it was shot for television on video. Grainless and smooth as a baby's bottom. I understand what you mean about worn old film prints, I've seen many. The Blu-ray is devoid of any texture that you'd expect from film...

There has been a lot of bad comments made about The Longest Day Blu-ray. Since you had owned a print of the film, it was a little startling to see your comment after reading all the negativity about the Blu-ray for the past few years. Most of the comments have been comparisons to the first...

Do you have a print of this? :)

Most of them have a TV as the display, and that is the lingo of the manufacturers. I am finally planning a projector and screen with constant image height - probably 2.35:1 ish - not sure yet. What is your screen shape and size? Do you ever project at 2.20:1? Any problems on screen shape that...

Yes, I've read all of their literature, HAHA :) . It is especially more expensive and difficult to do it in an existing standard room. I am facing such a task, but I'll be happy with just getting all the rattles out.

This is the truest home cinema I've seen on this site. You have the ability to make every aspect of the presentaion just like a commercial cinema. The THX appproved components are icing on the cake.

Don, nice setup and an excellent job. A question though, I notice you don't have any sound absorbing material around your speakers or on the back and side walls. How has your sound measured, any suckouts due to Allison Effect, since your boundaries are hard? I'm asking because I am planning out...
