nicholtl Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I think you should pick up "Appleseed," an incredible animation that was out in theaters the same time as "The Incredibles." Obviously, being an anime, it wasn't nearly as well-known to the mass public, but critics all hail it as the "Incredibles Killer." And I agree. It's an amazing movie with awesome characters, mind-bending action, constant twists and turns, an unbelievable plot, brilliant story-telling, massive machinery, insane robots, incindiary firepower, breathtaking visuals, and lush orchestration. SEE IT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a recent release so maybe fewer have already seen it. It can keep most of th ekids attention but is serious enough to keep the adults attention as well. And maybe, just mayber, there is some history that everyone can pick up on and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffinator Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 There's only one movie to show, The Incredibles. Not only is it a great movie that all will enjoy, it has a killer sound track with lots of LFE and the picture quality it truely Incredible!

I guess it is a good thing I am not the one who is looking for a film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandi Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Woo Hoo, I just brought the "Big Screen" home. I guess I should have taken a picture, you would have gotten a kick out of seeing a 4' x 8' sheet of 1/2 MDF in the back seat of a Seabring (sp), with the top down of course. Good thing I only had to drive about a mile. Screen size will actually be 44 inches by 78.25 inches for a whopping 89.77 inch diagaonal. Shootin for the 10th or 11th to be opening night.

D-MAN Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 These are all good recommendations. For my money, I would say that on the whole, any of the PIXAR movies would be good choices, my favorites being "Finding Nemo" and "Monsters Inc.". I agree with John Albright's SCI-FI selections, everyone of them. That will be upto you assessing your crowd as being SCI-FI fans or not.

JohnA Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I've always loved "Forbidden Planet". I saw it first on "The Big Show" on channel 5 in Nashville around 1963. I was cold and shaking when the monster was coming into the lab. I probably had nightmares, too. When I showed it to my kids at age 5 and 7, they ran to Mommie at the same place. It was great! I had to listen to some *****in' about nightmares for a week, but it was worth it. The boys like it still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandi Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 We are almost ready!!!Watched TV tonight with wires ran across the floor and only one speaker hooked up.

wally flick Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Would love to see a picture. I'll be setting up my backyard theater next week-end for a screening of Napoleon Dynamite. Yes, we will be serving TOTS! And you are correct, Monday Night Football is outstanding as is the World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfyr Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Does that mean you that you will be entertaining Tots, or eating them? Sometimes folks can be so vague! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandi Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 I have been trying to upload a picture for a couple of days, keep getting an error of some sort(An error occurred saving file to disk). Wally, can you view yours during daylight hours outside? The projector I am using has 1600 alums and it pretty much has to be half hour or more past sunset to view.

wally flick Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 My son is having the party and is 14, no tots/kids allowed Unfortunately it needs to be almost completely dark, not sure the rating. We will probably start about 8:45 or so since its 3 days from the summer solstice. I originally had a driveway movie theater where I duct tape a king size sheet to the garage door, rear project form the garage and seating in the driveway. Its amazing the picture you can get out of a $10 sheet! Ive since built a portable PVC rig that we set up in the backyard. Its a blast.
