This was probably my 8th Time coming to this Museum. It does get more interesting every time i do go. I mean there was a new section of the plantetarian. The big Bang theory but that was pretty much disappointing. I think the best thing that i liked was how much we payed. We payed a dollar which i didn't really know i would usually pay $14 or $24. That was crazy, i thought we were going to get shutdown but we got our tickets and i was siked.

The only type of media which is a film that i can think about at this moment and compare it with the entire museum would have to be the movie starring Ben Stiller "Night at the Museum". I mean the way everything was set up in the movie was completely different from the real thing. Starting with the main entrance on how the T-Rex is located in the front doors but really its the Brontosaurus. I mean the movie does give a lot of the museum and make it look really cool. The Museum is a pretty cool place. Last year i think the new exhibition was the Darwin exhibition. This year it was the Butterfly and Extreme animals exhibition.

The coolest part of all that i found extremely interesting was the Marine life section with the Big Whale hanging from the ceiling. i saw from every type of sea animal from orcas to clown fish. Another was the bio science section From Daddy long legs(spider) to the REMAINING bones of the extinct animal DODO bird.
We (Jesse, sabrina, Lizabeth, and Daniel) were exploring everywhere from the 1st floor to the 4 floor it was cool.
FOr some strange reason Jesse and I really wanted to see Teddy roosevelt. Just because we saw him in the movie night at the museum and we thought how he reallly looked like but we couldnt see him because we couldnt find him and where we were goin to check him out was closed already. Bummer.!!
It was good though. Every visit to the Museum is a more interesting place to be in.

BLog 9: LIncoln CEnter of PErformin ArtS

The trip was i think the shortest trip I've ever had and especially when UN supervised lol but I've never actually gone inside it was pretty cool experience.
I was in a group with Jesse and Sabrina.
The commputers in the NypAL were very self explanitory about what they had such as DANCE,MUSIC, THEATRE, FILM, BIOGRAPHY EVERYTHING THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE PREFORMING ARTS MOVEMENT. The types of bools they had upstairs were movie books and movie encyclopedias. Downstairs they had tons of movies to offer. Different kinds of every genre, now and before movies. There were big spaces to just relax and lean back to read a book or do some research. There were like 20 copy machines. I the first floor was filled with nespaper,Cd's and many ohter entretainment sections. It was a very cool experience especially when i went to get my LIBRARY CARD.

A ViSion Of StUDeNtS ToDAy

This video on youtube.com , show the way the students in the class see the world but most importantly how they see their world in college. Some explain how only 18%of her teachers know her name because of how big the classes are full of students. Another girl explains that she will have to pay 2,000 dollar loan after graduation. The main argument for me that it isn't an argument. The comments that are given throughout the video clip are just facts and opinions on how the students feel or experience on how the education system works and how they pass their day's in college. In the examples that the students are giving to the viewers in my opinion are absolutely right. For example one writes how her neighbor pay for her tution and never comes. There are real situtions that are like that. So thats the whole real argument on how students reflect school issues with life issues.

Simone

S1M0NE starring Al Pacino,Catherine Keener, and Rachel Roberts as S1M0NE. In ImDb.com their summary of the movie says it all on what is truly about.It states that The career of a disillusioned producer, who is desperate for a hit, is endangered when his star walks off the film set. Forced to think fast, the producer decides to digitally create an actress "Simone" to sub for the star--the first totally believable synthetic actress. The "actress" becomes an overnight sensation, with a major singing career as well, and everyone thinks she's a real person. However, as Simone's fame skyrockets, he cannot bear to admit his fraud to himself or the world.

This movie was a real mind thriller because at the turning point of the movie Viktor (AL Pacino) is so attached to S1m0ne that he considers himself to be her. They are both one and at the academy awards that shes a recording and he forgets to congraulate himself from that monet he tries to stop her from being more famous because evryine forgets about him and starts getting attached to her. you get so intense and so into the movie because in my case i was just waiting for S1m0ne to come out or to turn over Viktor and spread out like a computer virus. but nothing happen.
Viktor deletes her and puts all her database in a trunk and dumps her in the ocean , cameras were there and saw what Viktor was doing and was accused of killing simone and was locked up in bookings for interogation. It kept on gettin worse and worse for him. At the end she was restored and it was kind of creepy there because the end is confusing.

This movie can be related to the Matrix but its the other way around . In the MAtrix its real people in the Virtual world thinking its real because everything is projected from the mind.
In S1M0NE, its a real world with a fake person who is seen only virtually and the whole world thinks that shes real.

SO far i have the idea for louies project to do a short film documentary on how the media works when filming a short series. I have a friend Tyagi Schwartz and he's a samll time producer and hes an actor whose been in some shows such as law and order and csi. at the moment i am trying to locate him because i used to work with him in a restaurant and he left to go work in a series in brooklyn like 3 months before I left. I lost his number and his email, luckily i have fiound him on google , found his email wrote to him but no sent backs , just last week i found and call his manager sCott and left him a message and nothing has comeback. For right now i have to find out where the shooting is that way i just go to him directly. ANd get his permission to film. If i get his permission or who ever is in charge, i would like to get to know everyone on the set from directors to maintence ask them questions on what is their job how they act with each other to make the show possible. ask the editor, show us what and how he does what he does. Talk to extras and actors to check out what they feel and how they can act around cameras especially when it comes to disturbing images in front of the crew filming. Bascially it will be a film interviewing the people part of the film crew to give eachother out and show off their talents to make this series really cool and interesting to watch.

Uncanny and the Shadow

The uncanny according to WIkipedia.org is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be familiar, yet foreign at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange. in my opinion it means it gives the ability to a person feel the feeling we all know as Deja Vu in a way. Meaning for example i had an experience one day going to the supermarket and for some reason i had the feeling i've been there before and i saw the same people and i went in to buy olives and for some reason i was expecting something to break because i realized that i had a similar dream to this

Abre los ojos: Open your eyes

"Open your eyes" is the original movie that gave " Vanilla Sky" the idea of it's remake. It stars Penelope Cruz , and Eduardo Noriega. It's a bout a man (Cesar) that nearly dies in a car accident but it does cause him to completely disform his face into a hideous monster. He is going through pain and suffrage, he was willing to pay all the money in the world but only to wear a mask. One night he gets drunk and at the end of the movie we realized that he had died since that part. He had enter a program that freezes him after he dies that way he can be waken up in the future years from then, in order to fix his face with all the new technology that will be in the future. Basically the theme of the movie is " A DREAM LAND". eVERy thing that happen after the drunken incident is all the mind of Cesar and he thinks everything that happens is real. The reason for that is because of the program deletes the ending of his last memory and restores it with new events that are happening after his face is fixed. The point is that he himself controls his surroundings, its all in his mind. The relationship he had with Sofia, the fight he had with his friend Antonio and him being in jail for killing Sofia for beliveing it was the other woman that cause his face to be destroyed; it was all a projection of Cesar's Mind because he was in his own DreamLand.
