It's fun to point out all the mistakes if you've seen a movie a hundred times and like it. But if you point out errors just to criticize the film, that's when it gets annoying. Every movie has mistakes. Just enjoy the movie, and don't look for any errors.

I don't get the whole deal with sexting. The only reason parents are pissed off and calling the police because they actually see people naked. Teens have been having sex way before texting was used. In a way, sexting is less dangerous because they arent actually having sex. But as for the girl who sent pictures of herself, she should be prosecuted. She knew what she did was wrong. Big deal if people turned on her. That's what people do. The law is being too soft on her.

I thought it was cool how they can use so many different shots of an angle. They either had lots of cameras, or lots of time. Either way, it seems like hard work. It takes probably 3 hours of filming to make 3 decent minutes of footage. It would be cool if they used a bird's eye view to see all of the guys doing pilates.

Read: Man and a goose form unlikely friendship View if you have headphones.

I thought this story was cute. It showed how humans can form strong bonds with animals. It seems like Dom and Maria can understand each other. I've had dogs follow me around like that, but never geese. I wonder what would happen if Dom moved...

Why does New York have a fishing tournament? Shouldn't it be more in the Midwest?  There were lots of cool camera effects. I liked how the camera moved along the boat. It's overwhelming to try to sort out the video and the audio at the same time. The parts seem to be moving too fast.

How does Eastview fare against shootings? Jack Groskreutz, p.7 (Broadcast Journalism)

(view footage of columbine) (show interviewee) (picture of eastview, students walking through halls) (home video footage of columbine) (stand up) (interviewee) (students eating together, talking together, having fun, etc…)

Although almost every teen disagrees with Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris’ actions at Columbine, they could still identify with the teens’ feelings of isolation and hurt. “i think their feelings of loneliness and neglect are universal” Eastview High is generally a tolerant place, but there will always bullying in our school.  And who’s to say that our high school is safe enough to prevent someone from shooting up our class rooms? “no matter how nice or clean a school is, a teen could still harbor the pent up rage to commit a school shooting.” Even though our school is doing all it can do to protect us, there is always a possibility that one of our own class mates may take out their rage on us, in one way or another. However, is any school perfectly equipped against that, physically? “i dont think anyone can prevent it. its not something i lose sleep over. if someone's going to bring a gun and start shooting kids in the commons, what's stopping them?” At a glance, this may seem like a pessimistic thing to say, but look deeper. If nothing is physically stopping anyone, there must be something emotionally stopping them. Our school has never had any incidents like Columbine or Jonesboro. We should continue to think this, and trust our fellow students. Trust is our greatest shield. Signing off for the 4cast, this is Jackson.
