 * In "entry.ii" I discuss the pathetic subjects that are exploited in peep culture. Though it is a harsh analysis, I am not completely frustrated with this documentary. This movie has done a great job at exposing the kind of people that love watching themselves and their neighbours. Moreover, peep culture is like watching a room full of screaming and crying five year olds. Though it is very annoying and angering to know they exist, I am now informed that parenting can go bad and that I should be very careful if I have a child. Peep culture has the same purpose. I am informed that these people exist and now I will refrain from associating with any of it for my dignity's sake.

//ENTRY.i //Constant exposure to media has in effect rendered me an expert on many topics such as film. With my phone in one hand and my other hand on the keyboard, not only is my exposure to media so lengthy but my future career revolves around a form of media.. Cinema.

Usually, my first encounter with media on a school day would be the combination of music playing through my phone and advertisments on billboards and streetcars. After several ads on the round edge inside the subway, i take a seat in my class and enjoy more media. However, this media is different. This form of media is text. Through the power of writing, a sumerian invention, I LEARN. How else would I have known that writing was a sumerian invention? MEDIA! _

// ENTRY.ii Peep Culture is about people who find themselves in a pathetic downward spiral. It's about the kinds of people who believe they deserve recognition for being a fat disgusting human being and then getting rid of the fat in the most lazy and expensive way possible. It's not about the peope who do great things but about the people who need recognition to feel real. I think about the person who started the documentry in the first place and what was going through his mind at the time. "Let's take the lowest form of the human species and make a movie about them and their struggles.// ", that's what i think he was thinking anyway. //_//

// ENTRY.iii //Not only have I come to find that the majority of people are drooling clueless apes, but I have been speculating this for quite some time. The main reason pop culture has become a cluster cuss of dumb repetitive music and trashy reality shows is because literature is not respected anymore. A pre pubescent boy can whine about some 8 year old girl he loves and people will call it music. Anyone without a sense of diginity or pride can become a celebrity. A fitting example of such people include Lady Gaga and the entire cast of Jersey Shore, a reality show on MTV. Ultimately, pop culture is the death knell of actual culture. Brace yourselves for more people.

//ENTRY.iv //Celebrities are not an interest of mine, but I do understand why it is such a large interest among North Americans. Constant exposure to media has desensitized the mass. In other words, media has become the majorities' reality. So after a long day in the office, people can escape into the glamour and drama. The truth is that without fans and the celeb craze, the drama and glamour wouldn't be so dramatic and glamorous. It has come to a point where a person living out their dreams immediately gets condemned by the constant media coverage (i.e. // paparazzi). // _ // ENTRY.v // One piece of news that has me investigating every inch of it is Terrence Malicks new project. Malick, without a doubt among the greatest directors to ever live, is shooting another film. His last film, Tree of Life, was one of the greatest cinematic achievments of all time. After five sensational films, buzz about his next movie has generated a special kind of excitement in me. It's called"The Burial". The film has an all-star cast including Ben Affleck, Christian Bale and Rachel McAdams. Even though the cast if fantastic, I don't care for it since actors have become nothing but props for me. If I want to see acting, I'll enjoy a play. It is the exentsive details about Malick's method of filming that intrugues me. What camera is he using? What location is he filming in? What are the plot details? So far I have learnt that it is a sad love story. But like all of Malick's films, the simple plot is for the 'majority" (refer to entry #3) and the dynamic and complex editing, camera movement and hidden character development is for the intelligent audience who love the deep meaning behind his films. __
