Cyberpunk

1. There were quite a few futuristic things I noticed on the clip. For example I saw flying ships that didn't look like anything we have today and it was flying to a building that reminded me of the scenery of Death Star from Star Wars. There was also some scanner thing Deckard had to scan Rachel's eye to see if she was a replicant. That was pretty futuristic I think.



2. The scene created a mood that made me feel I was in a different age, an age that is far further on time where everything is advanced and technology is incredible. The film maker played the scene to make it sort of dark and gloomy, not really a happy and joyful scenery yet puts in futuristic elements to get the feeling you get watching the scene.






3. I like how the dude in the novel works for people to encode secrets for them on the computer. I also think its interesting how he gets in trouble with the wrong people and he is offered a cure but for a price. That's pretty interesting for me.






4. His name is Kano and he is from the Mortal Kombat series. Kano is part human and part robot. He is able to shoot lasers from one of his eyes and is a good martial artist. He rises beyond the level of mere brutality and aggression by also being sly and cunning. Kano is the leader of an international crime gang called the Black Dragon. His friends are the people on his side which is all evil. His enemies would be the good guys such as Liu Kang and Sonya Blade. His home would probably be the HQ of the Black Dragon. His hobbies would be being ruthless and fighting. His favourite food is unknown. His music is unknown as well.

Famous People in Advertising

A. i) I like the Pierce Brosnan advertisement on the Omega watch the most. I like it the most because it shows that its being advertised with the 007 sign and I'm a big fan of James Bond. I would be quite happy if I had a watch like that.


ii) I think the Nancy Lopez advertisement was the worst one there. I didn't like it because it looked so boring and by the first glance I wasn't interested and I would just flip the page if I had the magazine.


B. I think celebrities do deserve this kind of money from their endorsements. That's because they would rake in tons of money for their product all because they have a celebrity with a big name. More people would buy a product if somebody they know who is really famous endorses it. I would probably do the same thing.


C. i) Celebrities influence what some people buy. I think that commercials and magazines really get people into the product they are selling and the celebrities big names really help sell the product because people want to be just like them.

ii) I think there is a moderate amount of celebrities that endorse products. It looks like there is a good amount of them advertising products, not too little, not too much.


iii) I don't think that Michael Phelps should have been removed from endorsing Kellogg's. I think that it was a big mistake on his half and that he should have been forgiven and everything should be back to normal. I think that he was really stressed with all the training he had in all his years of swimming in the Olympics that he just wanted to chill and be a kid for once. That's what I think about Michael Phelps and how Kellogg's dropped him.
D. i)











ii)




iii) I chose Air Jordan because it was done by the man himself, Michael Jordan. I like the Air Jordan brand because it looks stylish and its a great basketball shoe. Michael Jordan is the best at basketball in all of time so I would definitely buy a shoe that he endorses.

Top 10 Day

A) My favourite hero in this 50 heroes and villains list would be Zorro. He is my favourite hero because he is a very brave and adventurous character and he wears a mask to conceal his identity. He also gets a beautiful girl in the first movie which is pretty sweet. My favourite villain in this list would be the Terminator. He is my favourite villain because he is a relentless machine that won't stop till it has accomplished what is was sent for. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Terminator and its pretty cool because he does look like a killer.

B) The scientist that I like the best would probably be Sir Isaac Newton. He is my favourite scientist in this list because he wrote the Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica in 1687 and is considered to be the greatest scientific book ever written. Newton also made known the the three laws of motion: 1.A body continues in a state of rest, or motion with a constant velocity, unless compelled to change by an unbalanced force. 2. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon it and inversely proportional to its mass. 3. For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

C)My favourite male actor would be Adam Sandler. He is my favourite actor because he is pretty hilarious. He is also a well-paid triple threat: he writes, he produces, and he plays the class clown pretty well. Thats why I think Adam Sandler is my favourite male actor.
My favourite female actress would be Angelina Jolie. She is my favourite actress because he has been in some great movies such as Tomb Raider and Wanted. She is incredibly beautiful and I think that Brad Pitt is a lucky man haha. But still she is a pretty good actress.

D) My least favourite athlete on this list would be Alex Rodriguez, aka. A-Fraud. He used to be one of my favourite baseball players because he was an all around player, good defense, and is closing in on Barry Bonds' home run record. But when I found out about him using performance enhancing drugs, I totally flipped and I was pissed because you can now question if he's really that good. Alex Rodriguez is a great player but I think that this incident with him and the steroids is going to totally ruin his career, if not he might lose it.

Face In Hole


Hello. This is my third post on my blog. I used the website http://www.faceinhole.com/us/ to help me do this. I made a lot of other pictures I made with this website and I enjoy and have fun doing this. The reason why I chose this picture is because I am a big fan of Bob Marley and I think he is an incredible musician. I think the picture didn't turn out too bad even though it was the first one that I edited but I still think its pretty good. I admire Bob Marley and its really sad that he died too soon but many people still listen to his music today. Anyways I had a whole lot of fun doing this and I hope we do another project like this again!

Valentines Day Blog

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.

This is the quote that I selected for a Valentines Day quote. I think its a really great quote because its really deep and sensitive for a day like Valentines Day. How it says tears isn't a mark of weakness but of power made feel different on the act of crying. It means when you cry, you usually cry on something thats really important to you like if someone you cared for passed away, you would obviously feel sad for them and cry with sadness but it shows that you are strong in the inside.

I think the worst Valentine gift you could give to your significant other is the gas-station flowers or teddy bears you get from there. I think its one of the worst Valentine gifts you could give especially if your a man because you want to think about what your going to get for them and not just whipping something up from a gas station store where you didnt even think about about the occasion and it was some sort of last minute thing you had to do. I think the best gift to recieve on Valentines Day for me is probably chocolate. It would be the best gift for me because I love chocolate and it makes me feel special, especially if the person gives me Ferrero Rocher or a box of Lindor, that would totally make my day.

My ideal Valentines Day with a partner would be as special it could be. First I would treat her to some fun place such as Laser Tag. After that we would probably watch a movie, it would be her choice but if she doesn't choose then we'll watch something that would be scary as heck haha. After all that I would go and treat her a dinner for just the two of us. It would be at night so I'd try and make it a candelite dinner so it'd look really special and hopefully make her happy. My ideal Valentines Day if I were single would probably be making a card for my mom and maybe some flowers and just chill with the family for the day. But of course I would still give something to my mom even if I had a partner.
