Good Entertainment

“Is the ability to be entertained constantly and no matter where you are really a good thing?” questions Craig Watkins, author of “Fast Entertainment and Multitasking In an Always-On World” (161). He introduces the argument that the advances in technology are revolutionizing today's society but hindering individuals. Tony Tulathimutte’s “Clash Rules Everything Around Me” demonstrates as mentioned in the title, an obsession with Clash of Clans; an online multiplayer strategy game that allows you…

Middle East to fight ISIS and other terrorist organization. Their main impulse- or their main excuse at least- is the couple attacks, such as the ones in Paris and nine-eleven fourteen years ago. The countries attacked have an immensely violent entertainment culture, yet they were the ones that helped their communities and demanded their government to…

Historical Period films, like any other movie, should have a good source of entertainment so the audience is not easily bored. However, one of the most truly important parts of a historical period film is the accuracy of what is being portrayed. Certain liberties can be taken, but take too many and the stories get dismantled and unrecognizable. Especially when one has a story about one of the most important rulers of the British monarchy. The Young Victoria is the type of film to do this. While…

I've spent the past two and a half years making a film - probably a good 95% of my non-sleeping life during that time - and sometimes it seems it all comes down to these few weeks of release in theaters. Let me tell you, it's harrowing. The movie is doing incredibly all over the world - up nearly fifty percent over the first film in most territories, and a breakout hit in countries where it didn't do as well the first time around (hi, Korea!) I'm exceptionally proud of how well it's doing in the…

Entertainment has always developed from either images, sounds, or both. People are entertained when they hear or see a topic they find interesting. Furthermore, everyone wants to be absorbed by an activity. For example, Ancient Greece was years before our time, but people wrote tragic stories that were soon acted out because it was fascinating for everyone. Shakespeare's play, Hamlet is a classic tragedy that entices people by its distinctive and riveting plot, and its historical and cultural…

the same people feeding us fake stories meant to conjure up certain emotions. We no longer count on the truth if we are entertained. Yet, when we encounter a movie that shows us bluntly the true effects of what is in store, we laugh and call it entertainment. That is exactly what many people did when the film Network was released in 1976. The film uses satire to expose the corrupt greed that arises from the conglomeration…

Film is used for a multitude of reasons not limited to entertainment purposes only and its contribution to social standard reform is evident in its work. Movies have been used to convey what can’t be easily spoken but expressed visually, artistically, and symbolically. Throughout every country, culture, and community, films have been used to express both ideas beyond the confines of reality and matters beneath the boundaries of morality. Films like Perez and Rashomon, setting aside their…

Funniest Game of the Year, Kudos… I think that we can all agree that, for a long time now, the word “horror” has been losing its meaning throughout all kinds of media and entertainment, mostly because of the incredibly infamous “jumpscares” and lack of creativity when it comes to build up tension with the player/viewer. So, when I saw Albino Lullaby (a game that brags about its inventive methods of horror, and how it promises to be a horror game without jumpscares nor gore) I was pretty excited,…

Most times, we discuss issues on politics, entertainment industry, foreign news and sometimes play music while having our hands on the jobs. In other words, we always involve recreational activities into the works on site to save us any monotony and boredom that may come with the job. Our best shots…

Since the start of time, people have entertained the world through different activities. The professional athletes have entertained us with their athletic prowess. Actors portray characters on a big screen to make us laugh and cry. Musicians produce good music that brightens the day. Without any entertainers the world would be dull and uninteresting. These people are paid very well. Some, agree talented entertainers should have a salary larger than the average person because they work harder…
