Show/Tell us about your Movie Get-togethers!

[FREYMAX 3D]

My dedicated projection theater room is located in the basement of my home, and encompasses pretty much the entire finished area. The room is L-shaped, and is about 25 feet deep on the theater side of the room, and about 32 feet deep on the snack bar side. I just recently finished reconstruction of the entire theater room, after it flooded during Tropical Storm Lee back in September 2011. It is not at all a luxury theater room like some of those I see in the Community pages; I designed and constructed the room and most of its furnishings myself, over the last 5 years - so it definitely has a do-it-yourself feel to the room. But, at least it is a large enough room so I can have permanent seating for 7 guests - and there is enough space to seat up to 10 people with a few extra, strategically placed chairs...



Last night I hosted one of my regularly-scheduled Monthly Movie Nights, which are always held on the first Thursday and Saturday of each month. In the week preceding each Movie Nights, friends and family will check the Frey Theater website at http://freytheater.com to see what upcoming movie will be playing. I try to update the movie information each month, at least a week or two out, but I will admit it doesn't always get done in a timely fashion, lol...

So last night's Monthly Movie showing was 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure' in 3D, and there was 7 of us in attendance. I had reservations for 11 people, but two were no-shows due to illness, and another two change their night to Saturday at the last minute. So now I have 10 people scheduled for Saturday nights showing - a full house! I only own 9 pair of shutter glasses for my Epson 5010 3D projector, but a friend of mine who lives just a few blocks away and attended last night's showing owns the same projector, so I had him bring a few extra pairs of glasses along with him, just in case...

So I only took a few photos last night during the intermission between discs 1 & 2... Here's two pics I took in the snack bar area, in the rear part of the theater room...






And here is an older photo of some of my guests enjoying John Carter 3D, during the movie itself!



OK - So lets see what photos some of the rest of you have - entertain us!!

I do monthly screenings for a non-profit arts group I am on the Board of Directors of. The group is called Animation Creative League. You can find us on Facebook. We usually have around 15 people, but we've had as many as 30 packed in on folding chairs. Sometimes we have guest speakers... the Disney animator Eric Goldberg came and gave us a lecture and screening on Warner Bros cartoons and George Clayton Johnson one of the writers on Star Trek and Twilight Zone gave us a talk on screenwriting. This month we're screening the silent feature, Wings.

Great idea Frey. Of course my theater only has one seat so I Have nothing to contribute.

I like the idea of us sharing our enjoyment of the hobby we love.

Well, I think it's a wonderful idea and I hope it takes off. If people don't want their pic taken or posted publicly they won't and shouldn't be posted, but I think you know that anyway, so this is a non-issue.

As you know, there are 4 of us from here who have Audio GTG's several times a year and we usually post pics, because we want to and because we've been asked to do so by other members. People love seeing those types of pics and read about the events of that day. In fact, we're having another GTG at my place in a few weeks.

Good luck with your thread FREYMAX3D and folks....lets get them pictures up!

Thanks, JV!

Anyway, tonight I'll be hosting my 2nd of two Monthly Movie Night showings of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure' in 3D, and I am expecting 10 people tonight - so I'll definitely have to take a few pics with the large crowd wearin' shutter glasses, lol...

Any one else have even some past photos of one of your get-togethers, post them up and tell us about it!
