I see a slight problem in mobility. Moving it from room to room would sort of mess up the mouldings.

Yeah, the only downsides I see are the cost of diesel fuel, the need for fluid-damped coin mounts to alleviate the ground shaking, and the need to retain an aerospace firm to machine an extension tube for the lens.

On the upside, there are a whole lot of defunct drive-in theaters with unused screens, which is probably the only way you'll ever be able to project a full-resolution image.
