Two years ago I started increasing interest in television, and watching movies. In addition, I grew quite fond of a sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. The show is called “Big Bang Theory”. Anytime a good laugh was needed, I knew I could count on this hilarious serious. Also I found a new favorite movie. My new favorite movie is called “Notebook” it’s a romantic drama film. Anyone who has seen this movie probably had eyes filled with tears. The movie is directed by Nick Cassavetes, it’s based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks. This is the type of entertainment I take a strong liking to; each one has its own reasons.
During the month (January 6 – January, 12, 2014) the sixteenth week of season 2013- 2014, “Big Bang Theory” has the largest ratings from viewers ages 18-24. I researched this information on www.tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com, written by Sara Bibel. I believe the older crowd has a different sense of humor, and their interest is what causes this show to have an upward trend. The series “Big Bang Theory” has numerous funny quotes that can explain why the trend increases, and why people tune in everyday to watch.
Examples of some quotes from www.the-big-bang-theory.com/quotes/ are I’m not crazy, my mother had me tested (Sheldon Cooper’s role). Another (Sheldon Cooper role) mom smokes in the car. Jesus is okay with it, but we can tell dad. There is an Indian character (Raj) and he says, “but e-excuse me, I have something to say. None of you may realize it, but I was very much looking forward to this weekend. It was going to be like the old days—the four of us hanging out, playing video games, before you guys all got girlfriends. Do you have any idea what it’s l...

Younger generations and the more vulnerable in society can be influenced in avoiding peer pressure, but for the individuals filled with wisdom, the shows can reflect based on American modern society. Everybody Loves Raymond and Full House are great shows who faces similar life obstacles a typical person living in the US has today.

As you probably could have assumed, I love to watch any film I can get my hands on, and my once strong friendships are hanging on by a thread due to hours spent helping on short films of mine. Unlike some applicants, I come from a farming community with no film connection, none of my classmates are interested in pursuing a career like film, my school offers no film courses, and I have no film connection currently. Surely I sound like a poor fit for the Hollywood Reporter’s top film school, you may even wonder why I, without a single connection, would choose this field. Hopeful it may be understood me more through my background.

Film and literature are two media forms that are so closely related, that we often forget there is a distinction between them. We often just view the movie as an extension of the book because most movies are based on novels or short stories. Because we are accustomed to this sequence of production, first the novel, then the motion picture, we often find ourselves making value judgments about a movie, based upon our feelings on the novel. It is this overlapping of the creative processes that prevents us from seeing movies as distinct and separate art forms from the novels they are based on.

The other day I watched a movie… it's called “ What's eating Gilbert Grape”. The movie was really good, although it was like two hours long and it was a drag. Yet the movie kept me asking myself, what's going to happen next, yet maybe that's just me because I’m always asking myself that during a movie(or book). This movie was about a dysfunctional family… not only family, but house, town, and people too. This movie is your typical dysfunctional small town movie, yet with a few twist and turns.
In the television series Family Guy, there are many episodes that contain different types of humor including: slapstick humor, pop-culture humor, and offensive humor. Because of the use of so many types of humor, Family Guy appeals to a very unique and somewhat split demographic. The demographic is unique because the pop-culture references embedded in Family Guy’s format are primarily drawn from the 1970s and 80s, so only previous generations are guaranteed to get all the references; yet, the humor tactics involved appeal to younger people and can even be called “immature.” According to the show’s creator, Family Guy’s target audience is men between the ages of 18 and 34 years old.
The health of our nation is an important topic that has been discussed for many years. It is no surprise that much of what contributes to illness such as heart disease and obesity is the consumption of sugar and junk foods. This is a simple fact that is widely known, but the government still feels the need to step in when it comes to controlling the population’s eating habits. Unfortunately, simply recognizing that something is bad is not always enough to deter someone from indulging. When it comes to our nation’s dietary habits, it is clear that some people may need assistance in making better choices and that is why the health and fitness industry is so big. At the end of the day, it is up to every individual to make their own choices whether
“Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine, some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything’s okay. I don’t make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything’s not okay.” - David Fincher. David Fincher is the director that I am choosing to homage for a number of reasons. I personally find his movies to be some of the deepest, most well made, and beautiful films in recent memory. However it is Fincher’s take on story telling and filmmaking in general that causes me to admire his films so much. This quote exemplifies that, and is something that I whole-heartedly agree with. I am and have always been extremely opinionated and open about my views on the world and I believe that artists have a responsibility to do what they can with their art to help improve the culture that they are helping to create. In this paper I will try to outline exactly how Fincher creates the masterpieces that he does and what I can take from that and apply to my films.

My film pallet has opened up so much there isn’t a movie that I can’t appreciate for some reason. I may not appreciate some films as much as other, but most films there’s something to be appreciated in it. When I look at the hollywood films of today I am going to remember that they are large committee films that can’t have the concise vision of most led by a single person. When looking at them this way I’m going to expect a committee film and look toward the non-committee film market to get my films that are going to be truly great. I will also most likely search to films of hold before searching for new releases until I have enough of a depth of knowledge under me. When I approach making films I am going to approach them questioning how everything I do help tell the best story possible. I am also going to take the techniques and practices from the greats and combine them other greats I know to make the best film I
