Old Timers...Remember "Rules of my Home Theater"?
Way back in the early days of DVDTalk, some put together a document titled "Rules of my Home Theater".
It included some rules like....
"If there is even an option, we always choose widescreen (insert a witty comment)"
"Absolutely no talking during the movie (insert witty comment)"
"If your cell phone rings, I will break it."
I am probably way off but you get the idea. I used to have a copy saved on my computer but am now at a loss for where it may be.
I searched the forum and the archives and couldn't find anything.
If nothing else I would like to see how well those rules held up over time.
If anyone has a copy or can find them on DVDTalk, I would appreciate it. And I am sure the newbs should be introduced to them as well.

sort of, I guess.
I am surprised that no one remembers this yet. It was originally something on HTF but made its way over here.
It was a very funny, and very true (don't ask me why there are black bars!) list of rules.
I had originally printed them out and posted them on my wall, but one move and about 6 years later, I have no clue where they are.
I searched everywhere, including here, for them. Surprised no one knows either what I am even talking about or where to find them.
