Liam Meldung, Week 4 - What to Watch?

        There are so many different tv shows and movies to watch these days, and it’s so hard to choose! When I sit down with my family, when we decide to watch a movie together, we always end up taking half an hour or longer to find the right movie. It isn’t just that though, I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to find a show to watch on my own as well. It takes up so much time! 

        When my family and I sit to choose a movie we always have to match everyone’s preferences. My dad wants something less childish, my younger sister can’t watch very violent movies, my mom doesn’t want too science fiction, and my other sister doesn’t help at all to choose. It’s always this big conversation between the whole family, and when we choose one, and start it, they all end up falling asleep anyway. Even though it generally is my family’s fault, the vast selection of movies, tv shows, and tv programs in general doesn’t help either. There is so much to choose from, and because of that we have to take so much longer to find something that works for all of us.


        Another problem I face when it comes to the unimaginable amount of content we have access to, is that when I finish a show or movie, I always spend the next day or two scrolling through Netflix or Disney+ trying to find something. There is just so much to see, but for some reason it’s so hard to decide what to watch next. 


        Does anyone else feel like this sometimes? If you do, how do you find something to watch? Also, can you respond with a recommendation of a show for me to watch next?

    I completely relate to this and understand your situation. I always go on Netflix and try to find something to watch and never can decide. I narrow it down by picking what genre we want to watch which like you said is hard to do.

    All the time, I find we sometimes spend more time finding a show to watch than actually watching one! It’s hard to find something that everyone loves to watch as well. Also, watch Seinfeld.

    I can understand where you're coming from. Honestly though, I feel like the huge amounts of movies and shows available mean that you're going to get a better experience. In exchange for your time when searching for the right movie or show, you're getting more entertainment, so it's worth it for me.

    I know exactly how you feel. I feel like there is so much to watch on TV but at the same time there is like nothing. I spend so much time looking for a new show to watch that by the time I find something I'm ready to do something else. I don't really have a way to find something to watch I just scroll through shows seeing what looks interesting. I really like American Horror Story, the show is really good and there are so many seasons it will keep you entertained for a long time.

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...
