King Kong And Godzilla May Join Forces For An Epic Movie, Get The Details http://www.cinemablend.com/new/King...n-Forces-An-Epic-Movie-Get-Details-81987.html
Two years ago, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. decided to end their eight year partnership, with the former creating a new deal with the folks over at Universal Pictures. This deal has worked out quite well for Legendary, as they wound up with a nice kickback from the massive success of Jurassic World, but now it looks like they may be bringing one of their most high-profile upcoming titles - Kong: Skull Island - back to WB. Why? If new reports are to be believed, it's because they're interested in the idea of a potential crossover with Godzilla.Deadline has the scoop on this development, and even has what looks to be a timetable for the combination of the franchises. According to the trade's sources, Legendary is still planning on having Godzilla 2 focus on the giant lizard from Japan, but that the movie that follows that one will see the King of the Monsters go toe-to-toe with the world's biggest ape. One would assume that this crossover project doesn't happen unless Kong: Skull Island is successful at the box office, but the report seems to suggest that Legendary is very gung-ho on this idea.Right now, Universal's position in all of this isn;t known, but Deadline makes it very clear why Legendary Pictures is interested in the Kong: Skull Island move. It's true that King Kong is currently in the public domain, but Legendary believes that having the potential crossover franchises under one roof will make waters easier to navigate as the projects make their way through development. It's hard to question the logic there.As things stand, Kong: Skull Island is a bit of a question mark. The project is set to be helmed by Kings of Summer's Jordan Vogt Roberts, and it was recently revealed that Jurassic World co-writer Derek Connolly has been brought on to work on the script by Max Borenstein. As the movie has made its way through production, on pace to come out in 2017, there have been a few casting shakeups, with Michael Keaton and J.K. Simmons signing on and then deciding to drop out. That being said, the film has put together one hell of an ensemble that includes Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Toby Kebbell, and possibly Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Wilkinson and John C. Reilly. Because the feature is set in the 1970s, however, it's unclear if any of these actors would actually get to be in a Kong/Godzilla crossover film.

Here you go .....Warner Bros Planning Kong/Godzilla/Pacific Rim Crossover Universe?
A thunderous roar echoed through the internet this week when it was announced that Legendary Entertainment's upcoming production 'Kong: Skull Island' is moving house from Universal to Warner Bros - with a view to setting up a new 'King Kong Vs Godzilla' movie.Whilst the prospect of the two most iconic giant monsters in film history doing battle once again was more than enough to leave fans everywhere salivating, it seems this may only be the tip of the iceberg for Warners' plans with their giant monster properties.A new report at Bloody Disgusting claims the stage is being set for a massive multi-franchise monster universe which, on top of King Kong and Godzilla, will also include the monsters-versus-robots future world of 'Pacific Rim.'

Legendary Realizes There's A King Kong/Godzilla Size Problem http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Legendary-Realizes-There-King-Kong-Godzilla-Size-Problem-83137.html
According to The Hollywood Reporter, over the course of discussions about such a massive crossover potentially happening, one big point was repeatedly brought up that could prove to be an insurmountable obstacle. As huge as the greatest of the great apes is, the King of the Monsters is much, much bigger.While King Kong is big enough to grab Fay Wray (or Naomi Watts depending on which version you're talking about) and scale the Empire State Building, swatting at pesky airplanes and helicopters along the way, Godzilla is the same height as the skyscrapers. Godzilla would basically just step on King Kong, light him on fire with his atomic breath for good measure, and call it an early night.The prevailing logic is that, in order to make this clash feasible—or for the two to potentially become allies against some greater enemy—there will have to be some kind of alteration in the respective size of the iconic beasts. However, as difficult as this may seem, a source close to Legendary says that they are confident that they can come up with a way to even the playing field a bit, and perhaps even explain how the two can become the best of friends.All of this started earlier in the week when Universal let Legendary Pictures, with whom they have a partnership deal in place, take their upcoming Kong: Skull Island over to the folks at Warner Bros. Legendary had a similar eight-year relationship with WB that recently came to an end—the two co-produced Gareth Edwards' 2014 Godzilla before that union dissolved. These reports indicated that the move to take Skull Island over to WB is predicated on Legendary's interest in crossing the two franchises over in the near future.Godzilla 2 is still in the works, but the tentative plan appears to be that after that happens, King Gong and Godzilla will somehow meet up on movie screens world wide. Again, this is all contingent on if they can figure out how to contend with the size disparity. As it stands, the latest Godzilla is roughly 350 feet tall (the original incarnation is apparently only 164 feet), while King Kong is generally considered to be around 50 feet tall—then again, we haven't seen the Skull Island version yet, so perhaps he's a bit larger than the traditional Kong.

'Godzilla vs. Kong' Set for 2020 https://www.yahoo.com/movies/godzilla-vs-kong-set-for-2020-214457108.html
Warner Bros. and Legendary are teaming up on a 2020 movie Godzilla vs. Kong, representing the official unification of the two monster franchises.The companies jointly announced Wednesday that the basis for the film would be an "ecosystem" of giant super-species, both classic and new, as the Monarch organization that uncovered Godzilla in the 2014 film expands its mission in multiple releases.The first films in the partnership have already been announced: Kong: Skull Island, which opens on March 10, 2017, and Godzilla 2 on June 8, 2018.The announcement noted that while Legendary maintains its new home at Universal Pictures, the Godzilla films and the Kong origin film will be distributed via Warner Bros. Production on Kong: Skull Island, which had been at Universal until recently, begins Oct. 19."Audiences really responded to Godzilla," said Legendary topper Thomas Tull. "Today, I'm excited to reveal that film was only the beginning of an epic new entertainment universe. As a lifelong fan of these characters, I've always wanted to see the ultimate showdown, and today we're pleased to be announcing that and more."Warner Bros. topper Kevin Tsujihara said in a statement: "Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with Godzilla. It's great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn't get any bigger than this."

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.

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 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.
EarDemon
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.
HipKat
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.

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…

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!

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.
