A site created for the means of my Media Writing class I'm currently enrolled in. Here follows anything that comes to mind from my interests as well as my assignments.
Netflix a streaming system you can take with you anywhere you go whether it’s to use on your long commute to school, or use during breaks at work. It comes with many categories such as ones selected specifically for you, binge worthy, or genre descriptions and more. It’s available for phones, tablets, iPads, TV, and laptops. What’s one of its best features you might say, I’d say its ability to stream recent movies/shows that’s just come out. Now why is this billboard a good way on going about advertising? Notice how movies come out then couple weeks later its on Netflix and you probably end up asking yourself “has it really been that long since it came out?”. The answer is no, it hasn’t, Netflix for the over a year now have brought movies right when it comes off the theaters. So that ticket for that movie you spend $15.00 on can be seen for free for just $7.99 along with many more movies and content in couple weeks after its release.
NETFLIX IS A JOKE explanation: It was advertised to show that Netflix will running series of comedy shows featuring stand-ups, including Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Ellen Degeneres.
STRANGER THINGS explanation: So when the show came out the word spread fast about how good it was, so posters were everywhere, but what could draw peoples attention then just ad poster? The ads being upside down! People would get curious enough to search up why the advertisement is being put out improperly. As a result to that they’d see it’s simply because the shows based on an upside down world.
This is a movie based on what any person feels and would do to attend a concert of their dreams and stopping anything that gets in their way of doing so. It captures what rock n roll culture was seen as in the late 70’s and how the word’s “rock n roll” live up to its name, a true classic. The title of the movie being named after one of their hit songs says it all. If you’re into badass rebellious acts, rule breaking, action packed comedies then this one’s for you.
The way it goes is 4 teenage boys got tickets to
see their idols, and all time favorite rock n roll band KISS. One of the four
boys, specially the one who held on to the tickets been in a situation where
his mother discovers the
tickets and from there, you can tell those tickets were history. At that time a
lot of religion controversy was going on around KISS music being the devils
music, leaving parents disliking the members of the band known as the “Demon”,
“Starchild”, “Fox”, and, “Wiz”. That said hearing their tunes backwards at the
time was like hearing from the underworld, creating protesters surrounding the
concert area trying to shut it down. So the loss of tickets meant one thing to
these boys and one thing only meaning doing anything to get them back. That led
multiple missions involving fighting, running away, stripping, scamming, and
breaking couple laws as you can tell with much more. Whether it was drugging a
priest or stripping for money.
Now not only was this movie about attending a KISS concert, but also starred the actual band KISS. That right Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Crisis themselves a.k.a KISS was in this not any phony’s. The movie was actually filmed in the back stage of a concert. Having many scenes be as real as it could get from distracting security to damaging equipment to eventually living up their dream. Even cooler one of the producers was the demon himself; Gene Simmons. A lot of people gave this movie a bad rating and that’s only because this movie isn’t for everyone. The movie is the definition of the phrase, “Sex, Drugs, & Rock n Roll”. Which isn’t everyone’s preference off course but if you like movies based off legendary bands here you go. With a combination of the creativity held in youth and rock n roll tunes you can’t go wrong starting your weekend off with this or even if you’re looking for a Saturday night rental this is the way to go.
Part 2:
To get a good view of what this movie is about I used F.A.J.A. to make my way about describing it. F.A.J.A. being (F)act, (A)nalysis, (J)udgment, (A)ction, I didn’t do it in that exact order , but used F.A.J.A. to the best of my abilities to better organize the piece. I started this piece with explaining what you’re looking forward to with a taste and theme of the movie “Detroit Rock City”. The title was probably enough to give you a gist of the movie, but if it didn’t that’s why I later mentioned some of the events you will come across. So I came in with a slight analysis of how the movie goes into some back round of what the movie was like at the time it took place. This being a movie based of a rock band there are of course many action scenes I’ve mentioned, not all, but some. After I stated facts about the cast and how the movie was shot, I ended it all with what people thought of the movie and saying when it’s the best time to watch it. I did my best to give a general idea of what was going on in the movie, and I know some people see it’s about rock and might loose interest just like that, but its pretty rad overall and leaves you in a feel good mood, which I think is worth watching.
Vans is a well known skate/clothing
company that started up in 1966. Their logo says “off the wall” displaying that
they work with active individuals like ones who specially skateboard, because
as you should know, skating happens anywhere, not just the ground. They are
known more around the 70s skateboarding theme, and now surfing, and BMX(bikes)
as well.
Over the past years they have become more, and more acknowledged along with new store openings, the main reason for that being, their shoes. They have different types of shoes like slip ons, or all climate/weather shoes that are comfy, and come with good grip to hold you in place. The slips ons became trendy over the past two years so, if you came across checkered shoes it’s most likely by Vans.
It’s easy to come across or find if you want a pair of shoes or their apparel yourself. They have a website which allows you to customize shoes, backpacks, and more. You can order to your house or straight to one of their stores for pickup. They also host events like competitions where they bring sponsored skaters to their parks. Another event they’re famously known for is, “Vans Warped Tour” where bands such as, Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, All Time Low, and more come to perform.
With all they offer it’s worth taking a look at whether it’s online or in store. Find gifts, and skate supplies/parts all at your local Vans store.
