A while ago, I decided that I wanted my bedroom to serve not only as a living quarter, but as a make shift home theater. In my apartment the ability to condense is a necessity; it's tiny in there(Really. It redefines the term Home Theater in a box.) After the last speaker was mounted, and my DVDs alphabetized, I noticed that my "theater" room still felt a bit empty. It wasn't until a friend of mine, who works at a local movie theater, started collecting what are known in the industry, as one sheets, that I noticed just how bare my walls were. These one sheets, which are more affectionately referred to as lobby cards (we've all seen them at our local cinemas adorning the corridors between that lead us from our refreshments to our seats), are hype-machines in a box. Framed behind glass and lit from behind, with golden rays mind you, these posters inspire and provoke curiosity among otherwise passive moviegoers. It's fun to take a closer look and marvel at the detail and fine Photoshop work. I have my own fledgeling, if ever expanding, collection started. As should anyone interested in recreating the feel of the cinema.
