Disney's guide to Home Theater Setup

I like the 1940s Disney animation shorts. They may not get to the hilarity level of Chuck Jones and Tex Avery's work at Warner, but some of them are really good. This How to Hook Up Your Home Theater short is new, but it feels like one of them and summarizes perfectly the dangers and absurd complexity of modern big home theaters, from impossible-to-open audio cable boxes to the sound system—with "center channel, left and right speakers, bit more to the left and bit more to the right speakers, surround speakers, surrounding surround speakers"— to huge screens.

A great site gets even better

All I have to say is that I love the website IMDB.com and I use it often.  It is one of the most useful movie and TV sites out there.  Now, they've made it even better. IMDB and it's parent company Amazon have teamed up with Hulu and others to provide not just clips of movies, now there are full TV episodes and full versions of movies.  Yes, I said full versions of movies.  Now, I know you're probably saying, sure, probably just old crappy movies.  And yes, there are a lot of classic movies, you can watch the original Casino Royale.  But there are also new movies available also, The Scorpion King, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, and even Wierd Science.  And, it's also nice to watch episodes of shows on the web and being immediately able to go ahead and check out who that hot girl was on the episode you're watching, and what B-movies she's been in.  Well, there's other stuff you can do, but to each his own.  Go and check it out.
