Bright Room, Big Picture: Living with the Hisense L9Q

Big screens are wonderful until daylight barges in and spoils the mood. The Hisense L9Q fights back with real punch and colour, then asks you to make a few smart choices so contrast keeps up. Pair it with the right UST ALR screen and the image holds together at 120 to 150 inches without turning the room into a cave.

A big screen, minimal setup, no need for a giant chunk of hardware hanging from your ceiling. The Samsung Premiere 9 (LPU9D) UST takes that idea and pushes it into high-end territory.

This promotional VHS tape for Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor is a relic from a time when movie nights meant rewinding and the box art was as much a part of the experience as the film itself.

Nostalgia or Knockoff? When I stumbled upon a 2001: A Space Odyssey children’s menu from Howard Johnson’s, it seemed too good to be true. Spoiler: it probably was.

The 2009 UK press kit for Watchmen is an exceptional collector’s item, embodying the film’s dark, intricate, and visually striking aesthetic. Serving as both a promotional tool and a keepsake, this press kit goes beyond the standard industry package.

Film tourism, or “set-jetting,” is booming. It’s no longer just about seeing beautiful landscapes or famous landmarks; it’s about stepping into the worlds we see on screen. From exploring Middle-earth in New Zealand to walking the streets of King’s Landing in Dubrovnik, cinema and TV have turned once-quiet corners of the world into tourist magnets.
