Longest movie ever...
It's that civil war one. I want to say it's called Gettysburg. It has an intermission and everything. 4 hours and 20 minutes approximately. Lawrence of Arabia is about 3 and half hours.

Mel Gibson... I've been doing that a lot lately, like i put 1985 instead of 1984 for a book title. It's been happening when I'm up at about 3am. Wonder if there's a coincidence :|

The Dark Knight [Tag all spoilers, please]
I liked it in the first movie, but that was about it. I realize he is different by a mile in Batman, but the way he talked to girls and the way he would have those creepy laughs in just about every situation. Maybe I'm the only one, but I really thought the BASE of his character seemed a lot like Johnny Depp's characters in other movies.

saddest movie ever
Well if we're going Television as well, the last 2 episodes of House this season were pretty wrenching on the heart. Especially when they played Bon Iver and Iron and Wine as the final songs. Man it's near impossible not to get a little tear in the eye.

The Dark Knight [Tag all spoilers, please]
Well tonight I ventured, with a few friends, to the local movie theater to waste $7.75 on a movie. Tonight we chose The Dark Knight. I'm not usually a fan of super-hero movies, but I've heard excellent reviews from friends, family, and online forum users. I went in thinking Heath Ledger was going to wow me with an acting persona never seen before by my eyes. I thought that Christian Bale would be the super-hero that I might finally enjoy watch triumph over evil. I had high hopes for this movie, personally, yet was thoroughly unimpressed. Immediately upon The Joker entering his first seen it was hard for me to not compare his "persona" to the alike feminine and swaggering Captain Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp. Granted The Joker was a tad bit more sadistic than Captain Jack, it was my first impression nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, I hate Pirates as much as the next guy, but I shrugged it off, thinking that it would get better. It didn't at all. Throughout the movie I was able to predict many of The Joker's supposed "sick twists"; many of which were rip offs of other decisions that movie characters have had to make in order to save the life of another (Saw anyone?). So as the movie progressed I got a little more into it thinking, "Hey, this ain't so bad after all, maybe I'm just too much of a downer." It was all fine and dandy until the writers decided to take a huge steaming plot-dump in the middle of the movie where there was absolutely no pacing at all. The movie took a huge cliff jump and belly flopped into the water below for about 20 minutes right in the middle. I won't say which part, because I don't spoil movies, in hide tags or not, but for any other film critic, it was pretty obvious. But never mind the plot halt, never mind The Joker's ripped off techniques, let's focus on the overall acting. Christian Bale did a very nice job playing Batman, I'd even say better than any others that have done it before him. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine both played the advice giving father figures greatly as well. Not a single actor really decides to take over this movie and "own" it, which is a good thing. Overall I'd give this movie 7/10. Way too much hype and too few results.

So why are people not buying/selling as much now?
I've experienced similar things. I can't buy Super Attack Potions (3) anymore, no matter how long or what price I leave them on. I had to make my last 100 I was going to use for Slayer :|

Books and Classic Movies. Buying a book is the best investment you can make. You're investing in knowledge which, in turn, can provide you an endless supply of everything else in the world.

Gun Control
I think it says that if they're on the verge of banning toy guns, that maybe the real guns should be banned in the first place.

Is it serious?
There are times in life where you need to be serious, but for the rest: have a ball. Life is far too short to be caught worrying or being depressed about the little things. You only realize how much time you've squandered away worrying or taking it "seriously" when you get older. Take life one step at a time, roll with the punches, and live like you've nothing to lose. Live a life full of no regrets and you'll always find yourself waking up in the morning ready to keep going. Laugh at everything. No matter how "grave" something is, there is always an amount of comedy in it.

*Shudders* I totally forgot about seeing that movie, thanks for reminding me of the most f-ed up movie I've ever watched :lol:

The Dark Knight [Tag all spoilers, please]
I've had a lot of my friends tell me it's the best "sadistic role" they've seen, and I just kindly remind them of Kevin Spacey in "Se7en". Heath does play the part very well, but it's not the end all be all role.

I Need A Guitar
It really depends on what genre you're going to play. The guy that's in my band bought an Ibanez over last Christmas break and it sounds pretty awesome. He's got a Line 6 cab and pedal board as well. We play metal.

Gun Control
Are you seriously telling me that violent crime is so ridiculously high in America that a gun is absolutely necessary for self-defence 2 million times a year? This figure has been discussed before. His stats say "2 Million cases of using a gun for self defense every year" is based upon when a gun is *held* or shown during an altercation, not even fired, and using a very SMALL sample size. My statistic that I found was under 50,000 per year where the gun was actually fired; and that INCLUDED when a police officer used it. Also the study I found was taken over a number of years, not just one, and the person had a great deal higher sample size. If you want to say 2 million, then you might as well let people just have fake guns instead of real ones. Using a gun is FIRING IT, not holding it.

One Day as a Lion
I was listening to 93x today (radio station) and about 5 people called in in one hour and requested it, so the DJ sent the intern out to buy it and apparently in the next couple weeks they're going to start playing it haha.

One Day as a Lion
It's a pretty good EP. Wouldn't say it's De La Rocha's best stuff, but it's still good.
