Title: ITS RAINING
Post by: Fiero on Aug 27, 2006, 03:50:18 PM: Dude, I was skeptical when they said a 60% chance through tuesday, but it's fucking raining and it just very well all night. This has been a hot/dry summer for Dallas, I'm happy now. HOORAY!

I cut grass Friday and disturbed much dust, which subsequently disturbed my sinuses. The radio show this morning went pretty nasty.

Don't worry. That's just God's attempt to wipe you from existence. I've really got my fingers crossed this time.

Post by: IDE on Aug 28, 2006, 02:22:05 PM: I have one of those alarm clocks with different white noise makers. Rain was my old favorite but I've been passing out to waterfall lately. Switched back to rain last night and dreamt it actually rained which was a nice change from the ridiculous humidity here even if it only happened in my subconscious.

Post by: IDE on Aug 30, 2006, 03:01:03 AM: It finally rained today. So when I went to class It was nice weather...then tonight the heat kicked in like V-tech. Plus we had a punk rock band playing so everyone was going fucking crazy in sweltering heat that made you sweat if you just stood still.

It's not the movie that counts. It's the thought damnit!

and I can't believe you'd even rent Snakes on a Plane, or rather rent it with your own money.

Title: ITS RAINING
Post by: Rama on Sep 01, 2006, 01:32:44 AM: May have been your only chance to see it. It's already gone here...and we still have Talladega Nights.

But don't fret...it'll be on DVD in Six weeks. And only 15 more years till it's "In Profit."
Title: ITS RAINING
Post by: IDE on Sep 01, 2006, 02:46:21 AM: No, it's not that I want to see the movie really. I just think that the opening night experience for that movie is the only experience worth having it with it.

I have 3 friends who want to see it but I bet we're the only ones in the theatre...if like you said it's even still playing.
Title: ITS RAINING
Post by: Rama on Sep 01, 2006, 03:46:34 AM: The opening night/day flicks I've been to have been a hassle. Usually full of assholes that smell bad, crowd me (since they are packed in like sardines), and have a crying baby in one hand and are yapping on their cell phones with the other. I like to wait till it calms down a bit before I hit a flick. I've only been to a handful of opening night flicks and the only one that wasn't a St*r WarzzZZ movie was "Batman" way back in 89.

One day I'm going to build a full-sized theater in my house so I can enjoy a film in a theater setting, with out all the theater problems.
Title: ITS RAINING
Post by: IDE on Sep 01, 2006, 12:42:00 PM: I just have a feeling that this opening night would've been packed with people from the INTERNET. So that perhaps I could just yell INNNTTERRRRNET! out in the middle of the movie and piss some people off whilst making some other people laugh. And everyone would've gotten up and given a standing ovation when Sam L. said the infamous line.

but now I'll never know...

Dude, so am I. But I'm not getting any tv for that room, I'm gonna paint a wall like a screen and set up a projector. And my kitchen's gonna be like a diner and I'm gonna have a laundromat type room to do laundry, complete with a vending machine, a pacman game, and a change machine that takes my dollars and eats them. Ah, to dream.

Post by: Extra Zero on Sep 01, 2006, 11:17:39 PM: It would be easier, cheaper and all around better to get a HD projector than that 103 inch TV...much easier to get into the house, aswell.

Damn...80K for 103 inches. I have a 52-inch now and it only set me back around 800 clams. I'd be paying 10 times as much for only twice as much screen. My set up now is ok. I have a 52 inch HD TV with a 5.1 Surround sound system and the subwoofer will rattle your fillings if you set it up right...but I still haven’t achieved that exact feel yet.

I've heard mixed reviews on the screen paint. It is much cheaper then the actual screen, but I don't know if I'm sold on it yet. I think I'd have to see it used in person someplace before I caved in and did that.

Ha...I want to do that too. Right down to the chrome trim on the table. But I had my pacman machine (which is between the Centerpiece and Galaga stand ups, which is next to the jukebox) in the game room off the theater and the next to the concession stand complete with popcorn maker, which is also next to the vending machine. There is also a pool table around there too.

Well the paint is suppose to be some kind of speical paint and isn't cheap. I know I could just use white paint, but I'm just stickler for perfection. Then you have to have to take into account that painting a wall large enough to double as a screen is a lot of work. I'd just rather see how it looked before I shelled out the money and work and then just have to paint over it again. Most places that will sell you the paint usually have or can show you some kind of demonstration of the product. So it's no biggy.

She is right on that. If my TV didn't have wheels on it I'd never move it. Screens are much more portable and the painted wall....well that's as portable as a can of paint.
