Oh, I dont know, some of the blatently commercial stuff (desenex, prudential)
is SOOO good. Bigger budgets I guess.

I guess I don't understand what you mean by screening room. The 'blacked
off' area in the art show had videos and slideshows, lasers and dancers.

I spent quite a while there, camped out on the floor, soaking in this
eye candy. Quite a relief for the old, tired, hurt, blistered feet.
