Finding Nemo in 3D

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-resident-evil-finding-nemo-box-office-20120913,0,6562897.story

          So as we all know it, Finding Nemo is now heading on the big screen again after several years.But not exactly as before this time in eye popping 3D. Yeah big whoop. Everyone is making remakes of popular movies in 3D just to make business. Basically everyone is doing it for the benefit of the companies. All they want is money, that's why they make every single movie now 3D. Some movies don't even look good in 3D. They think Finding Nemo in 3D will be No.1 in box office when it first releases, just like how The Lion King in 3D did. I personally wouldn't pay to watch a movie I could watch at home for not the price of maybe 20 bucks. I don't know but that's just me.
                  This article caught my eye because it's about Finding Nemo and as a kid I've always loved Finding Nemo. It was sad and entertaining to me now as how it was back then. This impacts me as a student because maybe I would go watch it if I had money and could afford to waste 20 bucks on a money that I could see at home regularly so it informs me and reminds me that all they want is my money. This impacts me as a filmmaker because I can maybe use this technique in the future since there still is alot of people who will waste their money to go watch this or simply they just have money to spare.

                Questions that I have are, is every movie in the future going to be based on 3D now? Are remakes how you guys are going to rely on to get our money?

Bradley Cooper's Under The Influence Life?

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-bradley-cooper-sober-the-words,0,2773600.story



       Bradley Cooper plays under the influences roles in movies, a great example "The Hangover." He's wasted and can't remember anything at all, drugs, alcohol, and bachelor parties. But all that is just a script to a movie. In reality he has been sober for 8 years and is loving every minute of it. You would think since he's young and handsome that he wouldn't have quit drugs and alcohol at the young age of 21. The age where you are actually legal to drink and get wasted whenever you want without getting in trouble with the law, about age of course, your actions are another story. But Cooper seemed to have one too many drugs and alcohol before. He would use it to escape his insecurities. He thought he was never good enough, he would never amount to much. He thought he was never going to live to his potential. Boy was he wrong.
      Bradley Cooper is such a success. He didn't see it coming but it's here and it's now. He came out in both Hangover movies and they were a huge success both, he was voted sexiest man alive, and he's made it so big, he's going to Toronto International Film Festival. Insecurities, goodbye. He's basically perfect.
     What caught my eye about this article is basically the concept that it's about Bradley Cooper. He's so beautiful how this not catch someone's eye. This article impacts me as a student because many students are insecure and get involve with drugs and alcohol cause they think it's over I'm never going to amount to anything. Well this is a good example that you are wrong. You can make it great change for yourself in your life if you want, live a better life and don't give up. This affects me as a future filmmaker because I could use this as an example to give someone who's barley entering the business and seems unsure about themselves a shot. You may never know you can become very close friend's with them since you gave them a shot when no one else did. Not only that but what if they blow up and make it big. It will most defiantly benefit you. This affects me as a consumer because it makes me believe insecurities mean nothing. They only make you feel down about yourself, but you need to battle them and strive for greatness.
     Some questions I have are does Bradley Cooper ever get the sudden urge to stop his sobriety? If so how does he fight it? Is he still insecure about himself after being voted sexiest man alive? I hope not I think he's beautiful.

Paranorman and Ghost Movies

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-paranormal-movies-20120816,0,7450287.story

"Paranorman" and other recent movies like "The Awakening" and "The Apparition" are blowing up the theatres now. Apparently ghost related movies are being in right now in August. Everyone is getting thrilled to the fact that ghost movies are coming out in August, 2 months before October. But not all these people really truly realized the meaning/s of these movies. "Paranorman" isn't all about a boy who could see ghost and zombies and talk to them. It's also about a boy who doesn't fit in because he's different. People just look at it in the perspective that it's a ghost movie because people like the thrill of getting scared. They enjoy the chills, the suspense, the heart racing moments.
This caught my eye because I love Paranorman.I went to see the movies and I thought it was really funny but at the same time it made me sad because I got the concept that he didn't fit in at school and that his parents were always so mean to him. I could somewhat relate to it, I guess that's why I chose to write about this.
This article impacts me as a student because I want to know
what's going on in the theatres because I might want to go out and watch a scary movie one of these days. This impacts me as a future filmmaker because I want to know what attracts my audience, if I want to make a horror film I need to know what they want to see, what will keep them coming. 

Questions I have are does releasing horror movies in August attract the audience more than releasing them in October? Why don't they just wait until October? It might sell more that way. Does it even matter when they release it, does that even affect the sales? People probably don't even think outside the box and just want to watch the movie anyways.

Fox Internship Lawsuit
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/14/fox-internship-lawsuit-expands_n_1774999.html

20th Century Fox is being sued by interns due to no payment at all. Apparently, interns from the film "The Black Swan" were not paid while working and cooperating for the film. They were completely overworked and weren't getting paid at all. 20th Century Fox tried using an excuse saying that it was the director of "The Black Swan", Darren Aronofsky's fault and that the interns didn't even work for Fox Searchlight. Later, Charlie Rose and the production company got sued by Lucy Bickerton for unpaid labor from interns. Guilty or not guilty. You tell me.
This article is important because they're many young people trying to find a career in the film industry but they aren't aware of the unfairness some big name company's can bring. This article caught my eye because I want to have a career in film and I would like to be aware of these kinds of situations for the future. I wouldn't want to apply for an intern in a place where I know, would pay me so low and work me so high. These kinds of articles will prepare me for the future. How can a really successful company not have enough money to pay simple interns? Maybe they are just greedy? I don't know, no one will understand the real reason but just the company itself.
