How about just watching the movies that you really enjoy anyway in the HT environment?

Recently I got the full HT setup. I never invested much in any of this stuff but once I started I did it in a pretty big (for me at least) way - basically some B & W speakers, bigger TV, DVD etc. Anyway, I now enjoy movies, "art" though they may be, so much more. About 50 to 65% of what I watch is probably classified as art in the US and the rest is a mix of science fiction, Arnold Schwarzneggar, Julia Roberts, etc. but the home theatre setup benefits all of it and I have not changed my viewing mix at all.

Actually, come to think of it, I have watched more of the classic art moveis recently than ever before because of the availability of hard to find ones through the internet.

Anyway, as a firm believer in the benefits of technology and as one who tries to encourage his employees to adopt newer stuff without fears, I have to say that I like most of the advances of today.

So, my point is that you should not worry. I think once the two week love affair with your HDTV wears off you will be back to enjoying what you really like. BUT, if you end up watching this newly discovered genre and enjoying it more (or else why would one be motivated to watch it) LET YOURSELF GO. There is nothing sacred about watching one kind of movie over another - this from an art movie lover like yourself.

I could barely believe it - I even found Tintin videos and a lot Asterix too (dont know whether anyone is familiar with these things but anyway...

Anyways, Victor, hope you dont take any offense (the internet interpretation of comments is sometimes aggravating to some) since I benefit much from your knowledge about movies on this forum though I dont always have much time to post.

Cheers!! And remember, movies, theatre, etc. etc. are all for entertainment too.
