Carmike Cinema

The subliminal advertising in the intro was subtle enough that you don't even think about it (although that could also be because we are so used to it), but it was also obvious enough that you know what products you have to choose form, and it makes you hungry and thirsty. This points to us being a very consumer society.

Movie Mojos

Out of the boxofficemojo.com's list of movies I have seen most of them in theaters. I go to movies a lot. The ones I haven't seen for sure are the ones I wasn't alive for. I think these films made it on this list because they are the ones that most people went to see. This could be because of the actors in the movie or just what type of movie it was. They also could have made this list because these movies could have come from books and people liked the books, or the way the movie was advertised could have been a factor. Also the detail they put into the movie, and the use of good technology they put into the movie could have made it more realistic which made it better.

Movies I most watch

The Lion King I watch a lot because it is a classic and I love it. Really any Disney movie I watch a lot of because they never get old. I also watch The Vow a lot. It is such a cute movie, but also a chick flick. But I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone to watch. Another movie I watch a lot of is Thor. Chris Hemsworth is just so cute! Plus it's a really good movie, I just love those super hero movies.

Textbook Chapters

Chapter 6 looks pretty interesting in learning about movies and the impact of images. Movies are very intertwined with our lives, so it will be interesting to learn more about them. Chapter 15 also seems really interesting on legal controls and freedom of expression. Just to see what it's about and see what they consider "freedom of expression."

Music and Media

Music affects what media plays. Music is how media gets the publics interest and keeps their interest in what the media wants them to know or see. Our book included this because our society is so involved with music. There isn't a day that goes by without listening to some type of music. Music hasn't really influenced my life in any way other than what I listen to, but even then I am not really picky because I listen to everything. Look at this article on whether music is the new social media.
