What job i would like

The job that mostly calls my attention is that of the producer because i fell like that job suites me i don't have any particular area in which i excel at in film but i am proficient in everything there is too do so i feel like being a well rounded person would give me and edge as a producer because i would have an understanding of the jobs i'm asking my crew o perform and how they should go about it. That being said i am a music person so being the music supervisor would be something i would like to do maybe even do both.

My review of the elephant man

I completely absolutely positively disliked the elephant man. I did not like many aspects of this movie it was dreadfully slow paced and the character of john merrick honestly gave me the creeps. That being said the over all symbolism in the movie i found to be really well integrated and i can see why things were done the way they were. David Lynch was phenomenal at directing and the movie contained very good acting but i still don't like the movie its just one of those things that you have nothing against but still plain out don't like, its like a food you can eat and it doesn't taste good or bad to you but when asked about it you say you don't like it. I feel that this movie failed to gain my approval simply because i could not in any way connect to a single character to me a good movie is one in which i can identify myself with a character in the cast and the elephant man just didn't do that for me.

My name is John Merrick

Today i was visited by a woman, a very beautiful woman whose name is Ms.Kendall. A curiosity this one she is unlike any woman i have ever met she is beautiful she is kind and oddly enough is not scared me. She came bearing gifts an autographed picture of herself and a book of Shakespeare's works. We read an excerpt of Romeo and Juliet which i enjoyed very much but one thing stood out to me above all today something she did something no one has ever done before, she leaned in close and kissed me. This amazing woman has shown me love like no other woman has before i do not know what to make of it but i now await her next visit longingly. I dare not hope for nothing more than friendship but these feelings are new territory to me i shall see how this develops.

Welcome To My Nightmare

Fear. Everyone has fears those who say they are without fears are lying. But what causes fears ? Why are we so scared of certain things? According to Michael Scott the author of a series of books title The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flammmel one of mankind's greatest fears is the fear of the dark and he goes into explaining how we fear the dark because in the ancient times man was hunted in the dark by savage beast who would feast on men and so that sparked a certain gene to show up in new born humans so that they would know to fear the dark and try to get out of it. There are some funny theories to why we have fears but there are also more enlightened theories, like for example going back to being scared of the dark the more enlightened theory for why we fear it is because in the dark we cannot see and our overly active imaginations, already polluted by media, begins to imagine all the things that can sneak up on you because you cannot see. At the end of the day having a fear is ok just as long as you don't let that fear hold you down.

Courage isn't about being fearless. It's about overcoming your fears. ---somebody said this

My thoughts on bullying


When we thinking of bullying we just imagine a big boy beating up a much smaller boy for his lunch money. Bullying has come along way now there are all sorts of ways to bully people whether its through physical violence, verbal assault, or cyber bullying. The problem with bullying is that people automatically protect the victim and shun the abuser with out ones asking themselves why that person is a bully. Many bullies have tough homes or come from bad neighborhoods where being mean and aggressive is a necessity in order to have a safe lifestyle. A person who is a bully can also have many underlying problems due to an abusive household. I say that next time we catch someone bullying another person we try to find a way to help both the aggressor and the victim because if we just punish the bullies with out rehabilitating them then we are not really finding a solution to the problem but simply directing somewhere else. 

my favorite movie


Lets talk movies. Everyone has a movie that they love above all others for me its Rush Hour 3 starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. This particular movie is an amazing comedy jam packed with tons of action scenes. One of the things that calls my attention from this movie is the fight scenes, I mean we all know Jackie Chan is a brilliant martial artist from his previous works, but in Rush hour his fight scenes seem so much more realistic he doesn’t fight a million people all at once the fights are small with talented individuals going at it. Although this movie contains actions the characters still find a way to make it funny making jokes while in fights and doing things that just make the audience laugh. This movie also has an amazing setting since most of it occurs in Paris, France you have scenes at the Eiffel tower and clubs in Paris it just contributes to the over all appeal of the movie.

The Future

I believe that 100 years from now the future will hold awesome machinery and technology that will allow us to instantly teleport across the planet go where ever we want in a matter of seconds. I think that in the future calling someone will pop up a little holographic version of that person that you can interact with. In the future there will be dishes that instantly pop up what ever food you are thinking of and cups that will fill up with what ever drinks you please. In the future we will have artificial intelligence  servants like Iron Man's Jarvis that will help us by giving us information about anything we ask. In the future people will have the ability to insert a camera right into their eyes so that we can capture any moment with the exact clarity of our eyes(my favorite theory). In the future we will have found a way to live underwater and there will be entire societies in the ocean and freeway ramps will go into the water and cars will adapt to all terrains. In the future video games and movies will be virtual realities were the people will be the lead characters and experience the fantasy world. In the future cities will have machines that can control the weather so that they can make it rain or snow any time they want.

One Time I Laughed Really Really Hard

I laughed extremely hard the day i went to go see Kevin Harts stand up comedy routine. The guys is phenomenal he had everyone in the room busting up for the entire two hours that he was up on stage. I had watched some of his videos so i knew some of the material that he was going to say but hearing it from him in person made it so much funnier. One of my favorite kevin Hart jokes is the one where he defines his dad as a real Step dad because his mom did not allow him to go past the first step on the porch. I also really like the story of when his dad took him swimming and on the car ride home there was a lot of awkward silence and when his dad finally spoke up he said " i almost lost you today" i don't know why but picturing that scene made me laugh really really hard.

My Review of Modern Times


The movie modern times was an amazing piece of art i absolutely loved it. The movie is a silent film and i usually don't go for silent movies because i find them to be very boring but charlie Chaplin was a comical genius this movie kept me entertained the entire time with out the use of words a feat that is very difficult to accomplish in our modern society. The movie was a roller coaster of emotions from heart breaking scenes to silly scenes but the overall flow of the film was not disrupted it was a very well made movie. One of the things that caught my attention about this movie was that Chaplin decided to go with a happy ending, in our times this seems like a normal and logical thing to do everyone loves a happy ending, but around the time this movie was created the depression had already sucked the joy out of people and seeing a happy ending gave the people hope especially when at the end of the movie the little tramp gives his final message to the world "Just Smile". Modern times is also filled with many message and ideas from the mind of charlie Chaplin through this movie we get a feel for the type of person that he was and his views on things like the police and factory owners. There is lots of meaning behind this film and is a cinematic classic, Two thumbs up.
