"Get it on DVD."
Here's a thought I had. Why is it that when we review a movie, we might say "Wait for it to come on DVD"? Well, it's used to describe something as being "not so good", and means you should save your money and not pay to go see it in a theater. But why do we say it, when DVDs are a fuck load more expensive than a movie ticket? And Blu-rays more-so. Why would that be more cost efficient? If a movie's not that great, why would you want to spend more money on it to own it? Watch it again? But it was bad wasn't it? So you can watch it with a group? But that means you're paying $20 when in the theaters you could simply have payed $9.50 and those other assholes could buy their own damn ticket. And last, candy? I don't buy candy at theaters. The last time I did, it totaled out to like $50! Fuck that. Sneak in your own candy.
So bottom line, why is it that we as American moviegoers always say "See it on DVD" to express that it is not worth your money, when clearly it is cheaper to pay admission at the theaters. Now I know that VHS was much cheaper and therefore the statement would make sense, but this is 2010! Blu-ray can cost like $30! It's totally outdated.

I just made a forum.
Yeah, no joke.
http://thegreatgategazette.forumotion.com/index.htm
It's an Elder Scrolls fansite, or at least I want it to be. Could definitely use some work, and I'm too cheap to buy space, so it's being hosted for free, which means it's not so free in the liberty sense. Oh well, it's a start. Not really expecting much to happen really, just kinda wanted to experiment, but hey, you never know. I wouldn't mind having a forum of my own, especially since the Elder Scrolls fan community really doesn't have a good independent fansite updating currently. Blame the lack of news from Bethesda I guess.
In any case, it's up and running.
Also, I'd like to thank TheSnakeSoup.org for inspiring me. You run a great site Ravi. Keep it up.

My Batman 3
Okay, I've had this idea for a REALLY LONG TIME (like ever since TDK was released) and I have wanted to write this down for a while. Now I think I will.
Plot Summary to Batman 3:
It's a couple years after the events of The Dark Knight. Batman is being hunted by the Gotham City Police. Commissioner Gordon leads the force, but secretly aids Batman in dodging the cops. All while this is happening, a new crime boss has risen to fill the place left by Carmine "The Roman" Falcone and Salvatore Maroni. His name is Oswald Cobblepot, but in the underground world he is known simply as "The Penguin"! The Penguin is a cunning crook and he reunifies Gotham under his criminal leadership. He, along with the Batman, are the GCPD's biggest problem. But the Penguin is well protected, and Batman is no easy catch. The repeated failure of the police bring cause for assistance. The mayor brings in legendary detective Edward Nigma to help the police track down Batman. Nigma's skills nearly rival those of the Batman and the two are almost evenly matched. But still, the ever elusive and intelligent Batman always seems to escape, leading Nigma to become frustrated. He becomes purely obsessed with the caped crusader. At one point, he decides that the only way to catch a crazed, masked warrior, is to become one himself! Thus he dons the guise of the Riddler, and goes to the streets to commit crime and lure Batman to him.
This is about half the movie, but you can see where it's going. This is what I think should be the story of the film. It would be great to see a battle of the mind between Batman and a foe of great measure, the Riddler. All the while having the crazy mob boss the Penguin in the mix, who might possibly form an alliance with Riddler to take down Batman. It would be able to delve into the insanity of obsession, the desperation of crime and, in the end, the redemption of a hero. It'd be the perfect way to end the series.
And that's my ideal Batman 3.
