Media
I usually never go to newly released movie and pay full price. I always wait until they go to the cheap theaters when they’re only a dollar or two dollars. During the summer is when I see the most “Hollywood” movies because my friends like to go to the cheap theaters as well. My roommate and I have cable so I watch some shows and a lot of the movie channels. My boyfriend is constantly downloading films so I get to watch a lot from him.
Sometimes I get really freaked out watching “reality” television because everything is so produced and so edited. It’s scary to me how much they manipulate everything to project a whole new image and message.
I am usually cynical about a lot of things, so when I am exposed to certain medias I feel a lot of anger towards them. This is usually because I feel that there is way too much fluff on the mainstream news, I hate the way gender roles are still continuing to be portrayed in all forms of media, the way products are advertised to certain genders, and how most of television is still mainly whitewashed.

I feel the exact same way about your anger. Hollywood is full of so much manipulation. The lines are blurred as to what is a true, human emotion or what was fabricated in an exec's office in L.A. It's really annoying.

Yes I do agree about how gender is still. exploited on television and in music. its not even about someone's talent any more
