That's good plus in time for Civil War as well due to if I'm not mistaken Spider Man cross over several times in the stories.

Spider-Man Reboot Director Hints Miles Morales Could Appear
The director of the upcoming Spider-Man reboot has hinted to Yahoo Movies that Miles Morales – the mixed-race character who replaced Peter Parker as the webslinger in the comic books – may still be in the new movie.Jon Watts, whose critically-acclaimed thriller 'Cop Car' is available now digitally, seemed to suggest Morales – who was introduced in 2011 in the Ultimate series and whose parents are African-American and Puerto Rican – might appear alongside Parker (played by Tom Holland) when asked whether there'd been any serious discussions about him being the main character."I can't talk about that, because, you know, that will reveal too much," he tells us. "We're still writing the story…we haven't finished all the way through the story yet, so who knows."No denial that Morales wasn't part of the cast? Saying talking about it will "reveal too much"?

Sam Raimi 'Messed Up' Spider-Man 3, Wants To Work On Marvel's Version http://news.yahoo.com/sam-raimi-messed-up-spider-man-3-wants-to-work-023635896.html
'Spider-Man 3? wasn't everyone's cup of tea. In fact, most moviegoers downright despised Sam Raimi's third Peter Parker adventure.But rather than trying to stubbornly defend his work on the divisive blockbuster, Sam Raimi himself has now admitted to The Week that even he isn't too fond of 'Spider-Man 3?.Raimi insisted, "I messed up on the third one," when asked about his thoughts on the character and his various cinematic incarnations.But Raimi is hopeful that he will one day get another chance to work on a 'Spider-Man' film again, admitting that he'd jump at the chance to collaborate on Marvel's upcoming incarnation of the superhero."I think they're so complete now, Marvel," Raimi remarked. "They probably don't need me anymore. But if they needed me? I'd love to. It's great to be wanted."Sam Raimi's work on the three 'Spider-Man' films helped to legitimise the superhero genre. 2002's 'Spider-Man' was well received, but it was with 'Spider-Man 2? that Raimi showed the true potential of a superhero film.The 2004 action adventure excelled thanks to Alfred Molina's towering performance as its villain Doc Ock, while it also had a delicious mix of special effects with a human, emotional story.However, 'Spider-Man 3? wasn't met with the same response. It was criticised for being bloated with characters, and failing to resonate in the way that its predecessors did.

Spider-Man Actor Tom Holland Shows Off Peter Parker Haircut http://screenrant.com/spider-man-tom-holland-peter-parker-haircut/
But even when footage of the newest Captain America film premiered at Disney's D23 convention, neither hide nor hair of the mild-mannered Parker or the web-slinger graced the screens. However, thanks to Holland's presence on social media, fans now have a glimpse at what may be the character's haircut.On his Instagram, Holland revealed this intriguing look at his new coif. While he makes no direct reference to his character in this image, it does look suspiciously like Peter Parker in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series and comic book. Check out the image below:

Tom Holland Teases His Ultimate Spider-Man Look On Instagram http://news.yahoo.com/tom-holland-teases-his-ultimate-spider-man-look-on-110114691.html
New Spider-Man Tom Holland has been flaunting his new look on social media, offering fans a glimpse at what his Peter Parker will look like.The 19-year-old Brit filmed his first scenes as Spidey earlier this year for 'Captain America: Civil War' but nothing has yet leaked giving us a glimpse of the character.On Instagram Holland showed off a new haircut which is very reminiscent of Peter Parker's in the Ultimate Spider-Man comic reboot back in 2000.Holland captioned the image with: "Hair cut or the Johnny Depp look?"Fans may not have to wait long to see the character in action, either in costume or out, as it has been rumoured that the first 'Civil War' trailer isn't far away.ComicBook.com reported a tweet from a Russian cinema chain last week saying that the first trailer would launch on 6 November to coincide with the worldwide release of the latest James Bond film 'Spectre'.We can only hope the trailer drops soon. Don't expect a glimpse of Spider-Man in action however, the character isn't expected to appear for a great deal of time and Marvel and Sony may want to tease his big introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Looks like Tom Holland's Spider-Man will fly through the air with the greatest of ease https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/looks-tom-hollands-spider-man-172400983.html
Fans have to wait to see Tom Holland in his Spider-Man suit until "Captain America: Civil War," but the actor took to Instagram to give us a glimpse of what kind of moves he's been working on.It seems either Peter Parker eschewed gender norms to take gymnastics classes or being bitten by a radioactive spider gave him the ability to parkour. Either way, it's pretty impressive to watch!

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

For quite a while now, people with a VIP211k have been losing their recordings on their activated external HDDs... even when there's nothing physically wrong with HDD. I believe this is an intentional and underhanded tactic that Dish is pulling in an attempt to force users away from the VIP211k.

They are obviously regretting that they ever let users have a "non-dvr" dvr in the first place. You would think they would be happy charging you a $40 one time fee... and then be happy letting the customer be the one responsible for HDD failures.

Dish clearly hates the 211k bitter-clingers. This recording deletion problem is intentional (IMO), and I think it is just one more tool that they are using. Hopper and a 2-year agreement... that's what they want you to have. Think about that... a 2-year agreement... with a company $30 Billion in debt (that's with a B). What happens when all that debt causes them to drop the channel that may have been your whole reason for having Dish in the first place? Guess who's stuck with a service that no longer suits their needs... for the remainder of the 2-year agreement.

On top of that, they don't want you to install it yourself. I purchased and installed all my equipment myself. That used to be common. Now, they lie to me and tell me that my dish must be updated to use a Hopper. Funny thing is... they don't even know what dish I have because they didn't install it, and I didn't tell them. If you ask what type of dish/LNBs the hopper needs... good luck getting an answer. All they know is that whatever you have needs to be upgraded by an installer.

It is quite apparent to me that they care much more about staying in their box, than they do working with the customer. That's too bad, because it hasn't always been that way. It's like they are totally unaware of the current business environment that they are trying to compete in.

I have been a customer since 2010. I will be cancelling my service before the next period. Yeah, I know, my $1,200 a year won't make a difference to them. It just seems like they have forgotten who needs who, especially when you consider the competition in today's streaming world. But hey, they will have succeed in forcing me off the 211k.

Well, after nine months of being on pause, I finally figured out that I was wasting $5 a month. So I cancelled. For the first time since 2010, I no longer have a Dish account.

I do have to say that I did appreciate the account pause option. That just gives a person some time to see what the fallout of cancelling will be... without having to go all the way over the cliff first.

Since I never once had an "oh shoot, I need Dish Network for..." moment, the decision was a lot easier.

Funny enough, when I called to cancel (for real, not playing the pricing game), all of a sudden, they were offering me deals that I was told before that I couldn't get without changing out my VIP211k. Now, I could have had those specials with them just sending me a new card for the receiver. LOL!

Of course, my mind was already made up because of having not missed the service while on pause. That, and the fact that I bet the 211k still kills recordings.

All in all, I'm glad that I had Dish for all those years. I just outgrew the need, and they pressed the issue by deleting recordings. I would have eventually went this route without the deleted recordings issue. But, for sure, that did hasten the outcome.

I'll still pop in at this site from time to time. Believe it or not, I still have a C/Ku BUD that I intend on playing with again if life ever slows down.

Unless things have changed at Dish, which is entirely possible, they won't activate the 211, even as a replacement. I gave one to a customer a while back....which when I turned it off I made sure to tell the CSR I wanted it freed up so another customer could use it, I was assured it was.....and when they called to swap out there's they were told it couldn't be done. Now like I said, things MIGHT HAVE CHANGED.
