it has a metal frame that you screw to the wall .. it has snaps on it and the screen snaps to the frame ... so you need a dedicated wall .. and that has to be about 6' X 10'
they got rid of it at work .. the thing's worth a fortune - really great material ... but i'll never be able to use it ..

i have an 8' pull-down .. got it for free when the place i work upgraded to an automatic model ..


by the way .. the great race - disk 2 - was in the machine when the laserdisc player i just spent $400 on died.

i'll extract it and switch to a working player ..

i'm not happy.. :(

6 X 10 is a bit too much....sucks about your new machine...its still under the warranty i imagine.






the great race......DAMN........don't hold it against me;)

its not under warrenty but it was just professionally fixed for the same problem so it's getting fixed again for free ,,,

it'll be interesting to see if you notice a difference in quality between the 1st disc and the 2nd ..

the fixed wall bit sucks too ... it's better to get a pull-down - that way you still have the wall to put stuff ...


the screen was custom built for the place i worked - they had a few of them on a huge wall where work related info was projected.

you should have seen the projectors .. they were the size of jet skis - i'm not kidding. i could have gotten one of those too but where the hell was i going to put it ? it would have torn down the ceiling ..

newb 06-05-2005 07:36 PM

I plan on getting a pull down. Just gonna use it for concerts and movies. I still have a fine 36 inch Sony Wega for T.V.

Not to mention the other 5 T.V.s scattered around the house.

one thing to consider ... although it may not matter to you ..

is that my screen pulls down in front of all of my audio-visual stuff .. so it blocks my remote ..

dont know if you'll be in the same position but it's something to consider

Now I am surprised you didn't grab one of those. You could have put on an addition.:D

screw that ... imagine getting the bastard home (with the help of 4 - 5 friends) and the thing doesnt work, or lasts for 2 weeks ..

i wasnt kidding - i could sit on it like a snow mobile..

it was the same model they used to use in arenas to project stuff before they had those giant tv screens (or composite screens)

i know it's sacrelidge to say here - but i hate popcorn..


re the screen - until you can get the exact one you want ..

i used to use the back of an old school map ..

if you know someone who teaches or works in a school - ask around ... sometimes they change these things out and just dump them ..

newb 06-05-2005 07:52 PM

Actuall, my son works at a Blockbuster Video store and he gets some BIG ASS posters. I was thinking of using the back of one of these until i get a proper screen.



not too big on popcorn myself.....it gets stuck in the back of my throat....very annoying....more of a peanut kinda guy.

no - its called Chopping Mall here too ..

tic 06-11-2005 05:02 AM

most recent (and yet to be watched):

Buried Alive - Edgar Allen Poe
Cutting Moments
Leprechaun in the hood
Popcorn

All came in twin DVD sets for £1.00 each, ie each film actually cost 50p.

Not sure about any of them, though. Get the impression they are all B movies, but od have well known stars

- Donald Pleasance, Robert Vaughn, Dee Wallace Stone.

Out of all, 4 Popcorn may be the best - psycho in a theatre, kills his family 15 years later starts again.

i had a small breakdown last night but i only bought 2 things - which shows restraint for me ..

- Lost in Space - season 2 - box 1 got this for a steal - its worth a fortune new. very cool seeing these again since the last time was when they were origionally on the air.

- the house of exorcism - Mario Bava

"Double Tap" - Excellent Hong Kong action thriller with a top notch turn by the late Leslie Cheung and some bloody and well crafted shoot outs.

"Rich and Famous" - Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau. Far more a drama than a Heroic Bloodshed film and rather dull in parts, works best if seen as the first part of it's VASTLY superior sequel. Talking of which......

"Tragic Hero" - superb sequel to "Rich and Famous" that ups the action and violence and features a classic Heroic Bloodshed finale that oozes Hong Kong coolness.

"The Sons of Katie Elder" - Top John Wayne flick with Dean Martin.

"The Shootist" - Wonderful and emotionally powerful ending to Wayne's career that's also a warm tribute.

"The Alamo" - Overblown and over long but it's still a lot better than many people say. Could have done with a longer action finale but all in all John Wayne does okay both in front and behind the camera with a good cast in support.

"True Grit" - More Wayne goodness with a top support cast, but not as great as it's reputation.

"El Dorado" - Classic semi-remake of "Rio Bravo" that ups the comedy.

"Rio Lobo" - Vastly underrated Wayne flick that's bags of fun.

"The Comancheros" - Some good humour but lacks action. Wayne is always watchable though.

"The Crazies" - Excellent presentation of an excellent george Romero film that deserves far more respect!

"Two Mules for Sister Sara" - Pretty damn good, if laid back, Eastwood Western with a good dose of comedy and a very violent finale.

"Death Hunt" - Wonderful (and violent) semi truthful re-telling of the Canadian 'Mad Trapper' that mixes fact, legend and fiction brilliantly. Bronson and Lee Marvin in top form!

"Under Siege" - Uncut version of this fun action fest. Shame Stevie Seagul is the star though!

Triple pack of "The Longest Day"/"Patton"/"Tora! Tora! Tora!"

"The Blue Max" - Long but fast moving WWI film with some great dogfights, a good cast and some epic visuals.

"Battle of Britain" - Amazing (if often very, very underused) cast and some excellent dog fight set-ups. Not bad at all.

"Resident Evil" - Pretty lacklustre and far too bloodless, but works well with it's superior sequel. Talking of which.........

"Resident Evil: Apocalypse" - far more action, far more zombie funstuffs (though still a lack of gore) and all in all worthy popcorn fun that actually feels far more like the game than part 1 did.

"Dead Birds" - Civil War haunted house/horror flick. Looks cool and different.

"Creep" - Brit horror set in the little used but alwats effective London Underground. Looking forward to checking it out.

"South Park", seasons 1 - 4

"The Hillside Strangler" (unrated) - It's meant to be nasty and exploitative. So it better had be!! LOL!

"Rocky 1 - 3"

CAT III goodness thanks to the sale at DDDHouse, all these for £7 inc postage from Hong Kong.......
"Run and kill" - Simon Yam classic.
"Naked Poison"
"Brother of Darkness"
"Daughter of Darkness" - Anthony 'Mr Sleazy' Wong.
