Bourne 5 Has Already Found Its Villan http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Bourne-5-Has-Already-Found-Its-Villan-80367.html
A spy movie is only as good as its hero and its villain. In Matt Damon's Jason Bourne, the franchise that bears his name already has a fantastic hero, and when the actor returns to the role for Bourne 5, he's going to face off against one hell of an antagonist, or at least an actor who plays one hell of a villain.Variety reports that acclaimed French actor Vincent Cassel will play the primary baddie Jason Bourne must face off against in his next adventure. There aren't a ton of details available about his role, but the 48-year-old actor will reportedly play a high-level assassin tracking the title hero. Whether or not he's been sent after the amnesiac spy or is out for a little revenge on his own dime (it's easy to imagine Bourne taking out someone important to the hitman), remains to be seen, but Cassel is the latest in a line of antagonists that includes notable actors like Karl Urban, Clive Owen, and Edgar Ramirez.Cassel is most known to mainstream audiences for roles in films like Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen, but he's also shown up in the likes of Black Swan, Eastern Promises, and even lent his voice to Shrek. In a career dating back to 1988, and including no less than 70 roles, Cassel has never been one to shy away from a challenge, risk, or controversy, especially evident in his role in Gaspar Noe's notorious Irreversible, which is all three.

Matt Damon Is Back in 'Bourne' Shape in First Pic from Set of New Film https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/matt-damon-back-bourne-shape-224600213.html
Jason Bourne is back!Matt Damon has begun production on the action franchise's latest installment, and he's got the ripped physique to prove it. Producer Frank Marshall tweeted a pic of the actor on set."First day of principal photography complete and happy to report, BOURNE is back!" Marshall captioned the pic, adding the hashtag "#Bourne2016."Damon shared his excitement about returning to the Bourne franchise when he spoke with ET at the grand opening of trainer Jason Walsh's Rise Nation fitness studio last month."I'm really excited for it," Damon dished. "The thing to be most excited about is our director, Paul Greengrass is back -- that's what I'm most excited about -- hopefully we can make one that's on par with the other ones we did."Walsh, who helped the actor get in shape for past Bourne movies, also trained Damon for the latest installment.

Matt Damon: 'Jason Bourne would kick the s--t out of Batman' http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/13/matt-damon-jason-bourne-batman
Forget Batman v Superman. How about Batman v Bourne? According to Matt Damon, the Caped Crusader can't hold a candle to Jason Bourne.During the Toronto International Film Festival, E! News asked the actor if his action hero persona could take on Batman, played by his pal Ben Affleck in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."Jason Bourne would kick the s–t out of Batman — absolutely!" Damon said. "Batman's gotta take on Superman first. If he could beat him then maybe he could take on Jason Bourne."Damon is in the middle of filming the fifth Bourne movie, directed by Paul Greengrass and co-starring Julia Stiles and The Danish Girl's Alicia Vikander. According to him, he doesn't need to portray a comic book character when Bourne is his superhero."I think they're kind of out of superheroes," he said. "Ben's going to be like the sixth or seventh Batman, so I don't think there's really any left. So I'm good. Jason Bourne is my superhero."Damon will be seen next in The Martian, opening in theaters Oct. 2.

What Bourne 5 Will Be About, According To Matt Damon http://www.cinemablend.com/new/What-Bourne-5-About-According-Matt-Damon-84467.html
It's been a while since we last saw Matt Damon's Jason Bourne. Sure, Jeremy Renner helped perpetuate the franchise with 2012's The Bourne Legacy, but eight years have passed since we've actually seen the series' titular character. As a result, fans are curious as to exactly what he's been up to since we last saw him - but the good news is that Paul Greengrass' untitled Bourne 5 will help deliver answers to all of those questions. Damon is still in production on the fifth installment of the Bourne franchise, but he's been taking a break from the film recently to take part in the press tour for Ridley Scott's The Martian. As such, he's had the opportunity to talk about his action franchise a bit, and it was while speaking with the New York Daily News that he explained what exactly what we can expect the new Bourne movie to be about. Teasing both the plot and the project's process through development, Damon explained,

The One Superhero Matt Damon Still Dreams Of Playing http://www.cinemablend.com/new/One-Superhero-Matt-Damon-Still-Dreams-Playing-84707.html
Although Matt Damon has starred in his fair share of actions films, he has yet to take on a superhero role. The only character he's played that comes remotely close is Jason Bourne (who he recently said could take down Batman), but fighting skills aside, the spy extraordinaire doesn't make that particular cut. While there are few superheroes that Damon is eagerly campaigning to portray (he already has an established blockbuster career), there's one character from the comics he still dreams of playing: Daredevil. During an interview with NY Daily News, Damon mentioned how he had considered playing Daredevil in the 2003 film directed by Mark Steven Johnson, since he and his buddy Ben Affleck (a.k.a. the new Batman) were big fans of Marvel's Man Without Fear. Damon said he "chickened out" because he didn't know if it was a good fit for him, and as we all know, Affleck ended up taking the role. Despite this lost opportunity, Damon did divulge a scenario where he would play Daredevil no questions asked. According to the actor:

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

I called customer service to get an answer, and they said nothing like that exists. Should I add the offer or not? Already paying them too much, but want to take advantage of something free.

Never had time to use the Hopper 3 account app yet. I also have a Hopper Plus so it's not the same as the Hopper 3 standalone. Will try it when I have more time, need to beat the taxes extension filing deadline first as I am still working on entering the data into the tax software.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.

I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.

I have no OEM bloat, on CTO devices where I can access the drive, I order it with the smallest allowed drive and crack the device open throw the factory drive in the garbage and put in my own WD Black and install Windows from bootable media. For Windows bloat, I install Windows using the English - World option which limits preinstalled MS bloat.

Windows and Office features I wish to block, like CoPilot and Cortana, macro enabled Office files and others are blocked with GPOs.

Between keeping all software up to date, doing firmware updates, putting IoT devices on a separate VLAN, running Symantec Endpoint (say what you want about it, it's been good to me) and practicing safe hex, I'm vigilant but not paranoid about security.

With NVMe SSDs, my cold boot up time on all devices is under 30 secs as well. Fast boot disabled, BitLocker drive encryption enabled.

I have nothing against Linux, been paying with it on and off since 2004ish, it's just not the right solution for me.

As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.

What is so fantabulous about the Windows UI? By many accounts, it has been going downhill since Windows 7.

There are Linux desktops that offer Windows or Mac UIs, yet you don't hear much chatter about them outside of questions about when the creators might get sued.

Because it's what I prefer. I know I've said this a few times, I use Open Shell to give me the cascading start menu a la WIN 95 and NT4.0. The only reason I went from Windows Vista to 7 back in the day was because of Classic Shell. I cannot stand anything other than the OG start menu from 30+ years ago. I'm using ExplorerPatcher to give me Windows 10 UI elements of the taskbar and right click context menus.

If you could take a look at how I set up Windows 95, you'd find many similarities to how I use 11.

I could probably use that as a starting point, but I don't like the full size icons. If you have to click on each folder that's also a no-go for me, it has to be cascading.

I used to have Peppermint Linux in a VM, that was about as close as I could get to recreating a Windows NT4.0 style of menu structure, but I could never get it to scale properly in VMWare on a 4K display and eventually gave up.

Whatever the boot up time it's fine with me. The longest part of my bootup is the HP SureStart BIOS integrity check. Once that is done, it's only a few more seconds. I haven't done this reg tweak yet since the reformat, but I switched the bootup animation to the Windows 10 style spinning circle of dots, and it's two and a half rotations. I can live with that.

I hope you don't believe that makes it wonderful (especially when you're using workarounds for Microsoft's malfeasance).

I use LibreOffice as opposed to Microsoft office (even in Windows) because it's UI is like the Office of old, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is (in a manner of speaking). The ribbon was one of the worst ideas to come out Redmond.

New Apple TV 4K released, plus other Apple Home devices.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.

At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

Not a bit. IMO, Apple's are slow to boot up. Time is about the same with 1st gen and 3rd. Roku runs rings around them in that department. I only reason I stuck, is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is a deal breaker. Later, Apple!

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

24 team playoff seems to be real close.

Are we really that far from a 64-team tournament?

The benefit of the 24 team playoff:
  • All the cartel teams that cartels want in playoff are in playoff
    • Independent of record too! Bonus.
  • MONEY!!!!! for the cartels.
  • I'm out of ideas.
Cons
  • Regular season really doesn't matter now other than the rivalry games
    • Top cartel teams can lose three games and still make the playoff
  • Going to start resting players?
    • The playoff is going to be *checks notes* several games!
    • Resting players could make games dumb.
    • Maybe even restrict NIL players from games played.
  • How much are streaming sub costs going up a month to pay for this?!

One of the pro's I see is in a year with so many undefeated teams they have a good chance of an opening. Few years back you had lower divisions that didnt get a shot. I love collage football and I have no problem with that addition.

We are in what week 5 now? Been two real good ranked games to watch.....Other than that top 25 teams are playing nothing.

Oh, I Hate the idea ...

It would be different if it was a game that you could play 2 or games each week, but when you only play 1 game a week, the larger playoff is Not a good thing ...

The season has how many games now, is it 14 ... then you want to play another 5 (with more to come) against Top 12 (eventually 24 teams) ... remember, the 5 games in the playoffs will be the hardest games all year and back to back.

For example, IF Ohio State should win it all this year ... they play 5 teams in the Top 25, plus they would play 5 more to win it all, depending on how the ranking shake out and if Bye weeks are given.

Thats 10 Ranked teams ... in one year ...
I don't see that happening very often ...
Edit, Bama plays 4, Georgia plays 3, But Ole Miss plays 5 (didn't expect to see that)

That said, I don't see the Buckeyes winning it all this year.

Seeing theres very little activity in the MLB threads, it wouldn't matter if I posted that the Astros didn't make the Playoffs ...

Theres more NFL info in the Pub section than in the Sports/NFL thread.
