I plan on showing the old intermission cartoons. My friend is really into video editing and making videos and I had him convert one of those videos to a format that I could play on my computer. I found a company that sells popcorn machines that are actually american made and I think I want to get one. Will have to save up for it though but I have read the reviews online for it and have not found a single negative one anywhere so I think it would be a good one. Need to get a drink machine too. That would be pretty cool I think.

Glad everything is coming together!! Will need to get the DVD. Thanks for the heads up Bubba.
I've watched a few of the movies on the DVD and "politically correct", they are not but great fun.

Finally got a screen today. I am not 100% sure of the size but I did measure the length of the screen and it is around 96" long. Went online and found out that if I were to buy it new from the company it would cost about $400. I got it through from a university that was selling some surplus stuff on craigslist for $50. Only problem now is I need to build some kind of stand to hook the screen to that needs to be strong enough to hold 60-70 pounds. Also going to see about asking my machining instructor about getting a stand built by the welding department at school. Not sure if they will do it but it is worth a shot.

You may be able to build a frame with 1" electrical tubing. Bungie or tie the screen to the frame. Then need a way to hang/support it.

Would 1" electrical tubing be able to support 70 pounds? The screen I have is a pretty big pull down screen.

I thought it was just a screen material.. If its a pull down, that may be tough.

My first setup was a motorized screen.. its a 90" screen and fairly heavy. I mounted it on the swingset.. Not sure if you have any free standing objects in the yard to mount to...
