Next Tuesday, the biggest blockbuster of the year will make it’s triumphant DVD debut.  This film also happens to be a geek-friendly movie based on one of the coolest super heroes in history.  If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m talking about The Dark Knight.  This is one DVD that will be making it’s way into my collection.  

I have a major gripe over the way that movie studios have been screwing people that buy DVDs over the past few years.  When DVDs first started hitting the market, they were advertised as having super cool bonus features including deleted scenes, commentaries, trailers, bloopers, featuretes, etc.  DVDs were a gold mine for the movie lover that enjoys useless information in documentary form.  Those days are now gone, and I don’t even blame the introduction of Blu-Ray discs.  I blame greedy movie stuidos that know that movie geeks will pay extra for this stuff.

Given the recent headlines, you may think that this is going to be a post on the economic crisis that our country is facing.  Well, you’re wrong.  However, what I say in this post can be related to the problems that our economic and housing sectors are going through because the root problems are the same: greed and corruption.

I actually want to tell you about a recent experience with a more corrupt than typical auto dealership.  If you ever check out my personal blog, you may know that I had a Dodge Colt with almost 200,000 miles that finally died.  Because of it’s very predictable death, I had to buy a new car.  If you weren’t aware of those facts, now you are.
