Turns out Pizza Hut agrees and here it is RIGHT AT HOME! click here  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-09-2015 08:38 AM                        Looks like their projection is as good as their pizza. I'd feel a little bit less disgusted if they showed a couple of 8 year olds putting on a show for the kids on the block. Does this mean everyone has quit watching movies on TV?  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 06-09-2015 11:27 AM                     Reminds me of those cardboard/plastic lens conversion kits to turn your old television into a video projector that used to be advertised in the back of magazines. They worked, just not very well.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-09-2015 02:02 PM                        To really make it seem like a real movie theater cinema projection system they should sell these pizzas for $65,000.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 06-09-2015 02:18 PM                     Do they encrypt the whole pizza or just the toppings?  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham".

It's like a fifties toy premium.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-09-2015 03:28 PM                        Jen would be mortified if she knew I was posting this here. She actually spent money on this, I think maybe $10. It's a phone projector. And holy hell IS IT AWESOME!! As you can see the box exists as highly desirable corrugated plastic. It feels much like the TES and Deluxe film boxes of yore. There's a reason for that. And the reason is because it kicks ass, just like TES and Deluxe boxes! You attach your phone to the sticky substance on the back wall. It works just like focusing a real xenon bulb! So be sure to get it right and also wear your protection gear. Like a real movie, you need to get it playing before you can close up the lamphouse and shine it onscreen. And here it is all closed up! It provides nearly a lumen of brightness with a throw distance of 3 inches in a pitch-black room. And if that's not enough look at the sweet video and audio inputs! Holy crap it even features composite video! DID I DIE AND GO TO AWESOME VIDEO HEAVEN??? Most other projectors only feature a coaxial RF connection if you're lucky but most have the split twin-lead RF connection. And if the sound from your phone's speaker inside the box isn't powerful and pleasant enough, you can even hook up speakers! LOOK AT THAT! Each channel is powered by an internal amp featuring up to 25 microamps of POWER!!!!! Holy crap! You can go straight to hell with your gigawatts Doc Brown, we've got more than enough power right here! Needless to say I have thrown away my TV and sound system because how can anything compete with sheer perfection like this?  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 06-09-2015 03:43 PM                     But did it come with a slice of soggy pan pizza? I guess when your next Barco or Christie comes with a slot for your smartphone where the lamp house used to be, it's time to start scratching our collective heads.  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 06-09-2015 04:06 PM                     Finally a system that matches our local Edwards theater for screen brightness!
