MP3 Wanted By The FBI - It Takes A War
9 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Modern Rock, BLUES: Electric Blues
Imagine , your out with friends hopping from night club to night club .
All the bands you have seen so far have been good but , they all seem to have the same set list . Then you come to this one club that you''ve never been to and everyone wants to try it . The name of the band on the poster , playing tonight reads , Wanted By The FBI . You think , why would any one want to name their band that ? So, interest peaked, you pay the admission and go in . First thing you notice is that the music sounds different . Not as commercial as the other bands . It''s good but , different .
It''s a refreshing sound from what you''ve heard all night . You see four guys up on stage that seem to be very into what they are doing . Having fun and sounding tight , not a scratch yet . Wondering who these guys are and why you havent heard too much about them , you can''t help but listen and watch . Some of the songs are dancable , some you just have to listen to . What a mixture of songs ? Then you realize that you''ve stayed the whole set . You liked it and you would like to see them again .Next time , the whole night but , when will they be back ? Now , may be they will come to your area . Maybe not , and you''d like to hear them again , or at least their songs . Nows your chance ! Right here , right now ! You may never see them in person ( or maybe you will ) but at least you''ll know what they sound like . And if they do come to your town , you''ll know their songs . This is your chance ! Wanted By the FBI , It Takes A War !

Rumours persist that Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World will be set in a rebranded and fully open Jurassic theme park.
jurassic park 4
Well, I don't know about Krasinski but I can at least substantiate the bit about the new film having scenes in a functional Jurassic Park.
The hardcore dinophiles at the Jurassic Park Podcast probably can't believe their luck, this week having had Colin Trevorrow join them for a Q&A.
Colin Trevorrow will direct, from a script he's written with Derek Connolly, after a draft by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.
What does it mean if Jurassic Park is rebooted? Actually, before we get to that, what does it mean if an actor says they think it's going to be rebooted?
It's official. Here's Universal's statement on the frozen-in-amber Jurassic Park sequel.
Films are often frozen in the late stages of development, and for all sorts of reasons. Maybe it's not typically the big budget tentpoles, but it does happen with those too.
Neither of the previous two sequels took us back to Nublar, but skipped over to Site B, Isla Sorna. Well, enough of that. Let's go back to the source.
Can you believe it’s been 20 years since the release of Jurassic Park? Thought not. To be in 2013 and discussing the upcoming release of Jurassic Park IV seems utterly insane, but also pretty damn exciting.
Remember that time Matt Fraction said "Continuity is the Devil" at ECCC and we ended up having a big argument about it in the forum? I think this little tidbit about Jurassic Park 4 is a rather interesting illustration of the point. Most-Read Comic Stories Of Saturday: Axel Alonso Announces Marvel Now Wave Two, A Weekly What […]
How the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park won't have evolved at all since part 3.
Trevorrow was rumoured to be directing Star Wars Episode VII. But he's not. He's directing the next Jurassic Park instead.
So... why do you keep a director secret from the crew you're hiring? And what else do we know about Jurassic Park 4?
I think the first Jurassic Park had the tagline "They're Back." And so they are.
The Dinoasaurs with Guns dinosaurs, without guns.
No more monkey business.
The War Horse wagon train rumbles on, reaching France, and all the glamour of a star-studded Parisian press conference (ie. a bunch of mostly self-entitled hacks asking tedious questions of the bored and tired… but in Paris). Amongst the talk of War Horse, Spielberg also spilled a little about upcoming projects, with the most interesting […]
I wasn't at the Tintin panel this morning because it clashed with Locke & Key and I had to make a call. I think I made the right one. However, the word around Comic Con is clear: Spielberg announced that Jurassic Park 4 is definitely in the works, likely to hit in 2013 or 2014 […]
Hannah Shaw-Williams writes for Bleeding Cool: Nothing is confirmed, no one has signed anything, nothing official has been said and nothing for sure is going to come of this. Caveat in place, let's make way for Jurassic Park 4! Wahey, dinosaurs and that! The Hollywood Reporter has uncovered some meetings going on between Steven Spielberg […]

Three ways to describe her style: Feminine, Classy, Sultry
Oh Audrey, what I would do to be a bit like you. Twin Peaks was the most amazing series I have probably ever watched, each character was so significant and it was just so wonderfully weird. Audrey wasn't my favourite character , but I loved her sense of style and her oddness. Tartan and brogues are always a positive for me and so that makes Audrey Horne my seventh style icon.

In 1992, Todd McFarlane and a group of Marvel artists grew frustrated by the pitiful royalties for the characters they were drawing, and envisioned a publishing house where they could work without the creative and financial infringement of the mainstream comics industry.
They called their creation Image Comics, a utopia of sorts, where they could tell the stories they wanted to tell, draw the characters they wanted to draw, and keep all the money to themselves.
Marvel suffered greatly. The sudden dearth of talent would eventually lead to the company’s famous bankruptcy in 1996, but meanwhile, Image Comics became one of the most popular imprints of the mid-’90s—and also one of the most creatively braindead. Every single book that came out of Image’s first era was covered in visors, and blood, and claws, and boobs, intended for kids nurtured on nerd-rage and desperate machismo. There was Witchblade, a comic about a gauntlet that pairs onto a female host, giving them superpowers and tearing off their clothes ‘til they look like this.
There was Youngblood, an inane superhero-mashup abomination which might still be the ugliest comic book of all time. And there was, um, “Babewatch,” Image’s month-long crossover event where they turned all their male superheroes into women.
The worst, and most successful, was Spawn. Spawn might be the most ‘90s artifact in human history, which is really saying something. A giant, sinewy, black-and-white demon who wasn’t afraid to kill the bad guys, the comic was the ultimate convergence of everything edgy (Spikes! Axes! Glowing green eyes!) in 1995.
He got his own movie, his own video game, the band Disturbed put a fake Spawn in one of their music videos. That’s kind of all you need to know. The book was ridiculously profitable: Its first issue sold a bananas 1.7 million issues, and the character is now probably responsible for more retrospective embarrassment than any other superhero on planet Earth.
But as those ‘90s kids grew up, Image’s momentum sputtered out. Maybe this had to do with Marvel and DC’s return to the spotlight amidst the ubiquitous Spider-Man and Batman movies, but a lot of those early Image titles were irrelevant by the time we got to the new millennium. Some of the publisher’s founding partners—Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, and Rob Liefeld—left in the late ‘90s over creative differences, and for a moment it seemed like the company was ready to keel over.
But instead, Image engaged in one of the most dramatic, successful about-faces in comic book history. Today they’re responsible for some of the best, most transgressive stories in the industry, a far-cry from the paper-thin themes they were previously known for.
Image was still publishing Spawn in the early 2000s, but they also debuted a grim, nuanced comic by a mostly unknown southerner named Robert Kirkman called The Walking Dead (yes, that one). No super powers, no super villains, just life and death in a broken world. It was a total departure from the books that made Image famous, but it was also something that wouldn’t get published at DC or Marvel, which turned out to be a powerful, attractive niche.
In the years since, Image has doubled down on the doors The Walking Dead opened, and now host the most impressive, creatively diverse rosters in all of comics: There’s Chew, a delightfully twisted crime story centered on detective Tony Chu, who gets a psychic sensation of what happened to anything he puts in his mouth; Saga, a pulpy, cosmic romance filled with deeply human characters, which made it the winner of the previous three Eisner Awards for Best Continuing Series; The Wicked + The Divine, which chronicles a world where ancient gods are reincarnated in the bodies of transcendent pop stars; Bitch Planet, Kelly Sue-DeConnick and Valentine De Landro’s hilarious, prescient, and deeply inclusive sci-fi send-up of women-in-prison movies.
In an industry that’s built on recycled tropes, antiquated characters, and dogmatic tradition, Image has become a mecca for writers and artists of all cultural dispositions who want to pursue their own visions, on their own terms.
When Todd McFarlane and those other artists formed Image back in 1992, one of their primary foundational tenets was that everything published under their brand would be creator-owned. The only trademark Image owns is, well, the name “Image.” This hasn’t changed. When you work at Image you keep all the rights and all the creative freedom.
Compare that to, say, Superman. If DC is letting you write a mainstream Superman book you’ll be saddled with certain expectations. There are exceptions, but generally you’re not going to be allowed to let Superman curse, or kill anyone, or come out as gay. It’s understandable—those ancient superhero brands come with a ton of cultural baggage, but a lot of creators will never get to tell the stories they’re truly passionate about within the confines of those pantheon-level characters.
Eric Stephenson, Image’s publisher since 2008, says he wants to encourage the wildest comics he can. He tells me that whenever anyone asks him what kind of books Image is looking for, he responds with “the kind of books you’ve always wanted to do.” He’s got a firm belief in the power of a galvanized creative team.
“Some companies do these relaunch things over and over again and dress them up with these worn out slogans from books they were putting out back in the ‘70s or whatever, but the core reason for Image’s continued success is the writers and artists we publish are doing fucking great comics,” says Stephenson. “Every single creator at Image Comics, no matter where they are in terms of experience or whatever, every single one of them is swinging for the fences, whether it’s a vet like Erik Larsen on Savage Dragon, long-time pros Jamie McKelvie and Kieron Gillen on The Wicked + The Divine or newcomers like Dan Watters and Caspar Wijngaard on Limbo. No one else at Image is really satisfied.”
The book that Stephenson sums up his company’s ethos is the aforementioned Chew. When the creative team of John Layman and Rob Guillory came up with their foodie, dystopian detective story back in 2009, they knew that Image was probably the only major publisher in the world willing to take a chance on it. Now, nearly 60 issues later, it stands as one of the most successful stories in all of comics.
“I’ve talked to so many writers and artists who have recounted stories about how they pitched something elsewhere—and sometimes the pitch has even been accepted—only to go through round after round of notes about what needs to be changed to make their idea palatable to the masses, and it’s like, no,” says Stephenson. “The idea’s either good or it isn’t, and there’s not a single fucking note I could have added to something like Saga or Lazarus or Black Science or Chew that would have made those books more successful.”
That creative freedom is seductive, but it’s also not entirely lucrative. Image doesn’t run ads, and creator-owned titles often come together on a modest budget. It’s much easier to take a chance on a radical concept when you’re not on the hook for a massive payroll.
“Image themselves aren't dumping a ton of development money into these books, unlike a Vertigo or a Dark Horse that pays full page rates, creates a marketing and PR budget, has a huge graphic design staff, and creates a lot convention swag,” says Brian Wood, an icon who's currently writing Image’s fantastic post-apocalyptic cooking comic Starve.
“When a publisher dumps $50K into a book even before its first issue hits the shelves, they're invested, they want to have a seat at the table and weigh in on things," Wood told me. "In my experience at Vertigo and Dark Horse the creator always has final say, but we aren't the only voice. At Image you are the only voice.”
This works out more often than you think. Saga might be the most popular comic book in the world right now. A pining romance novel set against a raging intergalactic war written by the legendary Brian K. Vaughan and drawn by breakout-star Fiona Staples, the first issue features TV-headed robot sex, childbirth, and horrific gore, which is something you’d traditionally find at a webcomic or enterprising indie studio.
“I think Image recognizes that the comic-reading audience is changing and clamoring for new voices and ideas,” says Sloane Leong, who draws the stunning new book From Under Mountains. “They’re willing to take risks and I think it pays off, if only to show their readers that they’re not just churning out the same old formulaic story over and over again.”
Image is still publishing Spawn every month, but otherwise, it’s hard to find many capes left on their roster. It’s strange to think that in a time where superheroes are at peak cultural relevance thanks to the Marvel movies, comic books are moving further and further away. Image has discovered that their best and most provocative stories aren’t in tights, which feels like more than just a trend.
“I think we’re kind of seeing the end of superheroes’ stranglehold on the comics market. The audience for comics is changing overall, and I think there are different types of readers looking for different types of books now,” says Stephenson.
Four years ago, Greg Hinkie was driving a bus. Three years ago, he was getting laid off from a video game company. Now, he’s basically his own boss, drawing the excellent Image miniseries Airboy.
Airboy stars semi-fictional versions of the book’s creative team, Hinkie and James Robinson, and has gotten very uncomfortably meta over the course of its run. There are entire passages where Robinson gets devastatingly honest about the state of his marriage, his mind, and his stalled career. It’s painful, but it’s also fascinating how willing they are to reveal themselves. In many ways, the comic typifies the kind of bizarre, off-kilter voices unique to Image.
But that anything-goes creative policy can be a blessing and a curse. In Airboy #2 the characters of Hinkie and Robinson go to an LGBT bar and hook up with some trans women, and, use unfortunate language like “trannie” and lean heavily into that archaic, tedious "trap" trope. It’s more complicated than it seems; this a book about unlikable men doing unlikable things, and in context you could certainly see what Robinson and Hinkie were going for, but it didn’t do enough to justify the disappointing slurs.
You have to think that if Airboy was published at Marvel, or Dark Horse, or Vertigo, or any other comics publisher, there might’ve been enough scrutiny to make the necessary edits before the book hit shelves. But this is Image, this is a creator-owned book, you live by the sword and you die by the sword.
“If we'd had a editorial bullpen combing through our book, no, I don't think we'd have had a problem. But we also wouldn't have made the same book. It would've been a different thing from the very beginning,” says Hinkie. “We'd definitely make less mistakes with more oversight, but we'd be making safer comics from the get-go. We wouldn't get to learn. The lack of barrier also means that we're directly responsible for our actions. It's the honor system. Sure, we can do whatever we want, but we're also responsible for what we do. I don't have a PR person covering my back, or spinning my public statements. I've never been so aware of my actions and words as I am now. And I don't think that's a bad thing!“
Airboy is still a great comic, but it’s also proof that the freedom of Image’s editorial policy can be a dangerous thing. I don’t think James Robinson or Greg Hinkie are transphobic, but they clearly weren’t paying enough attention. Errors in judgement will always happen as long as this organic creative policy is in place. Whether that’s worth it or not comes down to your perspective.
“If you make work palatable to everyone it’s going to be boring,” says Leong. “When you have incidents like slurs appearing in the work, it's a creative choice and giving creators that choice is part of the policy Image subscribes to. It's the same policy that lets me have a comic that is all people of color, something that a publisher might not find very ‘marketable.’ So the freedom cuts both ways. At the very least the work made the readers have a reaction, whether it's disgust or hate or inspiration or comfort. But I think the audience at large, which is filled with more marginalized people every day, will determine what kind of comics survive.”
Luke Winkie is a writer and former pizza maker living in Los Angeles. In addition to Fusion he contributes to Gawker, Sports Illustrated, Vice, Red Bull, and where ever else good content can be found.

Most Popular Twitch Streamers in 2022
Twitch streamers have grown in popularity, with some even achieving “celebrity” status. Platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook have increased at an exponential rate in the age of digital media. Twitch grew by around 80% from the start of the pandemic in March 2020 to March 2021, according to the Chimes. It corresponds to 1.8 billion hours of Twitch viewing, a significant increase from 1.1 billion hours the previous year.
With the numbers increasing year after year, it’s interesting to see who the most popular creators/streamers are, and this article lists the Most Popular Twitch Streamers in 2022.
Streaming online is one of the simplest ways to make money. In live streaming, people go online and broadcast their skills to the globe, and in return, they get a massive fan base and millions of dollars in monetization money from brand works and streaming platforms.
Following are the Top 10 Twitch Streamers in 2022.
Of course, who else but Ninja could be the most successful Twitch streamer? Without a doubt, this guy has been a Twitch rock star. Ninja, real name Tyler Blevins, is an example of how hard and consistent work pays off in the long run. He began as a video game enthusiast and progressed to become a professional gamer.
Tyler became active with Fortnite a few years later, making them an up-and-coming celebrity in the gaming world. Ninja’s Twitch channel currently has approximately 18 million subscribers. It’s no surprise that it draws so many people – his straight hands, combined with his precise aim, work wonders.
Pokimane is regarded as one of the top female gaming broadcasters in the industry, with over 9.2 million Twitch followers and over 6.6 million on YouTube. The account holder’s name is Imane Anys.
Her top three games are Just Chatting, Valorant, and Life is Strange, and as of May 2022, she has also begun a podcast with QXC, albeit there is only one episode. Pokimane has had numerous sponsorships, including WB Multiverse and NZXT, and has developed her line of personalized apparel. Imane’s films frequently receive 500,000 to 600,000 views, and her net worth is around $3 million.
Summit1 G’s name is Jaryd Russell Lazar. He is a native American Twitch streamer and a Counter-Strike gamer. He also streams Grand Theft Auto V, Escapes from Tarkov, Valorant, Hearthstone, Foxhole, and other games. Summit1 G began using Twitch in 2012. He has almost 6 million followers and receives over 550 million views daily. Summit1G surpassed Twitch as the most popular channel in 2018. His streams have been watched for a total of 416 million hours.
Michael Grzesiek, a Canadian citizen, is the gamer known as Shroud and was previously one of the top-tier professional Counter-Strike players for team Cloud9. As a matter of fact, he was still a member of Cloud9 when they triumphed on Boston Major in 2018. However, he was benched and didn’t play at all. Shroud later retired to become a full-time Twitch streamer.
Shroud has over 10 million Twitch followers, with numerous seven-figure view counts, and approximately 7 million YouTube subscribers as Shroudy Rowdy. He has also received various sponsorships from firms such as Logitech and Nitrado, in addition to over 3,000 paid members.
Michael is one of the most animated and exciting broadcasters on the internet. His favorite games include V Rising, Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodhunt, Diablo Immortal, and World of Warcraft. In addition to that, he also likes to gamble on CS:GO and play it again from time to time.
Riot Games is the only video game developer on the list. It has six million fans who like watching epic League of Legends streaming. In general, the station’s massive audience is due to the multiple Esports events officially hosted on the channel. LCS is one such example.
If you haven’t noticed, the tournament is recognized for its enormous production value, mostly seen through its sophisticated use of VFX. While a bedroom streamer can’t do much, some tips can help, such as obtaining a Twitch offline banner, using the right software, and even locating the best bots.
Lirik is a Twitch streamer from the United States. His real name is Saqib Ali Zahid, and he has 2.9 million followers. He is sponsored by Discord as a Twitch streamer.
Lirik began Twitch streaming in 2011. He used to play World of Warcraft before switching to DayZ. He moved to Pubg in 2017. His feeds have been watched for a total of 262 million hours.
Lirik announced a brief hiatus from live streaming in January 2018. A week later, he returned and signed a multi-year contract with Twitch.
Aside from the personalities named above, live broadcasting has helped many others acquire notoriety. Twitch is an online gaming platform where anyone can show their gaming abilities to an audience. They are compensated for this and become well-known as a result.
If you enjoy playing video games, you can earn money by live streaming them on Twitch. Twitch’s popularity has grown steadily since its inception, and many consider it a valuable source of income.

Reality television shows present something of a challenge for the sound folks on the set. This is especially true of the shows, like Big Brother, where the cast members are often shirtless, or otherwise clad in something difficult to hook a clip-on (also known as a lapel, lavalier or just "lav" for short) microphone to - bikinis at the beach or by the pool, etc.
So you may have noticed (from 2013) Frank, "Boogie", Ashley, Ian, Jenn, Joe, and companions wearing lanyards around their necks and carrying around little boxes with antennae on them. In case you hadn't already guessed, these are lavalier (clip-on) microphones and bodypack transmitters (since these are wireless systems like the Sennheiser Evolution Series.)
On a set where people wear shirts and the scene is blocked and scripted, the actors' voices are picked up by shotgun mics (like the Sennheiser MKH 416), which allow for excellent sound when the voice is a couple of feet away from the mic, which is just off-screen.
And indeed they do have some shotgun mics hanging from the ceiling around the Big Brother house. But in a reality show, you can't have a sound guy following every actor around with a shotgun mic on a fish pole. So the shotgun mics are usually too far away to get good sound.
The voice has to be close to the mic or it sounds too echo-y and reverb-y. And the cast can't all wear headset mics like in the picture at the top left. So the only way to get good sound quality on the voices of the Big Brother house guests (HGs) is to have them wear lapel/lavalier mics.
But you have to attach them to something. Lavs usually come with an alligator clip so you can clip them onto ties, lapels or folds in a shirt or blouse, etc. But it would be pretty painful to pinch these onto your skin.
So the alternative is to hang them around the neck on a rope, cord, or "lanyard," like the Countryman Magnetic Mount. That is what the HGs are wearing around their necks - microphones attached to neck lanyards.
But these are wireless microphones, so in addition to the mic necklace, HGs have to carry around bodypack transmitters.
The way wireless lav systems work is that the mic plugs into the bodypack transmitter, which then wirelessly transmits the audio to the receiver (another box) that is hooked up to the audio recording device or directly to the video camera.
So wonder no longer! Often times the thing that makes the difference between amateur and professional video is the audio quality, and a lav mic is much better (if you don't have a shotgun mic) than using a mic that is built-into the video camera, which is too far away to get decent sound. To hear this for yourself, see my review of a wireless lavalier mic here: Audio For Video: Do Not Let Bad Sound Ruin Great Video.

It’s easy to think that the group of songs we call “Standards” and the “Great American Songbook” emerged with a quality of “timelessness” directly from the musical or film for which they were written. In fact, as originally performed-without the intervention of jazz-most of these songs would have fallen quickly off the vine and disappeared as fast as Chewing Gum Losing Its Flavor on the Bedpost (overnight).
The body of music written by Berlin, Arlen, Rodgers, Kern and co. was rooted in late 19th and early 20th century musical conventions and has continually been re-conceived, rejuvenated and adapted by jazz to changing aesthetics. There are three basic tools used to affect the alchemy: First, infusing swing and other rhythmic approaches and exploring alternate tempos. Second, updating chord structures, with an emphasis on harmony conducive to improvisation. Third, turning down the “heat;” imparting a certain emotional detachment; not that emotion wasn’t important in communicating the message of the song through jazz, but its use is more nuanced; cooler, a respite from the heavy-handedness that often weighed down the original versions. The result is the creation of hundreds of free-floating musical entities, unbound by the aesthetic strictures of any one era.
The way to make my point is with examples. According to the website, www.jazzstandards.com, these are the top ten most recorded tunes in the jazz canon, along with the year of their composition. Notice these are all 30’s and 40’s tunes (in the top 300, there are only a handful written after 1950-but that’s another story). To show how the alchemy works, I’m going to take the first five of these tunes and post the earliest recordings I can find of them performed in the original style and compare that with the earliest versions I can find in the jazz context.
1. 1930 Body and Soul
2. 1939 All the Things You Are
3. 1935 Summertime
4. 1944 Round Midnight
5. 1935 I Can’t Get Started
6. 1937 My Funny Valentine
7. 1942 Lover Man
8. 1930 What Is This Thing Called Love
9. 1933 Yesterdays
10.1946 Stella By Starlight
Body and Soul, written by Johnny Green in 1930 for stage star Gertrude Lawrence was recorded by singer Helen Morgan in the same year. The vocal has a rubato, recitatif quality to it, with plenty of vibrato. It fits comfortably in the stylistic parameters of the era. It’s post-Parlor Music, with a bit of art song harmony and the heightened emotion of European cabaret. Morgan does the verse (the first section of the song before the chorus), which most jazz versions-unfortunately- don’t include.
Louis Armstrong also recorded Body and Soul in 1930. Right away we have the parallel universe of jazz made manifest. The Armstrong version is a dance record, with a steady swing rhythm. He approaches the tune with some measure of emotional commitment, but he completely displaces the melody rhythmically and his rendition, both vocally and on his horn, opens onto a different world than that represented by Helen Morgan.
All The Things You Are comes from the 1939 show Very Warm For May by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein. Although the recording below is not of that period, it’s stylistically appropriate. It’s a romantic duet in harmony and counterpoint for soprano and baritone, in an essentially operatic style, with light accompaniment touches provided by a melodic background chorus and orchestra.
The Artie Shaw Orchestra had a great run with All The Things You Are, starting in 1939. The Shaw version moves up the tempo. There’s a short orchestral opening and some jaunty piano leading to Shaw’s clarinet. Shaw uses little vibrato and a varied rhythmic approach with considerable bending of notes. Vocalist Helen Forrest comes with a Billie Holiday sensibility-little vibrato, small shakes at the end of a phrase, just a small catch in her voice.
Summertime was written as an aria for the 1935 George Gershwin-DuBose Hayward opera Porgy and Bess. Here, it’s sung by Anne Brown, the originator of the Bess role. Again, even though it’s a slightly later recording, it’s performed as it would originally have been. The languid nature of the song is belied by the energetic orchestral introduction. Brown sings operatically, with choral background and orchestra playing a lean and sophisticated harmony behind the expressive soprano voice.
Jazz musicians have altered Summertime in some pretty radical and the difference between the original and Billie Holiday’s 1936 version is night and day. We start with trumpet growling on plunger mute and go from there. It’s at least double the tempo of the original, with a strong blues inflection. Jazz musicians tended to strip away certain cliché approaches from songs and add passing and substitute chords, but most seem not to be comfortable with Gershwin’s repeated augmented chords, with their whole tone free-floating implications and have moved the song harmonically so it fits more squarely into the category of blues. Note that, even though the lyrics are actually somewhat upbeat, the tempo and approach of the original vocal belie that, while Holiday’s version affirms its subtle lyrical optimism.
Round Midnight is the first of our standards written after 1940, and by a composer who came not from Tin Pan Alley or Broadway, but from jazz-Thelonius Monk. The contrast in approaches between the two examples illustrates the fast, dramatic changes in jazz due to the onset of Bop. The first recording of the song was done by Cootie Williams in 1944. After a short dramatic opening, Cootie states the melody-notably, without his usual plunger mute. He plays straightforwardly; at first, even stiffly. There are some hip voicings in the band behind him, but the chord changes are not ones that Cootie-a swing player-would have necessarily known how to handle and there is almost no improvisation in this recording. There’s a typical big band ending.
In 1946, innovator Dizzy Gillespie added an intro and coda which have since become closely associated with this song and other ballads (like I Can’t Get Started). Following Diz’s hip intro and a short improvised piano solo, Diz states the tune with some ornamentation-alone and then with Lucky Thompson. Milt Jackson then improvises with threads of the melody still present, but with more freedom. Thompson’s solo is basically a restatement of the melody. Al Haig’s solo is hipper; an improvisation based less on the melody, more on the chords, Diz takes it out dramatically, in his upper register and then with a brief tag ending, which has been widely adopted.
Speaking of I Can’t Get Started-The tune was first sung by Bob Hope in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1936. I couldn’t find a recording of the song in that context, so I’m substituting Hope doing a duet of Thanks for the Memory with Shirley Ross in 1938. The two songs are fairly similar and the performance is what I imagine Hope’s performance of I Can’t Get Started would have been- fairly understated, slightly quavery tone, sincere.
Hot trumpet player Bunny Berigan had a big hit with his redo of the tune in 1937. Bunny’s version was largely a showcase for his playing. The fast vibrato in his vocal is very pop-like, but it’s jazzy in its rhythmic flexibility. He starts with a “dramatic” opening trumpet statement-slightly cheesy-followed by a simple statement of the melody on trumpet. He sings the tune with an ease of phrasing and some ornamentation, rhythmic displacement and manipulation of the melody. Instead of vibrato, per se, he uses fairly heavy “shakes” at the end of phrases. The out-chorus builds drama by contrasting his lowest register with his highest.
There is plenty of meat on the bones of these well-crafted songs, ample to inspire 100 years of improvisation and creative arranging. From Louis Armstrong through Keith Jarrett and new innovators, jazz has given this music a half-life well beyond what might have been imagined. This synergy created arguably the most sophisticated vector of American music-a fertile cross-pollination that has given rise to musical efflorescence in the U.S. and around the world.

The book and 2004 movie Friday Night Lights told the true story of a small town Texas high school football team and their quest for the state championship. Now, that story is the inspiration for NBC's new drama of the same name. Friday Night Lights the TV show also deals with a small town Texas high school football team as they strive to win a state championship and adopts a lot of the stylistic cues from the film. It certainly makes for compelling television, but it also runs the risk of becoming a movie stretched to season length.
Set in the present-day in the fictional small town of Dillon, Texas, Friday Night Lights begins at the start of the high school football season. The Dillon Panthers are considered the best high school team in Texas and we see the team treated almost like celebrities. A local NBC news crew follows the team in the days leading up to their first game of the season. The season is a pivotal one as it is the first for new head coach, Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler), the team's former offensive coordinator. He's under pressure from multiple sides — from town leaders to ordinary people worried about his ability to lead the team to a state championship.
We're introduced to some of the key players on the team. Jason Street (Scott Porter), is the team's starting quarterback, a phenom being scouted by Notre Dame. He's in love with cheerleader Lyla Garrity (Minka Kelly), whose father is a town big shot with his own car dealership. In comparison, there is Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford), the team's backup quarterback, who lives with his grandmother and doesn't look to see one minute of playing time. Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) is the team's premier fullback, but he has issues both with alcohol and black teammate “Smash” Williams (Gaius Charles).
It wouldn't be a drama if things went exactly as expected and when the Panthers finally play, they find that their opponents are tougher than they expected. After a brisk start, things go downhill as the Panthers' play gets sloppy. Just when they think they'll be able to bounce back, quarterback Jason Street is badly injured. Matt, nervous as hell, comes into the game and somehow does enough for the Panthers to win. However, things are uncertain for the team as it looks like Street may not be playing again anytime soon…if ever.
This pilot episode was written and directed by Peter Berg, the director of the movie version. Overall, the episode feels exactly like the movie, from the camera work to suffocating way it portrays small town life for a football coach. The dialogue feels realistic and I like that you get to see simple things absent from some dramas like people praying. Kyle Chandler, a solid TV veteran, does a very good job with the role and doesn't imitate Billy Bob Thornton. The young cast is also quite good. There are a lot of characters in this show, so it will take future episodes to really see how good all of them are.
If there is one problem with Friday Night Lights. It is that it's a little too close to the movie. Anyone who has seen the film could've guessed that the star player would be injured since that also happened in the movie. I'm glad they decided to give one of the players an alcohol problem (instead of a player's father, as in the movie), but it is still too similar to what was done before. I'm really hoping in future episodes the show takes steps to separate itself more from the movie. It is not going to be worth watching every week if it's just going to take a portion of the film and stretch it to an hour's worth of TV.
Friday Night Lights has the potential to become one of the best new drama series this season. As evidenced by MTV's popular (and acclaimed) documentary series Two-A-Days, high school football can be the backdrop for plenty of drama. If this show can step out of the shadow of the movie it's inspired by, it could be a staple of NBC's drama lineup for years to come.Powered by Sidelines

There is a little tagline people like to use when talking about Walt Disney...
"It all started with a mouse."
And it did. Oswald. Mortimer (to become Mickey).
But at Hollywood Studios, we watched Walt Disney: One Man's Dream. You walk through a museum, a timeline of the life and work of Walt Disney. Then you watch a 15 minute movie about his life.
And that's where we learned the most important thing about Disney World. And it has nothing to do with a mouse.
Walt Disney had all his time and money tied up in the company, in the movies, in the characters. However, he gave every Saturday to his daughters - Daddy and Daughter Day. They would go out and find fun things for the girls to do. And Walt realized that he wanted to find a place where they could go and have fun together.
So he created that place - Disneyland.
A place where the family could go and have fun together.
In moments of exhaustion and heat and hunger and frustration... I kept going back to the reason Disneyland and Disney World were created. To have a place where families could go and have fun together.
And for the most part, that's what we did!

Gold: The Best Of Spandau Ballet
Spandau Ballet were originally a punk-ish band clapped The Makers, apparently, gigging around their native North London area. Their name was changed after “Spandau Ballet” was seen as graffiti on a Berlin toilet cubicle wall. They seemed to embrace the pretentiousness that certain groups emerging from the post-punk movement adhered to. They suddenly converted themselves from North London “lads’ to foppish dandies, swanning around in billowing blouses wearing eyeliner and the singer, Tony Hadley, adopted that sonorous, haughty voice that so many “New Romantic” singers seemed to do. All of this never seemed to sit too comfortably with them, to be honest. While in the seventies, some members of Sweet and Mud never seemed happy in their glam get-up, I always felt that the somewhat oik-ish members of “the Ballet” were trying, unsuccessfully and laughably, to gentrify themselves. Either way, the image seemed to go down well at the time, and they were stuck with it.
As for the music, their punk roots were forgotten and they caught on to the electronic/funky rhythms of the era for their first few singles. Their first, 1980’s To Cut A Long Story Short was a classic New Romantic single - that deep, pompously delivered vocal and a lively funky backing with some killer riffs. Muscle Bound was more thumping and industrial, but again it had a catchy chorus. They had hit on a skill of writing songs with very memorable hooks. Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) was a supreme piece of New Romantic disco funk and really caught the zeitgeist. It was very rhythmic and again had, as the title suggested, a chantable chorus. Instinction and the very poppy, singalong Lifeline provided some mid-range hits before they struck it really big, just at the point when the whole New Romantic thing was beginning to fade away. They did so with a copper-bottomed end of the evening disco smoocher in True, with its lyric about “listening to Marvin (Gaye) all night long…”. It had a real loved-up feel and some great saxophone in it too. This was followed up with another impossibly catchy number in the grandiose Gold, featuring yet another mannered vocal from Hadley.
The soulful, melodic Only When You Leave was also a big hit, but then the times began to change. Music went into a period of nothingness and dance music beats began to take over. For whatever reason, there was no desire for whatever it was Spandau Ballet had, there was one final big hit in the credible Through The Barricades. That was pretty much that. In later years, there have been some unfortunate legal wranglings between members of the group and brothers Martin and Gary Kemp went into acting. Tony Hadley is still recording in his own right. This is a fine reminder, however, of when their light shone really brightly and, along with Duran Duran, they were the biggest chart act around.

City Siege 3: Jungle Siege
The say war is hell, but presumably that's only if The Podge isn't around, raining its own brand of action-packed platform shooter-yness all over the internets like some sort of glorious gaming Santa Clause. In City Siege 3: Jungle Siege, the follow up to Resort Siege, your little roly-poly headed commandos get in touch with their Rambo sides as they take out the notorious Baddies in jungle environments.
Move your troops safely through each mission, clicking to select one and using the [WASD] or [arrow] keys to move, and the mouse to aim and shoot. Perform well to net stars to upgrade your units, as well as some cha-ching cha-ching to recruit more soldiers. Blast the enemies before they blast you, and try to avoid perforating any civilians. It turns out the army doesn't really think it's funny when you fill out your casualty report with "Looks like they... had a blast." and attach a picture of David Caruso. Yes, even if you include an MP3 with the appropriate sound byte. No, I don't know what their problem is either!
City Siege 3 features all of the action of its predecessors, so fans of the series will feel right at home and will probably welcome the new terrains and work that has been put into balancing your troops. Aiming your weapon still takes some getting used to, as your crosshairs don't always feel like they're much more than a rough guide as to where your bullets might land, and if you take out all the Baddies on a stage before you've rescued everyone, the level will still end abruptly and award you with a puny silver medal instead of the gleaming gold you so rightly deserve. (Who's bitter?) Blowing up your surroundings and watching your combos stack up is still entertaining, however, and if you want a spot of bloodless shooter action City Siege is hard to beat. So get your supplies ready and get to da choppa, because you're off to the jungle. Go on, get all Bear Grylls on their heineys!

It was Winston Churchill’s finest hour, as he galvanised
Britain against the Nazi threat.
And for the actor playing him in a new film, the role was a challenge.
The 58-year-old Briton had to prove to himself he could give a convincing portrayal of the wartime leader before taking the part.
But can you spot his identity behind the cigar and beneath the make-up?
It is a total transformation for the film star, who has previously played a punk, an assassin, a spy chief and classic horror figure.
The Londoner has also performed on stage and TV, while his film work has earned him an Oscar nomination and two Bafta awards – one for a script he wrote.
He stars as Churchill in Darkest Hour, directed by Joe Wright.
The film is set in May and June 1940, when Churchill became prime minister after the resignation of Neville Chamberlain.
It relates how he gave the nation backbone for the fight against Hitler, telling his Cabinet and the Commons: ‘I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.’
By June, he was able to declare that the Allies would never surrender, pledging: ‘We shall fight them on the beaches.’
The film from Working Title and Universal Pictures , which is still in production and due in US cinemas from November 24, 2017,and in UK cinemas from December 29,2017, also stars Kristin Scott Thomas as Clementine Churchill, Ben Mendelsohn as King George VI, John Hurt as Chamberlain and Lily James as Churchill’s speech typist.

[Hip Hop En Español] Self Provoked, Aleman and Tocadiscos Trez Drop the English / Spanish Music Video “L.A.D.F.”
Hip-hop may have its origins in the Bronx, but the genre has spread thousands of miles across the globe since its humble beginnings in the late ’70’s. Today the story of rap music is like that of many new innovations that, once they become institutionalized as part of the mainstream and pop culture, they lose their edge. It is an example of how success can kill creativity and narrow the range of what is possible. This is true with music and particularly true when once Hip Hop becomes mainstream. Music evolution causes the rise and fall of genres over time and in order for rappers to survive they might need to sacrifice some of their originality and allow commercial trends dictate their musical style. It’s kind of fun, mainstream artists and media outlets reject underground Hip Hop just as much as underground heads reject the mainstream sound.
Despite of what has become of Hip-Hop culture in the US, Spanish Hip Hop reawakened my love for the music and it’s culture. International Spanish Hip Hop has been gaining spot light for a good 20 to 30 years now and has still be able manage to, for the most part remain influence free from the mainstream. Spanish Hip Hop has produced a series of legends and award winning groups and artists from across Latin America and Spain. Some of the stand-out artists that have left their footprint in the history of Spanish Hip Hop are Mexico’s Control Machete, Tiro de Gracia and Ana Tijoux from Chile. From Spain there is Mala Rodriguez, Orishas from Cuba. Sindicato Argentino del Hip Hop from Argentina and Colombia’s Tres Coronas.
One of the rappers currently making wave in the next generation of Hip Hop in Mexico is Aleman and last November JDS Films made posable for Aleman to link up with Self Provoked, a Los Angeles, CA based rapper whom has been helping pave the path for the next generation of Golden State MC’s. The Song is titled “L.A.D.F.” and is produced by Louden Beats and the video was shot and directed by JDS Films in Mexico City and presented as an exclusive of The Cypher Effect Hip Hop Music Network. The song artistically tries to bridge the gap between conflicting emotions, styles and language into one voice. A English / Spanish rap song is by no means new, but there are things that truly sets “L.A.D.F.” apart from other bi-lingual videos have been released in recent times. Although the video was shot in Mexico the song’s production facilitates the mood of the track and gives you the feeling of being both 100 % Los Angeles and 100 % Mexico at the same time. Together Aleman and Self Provoked are lively, smooth and aggressive. The song’s cuts are courtesy Tocadiscos Trez who you may have seen touring across Mexico and the US as Pato Machete’s official DJ.

No Man's Sky creator Sean Murray hasn't posted anything on Twitter in a full month now, reinforcing the idea that the dev is huddling down amidst the lies and misleading ad campaign.
I've been watching Sean Murray's Twitter account for a bit now, and I'm not really surprised that he hasn't Tweeted anything for a month. No Man's Sky continues getting patched--a new patch rolled out for the game on PS4 today--yet Murray remains completely silent. This is probably one of the worst things he can do right now, and most gamers think he's just laying low to let all the chaos roll over until everyone forgets about No Man's Sky and moves on. Meanwhile the official Hello Games account hasn't Tweeted in weeks either, with its last update on August 27.
In order to salvage the wreckage that is No Man's Sky and Hello Games' public image, Murray needs to shed some light on what went wrong. Why did he lie about the game? Why was the game missing so many features? What happened? These are questions he needs to answer, and I think there's a huge reason why he can't: it'd breach the contract he signed with Sony. Even still, he needs to do something. He can't just pretend nothing happened. I know the devs are likely busting their ass with updates, but the majority of gamers see him swimming in the millions of hype-bucks he conned off of naive gamers. To illustrate Murray's silence, Redditor MasRemap made this infographic:
Will Sean Murray finally say something soon? Will he apologize and try to make up for the misleading advertisements and outright lies? Surely he can't be content with being compared with the likes of Peter Molyneaux and Gearbox--no developer actively wants to achieve such a thing.
On the other hand, I can see why he doesn't Tweet anything, especially if he's beholden to an NDA. Anything he'd say would be hit with a torrent of "your game sucks!" or "you lied! No Man's Lie!", so that probably turns him away from the platform altogether. But at the same time, he has to do something--to say something.
Being totally silent makes him look all the more guilty with every passing week.
In a rather smarmy move, Sony recently tried to put all the blame for No Man's Sky's failed advertisements and over-promising hype on Hello Games. Sony might not have made the game, but they absolutely share a portion of the blame for completely advertising the game at every turn: every week Sony's PlayStation Blog put up a new trailer of bit of content hyping No Man's Sky, directly contributing to the misleading hype that ultimately fell through.
In any case, I personally think Hello Games signed a specific deal with Sony and that's why they can't talk about the development process or admit any blame. If I'm wrong, then it means they're cons...but I don't think it's that simple. I don't think Sean Murray or Hello Games made this game in order to rip everyone off; it's certainly a case of developer and buyer beware, but I genuinely don't think the devs went into this whole thing as a get rich scheme.
We're totally focused on customer support right now. Then we'll move onto improving and adding features to the game 👗 Sean Murray (@NoMansSky) August 18, 2016

- The imaginary persona "played" by the player of a RPG.
- Character Build System
- Term for a chargen system in which the player starts with a "default" character (often a "blank slate", with no skills, advantages, or anythihng else) and a pool of points with which he or she can "buy" parts of the character until it approximates the character he or she wants to play. GURPS and Hero are the two most well known RPGs that work this way.
- short for character generation, the process of creating a player character for use in a RPG. Usually one of two methods: character build or random-roll, depending on the RPG being used.

Well this sound board is for all of you who like jerry jackson.
When you click the picture in the corner it should link to his site, sorry if it doesn't work.
(The adverts one always makes me laugh.)
EDIT: everyone who wants to know where to download the lol song, click on dia-bolical next to audio and it should take you there.
Yes i agree there should defenetly be a Jerry Jackson soundboard but this one wasn't too good,there wasn't that many phrases by Jerry Jackson on here and they we're very hard to click on so maybe you could fix that and put in a lot more phrases by the great Jerry Jackson. :)
Woot but misses 1 thing
Heh you should have put the "Chocolate man in da way" thing(Don't remember from wich cart2n)
But in overall, i liked it :)
Especially the LOL SONG
it's rate gash
I know some people don't like Jerry Jackson, though this is pretty uninspiring even if you think he's the second coming. Many of the clips are too long, though the whole Jerry Jackson concept isn't really about catchphrases, which is what a soundboard is all about.
Lucky7vick1 is a fag
Jerry Jackson is my mesiah. He could kick jesus' ass any day of the week. HE IS GOD. And Lucky7vick1, the guy who reviewed this before me, is a flaming queen who jacks off to Sexual Sensations 3!
It's like the soundboards od soundboards...
You even have a LOL remix! That's just amazing, but you're gonna have to update it a little 'cause some more things have come out since then I think...

- What is it about the 80s era that you are drawn to?
I just love how BIG everything was back then in every way. The fashion choices, hairstyles, makeup, synths, drums, etc! It was such an excessive time and unapologetically gaudy. I'm obsessed with that! That's why I wanted to incorporate that concept into the LP title and "MEGA" just popped into my head.
- What is your favorite band or artist from that era?
Somewhere between naked and a rainbow faux fur jacket.
I've been a singer forever. I feel like as singers you're always getting "discovered" by new people at different parts of your career but the first time anyone realized I could sing I was 4 and I sang at my Kindergarten graduation. I didn't tell anyone and my parents were like omg what's happening. Afterward, people were like, "she's good! put her in musical theater!" So I did that for most of my life and I still love musical theater so much.
It's always different. People are people and they have their own ways of doing things. You just have to be positive and ready to adapt to the vibe in the room.
My favorite song I've ever written is a song called "Wild". We are re-thinking the production of it for the new album but the bones of the record are what make it so special to me. One of my favorite people in the world taught me to play the piano a few years back and it's helped me so much with my writing. I was going through some stuff and I sat down at the piano and wrote the record and put chords to it and it was such cathartic. It's really special to me and my favorite song to perform! (thanks jwb<3)
I think most of the time. But so many amazing people have definitely helped me along the way. I'm kind of all over the place so it's good to have other creatives around to bounce ideas off of. I've made a bunch of videos with this artist named Rook and he's one of my favorite people to work with because he thinks I'm crazy and says working on my concepts is like "going down the rabbit hole." I love Alice in Wonderland so I don't mind haha. For this album though I really am trying to work with as many females as possible. I recently did a photoshoot with this fab female photographer named Meesh out in L.A. and it was so perfect!
I'm still putting the live show together! I definitely want it to be SPECTACLE honey!!! So I need to really come at it like it's a production and not just a performance. The musical theater baby inside of me needs a keytar and dancers for this tour.
I've started editing my own videos so that's a new talent I'm working on currently.
It was so fast! Fantasy Boy came out of the left-field but opened up an entirely new chapter in my career and gave me a direction I didn't even know I was looking for! It honestly took like 2 hours. It was so meant to be. I like to think it was a little gift from the universe.

Prabhas is an actor who is more recognized by his character Amarendra Baahubali. Fondly called the “rebel” star by his fans, the actor has garnered acclaim and international fan following through his work.
Prabhas is a super shy and reserved person by nature. He’s known to stay low and talk limitedly. Whenever people asked him if he wanted to be an actor in his childhood, he’d reply negatively. His mother, too, supported him as she didn’t want him to go through the cut-throat competition in the industry among the actors.
He was interested in getting into the business world or agriculture. His father and uncle believed that movies could work for him, and they tried to convince him. He would see his cousins meeting people and getting pictures clicked while he took his time deciding whether he wanted to pursue acting. When he was 18 or 19, he finally told his father that he wished to be an actor. He was shocked.
But, if his co-stars are to be believed, then Prabhas takes some time to open up with new people. Once he gets comfortable, he’s the most talkative person in the room and is fun to be around. They also say that his company is not awkward due to his shyness. Instead, he’s welcoming.
Prabhas is a big-time foodie. His co-stars keep praising him for spoiling them with delicious food. But he’s particular about his food as well. He has to have 20-30 different dishes on the table for him to start eating. Once, his brother had got everything ready on the table in his farmhouse when he was gone for football practice.
At 02:00 AM, he came back, looked at 30 different cuisines on the table, and made a fuss about not finding the chutney. He maintained that he wouldn’t start eating until he got his chutney. So, at 02:00 AM, his brother went home, made his wife cook chutney, and brought it to him at 03:00, and then only he ate.
Prabhas fondly calls everyone “darling” on the sets. He is not aware of how he caught on the word. He loved Puri so much that he addressed him as darling during the making of the film Bujjigadu. Puri liked how he said it, so used it in the film, and later made a film called Darling. Puri and Rajamouli also addressed him as darling in public on various occasions like audio launches and became his permanent nickname.
Prabhas is known to be extremely lazy off-screen. He’s told his co-stars on sets of Rajamouli that if they want comfort, they should stay with him, else hard work is waiting with Rajamouli. His co-actors also confirm this by saying that he gathers all his energy for a shot, and the moment the shot is over, he’s back to his lazy self.
Prabhas acting career has had a lineup of such diverse and dynamic films that may make many actors envy him. Post his first hit movie Varsham, Prabhas has managed to attract work that explores his acting skills, and he can present people with different stories each time. Films like Darling, Mr. Perfect, and Baahubali gave him the variety he and his audience needed now and then.
He's a phenomenal actor and gains critical acclaim for all his performances, but he remains harsh with himself. Except for his role as Baahubali, he has never been satisfied with his performances and always remains feeling like he could’ve done better.
Prabhas always wanted to be a part of a big and memorable film. He got that opportunity in Baahubali. He took the risk and dedicated his entire four-year time to the movie. He gained weight and trained with Mr.World. He had producers chasing him because he had a streak of hit movies, but he didn’t sign any film during his Baahubali period. He even rejected endorsements worth 18 crores to stay dedicated and focused on the film. There was a time when he was stressed about money.
But it was all worth it when the movie made a 1000 crore mark on the global box office. He got international fame, and he became the first south Indian actor to have a wax statue at Madame Tussauds in London.
Prabhas is actively engaged in providing help wherever needed. He’s aware of his surroundings and, therefore, came forward to adopt a 1650 acre reserve forest for two crores. Prabhas took this initiative under the Green India challenge. The Kazipally reserve forest is known for its medicinal plants.
During the covid-19 crisis, Prabhas donated 3cr. to PM relief funds and 50 lakh each to the CM relief funds of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana. He also donated 50 Lakh to help the daily wage earners in the Telugu industry.
Prabhas is an actor with immense talent and a legacy of work in the industry. Even with his larger-than-life fame, the actor remains humble and down-to-earth. Staying close to his school friends, he stays close to reality and doesn’t let stardom get to his head. With his work inside and outside the industry, the actor has just been winning hearts

Top 10 Most Underrated Deep Purple Songs
The Top Ten Most Underrated Deep Purple Songs
This is just great, especially the middle of the song. Play this song loud because it sounds much better loud. - Metal_Treasure
GREAT SONG AND VERY UNDERRATED ALBUM.
A true Masterpiece, Period. Also Hard Lovin Man and Kentucky woman
This is one of the most unique songs I've ever heard. Besides its awesome riff, rhythm and melody, it has 2 guitar solos, 1 keyboards solo, 1 drum solo and even a killer bass solo!
The song demonstrates great songwriting skills at every level but the most amazing thing is that all these solos don't sound like patches. I can't even believe that a song of this type came out in 1972. Black Label Society did a cover in 2012. - Metal_Treasure
My absolute favorite tune
This beautiful piece was released in 1969 and it's mostly instrumental. It's over 12 min long, and has progressive elements and symphonic arrangements. I guess it came out too early... - Metal_Treasure
One of their best song!
Unigue riff, symphonic feel, 2 guitar solos and Gillan's growls towards the end. Many Deep Purple songs have 2 and more solos - something that became a trend in metal music. - Metal_Treasure
To the best of my knowledge, this was the first speed metal song ever, released in 1970 (Highway Star came out in 1972).
Ear raping vocals from Ian Gillan and again - 2 guitar solos. I like better the first solo but the outro solo is one of the longest, craziest and heaviest Blackmore solos. - Metal_Treasure
This riff is awesome. - Metal_Treasure
Experts called this song a "goth metal treasure". One of my favorite Deep Purple riffs (1974). - Metal_Treasure
I don't think this song is underrated. - zxm
This song isn't underrated!
Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming? - haha, I'd say Ian Gillan screams all the time, not only sometimes. He's one of the best screamers of all time and the first one who became famous for his screams. - Metal_Treasure
@IronSabbathPriest - thanks a lot for adding this song. It's really underrated - I mean I forgot it, too... I'm gonna put it on my remix to get it closer to the top 10. - Metal_Treasure
Why would Ritchie Blackmore leave because of this?!
This song is one of my favourites. Really groovy and catchy riff that builds well. Really underrated, this song is what metal is all about. - IronSabbathPriest
I would never consider this underrated, relatively that is. Deep Purple as a whole are very underrated, however among those who know more songs of theirs than just Smoke on the Water this is something that gets mentioned frequently. - dubsinthetubs
A very underrated early metal song.
This song was pretty complex and odd in the 70s rock context, dominated by blues-based rock songs. Besides, the song isn't melody-driven or very catchy - it rather showcases musicianship/technicality. That's the reason it never became very popular but metal musicians appreciate it - for its riff, vocals and drumming.
Jorn Lande did an amazing cover. - Metal_Treasure
Gillan's signature screams never disappoint. - Metal_Treasure
Zxm, thanks for adding it. It's very beautiful and moving. And very very underrated. - Metal_Treasure
Epic metal song. - Metal_Treasure
Power metal. - Metal_Treasure
There is no filler on In Rock. This and Hard loving Man would star on most albums.
This song should be in the top 10 and quite possibly at number 1...it is a travesty that DP has never played this song live...It would be awesome to see them add it on their farewell tour.
Absolutly the most "Hard driving, High powered" piece of energy to ever be put in a song! A musicians masterpiece
It was a bonus track to that great album, where even the bonus tracks were awesome. - Metal_Treasure
I like this song of 1998 - I would say it's more unnoticed than underrated. Basically all Deep Purple songs that were released after their peak in the 70s aren't well known. These songs are underrated because people don't know them and not because they don't like them. - Metal_Treasure
Underrated track from the criminally underrated self-titled album
Very underrated - zxm
I love this song, esp. Gillan vocals and how he growls a little bit. - Metal_Treasure
This song isn't underrated. - zxm
It's not underrated and wasn't added by me. It's the most popular DP song. - Metal_Treasure
A song with very good riff. Why only stick with Smoke On the Water. Come on Deep Purple has other good songs too. - zxm
A power metal song - Metal_Treasure
The first metal song with double bass drum (1971). Ian Paice was really very creative - he just put a second bass drum and played them both. Yeah, it was a very primitive double bass drum kit - nothing like the metal drum kits currently used. But his idea was priceless.
There's a video on YouTube and you can see how it was in the beginning (live) - Deep Purple just bring a second drum and "install it" onstage:
Deep Purple - Fireball (Live in Copenhagen 1972) HD
Lars Ulrich of Metallica attended this show when he was 9 and it blew his mind. - Metal_Treasure
Another underrated song. Wasn't even on the list. - zxm
Very underrated song. Was on 108th. - zxm
Good Golly, said the little Miss Molly!

From the Introduction to 6d6 Ultra-Lite
There is no right or wrong way to combine cards
In the 6d6 RPG, everything is done by combining different cards together to describe an action. For example, if character wants to hit a monster, they can combine their Brawn card and a Long Sword card. Or to convince a security guard to let them into a building, the Persuade and Quick Wits cards are played.
If a player wants to play an unusual combination of cards, they must explain why they think it makes sense. If the group agrees that it makes sense in this particular situation, the player can uses those cards.
User Summary of Basic Rules:
Players have small decks of cards, each of which describes a character ability. Character creation involves choosing a number of cards appropriate to their character, up to the limit imposed by the GM (for example, twelve cards).
When performing an action, the player chooses four cards relevant to that action and rolls 1d6 per card (modified by any additional rules as required). An action is successful is this roll exceeds the resistance (difficulty) of the action.

White Eagle : A New Beginning,álbum, crítica, lista de pistas, mp3, letras. Data de lançamento 2002. Estilo de MúsicaHard Rock. Membros têm este álbum0.
A New Beginning is the first studio album by the Dutch rock/melodic metal band La-Ventura. Re-released in 2008 by Renaissance Records. In 2009, the debut has also been released in Germany, Switzerland and Austria in June 2009, through the efforts of Gordeon Music, Dr-Music Distribution and Intergroove. A video was made for "Trefoil". Michael "Mike" Saffrie - bass. Sascha "Saz" Kondic - guitars. Carla van Huizen-Douw - vocals. Erwin Polderman (ex-Orphanage) - drums. Marco van Boven - keys.
White eagle" is a disappointingly dull album by the Tangs. It has all theusual ingredients, but it does seem to be Tangerine Dream by the numbers. It has the sound of a band going through the motions, and churning out another album using the same formula. From what I read here, the title track, White Eagle was used as a theme song for a German TV series. That's probably why they named the album after this track. But probably because it was made for a TV show, the song goes nowhere, and is about as boring a track I've heard from TD.
This story of mine is like no other, and I am not one for summarizing or cutting down great work just so people will know what it is. But if you must know something about my book then here I will give you a hint. Chapter 1: How it started. Chapter 2: The New White Eagle.

Now here's a reinvention. Young London band Childhood's first album, Lacuna, released three years back, was a somewhat indistinct record, sounding like a melange of the Stone Roses, Shoegaze, and countless other British guitar bands from the past thirty years. Their second album, Universal High, is certainly not that. Instead it's nothing less than a seventies soul record, with Curtis Mayfield the most obvious inspiration, Shuggie Otis, Marvin Gaye and Gil Scott Heron are there in the mix too .
A lot of it works. They don't fall into the obvious traps and drift into Jamiroquai territory. They're helped by a wonderful production by Ben H. Allen III and the fact that the record was made in his studio in Atlanta, Georgia, probably helped too. It's all slinky, funky grooves and honeyed vocals. Although there's occasionally a hipster-ish element to proceedings, (which sometimes turns me off slightly), it's obviously heartfelt and the album certainly sounds timely on a Sunday morning as summer winds down towards its end.

Denmark’s most popular digital original is House of Cards, the first time the dark political drama has topped one of our territory-specific charts, while Game of Thrones’ return propelled it to the top of the overall list.
Surprisingly, The Walking Dead does not figure in the overall top ten at all after a dramatic and much-debated ending of its sixth season.
Vikings, which has long been a popular drama in Europe, is the second-most in-demand title in Denmark, which is perhaps unsurprising given the show’s focus and the country’s history.
This week’s chart also suggests Danish viewers have a propensity for established US broadcast shows, with Grey’s Anatomy third, Pretty Little Liars fifth, The Big Bang Theory sixth, The Vampire Diaries eighth, Supernatural ninth and The 100 tenth.
The well-known local appreciation of quaint British mystery dramas is evident with All3Media International-sold Midsomer Murders making an appearance in seventh place.
The difference between the top three shows is just 30,130 average daily demand expressions, with each programme’s themes and plots highlighting how varied local tastes are in Denmark.
On the digital front, the popularity of Netflix originals is evident in Denmark, just as it has been in France and the UK.
Along with House of Cards at the top, Marvel’s Daredevil and Marvel’s Jessica Jones make up three of the top four. The recently launched Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is fifth, with Orange is the New Black, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Fuller House and Narcos all in-demand.
Though Hulu original 11/22/63 plays on linear TV via Fox, it is well ahead of Daredevil in terms of demand, though still trails House of Cards by more than 35,000 average daily demand expressions.
Community appears to remain Yahoo’s biggest original success story, taking seventh place in the charts.
Source and methodology: Parrot Analytics assesses demand for popular shows through various ‘demand expression platforms’ including social-media and photo-sharing platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, blogging and microblogging platforms such as Tumblr, wikis and informational sites, peer-to-peer protocols and file-sharing platforms. Parrot’s artificial-intelligence systems assess billions of data points to reach the overall demand rating

The aching notes rumbling with hurt, the nasal cries demanding attention and autonomy — Aretha Franklin’s music is ubiquitous, with instantly recognizable hits like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “Chain of Fools,” as is her lasting legacy advocating for racial justice. But perhaps lesser known today is how the singer with one of the greatest voices in the world struggled for years to truly hone it. That’s the story told in the biopic Respect, out Friday (August 20), which centers on the formative first three decades of Franklin’s life and career. “Her childhood through her twenties, to basically when she turned 30, felt like a powerful period,” director Liesl Tommy tells MTV News over Zoom. “I thought a lot about what the phrase ‘Queen of Soul’ means. What does ‘soul’ mean in this context? How do you become the queen of soul?”
To answer that question, Tommy, a South Africa-born filmmaker making her feature debut, looked to the church. That’s where Franklin, the daughter of a Baptist minister, first began singing publicly. It’s also where she would return in 1972 to record Amazing Grace, a live gospel album with choral backing that earned her a Grammy and became the bestselling disc of Franklin’s decades-long career. This provides the bookends for Respect, between which are the circumstances that imbued her sound with its decadent, learned layers: her pregnancy at 12 years old, the domestic abuse she survived and overcame, but also her involvement in the civil rights movement and, later, her triumphant Madison Square Garden arrival. “She had this intensity of storytelling that she sang with,” Tommy describes. “It really captured my imagination.”
If you’re Jennifer Hudson, who stars, you might find the answer on stage. The role was made for the actress in the truest sense: Franklin personally selected her for the part after seeing her Academy Award-winning performance in 2006’s Dreamgirls. But Hudson, who sang “Amazing Grace” at Franklin’s funeral in 2018, brings her own soulful virtuosity to the performance, and much of the singing that can be heard in the film was delivered live on set. “You understand why Aretha Franklin chose her, because she has a vocal gift that is God-given, the way that Aretha's was,” Tommy says. “It was kind of astounding to watch it happen, and it put a spell on everybody all the time.” Ahead of the premiere of Respect, director Tommy unpacks what can be gleaned from revisiting Franklin’s story in its full context.
MTV News: Growing up in South Africa and later moving to the United States, what was your relationship with Aretha Franklin as an icon, as a musician?
Liesl Tommy: I come from a culture and a family that listened to music all the time. I don't really know of a time when I didn't know about Aretha Franklin's music. As soon as I was conscious, I heard it playing. And I became obsessed with her at a very, very young age. I loved her and Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, and strangely, even in South Africa, Patsy Cline. I used to love to dress up and choreograph numbers for my cousins when I was a little girl, and she was just somebody who always felt like it needed to be a solo. She required one person singing their face off. And as I was thinking about what this film should be, I wanted to tell a story about how you become a woman who sings with such emotional intensity.
MTV News: Why did you decide to take this project on? And why now?
Tommy: I came originally from the theater, and I feel very connected to stories with music. Also, it's Aretha Franklin, and I just felt like I would die to portray her legacy on screen. And then also, part of what I'm interested in doing as a filmmaker is creating space for women and women of color, and basically, marginalized people who do not see themselves in major motion pictures. So normally, a movie like this would be written and directed by, probably two white guys. Most major biopics, it's the territory of, frankly, the white male, and I just feel like it's time for a different perspective and a different gaze.
MTV News: How do you feel your gaze, as a woman of color, changed how this story was told?
Tommy: I have a strong point of view about how to shoot and how to convey violence. I have a strong point of view about how to shoot and convey women's emotional trauma. I think there is a way to tell those stories and also protect women, and not re-traumatize my audience. I feel like, when I watch films written and directed by men, violence is a fun tool for them. But for a lot of us, violence isn't a fun tool. And so I am interested in how we can be gritty, how it can be real, but how we can also love our audiences and care for them.
Quantrell D. Colbert
MTV News: Is there any particular approach in the filmography and how you shoot the violence?
Tommy: The cinematographer and I talked about it at length. In terms of the scenes with her husband, I never wanted to show her actually getting punched or hit or anything like that. That was really important to me. And so we spent time structuring scenes to understand the threat of violence without having to actually see a hand land on her face.
MTV News: How much of what's in the movie is new sound design, how much is taken from Aretha's own recordings, and how much of it is Jennifer Hudson?
Tommy: I wanted every single person who had to sing in this film to be able to sing live on screen, on set. The majority of the music that you hear in the film is music that was recorded live on set. Everybody sang, and Jennifer sang every single song, every single day on set.
And then there were other people on set who had to sing, the women who played the backup singers, the woman who played her mother, Audra McDonald, Heather Headley. These are all Tony-winning, Tony-nominated actresses and singers. Tituss Burgess, everybody who had to sing is at the top of their game vocally. And I just think it brought power and an intensity to the musical performances the way that maybe lip-syncing or something that was done in a studio wouldn't. Coming from a musical theater background, I know the power of live performances of songs.
MTV News: I loved all the scenes when she's riffing in the Alabama studios. it's so different from her stuffy Columbia Records experience with a full orchestra.
Tommy: I know, right? It's so crazy — people in suits and ties in the studio, making music. And then you go down to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where you can smell everybody. It’s a whole other vibe.
MTV News: There’s this lovely scene in the film where Aretha is developing her take on “Respect” with her sisters. They’re all sitting at the piano in her apartment in Harlem, and then it suddenly cuts to Madison Square Garden where she's performing in full glamour, looking amazing, singing “sock it to me, sock it to me.” Why did you choose to frame the film around that song?
Tommy: Well, that song, obviously, is one of her biggest hits. But also, I think it's a beautiful representation of her journey. This movie is about a woman with the greatest voice in the world who is struggling to find her voice. Part of that is to be a woman, and for her, a woman of that particular time period. She had to go on a journey as a woman of the '50s and '60s to find her personal power, and to have respect for herself, and then to ultimately demand respect. There's a reason why she loved that song, and why she wanted to sing that song. It was true to her story.
Quantrell D. Colbert
MTV News: Probably a lot of folks don't know that “Respect” was originally an Otis Redding song. While doing research for this project, was there anything you discovered about Aretha that surprised you?
Tommy: The fact that she had children at a young age isn’t something I knew in advance of working on the film. I thought that was pretty powerful, a young girl who was just trying to figure out who she was as a person. But also the depth of her civil rights work, which started as a little girl going on tour with her father, and then later going on tour with Martin Luther King Jr. That was so powerful and clearly formative because she stayed political her whole life.
MTV News: Some of the scenes are shot as if they were archival footage. At Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral, for example, it looks like it's being shot through a newscast. What was the thinking behind that technique?
Tommy: Artistically, I was fascinated by what it was like to live under that particular microscope. Even when she is breaking apart with grief at the funeral, there were cameras on her the entire time. I wanted to show that part of being a superstar is that your life is being recorded. You're exposed.
MTV News: Do you have a favorite scene?
Tommy: I think the scene that I love the most in the movie is the recording of “Ain't No Way,” because her sister Carolyn wrote it for her. And not a lot of people know this, but it is a secret gay anthem. Carolyn was a lesbian. There are so many levels of storytelling happening in that scene, because there's the relationship between her and her sisters, where she's basically making her sister's dream come true by recording her song. That's also one of my favorite songs, and I like that there's a little secret in there for people who will get it.
MTV News: What about Aretha’s story felt previously untold before this film?
Tommy: What I thought was amazing was that she had four or five albums into her early pop career that were not popular. She had a journey like millions of other musicians, where she was working her face off making albums, sometimes two in a year. I think it's inspiring for all of us to know that everybody has to go on a journey, everybody has to experience failure.

The famous first-person shooter game Battlefield 5, created by DICE and released by Electronic Arts, is set in numerous World War II locales. The game has a sizable user following across several gaming platforms thanks to its captivating gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and furious multiplayer fights. Cross-platform compatibility is an essential factor that gamers frequently take into account. We shall investigate is battlefield 5 cross platform capabilities in this post.
Battlefield 5 and Cross-Platform Play
Is battlefield 5 cross platform play describes the capacity of users of various gaming platforms to engage in cooperative gameplay? Regardless of their preferred platform, it enables players using different consoles or devices to connect to the same servers and participate in online games.
Due to its promotion of inclusion, expansion of player communities, and improvement of the overall gaming experience, cross-platform play has experienced a significant increase in popularity in recent years.
The State of Cross-Platform Play in Battlefield 5
It is battlefield 5 cross platform. As far as I am aware, Battlefield 5 only offers cross-platform play across some platforms as of the cutoff date of September 2021.
This implies that gamers from various gaming platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, cannot connect to the same servers and engage in cooperative multiplayer games. The need for full cross-platform play constrained the capacity of gamers to share gameplay experiences between platforms.
However, is battlefield 5 cross platform, it is essential to remember that Battlefield 5 did feature limited cross-platform capabilities. The cross-platform play allowed Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players to connect to the same servers and engage in cooperative multiplayer combat.
This capability enabled a broader community and maybe shortened matchmaking times by considerably expanding the player pool accessible to these console users.
Battlefield 5 crossplay also enabled cross-platform gaming on PC and consoles, namely Xbox One and PlayStation 4. As a result, gamers on PC and consoles could play together on the same servers, significantly expanding the player base and promoting a lively multiplayer experience.
Xbox One and PlayStation 4:
Is Battlefield 5 crossplay Battlefield 5 launched with cross-platform compatibility between Xbox One and PlayStation 4, allowing users of both systems to participate in multiplayer games. This vital element increased the number of players, which raised the possibility of more varied and exciting gameplay experiences.
A feeling of community was established, and there was a wider variety of opponents and teammates to connect with, thanks to the opportunity to compete and collaborate with players from other consoles.
PC and Xbox One/PlayStation 4:
Additionally, is battlefield v cross platform Battlefield 5 enabled cross-platform gaming between PC and consoles, namely Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It enabled PC gamers to communicate with their console counterparts and engage in cooperative multiplayer combat.
Expanding the pool of participants by including PC players increased the game’s overall competitiveness and diversity. By bridging the gap between gaming platforms, this cross-platform capability encouraged inclusion and made it possible for friends with various gaming settings to play the game together.
Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5:
Despite its earlier release date, battlefield 5 is backward compatible with the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 systems. As a result, multiplayer matches on the newer systems were limited to those of the same generation.
However, there had not yet been a formal announcement or implementation of cross-platform play between the previous console generation (the Xbox One and PlayStation 4) and the current generation (the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5), as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.
PC and Xbox Series X/S/PlayStation 5:
When my knowledge cut off, there was no official confirmation or support for cross-platform play between the PC and the Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5 in battlefield v crossplay.
However, there may be a chance for cross-platform play between these platforms due to technological developments and modifications in gaming infrastructure.
As of September 2021, no firm information was available. Due to the lack of a direct multiplayer integration in Battlefield 5, PC and newer console generation players could only play within their ecosystems.
Cross-Platform Progression and Other Considerations
While cross-platform gaming is essential for many gamers, cross-platform progression is equally important to take into account. Transferring game progress, accomplishments, and unlocks between several platforms is called cross-platform progression.
Unfortunately, Battlefield 5 does not allow cross-platform advancement as of the cutoff date. If you change venues, you have to re-enter your advance.
The possible influence on the gameplay experience is another consideration. Controls, performance, and player skill levels may change while playing across several platforms. These aspects should be considered when considering whether to engage in cross-platform play because they affect the game experience overall.
Although Battlefield 5 features some cross-platform capabilities, it is essential to remember that this capability is only available on specific combinations of systems. Battlefield 5 featured cross-platform play between Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and between PC and Xbox One/PlayStation 4, as of my knowledge’s cutoff date in September 2021. There had been no official announcement or implementation of cross-platform play between the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5’s new console generation.
As usual, to stay informed about any adjustments or enhancements to Battlefield 5’s cross-platform play features, keep up with the most recent news and official announcements from the game’s publishers and developers. You may make wise choices regarding your Battlefield 5 gaming experience by considering cross-platform progression and possible gameplay experience variations.

Review Summary: A few great moments but an overall letdown from their two previous albums.
After two great, near-classic albums in "The Infamous" and "Hell on Earth" expectations were high for the Queensbridge duo for their fourth album, but how realistic was that? After all, how many hip hop artists have made three consecutive excellent albums? Probably none, so taking that into consideration this is a pretty good effort and although it's a step down from the two previous albums by no means is it terrible the expectations were just too high.
It starts out with "Streets Raised Me" with a female vocalist doing the hook, taking a bit of a softer approach, Big Noyd has a guest spot here and throughout the album Havoc shows an improved rapping ability, no longer being just the production half of the group. The most unusual song here is "Spread Love" with a chorus of "You should spread love not war just think about your kids how they need you alive for their guidance." If you're familiar with their previous work you'll realize how strange this is for a group that has been the hardest of the hard, talking about guns, drugs and murder this song seems very out of place especially since on the rest of the album they stick to their guns(literally and figuratively) throughout.
Production is predictably handled by Havoc almost entirely but The Alchemist provides a quality, thumping beat for "Thug Muzik" which is great because this track features virtually unknown(for good reason) Infamous Mobb and all three members have a verse here, a sample of their uninspired appearance:
Or at the time when my brother got splashed
It hurt my ass, to see him pass
But now I gotta keep on moving to get this cash
You better kill his ass, if you wanna pass
Thankfully Prodigy saves the track with the closing verse. There are much more welcome guest spots by Cormega on "What's Ya Poison" and old school legend Kool G. Rap on "The Realest." Unfortunately a guest spot from another great doesn't work, Nas appears on "It's Mine," containing an interpolation of Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" with God's Son singing the chorus "Y'all need to give it up, we don't give a f*ck, what y'all niggaz want, thug, life, is, mine" a shockingly bad moment considering the talent of the artists involved.
When the book is closed on Mobb Deep, they'll be remembered for making two great albums and the song that has become synonimous with the group is "Shook Ones Pt. II" but right next to that classic will be "Quiet Storm," while the remix with Lil' Kim garnered the most attention, the original version is probably better, with Prodigy doing all three verses while Havoc handles the hook. Over a buzzing synth bassline and simple keynotes, Prodigy spits some of the best lyrics of his career:
Fully blown melanin tone, I rock skeleton bone shirts
And verses, but thirst for worse beats
So I can put, more product out on the street
Get respect and love, all across the board
We've been adored, for keepin it raw, nuttin less or more
I score everytime for sure
while the rest of y'all niggaz just nil
Although it's a letdown coming off "Hell on Earth" there are some impressive moments here, Havoc's production hasn't really skipped a beat, he shows improvement as a rapper and even though he's still not at Prodigy's level he can hold his own. Many will point to this album as the time when Mobb Deep started to lose it but they don't embarrass themselves here, they would save that for their next album...

What is the best way to stay at home and have some fun? Sometimes, you do not feel like going out. You like snuggling at home with your bae, or you love hanging with friends. Well, turns out, you can have tons of fun at home. Sports and games are a great way to reduce stress. What is the list of indoor games? What do you need to play indoor sport games? We have the answers.
For starters, why play indoor games for youth and adults? Well, games are the best stress buster. They lift your mood and help you grow physically and mentally. With indoor games, you can play in a closed environment. Now, the next time you ask about 100 things to do on a rainy day, think of indoor games.
Playing simple games like jigsaw puzzles will definitely help you stay mentally sharp and engaged. In order to put together a puzzle, you will need to pay attention to details and remember patterns which makes this activity a great brain booster. Jigsaw puzzles can be enjoyed with friends and family by organizing a puzzle night. In addition, jigsaw puzzles are a relatively low-cost and low-stress way to pass the time, making them a great choice for those looking for a relaxing and enjoyable hobby. Buffalo Games puzzles for adults in 1000 piece count are the right challenge you can take to test your mind and endurance while gaining some good mental exercise. Whether you’re a puzzle enthusiast or a beginner, this activity offers a range of benefits for those looking to get the most out of their time at home.
Pencil and paper games
There are just too many pencil and paper games to list them. You can try some classic like tic-tac-toe, or battleship. Sprouts are also a good option. Pencil and paper games are a must for a list of indoor games. They beat TV any day. You play, have fun, and stimulate your brain. Here are some quick ideas.
Tic-tac-toe is a classic pencil and paper game for two players. X and O take turns marking the spaces in a 3×3 grid. You win when you place three o your marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row.
If you want a larger grid, make a 6×6 square of dots on a page. Take turns to join them with a line, but you can only join two dots at a time. The goal is to complete a box with your line and put your initials inside. The person with the most boxes wins.
So, if you want some indoor party games for kids, try building. You can use everything you want. Put your creative mind to work. You can create popsicle stick cities, card towers, or even buildings. Boxes and pillows can help you make indoor forts. And if you want to get competitive, play to win with the highest tower. You don’t need to develop complicated construction estimates for it either, but small little projects could lead to some fun moments.
Great Minds Think Alike
Let’s talk about creative and fun indoor activities for adults that stimulate the brain. This is a group activity, so you will need a couple of people. Great idea for a home party. You can make up your questions or get a free printable.
The goal is to think about one object, topic, or anything else. You need to choose what you think everyone else will choose. The more people get the same answer, the more points.
We love games where you have to put your mind to test. You can play murder mystery games any day in the year. Yes, they are most popular during the Halloween holidays. But you can play them at any time of the year.
With a single murder mystery game, you can have a whole evening of fun. Google some free mysteries, or make your own. Remember, your murder mystery has to contain charter descriptions, clues, scripts, and characters.
The ultimate board game for a home fun. Jenga is as popular as they come. And it is simple. You build a tower of chips, and you try to remove one while keeping the tower intact. Sounds simple enough? At the same time, Jenga provides lots of fun and enjoyment. And it is quite competitive.
You can modify this game for indoor games for kids or fun things to do indoors for adults. It all depends on the tune you choose. Go for a tune you want and turn up the volume. Ask participants to dance until the music stops. When the music stops, everyone has to freeze in the position they are. You can make the game more challenging by asking specific poses like shapes, letters, or animals.
Or, if you are into fitness, make 10 jumping jacks during the start of the next round.
You will giggle around for sure. Sit on the floor in a circle. Turn on some music, and pass the “hot potato”. This can be anything from a bean bag or a soft ball. Pass it around the circle as fast as you can. When the music stops, the one with the potato leaves the circle. Continue until there is only one player left.
How many card games do you know? How many do you play regularly? The list of indoor games with cards is long and great. These games challenge your minds and create hours of fun.
Who Am I?
For social gatherings, Who Am I is a great and fun game. There are different variations of the game. The premise is always the same. Write the name of a famous person on a piece of paper. Draw the paper, and try to explain it to others. You can draw the person on board, and ask them to guess. Or, you can try to guess who you are.
Draw a piece of paper, stick it on your forehead, and ask questions to guess the person. Everyone else will give you a yes or no answer.
Never Have I Ever
Any list of indoor games has to include Never Have I Ever. It is one of the best games to get to know each other. Serves as a great ice-breaker in team building events. There are a million questions. You can use it as a drinking game.
The premise is simple, you say one thing you have never done, and see whether someone has done it.
Printable Escape Rooms
Printable escape rooms are bringing the excitement of the actual escape room right into your home. They can be played as tabletop games or can be set up all around the house. These brainy teasers are a bit different than regular board games, because kids learn how to cooperate and work together rather than compete against each other. If you are looking for the quality family time you should try one of these games and bond in a special way with your kids.
There is only one downside to balloon games. You will make a mess around the house. Other than that, balloon games are great fun group activities for adults. Here are three ideas.
For balloon hockey, set up two goals on opposite sides of rooms and try to get the balloon into the goal by hitting it with a hockey stick.
For balloon ping pong, you need to make a racket first. Blow up the balloon and put a tape line on the ground to serve as a net. You can hit the balloon only one time.
Last, but not least, balloon catch. For this game, blow up one balloon per player. Then, each player tosses the balloon in the air and must catch it in the mouth of their funnel. Toss it and catch it again without using the hands. You get one point for each catch.
Some indoor games for teenagers are fun, and others are mentally stimulating. Treasure hunt falls into both categories. When there is a prize at the end, we all want to play. Write clues on slips of paper. Get creative, and let your guests find the treasure. You need to make a trail to the final clue.
Truth or Dare
This is a simple game and we all love to play it. That is unless there are sensitive people that do not want to share some details. The most important thing here is to set up some ground rules. For example, no intimate questions if guests are not ready for it.
Dares can go as far as you are ready.
Two Truths and a Lie
A lot of the games on the list of indoor games are great for team building events. This one falls into that category as well. The premise is simple. Each person tells three things about himself. Two of them are true, and one is a lie. Guess which is which. You can even turn it into a drinking game. If you guess wrong, you drink.
Now here is a unique party game. Have you ever watched a press conference? Well, you play that at home. Choose one person to hold the press conference. He must answer questions from all the other guests.
We finish off the list with one of the best fun group activities for adults and kids. Simon Says is a traditional fan-favorite game. It never gets old. One player is Simon. The others gather in a circle or a line. He calls out tasks, and you have to do it.

The Longest Five Minutes begins where most games end: the final boss. Plonked in front of an unholy baddie, the hero of this quaintly old-fashioned JRPG has only five minutes with which to pummel them off the face of the earth. It sounds like a pretty short game, but thanks to the awesome power of extended, time-dilating flashbacks, those five minutes are soon blown wide open. Essentially this is a standard-ish JRPG told out of order, and that's a novel enough hook for me to look at the Steam page and not dismiss this retro-styled adventure out of hand. It helps that it's the work of Disgaea developers Nippon Ichi.
One of my major issues with RPGs is the amount of padding shamelessly crammed in, and I feel like The Longest Five Minutes' chronologically tricksy premise is the perfect opportunity to chuck a lot of that away. Starting at the final boss, conversations between the amnesiac hero and his companions (and the big monster you're all duffing up) give way to self-contained flashback segments, retelling key moments from the hero's journey, but without feeling the need to cover every insignificant hamlet he visited along the way.
However, aside from the clever framing, it doesn't sound too revolutionary. A JRPG boasting top-down exploration, peppered with random, turn-based battles and a trio of minigames. So if you're expecting something highly inventive like Half-Minute Hero, or something eminently replayable like the underrated JRPG roguelike One Way Heroics, you may be in for disappointment.
Either way, The Longest Five Minutes is now available on Steam, for the slightly surprising price of $39.99/£39.99 (love that exchange rate), albeit with a 10% launch discount bringing it down to $35.99/£35.99 for the next few days.

Today we are going to discuss Manoj Bajpayee starrer, Suraj pe Mangal Bhari film, and its teaser, which was released recently. Directed by Abhishek Sharma, this movie is a wholesome lot of comedy, adventure, and thriller. As Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari will be released this November, we can safely say we have our Diwali plans. The film creators have released their trailer starring our beloved Diljit Dosanjh and Dangal girl, Fatima Sana Shaikh. Although the movie is going to be released in theatres as creators are planning; however, the teaser has made the audience excited. Creating the aura of the 90s, the film is a must-watch in these modern times. Let us look at the details that we have procured from the trailer.
Direction and Plotline:-
By casting Manoj Bajpayee and Fatima Sheikh, Abhishek Sharma has added a tint of realistic characterization. The trailer features our very own Soulful Punjabi boy, Diljit Dosanjh (Suraj), who is portraying a desperate bachelor’s character. However, before the invasion of technology, this ritual was practiced in every Indian household. The bride’s family tries to investigate about the groom’s family before their forever union. Manoj Bajpayee (Mangal) plays the role of a certified detective and investigates the groom at the bride’s family’s request. As the film’s title suggests, Suraj will make Mangal pay for his doings as Mangal spilled Suraj’s secret, and the union of his potential wife was broken. Therefore, Suraj pe Mangal Bhari is the domination of Manoj over Suraj.
In the teaser, there are certain comedic interactions between the two. However, the introduction of comedy doesn’t seem unexpected as we have Diljit Dosanjh in the house. Even if we look at his previous films such as Good Newz (2019) and Arjun Patiala (2019), we can infer how excellent his comic timing is.
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari Teaser:-
From the first look of the teaser, jazz 90s music plays in the background, and we can see Suraj Singh Dhillon introducing himself in the 1995 Bombay. As when the naive bachelor Suraj begins a hunt for his appropriate wife, several hurdles spring up. “Oo Papaji, I talk ghanta in English,”replies Suraj when his father asks him to greet the girl in English. Gradually, when he and his family take numerous visits, the bride’s family shows them pictures of him consuming alcohol. Revengeful Suraj pledges to take revenge from Mangal as he was the one who clicked his pictures. Mangal, played by Manoj sir, is a detective who investigates the groom’s family on the demands of the bride’s family. As a result, Suraj woes Mangal’s sister (Fatima Shaikh) to take revenge. He wanted to site an example of what happens if unexpected things pertain to your surroundings.
Cast and Release Date:-
While talking about the cast, we have Manoj Bajpayee, Fatima Shaikh, and Diljit Dosanjh as the movie’s main cast. Supriya Pilgaonkar, Annu Kapoor, Karishma Tanna, Seema Bhargava, Manoj Pahwa, and Rohan Shankar are cast as the supporting roles. Produced under Zee Studios and Essel Vision Productions, the film is releasing on 13th November 2020. To conclude, it is a family drama which will give you a great time and make you relive the old days of marriage proposals.

Rajasekhar's humor perspective will undoubtedly wow the audience. The cast performs an excellent job in their parts. Character artists like rao ramesh and others have done so many parts like this that they glide through their characters smoothly, but nithin and Rajasekhar are a whole other story; one must witness their comedic timing on film. His cinematography is astounding, as is his music picturization. nithin and Rao Ramesh's comic segments are incredibly amusing. Nothing profound, but you'll laugh heartily.
The first half is a lot of fun. The over-the-top humor technique, although effective in certain cases, frustrates others. This time, hero Nithiin ventures outside of his comfort zone, attempting a full-fledged comedic genre. Vakkantham Vamsi, the director, adopts a new approach to this picture. Some comedy sequences are funny, but others aren't. The interval twist is acceptable. But the movie takes a detour and falls in the second half.
Extraordinary Man suffers from dumb characters and tiring comedy in the second half, aside from the comedy in the first half. No success as a director for vakkantham vamsi again!
Overall, A Very Ordinary Film!

If you see people in a location or event wearing costumes and seemingly acting as a particular character, while “playfighting” they might be participating in either a cosplaying event or live-action role-playing game. However, in larping, there is a setting and plot to follow. Many folks may consider LARP as a grown-up version for kids playing make-believe. Every LARPing game has its rules and history. The game within the location of a LARPing event is often a battle game but also focuses on an unfolding story.
LARPing can be considered as a crossover between a game and theater role-playing. The character is usually involved in something sort of a game where people will fight out the fights or talk. The gist of the whole game is that somebody creates an imaginary setting with its own set of rules and themes. The person creates a personality that will fit into the character for the environment the sport is in. It’s total immersion and involves many folks to easily accept an alternate reality while within the game.
In layman’s terms, a LARP is an extended interaction between three things; a world, its rules, and thus the people in it. The tactic of designing a game setting will take some time that will help in addressing everything within the setting. The outline of the game’s world also includes what its people, technology, and cultures are like.
If the larping game involves astronomy and magic, then the peoples’ characters must even have a grasp of those two things. If a live-action role-playing game world has lower classes, having no electricity within the setting might mean that the lower classes aren’t able to read or write since they can not study within the dark. During the day, the lower classes may need to figure so that they can’t study within their only free time. However, there is no electricity which suggests they can not study within the dark.
The other complexity of most LARPing games is that the weapon
- If the players have handbooks or workbooks at the start, players will have access to the weapons using the tiny print and mechanics of the event.
The next part of the equation is that the game’s rules. Game designers can create a completely new rule system to affect combat, magic, death, and characters’ skills. They’re going to also use an existing rule system. The last word component of a LARP is that the people. the game can separate the people involved in a LARP into three categories.
Why Do People Join Larping Games?
There are many reasons why people join larping. Some people wish to play it as a sort of sport, or a game, to win. Most of the people that are drawn to LARP are very imaginative people, who already create stories and things in their minds, or perhaps write stories may be drawn to the immersive feeling during a LARPing game. It also fulfills fantasies for a few individuals. The fantasy of living in a world with simple, black-and-white lines, or of just being a heroic figure is usually appealing for a couple of participants.
Many folks may join LARPing as a kind of escapism. They’re going to become somebody else for a quick time. Others are drawn to the game just because of the literature and theatrics associated with it.
Kinds of Participants Within A Live-Action Role-Playing Game
When it involves the events, there’s usually an individual called the game master (GM)
In larger games, a plot committee or several GMs work together to arrange the event and make sure that the game is moving forward.
These are non-player characters (NPCs). As an example, an NPC might be a bartender who tells players about rumors of bandit attacks on the outskirts of town. The bandits themselves are often NPCs.
The folks that play the game with a goal are called the player characters (PCs). Unlike an NPC, a PC is in a position to seek out out and develop new skills during a campaign or storyline. In other words, the NPCs are an area of the story, and the PCs experience and learn from that story.
The interaction within a world, including its people and rules, often takes place within the context of a campaign or game session. Within the event, there’s plenty of some time to interact with the world’s history. A game session can last anywhere from a couple of hours to many days. A campaign can continue for months. During that point, players will congregate at the situation, often a campground or a park, on a daily schedule.

Secret Invasion: Is Don Cheadle’s War Machine a Secret Skrull?
Central to the forthcoming Secret Invasion television series, and the comic book storyline that inspired it, is that Skrulls have infiltrated key positions around the world and are impersonating influential individuals. A major part of the original comic story was also that countless superheroes had also been replaced by Skrulls, something that the MCU probably can’t replicate to a major degree considering the cast for the series and their larger coherence. There’s at least one Avenger present that might very well not be who they at any point think they are, Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes aka War Machine. How about we dive into it beneath.
The first trailer for Secret Invasion was released at D23 and offered a tease of the shapeshifting Skrulls and the enormous ensemble cast in the series. Among the characters shown is Cheadle’s Rhodes, shown in a suit and having his own security detail surrounding him. Samuel L. Jackson’s Scratch Anger asks him assuming he really knows individuals safeguarding him, planting the seed that perhaps they are Skrulls, yet that all seems like smart misdirection, doesn’t it? Couldn’t it be a greater surprise for Cheadle to be the Skrull and for Rage to make a mistake in trusting him?
It’s also important that at D23, Cheadle remained in front of an audience after the Secret Invasion part of the panel concldued to talk somewhat more about his own solo Disney+ series, Armor Wars. As affirmed by Cheadle, Secret Invasion will lead directly into Armor Wars. According to an official announcement about the show, “Rhodey fans will see the character in an entirely different light,” in the series which will also present “all-new suits for the legend, featuring various types of armor.”
Presently how could Secret Invasion lead straightforwardly into Armor Wars, a series where Rhodey must face the consequences of Tony Stark’s tech falling into some unacceptable hands? It could be easy for Armor Wars to devise a reason for why this innovation has gotten into some unacceptable hands, however couldn’t it also make since for that to have happened because Rhodey was replaced by a Skrull and Skrull-Rhodey wasn’t exactly watching out for Stark tech he had barely any familiarity with?
It’s all just a hypothesis, however it sure does make a great deal of sense when you consider it. Rhodey is the easiest Avenger to make a Skrull in Secret Invasion since he’s not integral to the feature film plans, and one could easily pinpoint a second post Endgame that he was swapped with a Skrull.
What do you suppose? Will any major characters be revealed to be Skrulls in Secret Invasion? Sound off in the comments underneath and search for Secret Invasion to make a big appearance on Disney+ one year from now.

Kevin Smith nearly always adheres to the principle of "write what you know." That's why Dogma, his controversial 1999 comedy, is brimming with Catholicism, skepticism, profanity, poop jokes, movie references, and Ben Affleck. If you were to cut Kevin Smith's head open -- and I'm not suggesting you should do this -- Dogma is probably what would spill out.
Do you remember the ruckus this caused near the end of the last millennium? After a version of the script leaked on to the Internet, the Catholic League, led by William Donohue, vehemently denounced the film as blasphemous. Smith got death threats, which he cheerfully posted on his website. Protesters exerted so much pressure that Disney, which was going to distribute the film through Miramax, got skittish and sold it to Lions Gate, which had not yet adopted its policy of only distributing movies with Saw or Tyler Perry's in the title.
Protests continued once the film was actually released, on Nov. 12, 1999, with approximately the same effect that such protests usually have, i.e., drawing more attention to the movie. Dogma was Smith's fourth film, and it easily out-grossed the previous three combined. In terms of tickets sold, it's still his most successful movie (though this year's Cop Out made more money, as did Zack and Miri, barely).

Judging by early reports the Playstation 3 will be a single sweet equipment. It will have the revolutionary Blue-ray know-how and the ability to watch and burn DVDs. This is very important as most shoppers have DVD engineering in the intervening time and it will certainly be a smooth overlap.
The Playstation 3 might be just like a mini Laptop, having a large degree of processing energy. Some may well even say more https://en.search.wordpress.com/?src=organic&q=롤대리 processing 롤대리 power as opposed to now unveiled XBOX 360.
Once the Playstation 2 was launched seven yrs ago, the typical range of games marketed for each device bought was 5. Fastforward to your PSP; it launched and it has only offered about two games for every PSP offered. This is mainly due to the multimedia facet of the sport. People are acquiring it to observe videos just about They can be to Engage in the video games.
This doesn’t seem so poor, however it might cause complications for Sony. Loads of Sony’s cash flow from video clip video game consoles would be the licensing service fees they charge video clip game companies to build online games on any of Sony’s console platforms. Consequently, when less online games are increasingly being bought, a lot less dollars is being compensated for the legal rights to make video games due to the fact not as lots of game titles are now being purchased when compared with the past.
A further achievable problem Together with the Playstation three could be the complexity of the interface. For the reason that Playstation 3 is so strong, crtics are speculating which the console could confuse individuals and give the PS3 the track record of currently being complicated.
Judging with the screenshots of game titles including Battle Evening Round three which were made for your Playstation 3 the life like imaging on the online games are astounding.
Watever the situation could possibly be, we must hold out till the discharge of your Playstation 3 to speculate on its capabilities. One thing if needless to say, It will likely be a function packed console like absolutely nothing customers have observed ahead of.

Total Dhamaal movie cast: Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Ritesh Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, Boman Irani, Jaaved Jaaferi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Pitobash Tripathy
Total Dhamaal movie director: Indra Kumar
Total Dhamaal movie rating: One and a half stars
Total Dhamaal is nothing but a string of random sequences, shot in water and on land, desert and sky. Sanjay Mishra keeps saying ‘bro’: he doesn’t, in my hearing, say ‘yo’. Boman Irani vamps it up, in a sharp little moustache. Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jafferi twin, inhabit mostly flatness, making me wish for the hundredth time that these two sharp comic talents get a movie which gives them something, anything, to do, other than being chased by computer-generated vultures (yes, this happens).
Brainless comedies can be a lot of fun (brain, stop smirking), but they need to be written with smarts. Here, the CGI animals (the climactic chunk of the film is set in a zoo) have more effect than the humans. A rhino’s horn becomes a pointed spear for falling backsides. A chimp and an elephant are used to give us lessons on kindness.
Meanwhile, the tasteless jibes against women, a trademark of the Dhamaal franchise, pile up: ‘kaamwaali bais’ are fine, wink wink, wives are of no use, girls are ‘paisa udaane waali cheez’.
About the only people who prevent you from strangling yourself is the forever-bickering couple played by Anil Kapoor (motabhai, husband) and Madhuri Dixit (Marathi mulgi, wife). They have an easiness between them which comes of long years of working together, and watching Dixit, unburdened from the weight of looking glamorous, reminds you of the powerhouse she used to be. These two deserve a film of their own.

[wpspoiler name=”Los Van Van perform Temba, Tumba, Timba” open=”true” style=”aatw-video”][/wpspoiler]
TIMBA is upbeat dance music that developed in the 1990s as a synthesis of Cuban jazz, rock, rumba, disco and funk. It’s a”street level” form whose lyrics focus on urban issues among Cuban youth. TIMBA has a similar tempo and rhythm to salsa and uses many of the same instruments, but the instruments are used somewhat differently. For example, so says Wikipedia’s entry on timba, “Salsa bassists have standardized on bombo-ponche bass tumbao. This is sometimes used in TIMBA, but much more often a clave-aligned tumbao is used, and it is often specific to the song in question, while the bombo-ponche tumbaos of salsa, by definition, always use the same rhythm from song to song. Most importantly, TIMBA bassists stop and start their tumbaos, one of the defining aspects of timba gears. In salsa, the bass tumbao is omnipresent.” Couldn’t be clearer! Seriously, while salsa bands rarely have a drum kit with a kick drum, in timba a drum kit is essential, or at least a timbale player adds a kick drum, which s/he plays while standing. Also, TIMBA is known for “crossing the clave,” meaning that some of the instruments may be playing the 3-2 clave while others will simultaneously be playing the 2-3 (look above for an overview of clave). Scandalous. Listen to La Timba Loca for an example.

Studio Interference: two words that strike more dread in film fans than extensive re-shoots, another reboot and CGI Moustache. Being a director is a hard enough job as it is; they have to balance budgetary constraints, prevent continuity errors and make sure everyone on set knows what they're doing, amongst many other responsibilities. The last thing they need is someone else forcing them to mess it around, often at the last minute.
Granted, sometimes it is completely justified, and makes the film all the better for it. Take Alien and Get Out for example, which both saw their final moments changed, preventing their much bleaker original endings and allowing them to become the great achievements they are today.
Sadly though, these moments are few and far between. Yes, film is a collaborative medium, but way too many times we see instances where directors are inundated with ridiculous demands, sometimes not even originating from the studio itself! While trying their best to check all the boxes, some mandates are so terrible that even the best in the business aren't able to weave them into their films in satisfying ways. Inevitably sticking out like a sore thumb, us film fans can see right through this. These are the worst offenders.
10. Spoilers At The Start - Dark City
Dark City is the hidden gem of 1990s science-fiction films. While overshadowed in the pop culture sphere by its not-too-distant cousin The Matrix, the neo-noir thriller is an impressive effort in its own right. Featuring The Strangers, an ominous and mysterious organisation keen on hunting down amnesiac John Murdoch, the eerily uneasy tone alone is enough to get your teeth stuck into, which was aided by great performances, especially one against type from Kiefer Sutherland.
The film does an excellent job of making you feel something's not quite right, but unsure exactly what, as it slowly peels back the mystery behind The Strangers and the city around them.
Unless you're watching the theatrical cut, that is. You see, the studio didn't think that audiences were smart enough to understand the premise for the film, so decided to push for one tiny tweak.
And what small change was that? Only to add an opening narration by Kiefer that virtually spoils the main mystery of the film (essentially everything about The Strangers) before it even had a chance to break the one-minute mark. The fact that this was swiftly removed by Alex Proyas for the director's cut pretty much sums up his thoughts on it too.

A casino is a gambling establishment that offers a variety of games, including slot machines and table games. They can be found all over the world, including on American Indian reservations and riverboats in the United States and throughout Europe.
Many people enjoy visiting a casino on their vacations, and there are several reasons why. For one, casinos are a great way to pass the time without having to worry about work or school. In addition, casinos often have restaurants and other recreational facilities that can make the trip a more enjoyable experience.
Some of the most impressive casinos in the world have a lot to offer, and it’s worth taking the time to explore them before you decide to visit one. Here are a few of the most notable:
The elegant spa town of Baden-Baden was once a playground for nineteenth century aristocrats, but today its visitors are a much more diverse mix of businesspeople, royalty and wealthy vacationers. The resort’s casino reflects the style of the city, combining lavish elegance with a wide range of games and gambling opportunities.
Monte Carlo, Monaco
If you’re looking for a luxurious experience in a stunning setting, there’s no better place to visit than the world-famous Monte Carlo casino. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced player, there’s something for everyone.
There are a few different kinds of games that you can find in casinos, and each has a specific advantage for the house. In France, for example, roulette is a popular game that attracts large bettors, who pay more to the house than smaller gamblers.
Other popular casino games include baccarat, poker, and blackjack. In the United States, you can also play bingo and craps at some casinos.
Poker is a very popular casino game, and most of the largest casinos in the world offer it. In the United States, almost all of the 1,000 commercial casinos and hundreds of tribal casinos host daily and weekly poker events and games.
These games are played against each other, and the casino takes a percentage of each bet as a commission. Depending on the game, this may vary from a few percent to as high as 50 percent of the total bet.
Some casinos have a special room called a “VIP club,” which caters to high rollers and offers them exclusive services. These rooms are usually secluded from the rest of the casino, and allow guests to have quiet gaming sessions that are private from other players.
Moreover, most modern casinos have security personnel who patrol the casino and respond to calls for assistance or reports of suspicious or definite criminal activity. These security forces are typically divided into a physical force and a specialized surveillance department, which operates the casino’s closed circuit television system.
Many of the biggest casino resorts have all of these amenities, along with prime dining and beverage facilities and performance venues where pop, rock, jazz, and many other artists come to perform for the benefit of their patrons. In addition, many of the most successful casino resorts are able to offer exclusive performances by famous music stars and circus troops. These experiences are sure to make your next trip to a casino a truly memorable one.

The film, helmed by AR Murugadoss, had Kajal Aggarwal as the leading lady and Vidyut Jammwal as the antagonist
Last Updated: 08.22 AM, Nov 12, 2022
It's been ten years since Thalapathy Vijay's Thuppaki hit screens on November 13, 2012. The film, was billed as one of the biggest hits in Vijay's career, and had the actor playing an Army Officer, who takes down sleeper cells planning a bomb blast in Mumbai. The film was remade in Hindi as Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty. Here are a few interesting facts about the film.
AR Murugadoss's engaging screenplay
The film marked Vijay's maiden collaboration with AR Murugadoss and he played an intelligence officer in the Indian Army, who goes to take down and deactivate a sleeper cell planning a bomb blast across the city. The engaging screenplay meant that the film never had a dull moment and the audience had a fun time watching the actor in a completely new avatar.
The chemistry between Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal
Thuppaki also marked the first film of Vijay with the leading lady Kajal Aggarwal. Their chemistry in the film was such a hit, along with the comedy portions, that they soon came together in Jilla as well.
Chartbuster music by Harris Jayaraj
Harris Jayaraj, who has been a regular in AR Murugadoss's films like Ghajini and 7Aum Arivu, scored the music for Thuppakki as well. The film marked the comeback of Vijay as a singer with the song, Google Google, a duet with Andrea Jeremiah. Vijay had last sung, Vaadi Vaadi, in Sachien (2005). Not only were the songs a huge hit, the background music, too, worked well for the film.
A strong antagonist
Vidyut Jammwal played a terrorist in the film, who heads the sleeper cell. The fight between the leading man and the antagonist were clearly engaging and the events that led up to the meeting of the two had the audience eating out of their hands. Santosh Sivan's effective cinematography made the film all the more appealing.

The arrival, finally, of Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind is cause for celebration. Begun by Welles in 1970 with the intention of serving notice of his return to Hollywood, the ambitious and incendiary film wound up, like many of his projects, unfinished, the legal rights disappearing in a multinational quagmire. The completion of the film and its online availability will, one hopes, expand the profile of a great filmmaker known most widely for his first film, the groundbreaking and still absorbing 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane. Though many know him solely for Kane, there remains much confusion about both Welles and his body of work, with many assuming that Kane was a peak, followed by a number of unsuccessful projects, appearances in advertisements, and gradual dissolution.
So herewith, a kind of "Orson Welles 201", with YouTube links. Dig in!:
The Citizen Kane Trailer - cut by Welles to introduce his film and company to the general public, it's a warm and engaging little piece that also engages many of the movie's more experimental and layered techniques.
Orson Welles' Sketch Book - Six fifteen-minute episodes, shot for European television in that wonderful year of 1955, capture Welles drawing and talking. He draws you in so effortlessly, in this surprisingly intimate and engaging format, that you may find yourself, in current parlance, bingewatching all 90 minutes of it. Some YouTube commenters suggest that Welles basically invented YouTube with this series, which is a fun conceit.
The Fountain of Youth - the pilot for an anthology TV series (The Orson Welles Show, to have been executive produced by Desi Arnaz) is an astonishing stand-alone half hour story, with Welles easily adapting his vision to the small screen. Adapting John Collier's short story "Youth from Vienna," the story is shot through with Welles' vibrant high style, with Welles himself present as bemused, all-knowing (maybe too-knowing) narrator. Considered a crucial work by many Welles afficionados, it's a marvelous self-contained piece that spotlights much of what makes Welles great.
The Merchant of Venice - Welles had been fascinated by Shakespeare's drama of revenge and anti-Semitism, and numerous fragments of various attempts to film it over the years survive. In this clip from Dean Martin's variety show in 1968, we see Welles the Shakespearean actor in full force, delivering Shylock's monologue to engaged, deep silence, then sustained applause.
The F For Fake Trailer - also cut and filmed by Welles, this trailer is every bit as baffling as the movie it's meant to represent (and includes much footage that doesn't even appear in the movie, which is perfectly appropriate). And at nine minutes it cheerfully flaunts and subverts its own purpose as a piece of advertising, turning into a bizarre and lively short film in its own right.

Last year, fans were introduced to a new villain in Star Wars lore, with Adam Driver's Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. As powerful as this new villain is, even he bows down to the iconic Darth Vader, in a memorable scene where he claims to finish what Vader started. Darth Vader will finally make his return to the big screen in the first Star Wars spin-off Rogue One: A Star Wars, in theaters December 16, and today we have new details on how he fits into the story from director Gareth Edwards, plus more on another new villain, Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn).
Rogue One is set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, following a group of rebels lead by Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) who are tasked with stealing the plans for the original Death Star. Ben Mendelsohn's Director Orson Krennic is in charge of the Death Trooper squad and the advanced weapons research wing of the Imperial army, but unlike other Imperial leaders, such as Peter Cushing's Gran Moff Tarkin, Krennic doesn't have an elitist air about him. During an interview with USA Today, director Gareth Edwards said that Ben Mendelsohn had asked if the filmmaker wanted him to adopt "a very posh English accent,' but the director said that wasn't necessary.
"It feels like if the Empire ever have a job vacancy, they go to the Royal Shakespeare Company to headhunt people. I like the idea that Ben's character was much more working-class (and succeeded) through sheer force of personality and ideas. (Krennic) hits a brick wall in the hierarchy where they won't let him in the club and it's going to turn into a them-or-us situation: either Krennic or Tarkin and the others."
James Earl Jones does return to provide the iconic voice of Darth Vader, with "various actors inhabiting the old battle armor and helmet." While it was previously reported that Darth Vader would have a large role, the director reveals that this iconic villain is "used sparingly," but his presence loomed large on the set. Here's what the filmmaker had to say about a scene involving Darth Vader, where Ben Mendelsohn pulled the filmmaker aside, as the director grew nervous that something was wrong.
"It's like we're at the playground again and there's this hero sort of standing there. You end up very respectful of him: Even though you know there's a guy inside the outfit, you still talk to him like he's Vader. He went, 'It's Darth Vader. We filmed with Darth Vader.' And I was like, 'I know. It's amazing, isn't it?' It was like no one wanted to admit that they're having a little fanboy freak-out but everyone did. It's impossible not to. He's so iconic."
The director also shared that he saw full-sized Death Trooper costumes during a recent visit to a Los Angeles mall, which made him realize that he will never get to make another film that is "already a part of popular culture." It remains to be seen how much more footage will be unveiled before Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on December 16. We'll also have to wait and see if Rogue One will be able to challenge Star Wars: The Force Awakens massive opening weekend box office record of $247.9 million when it hits theaters on December 16.

Chris Albrecht’s decision to renew “Boss” for a second season, a month before the bow of its frosh season, was personal. “I wanted to see what happened next and the only way to do that was to pick up the show,” the Starz topper joked at Thursday’s preem party at the Arclight.
Kelsey Grammer agreed, “It just makes good sense.”
Co-star Jeff Hephner said he’ll stick to acting rather than delve into the dirty politics the show dramatizes. “When you get into the world of politics and how dysfunctional and cynical it can be you start to wonder: How does shit get done?” he asked.
A few blocks south in Hollywood, HBO celebrated the preem of “Enlightened” on Paramount’s sound stage one, which it turned into a zen temple complete with massages, henna artists and prayer-bead necklaces, and guests sipped on orchid-adorned champagne.
Laura Dern joked about co-star Luke Wilson, saying he’s “everyone’s dream for a husband, or ex-husband.”

Mirren the assassin?
When you hear the name Helen Mirren, you probably think more of royalty or authority figures than someone who can snap bones with Bourne-style efficiency.
But the Oscar-winning actress is getting her knuckles dirty right alongside Bruce Willis in the action flick RED, playing "an old associate with a lethal set of skills."
The story revolves around a former CIA operative (Willis) enjoying his retirement, until the new company director (Morgan Freeman) discovers his secrets and decides to make it permanent by dispatching a younger high-tech black-ops crew.
The Summit movie is based on a Warren Ellis comic series, and is being directed by Robert Schwenke (FLIGHTPLAN, THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE).
|Extra Tidbit:||Mirren was invested as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2003 -- the same year she dropped her dress in CALENDAR GIRLS.|
