    He spent all that money on the tacky decor but didn't even get an AMX/Crestron automation system? :wallbash:

    I'd rather spend the money on a comprehensive, fully automated HT setup instead of those horrid columns, awful drapes and tacky gold paint.

    I have to agree. It certainly is an acheivement, but intodays understated world it looks so wrong. Might look cool in India. I think they go for that sotra a thing.

    Lack of nice seats = pointless.

    Why does that remind me of the Trafford Centre? lol

    I love the idea of a proper home theatre room, but the decor in that one is definitely tacky and overdone.

    Agreed; tacky. I think it would all be very distracting when trying to watch a film in there, reflections and such.

    Not to my taste, but the amount of work put into that is impressive.


    If I were to build a proper home cinema I'd go for dark, clean walls and dramatic lighting. And very, very good sound proofing and dampening.

    Actually, I would probably just build a sound studio and put a big-ass screen and good seats in it. ;)

    My favourite cinema in Brisbane was almost like this (but not quite as gaudy). The painted ceiling and the column lights are full of win. With a little less OTT I would consider this setup. Mine would be more Art Deco but.

    The architectural quality of his theatre could be much better improved with more cornices.

    I don't see why he installed 12 chairs.. no way does he have 11 buddies, if he had, it would be some beer-cases as chairs, projector stand, and 4 beer-cases combined with a plywood sheet as a table...

    AND BTW, who the fork uses the 56K warning in 2010... 2010 man, is there a single sole on the civilized part of the world that uses anything slower than 256K... my cellphone is faster than 56K modem..

    If I had the money to spare, I'd put that guy to shame.
