Media I've been exposed to this week...9/7-9/13
First of all, for those members of my family looking at this blog you're probably wondering what's up. I'm in a media class and we are required to write twice a week on the media we were exposed to, was it good or bad, how can we apply the theories learned in class to what we saw; etc. Just thought I'd educate everyone before divulging on this exciting topic! Why is it exciting, you may ask? Because this week my roommates and I watched the well-known romance, "The Notebook" and were exposed to some seriously risque love scenes (actually, we fast-forwarded through 99.9% of the the bad parts in the movie but just happened to accidentally stop it at a really awkward part for a split-second). I have come to the conclusion that this is one of those movies you just have to be in the mood for. If you're having a rough day, and just need to escape from reality and live vicariously through other people, this one works. However, if you're not in that kind of mood it's kind of a joke. Needless to say, I laughed through the whole thing. But had you caught me on one of my more sentimental days, I think it could have elicited a tear or two. THE END.

Haha this makes me laugh. It's so true though, how movies like those affect you definitely depends on your mood! The love scenes are much too frequent, unfortunately. Thank goodness we can fast forward!
kaitlin when aren't you in the mood for a sappy love story? ha. i agree with you though, my mood definitely effects the type of media that i want to expose myself to. i wonder if the the fact that i watch a lot of violent sports says anything about me... perhaps its some type of catharsis (despite the fact that they said that's not really legit in class.)
as for fast forwarding through the bad scenes in movies. hmmm well after a moment of thought i don't really have anything to say about that. good for you though. i guess i do have one question, if you're kids want to watch a movie that has a few bad scenes are you going to allow them to watch it and fast forward those scenes or not allow them at all to view it?
