It's going to be a busy weekend that looks to be trouble but I'll manage. I'm off to go do more errands (I've been at it since 5:15 am...currently 3:05pm here...already drove 7 hours today). Have a good weekend buddy.

You too,Sean,my Friend.
Take some time and rest from driving. And enjoy a Great Weekend.

CONGRATS ON THE SCREEN TODD! It looks good! Can't wait to see the screenshots!

[progers13]

Tals, I'm very happy for you buddy. You're really making me want to pull the trigger on getting a projector and screen much, much sooner than I anticipated!

The pics look great! You're going to love Transformers ROTF on that screen.

I also didn't realize your room is 10' x 10'. You've really done well on maximizing your space and making the best use of it.

Congrats, my friend. I'll be checking back for updates throughout the weekend.

Fantastic Todd!

Just walked in the door and the first thing I did was turn on my computer, go to Blu-ray.com and check your thread. So great that you've got it all up and ready to go for some serious "Movie Time". The shots look terrific and it looks solid as well. Also real glad that you decided to take Aero up on his offer for a 2nd. sub....that room should be rocking now!

You know Todd, I don't know who's been more excited....you or everyone else? LOL! I know I'm really happy to see it finally come into fruition...well deserved.

Get a good rest tonight, and we'll catch up with you in the wee hours tomorrow! Then you best get busy again with screen shots. Haha! Whatever you do...sit back and relax...watch Transformers and enjoy all of the hard work you've put into it. Congrats buddy!

My wife and I played hookey from work today so I was not online really at all. We had a nice lunch at PF Changs and then did some shopping (for her Nothing for me today).

Anyway, I was anxiously waiting to see your thread. I'm very systematic, so I did not go straight to yours, but had to go through my typical ritual of starting at the top (PM's) and then working my way down the page. Once in a thread, I work my way up. I know I'm weird. I have tons of these little tics about me. Some annoy the crap out of others.

Anyway, glad to see the screen is up and that you are fortunate enough to have a sub offered to you. That's totally awesome!

Well, get some good rest so you can enjoy the movies tomorrow and Sunday!

Todd,

Congrats on the screen, you must be so glad to have it up.

I got some news too, check out the thread, Travis's Stuff

Good Morning Todd. Hope Everything is going good with the screen.

Good Morning Mike,my Friend.

So far, so good. Everything is set up like I had hoped. So in a few hours I will be throwing in the Blu-Ray of the Original "Transformers" Movie. And from there I will let the Movie weekend begin.

The 2nd Movie will be "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen". The Only question will be if I can handle watching both movies in the same day.If not I will play ROTF Sunday.

But either way,I will have some screenshots to post on my thread later today.I just hope I can get at least a couple of shots that turn out remotely similar to what the image on the screen looks like.

So how has your weekend started. Good I hope.

Hey Travis,Buddy.

Beautiful AV Rack.And I Love those B&W Speakers.The Center is Simply Amazing with the grille off.
I posted on your thread about the tweeter difference.And ,I really dont think its remotely far enough apart to have Any Impact on how Incredible your Front Soundstage Should Perform on Movies or Music.
But I Really Hope in Time I can get a pair of B&W Speakers like yours to add to my 2-Channel Audio System.

Good to hear Todd. The weekend would be alot better if i didnt have to work. I wont have a day off till wednesday. By the way, Did you get Star Trek? I have watched it 5 times in the past 4 days. In fact I am watching the digital copy on my ipod touch right now. second time tonight.

No I didn't have the funds when it came out on Blu-Ray.Luckily I did see it at the Theater.So I know its one of the 2 Best Movies I saw this Year(Half Blood Prince being the Other/but I'm prejudiced since I'm a Big Harry Potter Fan ).

But when I get paid on the 3rd I will be adding "Star Trek" to my Blu-Ray collection.Unless they have a Wicked Price for it on Black Friday.Then I will work a little magic and get it then.But I think it might be too New to have a Big Deal on it yet.

I'm glad to see you like it as much as you do. Its a Great Movie,and I know I will watch it a couple of times when I first get it.
You sound like me when I got the first "Underworld".I watched it twice in 2 days and then 4 times in the first 11 or 12 days.And I did the same with Battlestar Galactica:Razor.

I am glad you mentioned IPOD Touch.My Sister is getting one for my Nephew this Christmas(He will be 12 in January).She doesn't know anything about them,and really,neither do I.

Do you have the Last Model or the Newest Model of the Touch?And what is the size of the Hard Drive on that Baby.And do you know what the differences are between the Newest Model and the older Model(I dont know maybe called the Classic).

Sorry for the questions,but getting answers from an owner will help immensely.

Not a problem. I have the first generation Ipod Touch. It comes equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity. The base model was 8gb. The new Ipod Touch has a built in speaker, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the base is 16gb. (i believe). Just think of it as an iPhone without the phone or microphone.

Good Mourning Todd !

So today is the day to test the new toys out I see . I hope you are excited as I was when I put my screen up & watched A movie for the first time .

I am glad you are feeling better & up to enjoying it . Looking forward to the screen shots vs. the Sheet Shots .

Good Morning crazy,my friend.
I hope you have a Great Weekend in front of you.

And,yes,it wont be too much longer before I go back in my room and get my speakers callibrated.Then after that,I will put in the First "Transformers" Blu-Ray and watch that today.So I will take pleanty of screen shots from that Movie.
Hopefully if I take enough I can at least get a few that turn out postable.

And if I dont try to watch the Second Transformers Movie Today,then I will put in a couple of more Blu-Rays and try to get some good screen shots from a few different movies.

But,yes,I'm Excited to watch this first movie on my screen today.It has to be a Huge difference then what the Sheet displayed.

And it can hold quite a few Movies,TV Shows, and music as well.Is that right.
Is it able to hold several movies at a time?
Then you can buy Movies and TV Shows from the I Tunes store ?

You will see A difference going from something the picture bleeds threw to something that does not bleed threw at all .

Enjoy the movie Todd .

Thank You my Friend.

I am looking forward to today's movie being just like the first movie I watched when I first assembled a system this year.So,I kind of see it as a Starting Over.

It certainly has me excited to watch a Movie,again.So inbetween the New Movies in December,additional sub from Aero,and having this screen mounted.
I will have a renewed interest in watching movies again.

Good morning Tals! How are you feeling today?
