Genuinely curious how this cost a million? It's some custom metal / wood, a few decent chairs and a screen. Sound system and screen is probably very expensive but not that much. Is the extra cash to get proper acoustics really going to bring it up to a million?
Soundproofing is expensive yes
He probably hired an architect, several engineers including sound and video, shit adds up fast
I still don't get how it gets to one mil I'd imagine a couple hundred thou

That's a large space, for sure.
If it's a million USD or a more expensive currency, then the answer is this guy just doesn't know how to negotiate, and lets the people he employs walk all over him.
You can always find some idiot willing to do stuff cheaper and shittier. I think it was a stupid project, but $1 million seems about in line with what I’d expect something like it to cost. Architects, good interior designers, and people who can actually do custom design and construction, and people to do the the A/V stuff right is expensive. To make things way more complicated, they all have to work together to do something like this. This isn’t just a basic cookie cutter house. Competent architects and interior designers cost hundreds of dollars an hour as do the kinds of construction companies who do specialized stuff like this. There’s a ridiculous amount of work that goes into these projects. On top of that, you’ve got the expense of all the a/v gear, materials, permitting, etc.
>$1 million seems about in line with what I’d expect something like it to cost.
1 million dollars is obscene. How many weeks of work is making that room from scratch as an addon? Four, maybe 5? Look at those wall pannels, there's maybe 6 different designs just repeated. You give the design to a cabinet guy and he could get them done in 2 or 3 days. Alltogether if you're spending more than 300k on the walls and the structure you're getting insanely ripped off, even 300 is fricking rich considering you can build an entire house for less. Those chairs are 1.5-2.5k a pop, call it 25k for the full set and then 5k for the emperor's throne, that's 30k. The projector and the audio system, let's assume 200k if he went nuts and let himself get ripped off insanely again. The electrical, those lights are just flourescents behind some plastic, they're not expensive. Maybe 20-30k if it's all integrated into the theatre shit. The carpet's just carpet, that shit on the ceilling, those are the bottoms of milkcrates cut off, fricking cheap as shit (but look good), again maybe ~10k for both. Even if he was getting severly ripped on everything he's pushing 600k max.
There's no way that homosexual spent 1 million on his Star Wars den. I bet he's hyping the price to make the house sell for more to some reddit basedboy that works for Alphabet or something.

>300 is fricking rich considering you can build an entire house for less
Building a cookie cutter house is entirely different from getting a whole bunch of shit custom designed and made. Most houses are comparatively cheap because you've got a ready to go blueprint that was used for 2000 other houses, a bunch of drug addicts or mexicans sloppily pounding a cheap frame together, and a bunch of standardized crap for the rest of the house.
You seem to think you can just call up a construction company, demand they lower their prices, and then get a whole custom project banged together in a couple days. You're obsessed with the cost of materials as if that's the only cost, but materials alone are usually a comparatively small part of any major home construction project.

I almost feel ashamed that I spent this much time justifying the cost of a moronic Star Wars home theater, but it drives me nuts when people think design is cheap. The absolute worst fricking clients are the ones who think they can just negotiate whatever the hell price they want.
>REE GRAPHIC DESIGN COST $200+ /hr??? >That's our rate
Inevitably these cheap frickers try to get you to do it at something flat out insulting 1/4 the price or even free because "you'll get exposure, you'll get lots of referrals!" After more attempts at haggling, they throw down the "WELL I'LL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT DOESN'T CHARGE AN ARM AND A LEG." Good fricking riddance.
Two months later you see their logo/sign/whatever and it's some absolute dogshit that their cousin or some other idiot who doesn't know what they're doing threw together. Sometimes, they decided to do it themselves and used a Bitmoji of their face or something equally awful. These sorts of people are inevitably horrible clients if they actually do agree to pay.

300k would be less than 2000 sqft of structure with today's prices, boomer.
probably around 1400sqft if living in a climate zone requiring building with consideration to hurricane/heavy flooding
The point though, is you can easily build your own HT and have it function the same or better than this. Granted it won't look like a star wars ship with tiered seating. But the sound and visuals will be on par...all for like 5k.
No, it's nothing to do with cheaper and shittier. If you commission ANYTHING, and accept the first price you're given, you have been scammed.
EVERY person who makes a living on commissioned work will throw out absurd prices when asked for a quote, because most of the time morons with no conception of what things are worth will just say "ok".
There's a reason businesses negotiate prices. Even getting a house built, you need to negotiate prices down. Same for any construction. Getting a car. There are dozens of people involved in a project like this that WILL fleece the shit out of you.

I work in graphic design. Potential-clients who want to haggle over price like they're trading in some sort of arab bazaar are guaranteed to be horrible clients. The only clients we give discounted rates to are large clients we regularly work with.
There are cheaper graphic designers out there. There are dirt cheap options like family and friends. If someone doesn't want to pay our rates, we're happy for them to be someone else's problem.

Funniest was when a potential client went somewhere else and we found out a year later that they need a new logo because they'd gotten a cease and desist letter for using the Hardee's star.
He told them money was no object so they upcharged him and made the most expensive and profitable installations, and he was happy to see the bills were so big because he figures it represents his dream
It’s a deep geopolitical saga that explores the many dualities of the good and evil (Jedi and the Sith, Luke and Vader, etc) through a Taoist-Jungian lens. It’s shocking that audiences actually had an appetite for such sophisticated fare.
It exists to sell merchandise and licensing. It’s juvenile, trite soulless shit with focus group-honed mass appeal to the nostalgia-addicted materialist-consumer dregs. Of course you love it, this isn’t coincidental: you are among the cultivated demographics and part of the allure is thinking you’re part of a community and have a deep love for something so profound few “get it”. That’s also not coincidental.
It’s literally a western-martial arts fusion movie set in space that has evolved into what it is today with an absurd amount of layering on of retcons and storylines and characters written by god knows how many actors. It’s a convoluted mess and only an autistic man child could be impressed by such trash.

The appeal of Star Wars is pretty much that it's giving the audience all of the stuff they want. in terms of it being a good old fashioned morality tale, with religious undertones, and allusions to to world culture, but any direct connection to those things is severed, so the audience doesn't feel lost or alienated if they personally aren't a Christian, or know nothing about Eastern spirituality, or Samurai codes, or whatever.
Effectively, yeah. It's a franchise for the ignorant and uneducated(and Atheists who still really want to be religious somewhere deep down in their minds), but it's very good at being that particular thing.

NTA but I personally have come to the conclusion that the entire modern far/radical left is basically this psychology. The typical screaming pink haired marxist-feminist type, is the same basic psychology as the prohibitionist, the abolitionist, and the radical puritan. These people have lost their religious extremism and replaced it with political and ideological extremism because it's the only thing that allows them to feel something like religious indignation and moral justice. There's lots of useful idiots and NPCs on the Left as well but the truly radical leftoids are unironically closer mentally to fundamentalist/extremist Christians or Muslims than to anything else.

Interesting theory and I can see it’s merit. Similar to those same people treating science like religion (as we saw during COVID, where contradicting or even questioning the narrative was blasphemy).
I don't doubt that they do man. So many anons here were amazed when told that if you watch movies with the light shut off you actually get a better experience due to how the technology is limited on the contrast side.
At best, most normies watch with a dim light.

How is that $1M? Unless maybe he is including the real estate in the cost and he lives in San Fran or something. The custom construction there should be <$100k. High end commercial cinema equipment should be <$200k. So where is the other $700k?
Bought the 65” CX three years ago and love it. First 4k HDR screen. Used it for a monitor for the first few months while playing through Cyberpunk. Planning on getting a 55” C2 or C3 this winter for a monitor. They’re great screens.
Just things like Dolby Vision and filmmaker mode are so good, not having to piss about with colour settings and worrying about whether the settings are just right is great.
Could have benefitted from being a Google TV because I'd have liked the option of Steam Link or Moonlight to stream games from my PC but I've got an Nvidia Shield so it's not much of a big deal.

Just memorize a couple of science facts, like for instance that event horizon is the point past which light can't escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, then get really excited about it when you explain it, imagine the excitement of a hyperactive child mixed with a basedface with its mouth wide enough for ten Black person wieners, then multiply that by ten, that's what you're aiming for. Then apply it as a """clever""" name to reddit consoomer trash you waste your money on, like if you a home theater that's black, call it Event Horizon(GET IT?) then go into a long explanation about it when you have guests over(never), preferably while huffing your own farts.
Home theaters are the cringiest things in the world. You’re better off making a comfy living room with a huge tv and surround sound instead of forcing guests to go to your theater to watch anything.
>married couple want seating for two in their home theatre >get a single piece with two seats divided by a massive arm
quintessential redditor marriage
I had a friend growing up with a dope home theater. Guess what, his house was fricking huge and they also had a comfy living room with maxxed out speakers and a gigantic basement.
Says the guy who spends 90% of his waking hours behind a computer or phone screen. In comparison a tv you use to watch a movie every now and then is harmless.
I have sneaked everything from Taco Bell combo meals to chicken wings from Wingstop into the theater. I threw the bones right on the floor. The problem with home theaters is you can’t do that at home.
Whichever contractor made the room probably realized that he was dealing with someone who was rich but without a brain and threw out an insane figure. Some people have more money than wits and blue collar boys know to take advantage when they run into one of those idiots

Something is seriously wrong with home theater guys
Same theater
>having guests
Pff
These guys are the same as audiophile guys. They spend absurd amounts of money getting the perfect state of the art set up and then use it to watch the Moana and avatar 2 on twice per year. Similar to audiophiles spending moron money to listen to the beatles who recorded their music on a tin can. They always have the shittiest of taste. Mostly because the hobby for them is more about the technical side of things than the media itself. these are usually rich guys looking for ways to get in to some surrogate activity in order to occupy their time for a while. They dont really give two shits about cinema.
When i move out of home i'll probably have a barebones cinema room. Having a projector/screen is 100% the best way to get a huge picture and you can get a relatively good used projector for 200-300 gbp used. If you wanna go 4k, perhaps 600-700. Current one i have is 1080 and looks pretty great. Its great for gaming too.
My opinion is that "good enough" in a cinema room is still a better experience than 99% of people watching films. Which you could get done with a cheap 5.1 AV set up with 4x cheap bookshelf speakers attached, a cheap projector screen and a used projector from ebay. Perhaps because im a poorgay, but thats my mindset. One thing i would splash out on is a good chair.
Most of the time you’re way better off just getting a stereo for sound. Stereo works fine in almost all settings, is flexible, and easy to set up. Surround sound is a pain in the ass to set up, doesn’t work well in a lot of rooms, and is more expensive. Don’t even get me started in those horrible “home theater in a box” things. They’re often worse than just using your tv’s built in speakers.

Anon you aren't thinking like a poorgay. You are thinking in business terms of what we call the "cost to performance" ratio. The cheapest you can make something while getting the max performance possible.
You can usually achieve 80% to 90% the performance of top end home theaters with an affordable budget. But it's that last 10% that is insanely expensive to achieve.
For example, You can see it in computer prices. If you were to price out a custom computer on a website that builds computers, it's usually the top 3 items in every category that are crazy expensive. But if you go down a few notches (from the top) the price suddenly becomes very affordable for that component.
That's the same thing with home theaters. You could pick a crazy expensive projector for tens of thousands of dollars. Or you could get something cheaper for about 1K or even less. It's still a very good projector and does the job. The absolute top end is crazy expensive for only a 10% boost at most.

im not knocking the guys for spending a lot on their cinema rooms. If i had the money i'd have one in a heartbeat. They look great. Im just pointing out that the effect of their set-up can be replicated for much less on a budget. The other point being that the culture revolving around these set ups online is more about the hardware for these guys than it actually is about being in to movies. Its a generalization, im sure there are some guys out there who have 100k cinema rooms like this and are big in to film but browse an of the A/V forums or whatever the amount these guys spend on their cinema room is not proportional to their knowledge of film.
That would be incredibly based
as an example. The guy has a 235k cinema room and his favourite films seem to be the mummy, spiderman, batman begins and the matrix from what i can see of the posters. Theres nothing wrong with that, none of them are even particularly bad films other than batman begins but the guy is obviously not watching anything beyond the modern blockbusters. These guys are more bothered about the wiring in their A/V system than they are the latest kino.

If you spend 1 million dollars on a home theater, and all you watch on it is Star Wars, put a gun in your fricking mouth.
This is so accurate. I worked with an audiophile guy for a while and he had incredibly shitty taste in music and movies.
>B-but... it's subjective..!!!
It wasn't. I get there's some leeway when it comes to personal taste. Even though I think reggae is moronic mindless repetitive weed music that sounds the same, I still understand that it has merit in some vague sense. And so on with all the major music genres. But this guy just listened to the blandest electronic music. Painful.
Every hobby has the uber gearheads who are basically just consoomers addicted to dopamine bursts from buying things. They might do a lot of research on brands and what fellow hobbyists consider the best, but their actual knowledge and skill set is usually low, they just buy their way to the top.
I’ve seen this in everything: golf, cars, paintball, aquariums, scuba diving, climbing hell even gardening and hunting. These people all have the same mentality.
I love the posters and the look of the room but again, how the frick is this so expensive? These richgays get gouged on everything and people think they can never have anything like this but you can achieve 90+% of the same thing with a big tv/projector, comfy chair and decent speakers for 1-5% of the cost
a fool and his money are great friends with another fool and his money, and heaping amounts of their money goes back and forth all the time while all you can do is watch
The highest end projector on the market is $80k.Im presuming the guy has that or something similar, as well as top end audio equipment, top end projector screen and then 6x of those chairs and remodeling the room. Even then im not sure how he managed to spend $285k. Perhaps he hired a contractor to sort the whole thing and paid a premium on top of material costs? Seems stupid and wasteful and takes away half of the fun of building a personalized cinema room but thats all i can come up with for that kidn of money.

Pretty much, yeah.
They tend to have zero social awareness.
Most of them spend 90% of their time researching their next gadget buy or fiddling around with test patterns. They don't really care a lot about watching movies.
I used to be one of these guys. But nowadays my dream set-up is a media room with a < 85" television which is designed from the beginning to be inviting and comfortable instead of an autistic pit of darkness with a 200" screen.
Are there places that rent laser projectors and screens? I'm considering buying a set but would like a real try out in my space, not a demo setup somewhere like Best Buy.
Rent a Center usually rents low quality products. It's where people spend an ungodly amount of money to get a TV through some rent-to-own deal because they can't afford to buy a TV like a normal person. They're unlikely to have high quality gear to rent, but you could call them to check.
Some high end A/V stores will do in home demos. Their gear may be ungodly expensive and out of your price range though.

I went to a Ryoji Ikeda concert years ago. The audience was seated in a converted church, usually host go jazz musicians and chamber ensembles, facing supposedly the largest speaker stack in Europe in absolute pitch black whilst Ikeda fired out his frequency bleep tones and noise bursts at an immense volume. It was incredibly intense and psychedelic experience.

after thinking about it for a while, i think I want to build a chamber for taking psychedelics. Matte black walls, a bed to lay on, a sink for drinking water/pissing, air circulation, and a very loud sound system for playing soundscapes or instrumental music. no screens. probably $300 plus the cost of the mushrooms.
When I was a poorgay in college living in a shitty rundown house with stoner roomates, we had one closet just big enough for one person to sit in. We covered the inside with cheap noise isolation panels, took out the light, threw in a cheap ass speaker, and threw some blacklight posters and a blacklight, to make a cheap ass psyche cave. It was incredibly based, at least until one of the roomies destroyed it during a bad trip by punching holes in everything and vomiting all over it.

For me, it's a 1990's upper middle class living room with a home entertainment center, with a big screen CRT, & players for VHS, DVD, CDs & vinyl records. When not watching classic kinos, I'm jamming to The Rippingtons on stereo while doing house work.
here. That sounds comfy. Honestly, my living room would be a combo of 90's Manhattan bachelor pad & the family rooms from Home Improvement & Full House.
Late 20th century furniture with earth tones, a tasteful mixture of modern & robust with 90's state of the art electronics, accompanied by warm lighting.

Living in my first apartment and the first thing I wanted to buy for it before I even knew where it would be was a green shag rug. I have it now and it's as glorious as I'd imagined it would be, but it's starting to mindbreak me. I'm mostly relying on inherited furniture from grandparents, so it's becoming all to easy to transform this very modern apartment into a midcentury hellscape/paradise. I feel like I could buy a slatted walnut entertainment center at any moment.
Back in the 90s I was looking all over for Chandler and Joey's entertainment center from Friends but could never find it. I'm assuming it was a one-off design.
In practicality nobody can even tell the difference between muh inky blacks or perfect color anyway. Especially in day to day use. You've been sold the latest tech gimmick that gives nothing more than marginal gain in image quality compared to the previous tech.
The only place where an oled really is worth it is for gaming because of how well they tend to handle motion, although this may just be more an effect of them being high end devices which have RnD poured in to all aspects of them, than OLED tech itself.
A huge picture is still the most immersive and important factor in watching a film. Everything else is secondary.
If 100+ oleds werent $10 grand + then i'd agree with you but a 65 inch tv just cant compare, no matter how good the image quality.
I was watching Avatar 2 on my PS4 VR goggles earlier and it was fun. Thank you based Cameron for pushing Disney to release the 3D version in America for a change.
Based projectorchad. It's all about immersion. I don't care how sharp the screen on your phone is, you will never be immersed. Which would you rather watch - a 720p movie on a 100-inch screen, or an ultraHD flick on a 10-inch screen? Enough said. Same applies to surround sound on basic speakers vs super-high-fidelity headphones. Despite what women will tell you, size really does matter.
As an artist I personally can’t stand OLEDs because they seem to blow out and oversaturate all colours. I’ll live without darker black happily for good colour accuracy.
for $1000 that has to be the 42 inch version which is a bit small for a TV, the bigger ones ramp up really quickly if I recall

I use a 42" LG OLED as a desk monitor and can easily tell the difference between that and my other $1Kish 4K 32" LG monitor. However I'm much closer and can compare I suppose. I didn't buy it for movies though, not enough 4K content to justify it.
>can easily tell the difference between that and my other $1Kish 4K 32" LG monitor
that's my point. In day to day use you arent sat there contrasting and comparing your screen to another anyway, so things like contrast and colour accuracy arent really that paramount for enjoying a film or game because the contrast and colour accuracy is already pretty damn good on other tech. I would say between the two, contrast is the most important but in a blacked out room percieved contrast on projectors is pretty good anyway. Same goes for modern LCD/LED screens, with the suped up features like local dimming and microled, dual layer lcd etc. While contrast and color accuracy isnt perfect on these devices, it is still pretty damn good and the difference betwen OLED and other technologies is marginal in day to day use, browsing desktop/internet, watching films, playing games to the point where most people wouldnt even notice it.
yeah I'm not wow'd massively by it in regular use, I can see it's blacker than my other monitor but my other monitor's blacks still feel decent enough to me. Maybe some exceptions like space games where the contrast can really shine.
The one thing I can't go back from is 4K really. And obviously the old washed out panels of old, but pretty sure even the cheapest shit is at least IPS now.
I built my own screen and found a high end projector on FB marketplace, all for 400$. Laptop as the "receiver" and some 50$ bookshelf speakers is all you need. Just moved into a house where I don't have space for it and going back to a TV sucks
If I had that much spare space and money, I'd buy several arcade machines and a pool table, and I'd be a lot happier than these people.
What is so fascinating about pretending you're in a movie theatre? You're watching the same movie as everyone else.
I have a 4K projector onto ambient light rejecting material and hooked up to a 9.2 Dolby Atmos setup. Plex/Nvidia Shield for AI upscale and PS5 for UHD Blu-Rays
Cost me $12-15,000 furniture and sound dampening materials included. Love it. Seethe poors.
Any reason why I shouldn't just buy a PS5+PSVR2 to watch kino? I know you can also do it on the Quest 2, but I want to be able to watch my blu-ray collection with a headset as well.
i tried watching DUNC on an oculus quest 2 and it gave me a headache after around 20 mins. It also isnt quite the same as actually having a big screen in front of you because you're still limited by the actual resolution of the headset, the scale doesnt feel the same and focus uniformity on VR headsets is dogshit so you're constantly straining your eyes.

Home theater gays are pathetic. To invest that much effort simply to be a passive consumer of other peoples shit - and make no mistake, television is mostly shit.
Men of action like myself have only scorn for bellycrawlers like this
I'm not even in my thirties and I already feel a strong sense of dread when I do decide to revisit some of the old movies and games I liked when I was a kid - and I'm just streaming from my Jellyfin server with high bitrate BDRips and some decent bookshelf speakers.
Imagine the feeling of sunken cost being in your fricking 40s or 50s and just finishing up this serial killer-looking home theater setup, only to sit down and watch fricking... Star Wars? Imagine that slow feeling of dread creeping up as you realize "wow, either I got older or this movie kind of sucks." Imagine sitting in that dark room, alone, remembering that you are slowly dying one second at a time and the good years are past while the twilight years are only drifting closer...
But at least you finally built that sick setup you've always wanted
Anons...
When I make it.
Please make sure I never do this.
I would rather light $1,000,000 USD on fire in front of the Federal Reserve and come what may.
Same theater
Oops, I take that back. That's not the same theater.
Holy shit I hate manchildren
That's cool but also so fricking gay
>no center chair
this would drive me insane if it was my personal kinoplex
Genuinely curious how this cost a million? It's some custom metal / wood, a few decent chairs and a screen. Sound system and screen is probably very expensive but not that much. Is the extra cash to get proper acoustics really going to bring it up to a million?
Soundproofing is expensive yes
He probably hired an architect, several engineers including sound and video, shit adds up fast
I still don't get how it gets to one mil I'd imagine a couple hundred thou
That level of custom construction and crafting is extremely expensive.
That's a large space, for sure.
If it's a million USD or a more expensive currency, then the answer is this guy just doesn't know how to negotiate, and lets the people he employs walk all over him.
You can always find some idiot willing to do stuff cheaper and shittier. I think it was a stupid project, but $1 million seems about in line with what I’d expect something like it to cost. Architects, good interior designers, and people who can actually do custom design and construction, and people to do the the A/V stuff right is expensive. To make things way more complicated, they all have to work together to do something like this. This isn’t just a basic cookie cutter house. Competent architects and interior designers cost hundreds of dollars an hour as do the kinds of construction companies who do specialized stuff like this. There’s a ridiculous amount of work that goes into these projects. On top of that, you’ve got the expense of all the a/v gear, materials, permitting, etc.
>$1 million seems about in line with what I’d expect something like it to cost.
1 million dollars is obscene. How many weeks of work is making that room from scratch as an addon? Four, maybe 5? Look at those wall pannels, there's maybe 6 different designs just repeated. You give the design to a cabinet guy and he could get them done in 2 or 3 days. Alltogether if you're spending more than 300k on the walls and the structure you're getting insanely ripped off, even 300 is fricking rich considering you can build an entire house for less. Those chairs are 1.5-2.5k a pop, call it 25k for the full set and then 5k for the emperor's throne, that's 30k. The projector and the audio system, let's assume 200k if he went nuts and let himself get ripped off insanely again. The electrical, those lights are just flourescents behind some plastic, they're not expensive. Maybe 20-30k if it's all integrated into the theatre shit. The carpet's just carpet, that shit on the ceilling, those are the bottoms of milkcrates cut off, fricking cheap as shit (but look good), again maybe ~10k for both. Even if he was getting severly ripped on everything he's pushing 600k max.
There's no way that homosexual spent 1 million on his Star Wars den. I bet he's hyping the price to make the house sell for more to some reddit basedboy that works for Alphabet or something.
>300 is fricking rich considering you can build an entire house for less
Building a cookie cutter house is entirely different from getting a whole bunch of shit custom designed and made. Most houses are comparatively cheap because you've got a ready to go blueprint that was used for 2000 other houses, a bunch of drug addicts or mexicans sloppily pounding a cheap frame together, and a bunch of standardized crap for the rest of the house.
You seem to think you can just call up a construction company, demand they lower their prices, and then get a whole custom project banged together in a couple days. You're obsessed with the cost of materials as if that's the only cost, but materials alone are usually a comparatively small part of any major home construction project.
I almost feel ashamed that I spent this much time justifying the cost of a moronic Star Wars home theater, but it drives me nuts when people think design is cheap. The absolute worst fricking clients are the ones who think they can just negotiate whatever the hell price they want.
>REE GRAPHIC DESIGN COST $200+ /hr???
>That's our rate
Inevitably these cheap frickers try to get you to do it at something flat out insulting 1/4 the price or even free because "you'll get exposure, you'll get lots of referrals!" After more attempts at haggling, they throw down the "WELL I'LL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT DOESN'T CHARGE AN ARM AND A LEG." Good fricking riddance.
Two months later you see their logo/sign/whatever and it's some absolute dogshit that their cousin or some other idiot who doesn't know what they're doing threw together. Sometimes, they decided to do it themselves and used a Bitmoji of their face or something equally awful. These sorts of people are inevitably horrible clients if they actually do agree to pay.
No. You are wrong. There is no way that shit cost 1 million.
300k would be less than 2000 sqft of structure with today's prices, boomer.
probably around 1400sqft if living in a climate zone requiring building with consideration to hurricane/heavy flooding
The point though, is you can easily build your own HT and have it function the same or better than this. Granted it won't look like a star wars ship with tiered seating. But the sound and visuals will be on par...all for like 5k.
No, it's nothing to do with cheaper and shittier. If you commission ANYTHING, and accept the first price you're given, you have been scammed.
EVERY person who makes a living on commissioned work will throw out absurd prices when asked for a quote, because most of the time morons with no conception of what things are worth will just say "ok".
There's a reason businesses negotiate prices. Even getting a house built, you need to negotiate prices down. Same for any construction. Getting a car. There are dozens of people involved in a project like this that WILL fleece the shit out of you.
>No, it's nothing to do with cheaper and shittier. If you commission ANYTHING, and accept the first price you're given, you have been scammed.
I work in graphic design. Potential-clients who want to haggle over price like they're trading in some sort of arab bazaar are guaranteed to be horrible clients. The only clients we give discounted rates to are large clients we regularly work with.
There are cheaper graphic designers out there. There are dirt cheap options like family and friends. If someone doesn't want to pay our rates, we're happy for them to be someone else's problem.
Funniest was when a potential client went somewhere else and we found out a year later that they need a new logo because they'd gotten a cease and desist letter for using the Hardee's star.
>implying this gay even has 12 friends and family
this is fricking cool and if you deny it you're a SEETHING poorgay
oh my fricking lord.
That's a pretty damn big room. I bet most of the money was for building a room just for the theatre.
The throne chair doesn't even look comfortable.
it looks too cheap and toy like especially for that cost. But I would never want a gimmick, franchise themed theatre anyway.

Why are people so obsessed with these kid's movies from the 70's?
Because they filter pseudointellectual manchildren like yourself
Please tell me what about those movies is so profound that it filters dummies?
It’s a deep geopolitical saga that explores the many dualities of the good and evil (Jedi and the Sith, Luke and Vader, etc) through a Taoist-Jungian lens. It’s shocking that audiences actually had an appetite for such sophisticated fare.
Kek
It exists to sell merchandise and licensing. It’s juvenile, trite soulless shit with focus group-honed mass appeal to the nostalgia-addicted materialist-consumer dregs. Of course you love it, this isn’t coincidental: you are among the cultivated demographics and part of the allure is thinking you’re part of a community and have a deep love for something so profound few “get it”. That’s also not coincidental.
The truth is, you will never be a woman.
It’s literally a western-martial arts fusion movie set in space that has evolved into what it is today with an absurd amount of layering on of retcons and storylines and characters written by god knows how many actors. It’s a convoluted mess and only an autistic man child could be impressed by such trash.
Do consoomer npcs have self-awareness? Of course not.
The appeal of Star Wars is pretty much that it's giving the audience all of the stuff they want. in terms of it being a good old fashioned morality tale, with religious undertones, and allusions to to world culture, but any direct connection to those things is severed, so the audience doesn't feel lost or alienated if they personally aren't a Christian, or know nothing about Eastern spirituality, or Samurai codes, or whatever.
Effectively, yeah. It's a franchise for the ignorant and uneducated(and Atheists who still really want to be religious somewhere deep down in their minds), but it's very good at being that particular thing.
>Atheists who still really want to be religious somewhere deep down in their minds
I think you’re absolutely right about this.
NTA but I personally have come to the conclusion that the entire modern far/radical left is basically this psychology. The typical screaming pink haired marxist-feminist type, is the same basic psychology as the prohibitionist, the abolitionist, and the radical puritan. These people have lost their religious extremism and replaced it with political and ideological extremism because it's the only thing that allows them to feel something like religious indignation and moral justice. There's lots of useful idiots and NPCs on the Left as well but the truly radical leftoids are unironically closer mentally to fundamentalist/extremist Christians or Muslims than to anything else.
Interesting theory and I can see it’s merit. Similar to those same people treating science like religion (as we saw during COVID, where contradicting or even questioning the narrative was blasphemy).

This is pure moronation, those lights kill the contrast, incident light kills contrast.
One would imagine the decorative lights are turned off while a movie is playing.
I doubt that they do, they invested money in it after all.
That would be EXTREMELY moronic. Both ways are a waste of money, but that's the worse waste.
I don't doubt that they do man. So many anons here were amazed when told that if you watch movies with the light shut off you actually get a better experience due to how the technology is limited on the contrast side.
At best, most normies watch with a dim light.
I had to explain it to my mom and a boomer as well and they conceded that there's a difference but that they didn't think about it.
I know normies do this, but as much as home theater bufs are subhuman, they are not normies. I refuse to believe they do soundproofing and lightproofing and shit but don't know about turning off the lights.
That $1 million could have been spent having a lot of white babies. Not THIS guy's babies, but, you know.
>Designs theater after Star Wars
>Names it after a mid horror film
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
All Star Wars fans deserve death.
I'm beginning to agree
How is that $1M? Unless maybe he is including the real estate in the cost and he lives in San Fran or something. The custom construction there should be <$100k. High end commercial cinema equipment should be <$200k. So where is the other $700k?
The custom work for the wall detailing and running the light system would spiral in cost very quickly.
I would literally make that entire thing (except the cost of electronics) for like $5k.
Giving effeminate JavaScript "programmers" money was a huge mistake.

i haven't bought a tv in almost a decade and just can't justify it. its 4k and i still don't have content for it. have they improved at all?
4K but there's still a bunch of artifacts from video compression
Just bought a 65 inch LCD for 1k
Was gonna get 50 inch but realised 65 is bigger and therefore better
Just decently bought a 65" LG C2 OLED and it's pretty amazing.
Bought the 65” CX three years ago and love it. First 4k HDR screen. Used it for a monitor for the first few months while playing through Cyberpunk. Planning on getting a 55” C2 or C3 this winter for a monitor. They’re great screens.
Just things like Dolby Vision and filmmaker mode are so good, not having to piss about with colour settings and worrying about whether the settings are just right is great.
Could have benefitted from being a Google TV because I'd have liked the option of Steam Link or Moonlight to stream games from my PC but I've got an Nvidia Shield so it's not much of a big deal.
>I'm a physics buff
is that just a guy that watches physics videos. i do that and don't comprehend them, does that make me a physics buff? is that what i'm supposed to be doing? just exaggerating everything i do so people like me?
Yes, that would make you a "buff". Not a physicist.
It's an honest statement.
Just memorize a couple of science facts, like for instance that event horizon is the point past which light can't escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, then get really excited about it when you explain it, imagine the excitement of a hyperactive child mixed with a basedface with its mouth wide enough for ten Black person wieners, then multiply that by ten, that's what you're aiming for. Then apply it as a """clever""" name to reddit consoomer trash you waste your money on, like if you a home theater that's black, call it Event Horizon(GET IT?) then go into a long explanation about it when you have guests over(never), preferably while huffing your own farts.
>watches Tom Scott videos
I'm something of a scientist myself.
I would go all out if I was rich. Ive got just a 65 inch 4k TV and two tower speakers, thats good enough for me. I rarely go to the cinema anymore.
Home theaters are the cringiest things in the world. You’re better off making a comfy living room with a huge tv and surround sound instead of forcing guests to go to your theater to watch anything.

Women have bothered their husbands for centuries. In fact all the sad shit you spew is just another version of "wife bad' from the boomers, only now you direct it at all women instead of specific ones.
These guys are the same as audiophile guys. They spend absurd amounts of money getting the perfect state of the art set up and then use it to watch the Moana and avatar 2 on twice per year. Similar to audiophiles spending moron money to listen to the beatles who recorded their music on a tin can. They always have the shittiest of taste. Mostly because the hobby for them is more about the technical side of things than the media itself. these are usually rich guys looking for ways to get in to some surrogate activity in order to occupy their time for a while. They dont really give two shits about cinema.
When i move out of home i'll probably have a barebones cinema room. Having a projector/screen is 100% the best way to get a huge picture and you can get a relatively good used projector for 200-300 gbp used. If you wanna go 4k, perhaps 600-700. Current one i have is 1080 and looks pretty great. Its great for gaming too.
My opinion is that "good enough" in a cinema room is still a better experience than 99% of people watching films. Which you could get done with a cheap 5.1 AV set up with 4x cheap bookshelf speakers attached, a cheap projector screen and a used projector from ebay. Perhaps because im a poorgay, but thats my mindset. One thing i would splash out on is a good chair.
Most of the time you’re way better off just getting a stereo for sound. Stereo works fine in almost all settings, is flexible, and easy to set up. Surround sound is a pain in the ass to set up, doesn’t work well in a lot of rooms, and is more expensive. Don’t even get me started in those horrible “home theater in a box” things. They’re often worse than just using your tv’s built in speakers.
Just buy an 65"+ OLED. Projectors fricking suck and you know it.
65 + inch OLEDs are incredibly expensive. Did you not read the part where i said im a poorgay?
A projector is also scaleable. So if i get a bigger room to put it in, i can get 100+ inches on the screen, which you cant do with an OLED.
>My opinion is that "good enough" in a cinema room is still a better experience than 99% of people watching films.

Anon you aren't thinking like a poorgay. You are thinking in business terms of what we call the "cost to performance" ratio. The cheapest you can make something while getting the max performance possible.
You can usually achieve 80% to 90% the performance of top end home theaters with an affordable budget. But it's that last 10% that is insanely expensive to achieve.
For example, You can see it in computer prices. If you were to price out a custom computer on a website that builds computers, it's usually the top 3 items in every category that are crazy expensive. But if you go down a few notches (from the top) the price suddenly becomes very affordable for that component.
That's the same thing with home theaters. You could pick a crazy expensive projector for tens of thousands of dollars. Or you could get something cheaper for about 1K or even less. It's still a very good projector and does the job. The absolute top end is crazy expensive for only a 10% boost at most.
>The absolute top end is crazy expensive for only a 10% boost at most.
Or it's worse.
In that vid he isn't cringing because he's listening to his family being murdered or whatever, its because he's an audiophile autists and those headphones cost 2750 bucks because they're made out of ethiopian goat skin but they sound like shit.

>th..th..these guys aren't even real movie buffs like me!!!
im not knocking the guys for spending a lot on their cinema rooms. If i had the money i'd have one in a heartbeat. They look great. Im just pointing out that the effect of their set-up can be replicated for much less on a budget. The other point being that the culture revolving around these set ups online is more about the hardware for these guys than it actually is about being in to movies. Its a generalization, im sure there are some guys out there who have 100k cinema rooms like this and are big in to film but browse an of the A/V forums or whatever the amount these guys spend on their cinema room is not proportional to their knowledge of film.
as an example. The guy has a 235k cinema room and his favourite films seem to be the mummy, spiderman, batman begins and the matrix from what i can see of the posters. Theres nothing wrong with that, none of them are even particularly bad films other than batman begins but the guy is obviously not watching anything beyond the modern blockbusters. These guys are more bothered about the wiring in their A/V system than they are the latest kino.
Actually there's a frickton wrong with being a swinish philistine who wastes thousands of money on his masturbatory hobby rather than helping the poor or at the bare minimum using the money for something vaguely socially useful
If you spend 1 million dollars on a home theater, and all you watch on it is Star Wars, put a gun in your fricking mouth.
This is so accurate. I worked with an audiophile guy for a while and he had incredibly shitty taste in music and movies.
>B-but... it's subjective..!!!
It wasn't. I get there's some leeway when it comes to personal taste. Even though I think reggae is moronic mindless repetitive weed music that sounds the same, I still understand that it has merit in some vague sense. And so on with all the major music genres. But this guy just listened to the blandest electronic music. Painful.
where do i use my good boy points to get a projector?
Every hobby has the uber gearheads who are basically just consoomers addicted to dopamine bursts from buying things. They might do a lot of research on brands and what fellow hobbyists consider the best, but their actual knowledge and skill set is usually low, they just buy their way to the top.
I’ve seen this in everything: golf, cars, paintball, aquariums, scuba diving, climbing hell even gardening and hunting. These people all have the same mentality.
>the same as audiophile guys
As an audiophile, you are correct. However, I don't care, I like it, frick you. Now rent your music, b***h boy.
Shut the frick up you ignorant autist. Your taste is shit tier.
>Lamborghini are temperamental
Lmao Lambos haven't been temperamental since the 90's, they are probably the safest and normiest supercars today
I love the posters and the look of the room but again, how the frick is this so expensive? These richgays get gouged on everything and people think they can never have anything like this but you can achieve 90+% of the same thing with a big tv/projector, comfy chair and decent speakers for 1-5% of the cost
a fool and his money are great friends with another fool and his money, and heaping amounts of their money goes back and forth all the time while all you can do is watch
The highest end projector on the market is $80k.Im presuming the guy has that or something similar, as well as top end audio equipment, top end projector screen and then 6x of those chairs and remodeling the room. Even then im not sure how he managed to spend $285k. Perhaps he hired a contractor to sort the whole thing and paid a premium on top of material costs? Seems stupid and wasteful and takes away half of the fun of building a personalized cinema room but thats all i can come up with for that kidn of money.
All that money and his wife still tells him how he can or can't spend it to the point where he has to name things after being money cucked

I used to be one of these guys. But nowadays my dream set-up is a media room with a < 85" television which is designed from the beginning to be inviting and comfortable instead of an autistic pit of darkness with a 200" screen.
Are there places that rent laser projectors and screens? I'm considering buying a set but would like a real try out in my space, not a demo setup somewhere like Best Buy.
reant-a-center probably
Rent a Center usually rents low quality products. It's where people spend an ungodly amount of money to get a TV through some rent-to-own deal because they can't afford to buy a TV like a normal person. They're unlikely to have high quality gear to rent, but you could call them to check.
Some high end A/V stores will do in home demos. Their gear may be ungodly expensive and out of your price range though.
Just checked, RaC only has four models of projectors and none of them are laser. I'm probably stuck with getting a demo from an AV store.
Can you imagine the first masturbation session in one of these rooms?
>light cannot escape
Brilliant. I get annoyed when I'm watching a movie in my living room and all the light escapes out the door or the curtains.
One year of planning and three of fricking construction to get that tiny gay ass screen, what the frick is wrong with that Mike homosexual?

Dude is probably tripping balls in there. I don't think it makes sense unless you're going for some sort of psychedelic experience in there.
I went to a Ryoji Ikeda concert years ago. The audience was seated in a converted church, usually host go jazz musicians and chamber ensembles, facing supposedly the largest speaker stack in Europe in absolute pitch black whilst Ikeda fired out his frequency bleep tones and noise bursts at an immense volume. It was incredibly intense and psychedelic experience.
after thinking about it for a while, i think I want to build a chamber for taking psychedelics. Matte black walls, a bed to lay on, a sink for drinking water/pissing, air circulation, and a very loud sound system for playing soundscapes or instrumental music. no screens. probably $300 plus the cost of the mushrooms.
When I was a poorgay in college living in a shitty rundown house with stoner roomates, we had one closet just big enough for one person to sit in. We covered the inside with cheap noise isolation panels, took out the light, threw in a cheap ass speaker, and threw some blacklight posters and a blacklight, to make a cheap ass psyche cave. It was incredibly based, at least until one of the roomies destroyed it during a bad trip by punching holes in everything and vomiting all over it.
sounds awesome
anyone who hasn't used psychedelics in a dark room is missing a totally unique experience
Getting gang raped by a pack of angry Black folk would also be a unique experience
Right you are, Ken
Underrated
Reminder that all anti-home theater threads are astroturfed by upset studio shills trying to goad people into paying movie theater tickets again after the losses from the strikes
If I was to have a home theatre, I'd make it look like the Enterprise D bridge.
I would want a big comfy space with a couch or two, some lounge chairs, and a bed so I could go to sleep if the movie sucked
Also at least half the time I would use it to watch sports

Everyone should announce what country they are from. I’m from America
America isn't a country moron. Im from Africa.
They're bored. The rabbit hole of techbros is never being able to relax and enjoy a movie without overthinking sound, colors, and black levels, ever again.

>still uses a projector instead of an OLED screen
It's like this guy spent all that money to spite on movies in general.
I don't really like to watch movies with other people
I want a bunch of weird rooms in my house
If I had a home greater I would make it look like Rainforest Cafe. Every hour minutes there's an ear shredding fake thunderstorm simulation that interrupts the movie.
i would recreate the tiki room from disneyland
they never stop singing as long as youre in there. raising the volume of the movie also raises the volume of the birds and tikis
here. That sounds comfy. Honestly, my living room would be a combo of 90's Manhattan bachelor pad & the family rooms from Home Improvement & Full House.
Late 20th century furniture with earth tones, a tasteful mixture of modern & robust with 90's state of the art electronics, accompanied by warm lighting.
This is the last post of me derailing the thread with me talking about the home I can never have.
>yeah i just really wanted to have a fricking garden in my living room, you know?
indoor plants; especially large/tropical ones, are kino and make any room look better.
Is picrel from the carousel of progress?
What's your dream home theatre?
For me, it's a 1990's upper middle class living room with a home entertainment center, with a big screen CRT, & players for VHS, DVD, CDs & vinyl records. When not watching classic kinos, I'm jamming to The Rippingtons on stereo while doing house work.
Don't think I'd use that carpeting, though.
>carpeting
Living in my first apartment and the first thing I wanted to buy for it before I even knew where it would be was a green shag rug. I have it now and it's as glorious as I'd imagined it would be, but it's starting to mindbreak me. I'm mostly relying on inherited furniture from grandparents, so it's becoming all to easy to transform this very modern apartment into a midcentury hellscape/paradise. I feel like I could buy a slatted walnut entertainment center at any moment.

HOLY FRICKING SHIT, this is perfect, thanks.

You got it.
nice posts. reckon i'll become a 90sphile
Home entertainment center furniture always looked so tacky.

Back in the 90s I was looking all over for Chandler and Joey's entertainment center from Friends but could never find it. I'm assuming it was a one-off design.
Forget personal kinoplexs. Listening rooms is where the real autism resides.

>sizemogs your LG
In practicality nobody can even tell the difference between muh inky blacks or perfect color anyway. Especially in day to day use. You've been sold the latest tech gimmick that gives nothing more than marginal gain in image quality compared to the previous tech.
The only place where an oled really is worth it is for gaming because of how well they tend to handle motion, although this may just be more an effect of them being high end devices which have RnD poured in to all aspects of them, than OLED tech itself.
A huge picture is still the most immersive and important factor in watching a film. Everything else is secondary.
If 100+ oleds werent $10 grand + then i'd agree with you but a 65 inch tv just cant compare, no matter how good the image quality.
>size
just go closer to your screen? Its the same resolution and that matters more than size.
After 55 inch size doesn't matter.
>just go closer to the screen
I was watching Avatar 2 on my PS4 VR goggles earlier and it was fun. Thank you based Cameron for pushing Disney to release the 3D version in America for a change.
Based projectorchad. It's all about immersion. I don't care how sharp the screen on your phone is, you will never be immersed. Which would you rather watch - a 720p movie on a 100-inch screen, or an ultraHD flick on a 10-inch screen? Enough said. Same applies to surround sound on basic speakers vs super-high-fidelity headphones. Despite what women will tell you, size really does matter.
As an artist I personally can’t stand OLEDs because they seem to blow out and oversaturate all colours. I’ll live without darker black happily for good colour accuracy.
That’s cope
you're getting the piss filter whether you like it or not
for $1000 that has to be the 42 inch version which is a bit small for a TV, the bigger ones ramp up really quickly if I recall
> nobody can even tell the difference between muh inky blacks or perfect color anyway
I use a 42" LG OLED as a desk monitor and can easily tell the difference between that and my other $1Kish 4K 32" LG monitor. However I'm much closer and can compare I suppose. I didn't buy it for movies though, not enough 4K content to justify it.
>can easily tell the difference between that and my other $1Kish 4K 32" LG monitor
that's my point. In day to day use you arent sat there contrasting and comparing your screen to another anyway, so things like contrast and colour accuracy arent really that paramount for enjoying a film or game because the contrast and colour accuracy is already pretty damn good on other tech. I would say between the two, contrast is the most important but in a blacked out room percieved contrast on projectors is pretty good anyway. Same goes for modern LCD/LED screens, with the suped up features like local dimming and microled, dual layer lcd etc. While contrast and color accuracy isnt perfect on these devices, it is still pretty damn good and the difference betwen OLED and other technologies is marginal in day to day use, browsing desktop/internet, watching films, playing games to the point where most people wouldnt even notice it.
yeah I'm not wow'd massively by it in regular use, I can see it's blacker than my other monitor but my other monitor's blacks still feel decent enough to me. Maybe some exceptions like space games where the contrast can really shine.
The one thing I can't go back from is 4K really. And obviously the old washed out panels of old, but pretty sure even the cheapest shit is at least IPS now.
I built my own screen and found a high end projector on FB marketplace, all for 400$. Laptop as the "receiver" and some 50$ bookshelf speakers is all you need. Just moved into a house where I don't have space for it and going back to a TV sucks
you got space if you don't care if your setup looks moronic
If I had that much spare space and money, I'd buy several arcade machines and a pool table, and I'd be a lot happier than these people.
What is so fascinating about pretending you're in a movie theatre? You're watching the same movie as everyone else.
For me it's the kino pipes
I have a 4K projector onto ambient light rejecting material and hooked up to a 9.2 Dolby Atmos setup. Plex/Nvidia Shield for AI upscale and PS5 for UHD Blu-Rays
Cost me $12-15,000 furniture and sound dampening materials included. Love it. Seethe poors.
None of these 'home theaters' will ever be as comfy as pic related
Any reason why I shouldn't just buy a PS5+PSVR2 to watch kino? I know you can also do it on the Quest 2, but I want to be able to watch my blu-ray collection with a headset as well.
i tried watching DUNC on an oculus quest 2 and it gave me a headache after around 20 mins. It also isnt quite the same as actually having a big screen in front of you because you're still limited by the actual resolution of the headset, the scale doesnt feel the same and focus uniformity on VR headsets is dogshit so you're constantly straining your eyes. The film looked blurry, shimmered. It just didnt look right.
I know PSVR2 is higher res and better but i think you will most likely get the same problems.
i still play games on a 2011 samsung tv.

This is what you actually want if you desire watching television and film with other people.
Things you do not want
>mini fridge
puts out heat in the viewing room, takes up space. Just get up and walk to kitchen for a soda.
>framed movie posters
cliché, distracting
>vintage popcorn machine
Try-hard. Makes too much of an event of the getting ready to watch. Microwave popcorn arguably more soulful.
All you need is a big screen, a 1080p 3LCD projector, and a pair of stereo speakers with decent low end. Anything else is cope.
japs have only just started using 1080p so guess for your use case that's okay
rate my setup, guys
I would give everything to be able to frick 90's Daphne.
I wouldn't have the room to install one
Projectors have amazing great contrast ratio, he did a good job.
He also has to wear black tho.
>classic theater look
>actually has a large family to fit and enjoy the theater
>has frick you money
This one is acceptable enough.
has a large family to fit and enjoy the theater
lol they're not his. And he watches DVDs on it.
Wait who the frick are those kids then?
His friends/extended family.
Oh I mean that's fine then. He has enough people to come to his compound and watch movies.
>he watches DVDs on it.
So?
>soundproofing
confirmed serial killer
25$ (good) headphones + good virtualization, opensource like HeSuVi or w/e paid shit there exists would beat that setup.
Home theater gays are pathetic. To invest that much effort simply to be a passive consumer of other peoples shit - and make no mistake, television is mostly shit.
Men of action like myself have only scorn for bellycrawlers like this

Man, those green chairs are beat to shit
fricking hell the poos are even invading home theatre threads now
does he really need that?
How can you experience hair loss and then waste money on this shit do you have any self respect at all?
>dedicating an entire room to the goybox
kanye mogs everybody on planet earth
I'm not even in my thirties and I already feel a strong sense of dread when I do decide to revisit some of the old movies and games I liked when I was a kid - and I'm just streaming from my Jellyfin server with high bitrate BDRips and some decent bookshelf speakers.
Imagine the feeling of sunken cost being in your fricking 40s or 50s and just finishing up this serial killer-looking home theater setup, only to sit down and watch fricking... Star Wars? Imagine that slow feeling of dread creeping up as you realize "wow, either I got older or this movie kind of sucks." Imagine sitting in that dark room, alone, remembering that you are slowly dying one second at a time and the good years are past while the twilight years are only drifting closer...
But at least you finally built that sick setup you've always wanted
Anons...
When I make it.
Please make sure I never do this.
I would rather light $1,000,000 USD on fire in front of the Federal Reserve and come what may.
