I've seen the "Lord" - in glorious widescreen
This is definitely going to sound trite considering the tone of my last several posts, but I have just experienced something I have to share...
The "Movie Theater Experience" in my own living room.
I'm borrowing the digital projector of a friend, have a huge white muslin sheet draped in front of the "OLD" TV, and have just watched the first half hour of "Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring."
Wow. I can't even turn it up because the kids are sleeping, and it is still just an amazing experience. The light reflecting off the screen, instead of being forced through it... the hum of the projector "somewhere" in the background... being able to pause the movie to urinate... priceless.
Whatever else I may be in life, I am a movie buff. I may forget the plots of most of the movies I watch (which just means I watch them with fresh eyes every time), but movies are a humongous part of my life, and my life with my wife. I'd say we watch at least one movie just about every day of our lives. Well... maybe that's a slight exaggeration...
I will never watch a movie on my "OLD" TV in the same way again. Everything I watch will be compared to how Peter Jackson's masterpiece looked, flying through tiny particles of light across my living room and onto that giant sheet.

BTW...welcome to "heaven."
How long will you have the screen? Are we going to be able to see it? Can me and Kady come over to watch Barbershop 2 on the screen? PLEASE SAY YES!
