Question by wordcross1: What do you call the space between hallway doors and theater doors in a movie theater?
I’m working on a project that involves designing a movie theater, and I’d like to know what to call the space. For example, when you’re in the hallway getting ready to enter the theater that’s showing your movie, you enter one set of doors into a dim corridor, then another set of doors into the theater proper. Is there a specific name for that short corridor?

What kind of home theater system should i purchase?

lyppw.com — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:30:04 +0000

Question by Extreme Mayhem: What kind of home theater system should i purchase?
I currently have a samsung (HCN653W) TV and am looking for a home theater system to hook up to it. I am looking for a system that is around $ 500. This should include the receiver and speakers. I only want it to be Dolby 5.1 and want to be able to hook up a dvd player, my tv, and possibly a blu-ray player for the future. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I also do not want wireless speakers. I only hear bad comments about wireless.

Ugh! That thing is huge! I had to really dig for a pic of it & find it’s specs. Anyway, at best it’s highest resolution is 1080i. It’s actually outdated by a couple of years. My recommendation is the link below. It gives you everything you asked for including Blu-ray. It should work well w/ your TV. It’s twice of what you wanted in your budget, but in this day & age these toys are getting more expensive. $ 500 would not have given you anything decent in terms of quality. Shop around a bit & see if you can’t find that system at a better price. I do recommend you buy from these folks b/c they back up everything they sell 100%. I order from them all the time. Even if I find an item at a better price elsewhere. Their customer service & shipping speed is hard to beat. G’luck!

How do new movies go from the producer to the actual theater?

lyppw.com — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:40:42 +0000

Question by Kelly G: How do new movies go from the producer to the actual theater?
Does the actual theater buy the rights to the movie? Or do the producers pay the theater to play the movie? How does a theater decide what movie it wishes to show? How much of a cut does the theater get? Do the producers pay the theater to put posters up of the movie?

5. TV (I honestly couldn’t tell you a TV show I watch on a regular basis anymore).

i work with people with special needs in a day program setting in Toronto.i’m looking for the places where we can go with clients without paying entrace fee.we want to go out for integration in society as much as we can but because of budget constraints we are unable to do so.
everybody needs some entertainment in life and our guys too need it.we need the places like clubs,museum,parks,amusement parks,theatres,art galleries,indoor and outdoor shows and festivals etc,etc.

Best answer:

Answer by skate
If you check the various museums and art galleries websites there is often a day it is free. Also, if you call them, they may be willing to let you in if you explain what you are doing. High park is always nice as is the boardwalk at the Beaches. For free festivals and stuff, check toronto.com.
