Adi Chaham week 5- Annoying Movie Habits


We all have that one thing that bothers us when we watch movies, whether it's people talking during a movie, people making “aww” or “oh no” or “omg” sounds during a movie, people on their phones during a movie, people eating popcorn during a movie with their mouth open or watching movies in different languages. Looking at this list of examples of things that get people bothered, I feel that for most, the one that bothers them the least is watching movies in different languages. I, on the other hand, am incapable of watching movies in different languages.

When I say “watching movies in different languages”, I am talking about when you are watching a movie in another language, and because you don’t understand, you change the language from original to English/the language you want it to be. Changing the language makes the voices not match up with the movement of the lips, which is something that bothers me very much.  

A few days ago, I was scrolling through the top ten movies on netflix, and as I was looking for a movie to watch that night, I found a movie that interested me but was in a different language.  After seeing that it was in a different language, watching that movie was no longer an option. 

The movie was called Isi & Ossi and it was in German. It was about a girl whose’ billionaire parents didn’t want her to go to culinary school rather wanted her to go to college. So the girl, Isi, decided to leave her home and get a fake boyfriend so that her parents would let her go to her culinary school. In return, the poor boy, who was her fake boyfriend, wanted 25,000 euros. Pretty interesting movie right? 

At first glance, I knew that even though the movie sounds very interesting, I was not gonna watch it because its original language is not English and therefore, I wouldn’t enjoy the movie.  

Now, of course, there is a simple solution to this… just leave the movie in its original language but put on subtitles in the language you speak.  But, if I wanted to read, I wouldn't watch a movie, I would read a book. 

However, I ultimately decided I would give it a chance. 

It took me four days to finish this not even two-hour movie and I have concluded that watching movies in different languages is just not my cup of tea.


What bothers you when watching movies? Do you have any good movie recommendations from Netflix?

    When I watch movies, it annoys me when the acting is bad and the dialogue is cliche. For movie recommendations, I don't have any specific recommendations.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
