    Tim Burton to direct Willy Wonka remake for WB

    I'm thinking some people here need to read a book! I love Willy Wonka the movie, but I like Roald Dahl too and it'd be great to see a realization of the actual source material. In regards to another poster I'd love to see a "remake" of the Wizard of Oz in the vein of Return to Oz that follows...

    Top 10 animated films (box office) of past 10 years

    If you're talking about the standard version of the Thief and the Cobbler with Matthew Broderick as the thought narration and Ernest Borgnine mumbling then I don't think I can agree. I didn't think that there was an actual release of the original though. I'd have to throw in 2 cents for Iron...

    Situations where Free Movie Ticket didn't work?

    Usually when they're talking about no passes they mean discounted tickets you got at one time or another probably as a package. Usually they're matinee priced tickets you can use in the evening. When you buy them they tell you that they can't always work. I believe that the no passes is mandated...

    Movies about secret groups/societies...

    If you haven't seen it, try From Hell. I don't want to say too much though because that'd possibly ruin a couple turns and twists. There's also this movie called the Matrix...a summer sleeper from a few years ago.

    Backyard music

    If you look at Rockustic speakers or probably any other outdoor speakers you'll see they have subwoofers to be buried in the ground. They are even more like water heaters than sonosubs. http://www.rockusticsinc.com/subwoof...ferseries.html

    IR Question: IR IN on back of A/V Receiver

    The IR in on components are used for 2 different things: 1. A main piece like the receiver can control all the other pieces of the same brand. 2. Control systems can use these to send IR to individual components without having to run an emitter to the front of the piece plus it eliminates...

    Anyone have a color Pronto?

    Just to clarify there is a seperate RF base station you can buy which has 4-IR ports on it that you can then plug 2-headed IR connectors into that allows for control of 8 devices. I believe there are 3 different RF freqs. so you could control 24 devices remotely. Looking at ProntoPro I don't...

    O.K I've got 5 remotes now, suggestions??

    I'll put my vote in for a Pronto, but it's hardly the king of remotes maybe it can be mayor of Remoteville. An AMX (or Crestron) system completely mops the floor with it. The one I use is a little antiquated, but it's got an 8-inch color LCD and can control RS-232 devices. Not to mention it...

    DVI / IEEE For Dummies...Please discuss

    I heard a great lecture about IEEE1394/HAVi back at CEDIA by the VP of Mitsubishi. Firewire can carry about 10 HD streams simultaneously. IEEE1394b allows for many more streams and makes housewide distribution possible. Any given stream carries: -what is is -how to control it -Copy info...

    'home theater' automation

    If the AMX you're talking about is Netlinx then they have modules to control your computer. You'll want to look at the PCLink modules.

    Lutron Spacer Remote Dimmers/ Two in one room

    A Luton spacer really isn't the right solution for multiple scenes in one room. However, if you really felt hacking it you'd need something like a Pronto Pro set to the RF mode and then use the IR emitter base to run to each of the switches. However, the IR receiver is on the front of the unit...

    Pioneer Elite and Sony Sat-HD100 problem

    It sounds like we got it to work with the Sony with an Extron piece in there. It sounds like the DTC-100 will be the most cost effective way to go.
