Devil Wears Prada Review

The first ten minutes of this movie gives away the plot of the rest of the movie: Chick Flick. (No offense Mrs. Williams, I know you love this movie.) In the beginning of this movie, you see several beautiful girls along with an average girl getting ready for what seems like a big day. You automatically think that something good is going to happen to the average girl. As the day goes on, you find that she is going to interview for a big fashion firm, but clearly has no taste in fashion. Fashion...... great. As she is interviewed by the big scary boss who obviously has no care for others feelings, she seems to get rejected. But of course, the fact that she is the average girl makes her rebellious and she stands up to her interviewer, and of course she gets the job. Although I don't think Ann Hathaway and Meryl Streep are bad actresses, judging from the beginning of this movie, they can do better.

Movie That I am Going to Review and Stuff...

Transformers 2 is the movie I am going to be reviewing. I honestly choose it because it is one of my favorite movies, but I also understand the good and bad parts of it. The movie is pretty easy to understand. Basically, Megatron (the bad guy) is trying to harvest the Earth's Sun for Energy. Sam, the human hero, and the "Autobots" (the other good guys) have to stop him. They need to find some sort of key before Megatron does in order to stop him. Oh, and Megan Fox is in it too. Awesome.

Comments on Jayrons Portfolio

Jayron-

You have a really nice website. Your introduction is really interesting and well put together. There are a few things you should look out for though. First, where is your Culture, Society, and Me essay and paper? Also try to include more pictures on your in class writings page, I know it's tough to find some for that, but be creative. You should also put a short description of your Blogs, essay and in class writings to help explain what they are to your audience, because if I wasn't in this class, I wouldn't really understand why you put those on the website. Other than those suggestions, your website is really good.

My Advertisement

My ad consists Santa Clause laying back in a chair drinking a beer with some sort of liquor. He is looking at papers and smiling and looks like he is having a good time. This is an ad for White Rock Alcohol.

I think that the argument is that even Santa Clause, a major international and religious figure, can enjoy White Rock Alcohol.

There are many sub texts and meanings to this ad I think. One being the fact that Santa is a Major icon. That fact being said, people could think that it is better to have that product.

Also, I think that this ad could be focused toward a younger audience too. The use of Santa in this ad could make kids want to use that product when they are old enough too, because they look up to Santa and if he does it, it's OK.

A third meaning to it could be that he looks like he is having a good time. In this ad Santa looks like he is having a very good and stress free time. This could make people think that when they drink White Rock, they will be stress free and have a good time.

Reading for 10/23

I decided to Blog about the reading for Friday 10/23. It was about gender roles in advertising and the use of sex appeal. I for one do not agree with the use of sex appeal and gender roles in adverstising. I think it is wrong for advertisers to put those crazy ideas into peoples heads. I think that it might take a little more than just cologne to get Victoria Beckham, like maybe money. I believe that there needs to be another way of advertising these intimate things, but unfortunately, sex appeal works.
