to join in the fun. Fallon will also regularly involve his guests in games, usually related to their talents. These games include such things as acting out skits written by children, performing impressions with randomly chosen musical selections, and attempting to deceive one another in guessing games about personal anecdotes. By comparison, Kimmel's approach to his guest segment often includes scripting or pre-recorded skits, usually with an attempt to look like normal conversation. In a video clip entitled "Deleted Scene from "Batman v Superman” Starring Jimmy Kimmel", posted to commemorate the release of the movie Batman v. Superman, Kimmel interviewed actor Ben Affleck (who plays Batman in the film). As the two were talking, they pretended to discuss a segment of the movie where Kimmel was involved as an actor. Affleck hesitantly shares that this extra scene was cut from the final theater version due to run time, but states that he was able to bring a copy of the video clip to show the audience. While the scenario is obviously fabricated, it provides a humorous look at a scene that did play out in the real movie. One mark of a good host is a distinguishable style of humor; both Fallon and Kimmel have achieved this in their respective shows. Fallon's approach may appeal to a more basic level, the aforementioned skits written by children a prime example. Another recurring segment has Fallon and his guest speak loudly and forcefully while eating a meal, effectively spitting…

What started as a short story written for a Harvard writing class, life mirrored art ever so slightly for Matt Damon when he wrote Good Will Hunting—earning an A for his work on the assignment and an Oscar for his work on the screenplay for the film. The two childhood friends from the south side of Boston, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, wrote a script together that some might say is the greatest piece of writing ever done for a film. The two of them sold the script and turned it into a movie that…

commonly used idiom “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. In order to impress onlookers and make a fool out of a local “townie” character of clearly inferior intelligence, a man that has been costumed to fit the character of “Ivy League graduate student” to a tee is begins to reference obscure academic literature in the local Harvard bar that both characters are patrons of. When the graduate student picks an intellectual argument with the uneducated townie, the writers bring in the townie’s friend…

The Oscar winning film, Good Will Hunting, released in 1997, follows the journey a 20 year old genius boy, Will, who suffered abuse growing up. According to Stephan Labossiere, “Many times we are our worst enemy. If we could learn to conquer ourselves, then we will have a much easier time overcoming the obstacles that are in front of us.” This saying is evident in the life of Will, as his life is observed to begin changing after he finds guidance from the people around him. The abuse Will…

1 - All respect goes to Reza Aslan and his patience on this very intense topic. I completely agree with him, and that you shouldn't blame a single religion for being violent, when the violent part depends on the person. A religion can't support violence, only people do that. There are always those people who do bad stuff, and those who are not a part of that group but just cause they believe in the same religion, doesn't mean they are to be blamed for the same reason. 2 - The letter to Ben…
