… well, I wasn’t that much of as kid. I saw the movie of Fahrenheit 451 when I was still in my teens.
On a black and white TV.
And I thought this was so cool:
I wanted a TV that big sooooo much.
Now I live in a world in which they exist.
And I won’t buy one or even take one for free.

Why not? Granted most tv is crap…there is still some good stuff out there. And, IMHO, movies are better on a bigger screen.
TV is noisy. Most movies are noisy. I’d rather read is why.
I have 5 of those puppies, and a 10′ screen in my theater.
But I’m compensating. :o)
yeh i saw that movie too, except it was like this year.. i couldnt believed that the movie was filmed in 1960 and they had such a mofo** big screen.. amazed me how they had such massive screens those days.. even my tv now is only as big as that.
