I don't know if it's possible to do a really theatrical web interface but I have been thinking along those lines for an upcoming project. Meanwhile, I guess I've just grown to prefer webbier interfaced for video to tv-ish interfaces. And really, if its a videoblog there is a lot going for the simplicity of some basic templates out there . Heck look at scratchvideo.tv. Other than lacking a single big uber-archive (so one doesn't have to remember what month and year something was posted when trying to find it), it's simple, clean, and as far as I know it's just a simple prefab typepad template. I find it much more satisfying than most of the newer video themes. But this all comes SO much down to personal taste, and to the type / goal of the site/person.
