"OMGZORS my boyfriend got a home cinema system!!"

This is not, perhaps, a level of materialism - or of heteronormativity - that you've come to expect from [livejournal.com profile] sebastienne, dear reader.

However, perhaps you will understand my squee - about both unexpected elements of this statement - when you see how he chose to calibrate the colour and aspect ratio on his new projector:

(For the 95% of you who don't get the joke; it is written into the Oxford Doctor Who Society constitution that all committee meetings must end with a close-up on Colin Baker's face. He played the 6th Doctor and episode directors did seem to have a particular fondness for ending episodes in a similar fashion. Colin Baker's Face has become something of a hysterical in-joke amongst six or seven of the loveliest people in Oxford; I'm sorry to waste everyone else's time with this post but you must understand the joy!)

If you are going to calibrate the colour patterns, then there is surely no greater challenge than Colin's coat!

It seems the DVD's in stereo, so I shall also need a recording of Colin shouting the same word at increasing volumes while I fiddle with the speakers.

THIS x 1,000

Then again, we've done season 23... how about Twin Dilemma onwards? Attack of the Cybermen is the only one I've not seen...

Twin Dilemma is certainly drinking game territory, and much of Attack of the Cybermen has potential too...

Yesssssss my preciousssssss :D *demands Twin Dilemma in EnormoVision*

Shame it's not out on DVD yet >_< I believe it's not due out until September. Maybe we should leave that one for a bit, so as to further enjoy its FULL REMASTERED MAJESTY when the time comes. But I would *so* be up for a season 22 marathon. TWO DOCTORS JOY.

...tell you what, wait until after my birthday, and I'll ensure I have the whole of season 22 on DVD for our delectation :D

Yeah, if you get it wrong, it'll look clashing and hideous.
