My Media Experience

The main way that I consume media is through television and film. I really enjoy watching TV at night when I am done with my day. Almost every night I fall asleep watching it. Most of the shows I watch are reality TV. I will also admit that I like to watch Sponge Bob and the Fairly Odd Parents as well. I don't know exactly why I do... and yes I know they don't really require any thought on my part. The movies I watch are almost always on TV or on DVD. I don't like going to theaters for the same reasons that many of you do- the cost. Also, I don't like when the movie is over and I have to immediately snap out of it and be surrounded by other people I don't know. I tend to get too involved in the story. I really like period films because I like history and they can really take you to another world. I also like musicals. I do not really care for most romantic comedies, they all just seem too similar to me. As of right now I have not seen a whole lot of independant films. However, I have just started working at the Oak Street Theater. I plan to see more "non-Hollywood" type films there.

Comments

I also get very involved with the story when I watch movies. I am easily annoyed if I am really invested in a film. I also dislike it when the film ends and immediately whoever is with me asks if I liked it. I need time to absorb the film before talking about it.
