My Dream Home Theater
Here's a little secret I'm just telling you. Yeah, just you - the one reading this. No one else:
I really, really, really want a home theater. You know. The kind with the big screen and plush chairs and even one of those nifty popcorn machines.
This lens has all my awesome ideas (because they are awesome) for building my home theater.
Why Do I Want a Home Theater?
In my teens, this trend continued. Only, um, I was more into sneaking into R rated films than Disney films.
Now, I still love going to the theater. I love going out and watching the movie with the crowd (love those opening weekends). There's nothing like it.
However, there are sometimes when I just want to stay home and watch movies. Maybe it's just a movie that you can't see in the theater anymore like The Empire Strikes Back or Back to the Future. Maybe it's cold and I don't want to bundle up or maybe it's just a blah day and I don't want to get out of my pajamas.
Whatever the reason, wouldn't it be nice just to sit down in front of a big fat screen (that you own) and watch whatever movie your heart desires? Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
