Frank, I dig this makeshift home theater. A front projector/pull-down screen combo is the way to go to make a sweet, extralarge flat-panel display for a relatively affordable price. And that Sanyo is a popular budget choice. That said, I gotta give you a little ribbing for having that solo-seating situation. That lounge chair looks comfortable, but not ideal for group watching. Also, the aspect ratio is off on the movie you have on the screen, which drives our senior associate editor John Falcone nuts. Marlon Brando was big for that movie, but his head's a little stretched and the picture should fill the whole screen.
