    Directors Smallest Crowd you saw at a movie theater.

    In 1992 the film "Hoffa" was filmed, in part, in Detroit. Myself and several friends were extras who were part of the several street scenes that were filled at Detroit's Eastern Market area. When my wife and I went to see the film (a weekeday, 11:30am showing at a large mall), we were the...

    You *really* need to watch Memento a second time. I thought it was tough to follow the first time (even though I understood it was shown in reverse chronology). On the second viewing, I understood that without thinking about it and could afford to get more from the film. Do you think there...

    Route ALL equipment through the receiver?

    What advantage is there to route all the AV equipment through your receiver? I would be interested in hearing what setups you folks use in this regard. I currently send my VCR output directly to my TV. Then I route the TV monitor out to the RECEIVER. My DVD runs directly to my RECEIVER...

    JBL PB-10 Subwoofer - no manual, what now

    With my old receiver, I originally wired the speakers directly to the PB10 and then ran my L/R speakers out from the sub. I hooked up my new receiver yesterday, which has a subwoofer dedicated line. I used a mono audio hookup from the subwoofer out to the PB10. I lost the PB10 manual...
