I agree with MBH, we want a reasonable one not Shawerma style :P Now I want Shawerma xD Capuccino you got one thing right, we love to complain :P But mainly I was giving out suggestions to the movies they are playing, but censoring or not, they can get better.

We're not asking for zero censorship, but for a reasonable one. Shawerma-style slicing is not reasonable at all!! Watch the movies on MBC network and One TV. They have the best cutting I've ever scene. They even filter obscene words without cutting the scene itself; just the audio. You'd think a MINISTRY can't hire 2-3 people to do that?? Or contract with a TV station that already has the staff??? If the people can't put pressure on the ministry/minister, then it will work by putting pressure on Cinescape itself, but not going to the slice & dice show they call movies. When Cinescape suffers from enough loss, they'll be forced to do the right thing. Capuccino,

I contacted KNCC once and to the people who didnt know this, but they do no censor the films. The films are sent directly to the ministry of information and a censor board committee chops up the films and sends them back to them.. all this so the minister of information doesnt take the stand in the Majlis el Uma by the extremists who wait for any slip up from anyone to cause havoc... we need to complain against the ministry of information and not cinescape.. thats what i think!

They look great in showrooms or those cinema rooms in showrooms, but after some use, they lose brightness and require you to change the internal light. And they're expensive. If the competition was another local company, you can bet it's gonna be owned by the same people. Think MTC & Wataniya. I wouldn’t recommend using projectors.

We were thinking of HD projector, screen, speakers, but then we had to take the space measurement and idle location since we were aiming for the basement, let me ignite the idea again to my bro. Marzouq, they can implement many ideas but don't. I think because there is no competition. MBH, even this kind of budget needs to be planned.

A home theater isn't expensive at all, but it's not worth making if your room is small. The optimum viewing distance is calculated by the diagonal * 2.54 * 3. So for a 65" Plasma TV, the best place to sit is 65*2.54*3 = 4.95 meters away from the TV. Slap in 7 speakers of surround system and you're good to go. (Plus a subwoofer!). The whole thing should cost about 1200-1700 KD only. When I used to go to KNCC, I wouldn’t eat popcorn, so that I don’t get thirsty, drink water/juice, then would need to run to the toilets!

You know before cinescape had breaks, not anymore! No bathroom or prayer breaks, so we always take in consideration run-time to put timing in perspective.
