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...

... try to reenact. If you are weak minded fantasy can easily take over, so be careful. Individuals need to be certain that their brain can take different types of entertainment. I would proclaim we as citizens have the right to do as we please, as long as consequences are noticed.

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.
When deciding what movie to do for this particular paper I faced a few issues. I knew what the requirements were, but I wanted something different and something I could have fun watching and writing as well. So, after looking around and pondering movies for weeks I finally decided on a perfect choice The 60’s directed by Mark Piznarski?
An actor’s scowl, a small subversive gesture, a dirty remark that someone tosses off with a mock-innocent face, and the world makes a little bit of sense.” Kael believes that there are so many movies that don’t live up to critics’ standards of what a good movie is, but is still a good movie. Movies are meant to stimulate imagination and generate emotion, not thought. As long as a movie makes you feel some type of emotion, than it is in fact worth a person’s time. Kael didn’t write “Trash, Art, and the Movies” to evoke emotions in the reader, but the reader does in fact feel passion. She discusses movies based off her emotions after seeing a movie. She doesn’t put that much thought into it except how it made her feel and what appealed to
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.
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

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
