v for vendetta

wow. wow. wow. i really enjoyed this movie… and at 2 hours and 20 minutes long, that’s saying something. from the cinematography to the story line, everything was well crafted. i highly recommend it. there were a few things that i didn’t really care for and that seemed a little forced into the plot, but over all it was a very entertaining movie…

if you’re going looking for a deep and symbolic movie, you will go home disappointed… but if you go looking for a very entertaining and thought provoking movie… watch it.

the dollar sign…

// March 14th, 2006 // 5 Comments » // general

riddle me this: why in the hell does the dollar sign go at the beginning of the number, as in $700? do you not say “seven hundred dollars”? or do you say “dollars seven hundred” and sound like a total boob? seriously, why doesn’t the $ come after the number like it does for cents as in 7Â¢? some will argue that it let’s you know that the number you’re about to read is a currency value (kind of like how they prefix questions with Â¿ in spanish… but that’s another topic entirely). so what? like i won’t realize that once i hit the $ after the fact, it’s not like i’m going to forget it was number and append the fact that is a monetary value in my feeble mind — c’mon.

i just hate typing, and being used to typing what i’m saying in my head, it always comes out 700$… you know? irritating… where do i start a petition and how many signatures do i need to get this changed damnit?!
