The Purpose of Movies with Video Games

I think the purpose of having complimenting movies with tvideo games is to make more money. Essentially, if a child plays a video game and they really like it. It is very likely that they will go see the movie. And some people may even buy th movie because it helps them with the game. By knowing what happened in the movie they can get through the boards faster and reach higher levels. This is just my theory.

MZTV is a museum of the history and broadcasting of television of the world. Its purpose is to educate people on the history of television broadcasting and understanding its impact on the world. It has a collection of about 10,000 objects and television receivers from the 1920s to 1970s available to everyone. Below is one f my favorite quotes from the Television in Quotes section on mztv.com  

"Print created illiteracy. TV is democratic. Everybody gets it." 

~Moses Znaimer's Ten Commandments of Television

TELEVISION WAS CREATED FOR EVERYONE. There is not one thing on television that would intrigued in the slightest any human being. If one does not believe this and think that they will not be entertained by anything on television they are wrong. Simply because if you are not entertained you have some feelings about what is shown which means it interest you in some way. It is hard to function in this world without multimedia. Television has replaced radio and computers are slowly but surely replacing the world.

OLD TIME RADIO: Lights Out

   Listening to the Old Time Radio was in simple words different. I choose a mystery station to listen to called Lights Out. I thought it was going to be the most interesting. In fact, it actually scared me a little. The use of sounds to represent motion and changes in scenery and time added points of dramatization to the story being told. The woman's scream was the best part because it should the power in vocals alone without visual over shadowing.

"Breakthroughs and Busts: Mapping Cinema’s Technological Evolution"

Avatar is a very popular movie these days. I am not surprised due to its ownership of the cinematic world.  this movies uses almost all of the cinematic techniques available today and captures all the senses (maybe not smell). I was not surprised to see in the article that it was a Blockbuster hit because through its use of techniques it ruled the Box Office. 

Along with Avatar was surprisingly Toy Story 3. I say surprisingly because this movie is one of the few lasted movie series and it's a cartoon. It is the highest gross movie of the year. Wow! I have not even seen it. So, who did? Maybe its high attendance has something to do with the baby boom going on as well. More kids mean more attended PG 13 movies.
