Five Movies I Want to See

This is a list of five movies I have had on my "list", but have yet to watch.

1. Up - I have seen every Disney/Pixar movie except for Up. I don't know why, but I just haven't gotten around to it. Even though every person I've talked to about the movie absolutely loved it.

2. Michael Jackson's This Is It - I really enjoy Michael Jackson's music. The controversy surrounding his life did not have any affect on his ability as a singer/songwriter. I was also genuinely upset when he died. I am very interested in seeing what he was like during some of his last days.

3. The Wrestler - This movie got praised by everyone who saw it. Those who work in the wrestling entertainment industry, or had in the past, all said it was a perfect example of what goes on behind the scenes.

4. The Jerk - I have caught parts of this movie here and there when it is shown on television, but I have never seen the whole movie. It is praised as one of the best comedies ever and one of those movies everyone should see.

5. Silent Movie - This is the only Mel Brooks film I have not seen. He is one of the best film and theatrical writers ever. I have heard this movie showcases what makes his writing so good, as there is almost no talking through the entire film.

Internet Fighting

It seems like fighting over the Internet has been around since the very beginnings of the Internet. Most of the people who do this, most commonly referred to as "trolls" in Internet lingo, have fun while doing this. The anonymity of the Internet makes it incredibly easy to pick a fight as there is a very slim chance one would actually meet the person he or she is fighting with. Paul Bradshaw's "12 ideas for blog posts" even suggest starting a fight with another blogger in an attempt to gain traffic. The question that I immediately thought was, "Is this something we really want to be saying is alright to do?" To me it seems like doing this is the same as those Z-List celebrities, like Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton, who practically whore themselves out in order to be famous. In my opinion, this is not how one should gain readership to a blog. Why can't we just write something substantial or thought-provoking that will make someone legitimately want to read the blog? If you can't write something like that and you have to resort to picking a fight with some random person on the Internet, maybe you shouldn't have a blog in the first place.

Disappointment

Imagine this: a game set in a futuristic world that not only has ground combat, but also air combat using a personal jetpack. The game also features a main character voiced by one of the best voice actors of our time. Sounds pretty cool, right? Wrong. I had extremely high hopes for Dark Void, the previously described game. The jetpack combat was enough to sell me on the idea, as I expected this to add a bit of innovation. However, I was incredibly disappointed when I finally got my hands on it. I have noticed this is a continuing trend in recent games such as Wolfenstein and Too Human. As much as I would love to say this trend will end, I know this will happen again and again in the future.
