Financial Survival Radio Show – The Network You Need in the New Economy Protest Barrick : Index 6 Stupid Characters That Hollywood Now Puts In Every Movie Writing realistic and compelling characters is, like, really hard to do -- and it only becomes more difficult when you're trying to write realistic characters in a world of rampaging mutant scientists and dinosaur skirmishes. Since solid (even marginal) character development has lately taken a backseat to finding excuses for the heroes to get tossed from one action setpiece to the next, we've started to see the same inexplicable character traits spring up in our favorite blockbusters over and over again, like big dumb weeds. Don't believe me? Then how come ... #6. Paramount Pictures There's a scene in the record-breaking Jurassic World in which the two kids escape their gigantic clowny hamster ball in order to be thrillingly chased by a genetically-bastardized monster cartoon. Universal Studios"LOL! After narrowly escaping a nightmarish death by mere inches, the brothers crawl out of the water while sharing a hearty chuckle, like a couple of rough-and-tumble Indiana Joneses. #5. #4.

GlobalResearch.ca - Centre for Research on Globalization IPCO - Home - Flicker: Your Brain on Movies by Jeffrey Zacks – how Hollywood has changed your mind These days, human beings are nowhere more at home than in front of a screen. I refer you to Gogglebox, the Channel 4 series in which families and friends are filmed as they watch TV. Warm and secure, they exhibit all the behaviours you would expect of a species in its natural habitat: feeding, laughing, crying and fighting. A few weeks ago we saw viewers’ reactions to a scene from Casino Royale. None of this would come as a surprise to Jeff Zacks. What about the emotional impact of moving images? There is a lot of neuroscience and even more experimental psychology in Flicker, but thankfully Zacks is an academic who remembers how to communicate with ordinary people. Second, and perhaps more surprisingly, Zacks argues that there need be no further controversy about whether violence on TV, in games, or on film makes those exposed to it more aggressive: it does.
The Power Principle A gripping, deeply informative account of the plunder, hypocrisy, and mass violence of plutocracy and empire; insightful, historically grounded and highly relevant to the events of today. This documentary is about the foreign policy of the United States. It demonstrates the importance of the political economy, the Mafia principle, propaganda, ideology, violence and force. It documents and explains how the policy is based on the interest of major corporations and a tiny elite to increase profits and the United States governments own interests in maintaining and expanding it's imperialistic influence. Inside the United States this has been made possible with a propaganda of fear for the horrible enemies like the Soviet Union, Communists and so on and a love for "free markets", "democracy", "freedom" and so on. Externally (and increasingly internally) this has caused massive poverty and suffering, genocide, war, coups, crushed unions and popular movements and environmental destruction.
