You’ve been to the movie palaces of Los Angeles, many of which have been restored to the wonderful look and feel that they had in the 1920s, when the only sound that came with movies was generated by a keyboard players who followed a score sheet written to accompany whatever film happened to be featured on any given night.

Cinema was a different entity in those days, and many fans of that high point of Hollywood’s past are regretful that the sumptuous settings where the great films of Western world unreeled are still difficult to find, especially if you don’t live particularly close to Tinsel Town.

So what can you do if you’ve got a hankering for a plush, comfortable movie house that shows the kind of cinema that you most want to see, and you live in strip mall land?

Well, first of all you can resolve to forgo the local cinemaplex occasionally, with its chewed bubblegum floors and its rodent infested rest rooms, and instead take in a recent cinema masterpiece in the cut-rate comfort of your own place of residence.

But how could my home possibly equal the majesty of those old time temples to ...
... the gods of cinema that the big movie houses used to be? If you never made it to the Million Dollar Theater back in the day when a million dollars was a million dollars, you can construct the equivalent in the spare room you normally use for Thursday evening pinochle.

Elite home theater furniture will send you over the moon when you have it installed in place of the card table. It will begin to give your home rumpus room an entirely new character. Before you know it, you’ll begin to feel like Sid Grauman, and you’ll sense that your newly developed media room is the modern-day equivalent of the Chinese Theater over on Hollywood Boulevard.

If that’s where your intuition takes you, think about redoing the sidewalk in front of your home with new slabs of freshly poured concrete, in which you and your family members can leave your footprints and signatures for posterity. However, be mindful that your municipal public works department might take a dim view of your actions to re-engineer the public right of way.

Yes, it’s truly refreshing to contemplate what the installation of elite home theater chairs might mean to your home, your family and your very lifestyle. With a brand new recreations and media room under your roof, you may begin to feel that your home has morphed from being just another bungalow on the block, to the Thunder Dome of motion picture magic.

The transformation will likely leave you and your neighbors astonished, which could be a good way to make a big impression on the locals, and could make you the most popular guy on the block.
