6:19 pm	"A United Front" & "A 9/11 Movie: Is It Too Soon?" The "A United Front" article was right and wrong in more than a few ways. I definitely don't think that young children should view this film. This could scar the psyches of younger viewers and could change their opinions of our government. It should be distibuted, but only in certain areas (ex: not in NYC or in Washington D.C.) I agree with Rush Limbaugh: I would probably view the movie in "sheer anger bordering on hatred" also. I completely disagree with Dennis Prager's comments: It's NOT every American's duty to view the film. They have the right to see the movie or not. On "A 9/11 Movie: Is It Too Soon?": I think that it IS too early to make a movie like this. I mean, how long did it take after Pearl Harbor to make a movie based on those event? Maybe they should have made this movie another 10 or 15 years down the road. That way, it could sort of ease the pain of families who had a loved one die in those attacks (the anguish and sorrow wouldn't be as bad.) (4 Comments |Comment on this)

5:06 pm	Live from Baghdad: Post-Viewing Reflection 1A. I think that news media definitely gets a bad rap from the public because they are usually percieved as annoying. They are looked at in a negative way. Events with celebrities, and possibly the war in Iraq have alleviated this problem. 1B. I think the film's portrayal of news producers and reporters is favorable because it shows what reporters are really like when it comes to trying to report news in the middle of a war. They were deciding to risk their lives in order to bring the public the latest news. 2A. Yes and no. I would have interviewed him, but I wouldn't have, knowing if he would be held hostage for his actions later. 2B. I don't know. It depends on how passionate I would be about the subject. 2C.To report events as they occur, not to get involved. Not reporting opinions, reporting facts. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:32 am	Online chatting sites- Should people be held accountable for their actions? Websites such as myspace, facebook, even this website, Livejournal, can be ways to help people voice their opinions and share things about their personal lives. You can even post pictures of yourself doing God knows what. Still, the public doesn't realize what they are risking when they go online and interact with each other. You can pretty much change your life by having an online account. I think that people that want to go online and chat with other people should watch what they say and watch what they post. This is because you can be looked at by anybody in this country (or outside of it) and be criticized for your lifestyle or your personal interests. Take for example the Guinn kid who said that he is a homo. Now he may be harrased for the rest of his life. I've never been a big fan of sites like Myspace because why chat online with other people when you can just call them on the phone and schmooz for a while? But if you want to risk everything just to talk, be my guest. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:40 am	Article This article talks about how the media portrays how people are supposed to look in order to be beautiful. The media usually makes blondes look as if they are the only kind of people who are appealing to the public. The article also refers to the movie KING KONG and how Kong falls in love with another blonde (Naomi Watts). I feel that this is stereotyping in a few ways, but it's not that serious. Beauty is, honestly, a person with a positve attitude towards the world that they live in. Yes, they may or may not look good on the outside. But it doesn't really matter what's on the outside. It's what's in the inside that counts. (4 Comments |Comment on this)
