Xxx the Video Tape Scandal! xxX Therapist Dan: “Did you have any comrades other than Runt?” Me: “In fact, I did. Nonetheless, he was four years older than me.” Therapist Dan: “Tell me about him.” Me: “Well, one summer Sunday we got into some mischief.” Therapist Dan: “What kind of mischief?” I froze as I overheard my parents pull up to the driveway. “Oh my God, My parents are home!” I yelled. “Jeremy, my parents just got home! We need to get that tape out of the VCR!” I shrieked with angst. Before we had a moment to remove the tape, my parents ambled inside with groceries. Jeremy only had enough time to switch off the T.V. and stop the tape! The tape remained inside the VCR! My 14-year-old next-door neighbor, Jeremy Panther, befriended me as soon as we moved into our meth lab home. We hung out inside the residence when my folks left (No, he didn’t stroke my special place, okay). …show more content…
So Jeremy asked if there were any cool movies to view. As he sifted amidst loose VHS tapes underneath the family room T.V. he discovered something rather stunning! It was an 80’s aerobics video cassette tape! He said with enthusiasm, “Hey, this looks cool. Let’s watch it!” When he placed it inside the VCR, our eyes bugged out at a scene of a young woman with brunette frizzy big 80’s hair gagging on a huge, fat, vein embossed and wet slimy cock! At that age, I thought it looked cool… like the most disgusting and interesting cool movie ever. But, after a few more uncomfortable scenes it looked boring and gross to me. Jeremy didn’t concur and was completely amazed by it. I didn’t get
Bruce and I were becoming better friends as each day passed, and I know this experience is what made our friendship what it is today. After this trip, we continue to be duck hunting buddies. Hunt after hunt, he would call the ducks into our decoys.
This is an ironic and unfortunate example of a film that would have really been considered a lot better than it is if it were not for the book upon which it is based. It is clear that the film is strong and that it is well made, but when compared to Shelley's novel, it's really a pretty sad mess. The film by itself is more than able to captivate and impress, but to someone who knows the original story, it is a weak attempt to bring the story of Frankenstein and his monster to the big screen.
Suspense embodied this film and luckily during the late 1960's Hollywood was at a time where filmmakers were able to push the limits. Many religious groups were outraged with the movie but if it weren't for the work of Polanski in Rosemary's Baby, classic horror films, such as The Exorcist, and other suspense films would cease to exist.
On August 12th, 2004 New Jersey Governor James McGreevey became this nation's first openly gay state governor. Several moments after he stated, "I am a gay American", he succumbed to intense political and public pressure by announcing his resignation from New Jersey's most powerful position. This announcement and resignation came after a week of intense allegations that McGreevey sexually harassed a male colleague whom he had appointed. While American politics are not foreign to sexual scandal, the political destruction and individual defeat which McGreevey currently faces is poignantly unique. Throughout his career, McGreevey has been formally investigated for unethical political practices on at least 4 occasions. One of the current investigations includes allegations of fraudulent campaign finance practices and nepotism within upper end political appointments. Despite the severity of these allegations, it was the charge of sexual assault from a male employee that forced his resignation and retirement from politics. In order to understand the severity of the sexual harassment allegations against McGreevey, it is necessary to look at the situation through the eyes of Rubin and Foucault. Not only did McGreevey's actions reflect the social sexual hierarchy described by Rubin, but through his secrecy and discretion McGreevey disrupted the powerful discourse of his position with political and public realms.
The story starts out with Kevins birthday party, at his birthday party kevin receives a camera from his family. A few days later Kevin learns that the camera doesn't work quite right. At first whenever he took a picture it came out as the same thing over and over. It was a big black dog running in front of a white picket fence. Then Kevin and his father have a discussion on wether or not to keep the camera, Kevin decides to keep it. The next day Kevin brings the camera into Pop Merrill the man who owns the shop where the camera was bought. Pop tells Kevin to bring the camera back in the morning and he will take a look at it. So Kevin goes home and has an idea he tries three other brands of film to see if that changed anything. He took five pictures a piece with each film, they all came out as the dog picture.
The great director clouded his intent and motives by reportedly stating that the entire film was nothing more than one huge joke. No one laughed. Instead they cringed in their seats, waiting for the next assault on their senses. The violence and bloodletting of PSYCHO may look tame to those who have grown up on Jason and Freddy Krueger, but no one had ever seen anything like it in 1960.
However times have changed. In present times our society is more relaxed and is prone to these raunchy movies. We as movie viewers are more ready for these vulgar movies and know that each movie in this category tries to be more vulgar and frank than its predecessor merely to gain attention and snag more viewers. One problem with these movies being so frank and vulgar in present times is that they fail to mention that all of this casual sex could lead to someone getting a STD or aids.
Days went by, working in the small, little shop. Jeremy started figuring out everything and what goes on. One day, after working as hard as a dog, Eli told Jeremy that he could leave a few hours early because he noticed Jeremy was exhausted. Eli asked Jeremy that before he got on his horse to go back home, he had to clean up the materials he was using. Jeremy then ran towards his work station to clean up the mess he had made. After ten minutes of gathering the cotton he made a mess with, Jeremy had to put away the spikes that were used to separate the cotton from the seeds.
Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac (2013) sparked controversy even before its stateside release during a matinee screening of Disney’s Frozen (Buck/Lee, 2013) in Tampa, Florida. The usual routine began as the projectionist prepared to screen the film: the lights of the cinema began to dim, the projection screen turned black, and the usual filler of cartoons and trailers started rolling. And then something unusual happened. According to one unsuspecting grandmother, “They put in the filler, it looked like Steamboat Willie, the old Mickey Mouse cartoon, and then all of a sudden it goes into this other scene” (Guardian, “Nymphomaniac Trailer”). This “other scene” was the red-band teaser for Nymphomaniac, described by Julie Miller of Vanity Fair as “the most graphic movie preview of all time—thanks in part to visuals of former child star Shia LaBeouf nude and engaged in multiple sexual activities” (Vanity Fair, “Explicit Sex Film”). Miller’s description of the trailer, however, is mostly incorrect. Very little do we see of LaBeouf’s character in the red-band trailer, neither “nude” nor engaged in the act of sex. Instead we catch various clips of Young Joe, performed by Stacy Martin, who is at one point seen fully nude and whose vagina is superimposed against the film’s title (stylized as NYMPH()MANIAC) at the start of the teaser. Despite his intentions in line with the Puzzy Power movement, von Trier’s male gaze complicates his presentation of female sexuality in Nymphomaniac. The logic behind the metanarrative of the film suggests that Joe’s (Charlotte Gainsbourg) salvation is ultimately afforded by male characters, most explicitly through Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), Jerôme (Shia LaBeouf), and “K” (Jamie Bell). Although Nymphomaniac ask...
Media surveillance has been going on since the beginning of communication with people. Media has transformed from print, such as newspapers and books, to telephone calls and radio broadcasts to television and finally to the internet via email, blogs, and social media. Systems have been developed over time to search these sources for particular information that is determined by the industry using the software. The industry uses examined in this paper will include the uses by the healthcare industry, the corporate industry, and the government. (Sasaki, 2009)
Over the past few decades, there has been an abundance of people faced with being a victim of blackmail or a threat that will ruin their reputation. If someone personally hasn’t dealt with this, they at least know someone that has experienced the harassment of a former lover through the sharing and exposure of inappropriate videos and images. These people are at fault to Revenge Pornography, also known as the Relationship Privacy Act. Revenge Pornography is the uploading, and or distribution of sexually explicit content of an individual without their permission or consent.
It was unconventionally rewarding and an interesting comedy. Taking the film noir’s themes, Shane Black created a world with weird turns and twists of its own. The main protagonist did not have to be the selfless and arrogant detective. Sexuality was well respected, in a comedic way you can say, and even praised. It is a society with many vices, but that some way or another the characters find a way out of it. The woman presented in the film, Harmony, portrayed femme fatale characteristics, however, she was not tied down to any gender role she did not want to be part of. At the end, the purpose of the film is not only to ridicule, but to exhibit a new world adapted to different
The late 1920s was a turbulent time of unknowns for the motion picture business due to the rapidly approaching advent of sound, which threw a wrench into a well-oiled machine that had been making silent films exclusively for nearly two decades. Studios, whether they liked it or not, were being forced to confront these new technological challenges and expectations head-on. As a result of the two versions that were ultimately created, Blackmail has the unique distinction of being both Hitchcock's last silent film as well as his first talkie.
This movie evoke many feelings in me. The first feelings that this movie evoked in me was disgust and horror. When I realized what those men were doing to that little girl, I was disgusted and horrified. As the daughter of a rape victim and a
Most reviewers overall enjoyed the movie very much. Christopher Null gave the movie four out of five stars and said it was “perfection and a good memorable film”. Steven Rhodes also says it is a good film “It's the sort of film that will leave you exhausted but glad you came.” (http://www.imdb.com/Reviews/210/21041) However from a woman’s point of view the film was barbaric and violent, “it's socially irresponsible and repellent in its graphic depictions of extreme violence and brutality,” says Susan Granger. (http://www.speakers-podium.com/susangranger.) I, however, even though I am a female I enjoyed the film very much. It has become one of my favorite movies because I feel like I can relate to the topic very much because I wish I was just able to let go and do what I really want to do. Everyone has his or her own opinion of things so you should see the movie and see how you react to it.
