According to Greater Union, The Dark Knight releases 17 July 2008 in Australia.

According to IMDB, The X-Files Sequel is currently set to be released 24 July 2008 in Australia.

*geekgasms*

I AM GOING TO HAVE THE GREATEST BIRTHDAY MOVIE EXPERIENCE.

So the question is… can I hold off on seeing TDK for a week (OMG) so I can do a geeky double whammy? Or do I say to hell with it, see it the weekend it releases then do a double whammy anyway?

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Am I… just not getting it?

Back when I first started running websites (before I ever had my own webspace and domains) the task was always to find free webhost services with NO ADS.

Eventually that became impossible so rather cave to having yucky ads on my site I bought my own webspace.

So, why do I see SO MANY fansites out there that have those friggin’ Google Ads or any OTHER kind of ads on them? I mean… what? Granted, if it’s a popular website the bandwidth could be hefty. But here’s the thing.

One of my webhosts is DreamHost. I pay around $10/mth (which could be cheaper if I signed up for a longer contract but I digress…). I GET OVER 6 TERABYTE A MONTH. That’s, roughly, 6000 GB. AND it increases by 40GB weekly!

Surely a fandom website (blog, forum, gallery, whatever) isn’t going to use more than that? When there are so many webhosts out there offering ridiculous amounts of space & bandwidth for such a low price, why are the ads present? I could understand if they were trying to offset the cost of webhosting but $10 is… well, less than 3 cups of coffee out here!

Okay, let’s talk Nim’s Island. Holy freaking CUTENESS, Batman!! I totally forgot that I saw the trailer for this when I went and saw 27 Dresses a few weeks back, and I fell in love with it.

#1, it’s got Gerry Butler in it. HELLO. And Gerry being goofy and awesome and…

#2, it’s got Jodie Foster being awesome.

#3, it looks just plain FUN. I will SO be seeing this when it comes out (April 3 - WOOHOO!! That weekend is shaping up to be bloody kick-arse! Seriously, BSG S4, Nim’s Island AND Dr Who? ).

Anyway, have some trailers! First, the trailer I saw in the cinema. Then there’s the official trailer from the Apple site.

I had been feeling decidedly off all afternoon. I had to work until 5 and it was, honest to God, the longest train ride home EVER. I thought I might have to hop off, more than once.
