When it comes to home theater design and setup, rarely do we see much thought given to the best methods for storing our software media. By this, I mean being able to show off your movie library while still keeping to the design of your space in a way that’s both appealing and inviting to your guests. After spending a great deal of time buying the right equipment and creating the desired look for your entertainment area (which may or may not include the seating arrangement), the last thing you should have is a disorganized, confused mess in your DVD and Blu-ray collection. Ideally, you want to be able to find a disc in matter of a few seconds without requiring an archeological dig in order to have a relaxing movie night.

Today’s movie soundtracks, especially the action and sci-fi movies that we home theater buffs just can’t get enough of, often have very wide dynamic range with powerful, hard-hitting bass. The physical sensation of that bass, the thump you feel in your gut during a big explosion, is a key part of what makes the experience so compelling. In the quest to reproduce this, many HT owners add more and bigger subwoofers to their equipment chains, much to the consternation of their spouses and neighbors (and to the detriment of their wallets). What many people don’t realize, or may mistakenly dismiss due to misunderstanding of the purpose, is the benefit of adding a tactile transducer (aka a bass shaker) to a seat.

Welcome to another edition of Posterizing, where we take a look at recently released movie posters and reflect on how much we’d all love to have a giant room devoted to them.

Movie posters are a big part of the movie business, and over the years have transformed into collectors’ items. Sure, some of the standard floating head posters do nothing more than showcase the stars involved with the movies. Still, other times posters have the ability to become works of art, pieces worthy of being framed and hung in any cinema lover’s theater room. In our new recurring feature called “Posterizing,” we’ll highlight interesting posters and discuss what they hopefully say about their movies.
