Sex movies!!

Using Sex to sell movies!!!
This month I have gone to the movies twice and notice that in both open scenes, sex or sexual content was present. It seems that all the movies today have some kind of sex scene in them. American Gangster and We own the night both had sex present in there movies. I don't believe they need to have sex in the movies to make it interesting. The movie would have had the same effect on me with out all the provocative scenes. I think the directors use sex to try to capture the viewers attention. As if sex will keep us interested in the movie, to me the movie would be the same with or without these sex scenes. Sex is movies is what it is and I don't think that it will change anytime soon, but I don't think it is necessary to have just to keep it interesting, the movies should be with or without it.

Glitz and Glamour

Earlier this week I was at the bookstore looking at magazines, I started to notice more of a trend, one I already knew about but didn't give much thought to. As I was flipped through these magazines I noticed that most of the ads where all about how to be pleasing to the eye. With your appearances the right clothes makeup hair the works. They make it seem like women cant be amazing without having all these great qualities. Like being natural or just average isn't enough anymore with must go far and beyond to be of worth. Not that I don't enjoy dressing nice or wearing fun things but I should not have to do these things just to get notice. I feel like today society has put such great emphasis on how we look, like there is some kind of flaw just being who you are. To much glitz and glamour.

Music Video

The think that the usage of sex in music video has got out of control!! These artists are using sex in a very inappropriate way, Women and men should not be used in that way just to gain viewers for there videos. I honestly hate sometimes watching MTV or similar shows I personally don't like watching women shaking there butt or showing their chest. Not because that it offends me but because I just don't like to see it. I wish that these artist could find better ways of voicing there artistic ability without exploiting women. I do feel like over time music video have got alittle better or maybe I think that just cause I dont really watch videos but what I have seen it looks to be getting better slowly.
