Sponsored by....

So i'm pretty sure that the film The Wedding Date, is sponsored by Michael Buble. This is because every five minutes through the film, sad moments and happy moments there was a Michael Buble song which appeared. So that makes me wonder did this product placement help fund the movie? Did Buble get money to appear on the film? How does it work? 

Did it help boost his career? Though i'm pretty sure he was famous/ on magic radio before it appeared on this film.

I'm not saying this in a hating way bt-dubz cause I really do like to listen the Buble in a soapy bath, having a Buble bath. Hahaha.


Just after writing this yet, another Buble song has appeared .


Wait for it,..... even the credits have a Buble song.

Is originality dead?

So before I have said that perhaps nothing is original anymore so I am going to go through a list of films and to me they are similar or adaptations to others (I can't help it i'm board).

• 10 things I hate about you, 1999,  a clear adaptation of 'The Taming of the Shrew' by William Shakespeare.
• The Hot Chick, 2002, a spell made to a horrible person and they have til the full moon to change, 'Beauty and The Beast' and 'Cinderella'.
• The Girl Next Door, 2004, a guy falls in love with a girl who uses her 'assets' for a living, this must be 'Pygmalion' which adapted to 'Pretty Woman', 'My fair lady' and also it kind of has edges of 'Risky Business' the Tom Cruise Classic.
• Agent Cody Banks , 2003, I hate to says this as it is a brilliant film for me but it is a clear rip off of 'Spy Kids' just with slightly older kids.
• Walk to Remember,2002 and the book is 1999, I hate to criticise Nicholas Sparks on this but the template of guy is popular, girl is not, guy proves something to his friends at the start and then falls for the girl, girl is unique in her own way which is one of the qualities which the guy falls for. But, don't worry Sparks other films have this same plot; 'She's all that', '10 things I hate about you', 'The Duff' and 'Whatever it takes'.
• A film where a unpopular girl falls for the popular guy, battles it out with the queen bee who wants him as well and wins. Well, this could be 'The Duff', 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging', 'High school musical' and 'Odd Girl out'.
• Saved!,2004, a girl becomes pregnant and is then ostracized by all of her friends who turn on her. Well this could be the obvious 'Scarlet Letter' which could lead to the 'Easy A' which even within its plot refers to the common similarities to the Scarlet Letter. Though if we are minusing the ostracizing you could have 'Juno' on your hands.
• Staten Island Summer, 2015, two unlikely geek who have never rebelled in their lives decide to have an all out party. Wow, it seems like not only is this film plot repetitive but, it is so stereotypically teenager even I have started planning a surprise parents-are-out-party but, i'm still not ballsy enough to do it. So basically it is 'Superbad', a couple of the 'american pie's and i'm not sure but i'm pretty certain that 'Accepted' would definitely cross the barrier.
• Sydney White, 2007, a clear modern day adaptation of 'Snow White and the seven dwarves' as even she has seven people who when marching with picket signs sing 'Hi Ho'.
• Paper Towns, 2015 book written 2008, but, i'm pretty sure having a nerdy guy falling for the popular girl who takes him out for an extravagant night qualifies as 'I love you, Beth Cooper'.
•  17 again,2009, when a guy who is ungrateful with their life simply gets turned back into a younger self well I'm pretty sure on this front that this near enough exactly the same as '13 going on 30'.
• White Chicks,2004,so basically a cop dressing up a beautiful girl to protect some wealthy prettier girls well this seems like the 'Miss Congeniality' series.
• It's a boy girl thing,2006, when two people who detest each other accidently end up in each others bodies well this is basically 'Freaky Friday' though this time they try and truly ruin each other's lives.

Just to say I'm sorry if I have offended anyone its just I read a whole lot of book and you kind of notice how they try to deviate from the norms of that specific genre to which eventually create every book from that genre being the same deviation and I watch a lot of films which is why I find it easy to see the similarities. But, at the moment in this world all I want to see are the differences. What makes you unique from everybody else?

Shakespeare in films

When I first started GCSE Media my teacher told the class as a discussion topic 'Is anything original nowadays?' And so, 2 years after that I still compare every movie which I watch to others and grade their uniqueness. So here it is.

I fully understand the need for adaptations as they help bring a wider audience to books, plays and poems which if they were not updated would be left with the same rustic audience as originally designed for. However, as times change audiences change as well, especially their likes. For example, as a slightly weird teenager I quite like SHakespeare's plays especially his comedies. Which is why I always become more excited when yet another one of his plays are either adapted into a new styled version of the play or simple a hollywood film. to explain it better here are some of Shakespeare's plays:

Othello
Hamlet
Taming of the shrew
Romeo and Juliet
As you like it
Midsummer's night dream

Now here are the film adaptations of these plays:
Othello, with Kenneth Branagh, Michael sheen and Laurence Fishburne
Lion King
10 things I hate about you
Forbidden Planet
Romeo + Juliet
Gnomeo and Juliet
As you like it
Midsummer's night dream


I just felt that someone should say something as it is an anniversary of The Bard and therefore I did.

I'm not that depressed I swear

"I am drowning. Life is the alcoho which intoxicates me,school is the car and as a result I am going to crash my exams." ~Me

Now, I have watched and started reading 'How to be single' isn't a handbook or a 'dummy guide to' but, instead of pineing, I'm sorry if thats spelt wrong, for a guy. So now I know that I should enjoy the fact that I am single. So I am going to enjoy my life, tone myself into a better me. That is not because I think that I guy would date me only if I am skinny or just simply minus many pounds but I feel that doing 90-100 miles in 30 days this summer should be a good target. So I would like to clear it up, I am not as depressed as people may believe. Life is stressful as a student, as a female student and as a teenager.
