Author Topic: Film-Tech Screening Room (current) pics Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2010 12:34 PM                        Now only if we could get a superbowl sub-chat going on in here as well, Brad would be certainly pleased.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2010 12:44 PM                     I am proud to say the Super Bowl was NOT ran in the screening room. I don't even know what teams played or who won, nor do I care. How's that for un-American?  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-08-2010 01:03 PM                     You video game guys are totally missing the point:  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 02-08-2010 02:40 PM                     If it's un-American, then I guess I am as well. Seems to be tradition for me to go camping super bowl weekend, then sleep thru the game.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Wii Bowling on the BIG screen is a HIT! It looks great, sounds great, and operates great! The "kids" are having a blast and I think it is a really cool way to promote a showing of a "cult classic" film!  |  IP: Logged Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 02-09-2010 09:05 PM                        The first time I witnessed a Wii in action, it was on-screen where I work. Working fine, and the folks that rented the place that morning had a blast. I was a little jealous. Still am, in a way. I have yet to play any video games on the big screen. $5 is cheap enough for a game download, but I'm not inclined to drop a bunch of $$$ for a PS3. I've been a Nintendo fan for a long time, and own working NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube consoles. I share a Wii with my siblings. Lots of great titles are available to download to that system. ....... What's up with that Pac-Man game in the screening room? Only one ghost, pellets missing but no score!  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 02-09-2010 10:59 PM                     You mean to tell me that the pac-man screen might be fake?! Oh the humanity!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-09-2010 11:15 PM                        It's the Atari 2600 Pac-Man. The arcade version has a 3:4 ratio and Brad's screening room cannot do 3:4.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-09-2010 11:33 PM                     Actually, yes it can.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-10-2010 12:21 AM                        Oh yeah? Prove it!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-10-2010 06:45 AM                     And is it THX WOW SPL certified with the plaque and everything...like Joe's screening room? Steve  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-10-2010 09:49 AM                     Nope Steve... you're missing the whole point of Brad building this room. Its now NWVB Certified at Mach 2. The NWVB is the "National Wind Velocity Board".  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-10-2010 12:26 PM                     The side masking pulls in way farther than it needs to and the lower masking can go way higher than it needs to as well. 3:4 is easily achieved.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-10-2010 01:09 PM                        Then I don't see why you guys resorted to playing 4:3 Atari 2600 Pac-Man when you could have hooked up the arcade machine and played 3:4 Pac-Man. Maybe it's because the digital video projector can't rotate the image 90 degrees? And don't try to tell me that picture is Photoshopped because I know you play games and watch Superbowls on it every day.  |  IP: Logged
