Moods of My Media
Media is a way to step out of reality and into a different world. A world where Egyptians rule or animals talk. With this being said I enjoy history and fantasy type genres. Yes I will admit that I love reading and watching Harry Potter. If you have not seen the fifth one in theaters, you are missing out!
I normally go to see movies in a theater a couple times a month. The movie theater outing is more of a social gathering then a film discovery and most times the films I attend; the romantic comedies, are there to TRY and entertain me for a night and most of the time they do not succeed. Most movies that I appreciate are found in the movie store. I can appreciate the movie more when watching it in the comfort of my own home without interruption. This is the best time to watch GOOD MOVIES and by saying that I mean the ones with real story lines that pull you into their plot and make you feel anguish or pride for the character within the story.
Television is less of an activity and more of thoughtful time for me. I tune into any reality show I can get my hands on and watch for what can be hours. For example the America’s Next Top Model reruns on MTV. This time is for relaxing and my brain is shut down. Watching other people and their lives is an easy form of entertainment.
My style of media viewing is broad as I’m sure yours are. Media can be used for many different reasons as I have shown above. I think my viewing choices may show that I have many sides to my personality because there is not just one genre of movie that I can express as my favorite, yet I think I really appreciate a good plot and description where the depth of the movie can come alive.
Comments
I do agree that America's Next top model is time to just relax and chill, not to really think. I'm so addicted to reality tv that it fills up my DVR in a week
