Thanks for the compliments guys. I've had my HT for a few years now, but I keep adding some new elements.
Yes, it is a vending machine -- a Skybox -- but I created a new overlay for the front which is a montage of some of my favorite movies. I included a close-up below.

Hi Bob:
Very nice set-up.
(I worked on the Shrek movies, so I'm happy to see the ogre's face in your Skybox!)
Hey, I see that you've joined the HD-DVD revolution. Any chances of joining the Blu-Ray one as well?

As for Blu-Ray, I have very little interest. In fact, I would prefer it just go away but that's obviously wishful thinking.

I'm one of the character animators for them - make the characters move and dance.
Hey, with Blu-Ray, wouldn't you open up the door to so many other HD movies? Like all the Fox, Sony, Disney flicks?
You seem to embrace HD-DVD so well - I just started my HD-DVD collection a month ago, but already I feel like I'm missing out on the Spider-Man, Die Hard, Bond flicks in HD.....
What do you think?

Also, one more question....What DVD's are on the opposite wall shelf?

Nice setup Bob. It's rare that you see a CRT projector anymore. How often do you have to ISF calibrate that bad boy?
Also, nice poster and popcorn machine, I like your tastes

With the format war I don't believe in the "neutral" stance at this point, as I am very happy with HD DVD and have plenty to buy. My belief is when HD DVD players hit the million mark, then 2 million, etc, studios will need to release their movies on that format. I don't like the politics behind Blu-Ray, the lack of any up-to-date players besides a videogame console, the higher price tag, and the arrogant BS from Mike Dunn, Bob Chapek and Andy Parsons. I will stick with HD DVD until I have no other choice.
As for the other movie rack, here's a picture below. The right side has the continuation of drama, sci-fi/fantasy, thrillers, and Disney / family titles.

That's cool! I'm a Dreamworks employee.

Is the Skybox actually stocked with soda?

I actually am qualified to calibrate it myself. I purchased it brand new from Dwin nearly 8 years ago for $12K and it still has a perfect image. It doesn't get used that often and has few hours on it.
BTW, I like your tastes as well! Great minds think alike, as they say!

Just kidding -- there aren't any out there that I want other than a few more imports that are on my Xmas list.

I'm on Madagascar 2 right now.
What I can tell is what's already been announced in the press: the zoosters escape from Madagascar in a plane, but crash land in Africa. Adventure ensues!
I'm sitting here working on it on one computer monitor and staring at your home theater pics on the other monitor.

Do you have more shelving for future DVD purchases?
