How Many Can You Seat + TV?

[Ash]

A friend help me carry my TV up the stairs.  Unfortunately, I was the one who had to go up backwards.  There are no handholds on the bottom of it, just sharp plastic edges.  It's not an easy TV to carry.

Here's my sound system.
It's a Sony DVD Dream System.



It's awesome!  Sounds just as good as any movie theater I've ever been in.

For me it would depend on what room the movies would be watched in.  If in our living room, then I would probably say at least 4 anyone who sits on the couch wants some space, 5 if they don't mind that, and 6 if I would bring a fold out chair into the room.

The TV is a 48 inch Mitsubishi TV that has a CNN burn on the bottom of it.  You only really notice it if you watch something that either goes white for a bit or has white on the bottom. 

If the movies would be watched in my mom's room, then I would say 3, if two people don't mind sitting on the love seat and one off to the side, and 4 if I would move the chair from my mom's desk so that someone could watch beside the love seat.  Her TV is a 36 inch (I think it's the right size) Sony Flat Screen.  Though this may not always be the best choice since her room is quite small and the TV is fairly close to the furniture and throws off a lot of heat.

I have a 60 inch Sony TV (not a high-def, flatscreen . . . I have one of the bigger, bulky ones from about 10 years ago . . . I'm waiting for it to die so I can buy an upgrade).

My family room is set up with the TV, digital surround sound, a sectional that comfortably seats 5 or 6 people, and a bar that seats 6 (well, 7 if you count the bartender).

So, I could comfortably seat about a dozen people.  If we wanted, we could squeeze 1 or 2 more onto the sectional and 4 or 5 people could sit on the floor.  So, we're looking at about 18 - 20 people, but some of them might not be super comfortable.

Well let's see upstairs we have a 25 inch Zenith TV in our living room...and we can seat 6 comfortably. Downstairs we have a 42" widescreen TV and can seat 4 comfortably. In my bedroom, I also have a 25 inch Zenith TV although really only two people can get cozy in there. Snacks would have to be granola bars or crispy minis as we've been trying to eat a bit healthier snackwise. Like doggett, I don't drink period so I wouldn't have any booze on hand. I do like my soda drinks though...usually diet and caffeine free too though. Movies I would choose...hmm let see...probably THE OMEGA MAN and QUATERMASS AND THE PIT.

I forgot to mention my treats and movies, so here's an addendum:

Treats:  Popcorn, of course.  This would be served during the movies.  Before and/or after the movies I think pizza, buffalo wings, and maybe chili would be good.  We could wash this all down with beer, hard liquor, soda, or water (I have a Poland Spring cooler in my kitchen).

Movies:  Tough decision, but I think if we need to limit the decision to only 2 flicks they would be DEATH RACE 2000 and DAWN OF THE DEAD.

Show off.

Yes, I do like to show off my sound system to anyone who comes over 

As for food, I would probably pick up a few large take & bake Papa Murphy's pizzas and 2-3 two liters of soda.  Probably Mt. Dew, Pepsi & Coke.
I don't drink hard liquor so if you wanted that, you'd have to bring your own.  Instead, I'd stock a case of Miller Light cans in the fridge.
I'd also probably serve Doritos and Tostitos with dip.
Oh, and a big bag of those Brach's gummy bears!  Gotta have those.  

As for movies, I've gotta agree on Death Race 2000.  Can't beat that one.  
Movie #2 would probably be Teenage Caveman. (2002)
