The Peter Jackson version was outstanding. I hope this one could deliver in the same manner.

I guess you and I are of the few that liked it. Little too long but still an awesome movie.

If a Godzilla v King Kong movie is coming, I really hope the go back to a more original Godzilla.

I went to see it this past weekend.  I arrived 45 minutes early and they told me I would have to sit on the front row.  I turned around and left.  I'll try again this weekend if I have time.

 

Wtf? Why did you have to sit in the front row if you got there so early, was it that crowded?

Yeah I guess everyone got their tickets online.  It was a theater with assigned seating.

That's lame, before you know it scalpers are going to be scooping up the best seats like at concerts and sporting events.

The IMAX theater in Winston-Salem recently installed huge faux-leather electric reclining seats. It greatly reduced the number of seats in the theater, but damn if they aren't comfy as hell. But you better get there early if you want a good angle.

I seen that movie in the theater and the only thing I remember is it being the longest movie in my life.   I know it wasn't though.   I always watch Lord of the Rings extended and Return of the King is like 4.5 hours, but that Kong felt like an eternity.    I can't even remember if it was good or not lol.   I feel like I enjoyed it the first half and then it hit a weird place.  

I have heard the new one is pretty good though.

I thought the original was brilliant. Jack Black kinda was out of place but the movie itself was excellent. For being a 12 year old movie, the Special FX were pretty good.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
