I like good movies and good friends.
In that vein, about once a month, I like to host a gathering at home
for close friends to enjoy a good film.
I take great care to ensure that the films are shown in the best manner
possible:
- The films are displayed on a data-grade CRT projector, providing
excellent color fidelity and superior black levels.
- The projector is run at 72fps to provide for smooth playback of
24fps film content.
- The image is projected onto a 10-foot diagonal screen.
- We have an audio system with 5.1 Dolby Digital and dts support,
with excellent speakers.
- The event playlist and video playback are handled by a
custom-built home theater PC.
- The source material is the best available (usually DVD), and may
be processed to improve quality.
- When appropriate, the director's cut of the film is presented.
- Foreign-language films are shown with subtitles, and their
original language audio.
- I always include some trailers and an animated short before the
feature. But no commercials.
- Full-length features include an intermission.
