movies

The dream world philosophy is that when you go and see a movie you get so engaged in the movie that it feels like a dream. I agree because I love going to the movies and after its done you have to reboot your brain to reality. That is the only reason I go to the movies anymore, I have the option of not going and i choose to go. I also want to talk about the product placement in movies, like The Ballet of Ricky Bobby. In almost every single scene there is SOMETHING that is being commercialized, be it Poweraid, Fruitloops, or even the car he drives. You can not avoid it even if we see it. Now it is just part of the business, but how many of those adds have a part in the movie as a whole? I can not answer that myself, and in my opinion no one can. The last thing i want to bring up is copycat behavior. I recently just saw a movie "On Boc II". The movie is about a tribe member going to the big city to survive. With this you have two hours of him kicking everyones ass. Now on the other hand when people went to see "Fast and Furious" they came out of the theaters racing. Their excuse was because they saw the movie, but after "On Boc II" I did not go and clean the streets with my bare hands. So just think about it, we are effected by movies but in the end it is us making the decisions.

week 4

I am going to talk about the seven Cannons of Journalism. One responsibility, well this can be taken many different ways but. Freedom of the press, this is a must because freedom of speech. Independence, well this to me is going to go in the way of the government not giving any money to any paper unless it is an official document of the USofA. In that case then they should print it all out themselves. The next one is the most upsetting to me, truthfulness, it should be the most important part of the media at any point in time. If you are not telling the truth then you are not doing your job. Impartiality, not finishing a story or leaving a PANDORA BOX open. You do not finish something people are going to go crazy. Fair Play, you already know what that deals with. Decency, there is none of that in our world anymore.

I want to first talk about bad cultural imperialism, COPS for instance. The show is only about how bad ass we all are. Really ALLLLLLL it shows is some person who has horrible judgment and thinks that they can get away from our police force. At the start of the fugitives run they show him shooting at the the police, and at the end they show him getting away. How is that going to portray our society, well besides the fact that we are telling people RUNNNNN its the cops symbolizing that you cannot trust those who are meant to protect you. Yet when a child is beaten in Chicago by a crowd while being videotaped we complain about how this should never ever happen and then ask "why do none of these children come to the police?" HELLLLLO they just finished watching cops and remembered what real "thugs"(Indian assassin) by not "snitching" because "snitches get stitches.
