will work just fine for all but the largest of living rooms or family rooms.

And a small movie theater is bigger than any fifteen or twenty living
rooms put together.

Just give him time. He'll eventually produce episodes 7-9 as he
originally planned to do.

Georgie don't have to make any movies, it's JUST a hobby for him.

He got out of movies and into support: special effects and sound.
Probably 2 out of 3 movies you watch use his services.

PS what's your hobby ?

Stop right there. This is incredibly wrong. Analog has limited
resolution, just like digital. EVERYTHING physical has limited
resolution. Infinite resolution is equivalent to perpetual motion.

Both film and video use discrete samples over time, with rather poor
sample rates at that.

Film makers have been messing with film formats for decades. Besides
the triple camera/projector Cinerama experiment, there is 70mm wide
screen (still seen at super cinemas), anamorphic wide screen, often used
to strike 70mm prints, or just projected through an anamorphic lens from
a 35mm print, super 35, and of course, the Super 70 IMAX format, that
turns 70mm on its side and shoots a frame 7 cm high and 15 sprocket pins
wide, while moving the sound track off of the film onto a synchronized
35mm tape.

I imagine we have seen the last of the film innovations, but digital
innovations are just getting started. Digital processing will
eventually offer a viewing experience not available in theaters. When
that happens, the multiplexes will be hard put to survive.

Oh, I think they'll do just fine. By putting in large digital screens.
