Everyone these days is trying to make their own home theater system even though the quality of movies coming out now is terrible. I guess you can figure that if you are going to watch a terrible movie it might as well be in the comfort of your home and for $4 verses out fighting the loud teenagers at $9 a pop. Our friend has a projector and it is neat to watch movies on because it really is like you are in the theater the only problem he had was when the bulb went out. It is not like you can go and pick up projector lamp bulbs up at Wal-Mart. My advice would be to have a few spare on hand in case it blows during a movie.
