Othello Cinema

I completely missed the fact that you named the theater! Well done! This space has come together really well. Beautiful job!

Settled on Othello because we didn't come up with anything better. We live on SW Othello Street, so it was always the working title. Bought the Criterion Blu-ray to serve as the official opening-night film, but it's been such a slow-rollout that we still haven't watched it. We won't be ordering custom Othello Cinema pint glasses like @Mike Schramm's awesome wife did...but we had to call it something!

Very classy and stylish Home Cinema. love those art acoustic panels (touch of color with a big splash). Such a great movie space!!

A little news on the projector upgrade decision. This week I pulled the trigger.

On a Lumagen.

HUGE improvement, and gives me almost everything I was wanting out of a new projector (sans the laser) and more. Obviously the Dynamic Tone Mapping makes the biggest visual difference (and what a difference it makes!!!), but had I known more about the auto aspect ratio feature before, I probably would've added this years ago. Not the non-linear stretch - keep that away from me. But auto aspect is a real great feature for those with scope screens. Makes things much simpler, much more foolproof.

Kris Deering coming out soon to calibrate the JVC. Not gonna lie, adding the Lumagen has me thinking I might just put a new bulb in my stocking every year for the holidays and run this projector until it dies. Just an incredible improvement.
