Just remember that there are millions of people who have never read one of the most powerful abolitionist books out there who object to it on the basis that one of the characters is known as "Nigger Jim." I actually saw Song of the South on a big screen. From what I remember, it wasn't...

I got that from the mangler... er... manager at my local Big Chain Video Place. I was renting Babel. Why did she say it? "Nothing's in English - you have to read everything!" (and I'm not even gonna state the obvious about the theme of the flick...) Welp, my girlfriend's kinda sorta...

You wanna talk stereotypes? Lady & The Tramp... Sheesh. Was that guy supposed to be Italian or French?

So, I'm gonna assume that the DVD's I've seen for auction are boots of the video? Not gonna pay that much for a boot, but I would like to have something on the shelf... When I innocently watched the movie, I thought it was good. Also, when I innocently read Huck Finn, I also thought it...

1) NEVER, EVER watch some pornos on a big screen. You'll be scarred for life. 2) Pirates ain't bad, except that it takes itself too seriously in spots, and not seriously enough in others. 3) It's a heckuva industry. And it isn't just in the valley.

IMHO, see if you can buy some bookshelf speaks made with the same drivers as your floor speaks... Having the same general "sound" all the way around _really_ makes a difference (been there, done that...). I think that'd give you the biggest bang for your buck sonically... Next, I'd look toward a...

Yeah, the things ain't bad... I may dump some goo in the box, but that's about all they're getting. I think that three pairs of these puppies would go a LONG way toward a home theater setup... My father has a pair of Sony _transmission lines_ that are pretty darn nice. I've found a little...

Dude, you've got a PM with a few links...

Chris, pm me over at Oleg's... I can make some suggestions, maybe get you some better gear with a little beer money left over.

Don't completely discount building something yourself... I put together my twin 5.5 cube sonotubes in the basement. And to get 'em out, they're gonna be taken apart. Also, if you have the option to build into the back of a bookcase or something like that, well, that could go a long way...

You don't need everything at once... 1) Get a good AVR with preamp outputs. Last year's or even the year before's model isn't going to have much different functionality than today's... And $300ish is a lot easier to stand than $900ish... 2) Stereo is okay for starters... If I was limited...

Just remember - there is no replacement for displacement... FWIW, just modeled 4 Peavey 18" Lowrider pro speaks in a sealed 44 cubic foot box, and with under 300 watts total, they looked darn interesting.

The amplifier only has ONE output... That's the wires (or maybe you just have some ears on that one - I dismember) that are coming out the back/bottom... The left/right speaker outputs are for when you're feeding the thing a speaker-level signal. It cuts out the low end, and passes it to the...

For a movie (and I sit 12' away from a 92" screen), I prefer a center channel. But for music (and that includes DVDs), I think things sound better without it. And while my HT speakers are low/mid-end (Infinity Entra Threes for fronts, the larger of the two centers for the center, Entra twos on...

To me, I thought the sound just sorta sounded kinda dull - Kinda like one of those albums that you _know_ was mixed for the ipod generation.
