Poptarts, Hals commercial, and Youtube. WHAT!

It seems that the convienent hot meals come in packs between 1-4.

So I can have a fast, hot, delicious breakfast one day, and the day im running late i have to eat my cereal out a cup in the car.

A great example would be the breakfast hot pockets. 2 in a box. Thatll cover me running late twice in one week, but then again i have poptarts. Small box has 4 pouches of 2 poptarts- 8 in a box. I can grab a pack 4 days.

I dont know where i was going with that exactly. Just an observation i guess.

Why do 2 poptarts come in one pouch? It'd be fine if it was in a re-sealable pouch, so you can eat one and save the other for another time. Thats actually a good idea i think. And if it were a microwavable pouch too, it can be made to where you could toast them in the microwave too, for those who dont have a toaster, because students in collage, and those in an office, typically would have a small microwave of some sort. Not a toaster. Just a thought, guys.

OTHER TOPIC:

Remember the coughdrop commercial with the little asian lady in a grocery store stocking the freezers? Then the army dude shows up and does the drill sargent thing, she screams and he flys away from it?

I think i broke this down, and dont know why id like to share...

shes got a cold, wearing a sweater, with USED tissues in her sleeve- no gloves- stocking food in a freezer. She clearly does not need to be stocking cold food with a cold. The tissues have contaminated her hand and therefore has spread to the packages of food. With the freezers being the proper temperature (30 degrees or below, i believe) the germs SHOULD be dead. But take into consideration that maybe a customer gets that item when the temperature has not reached its safe zone. They could get sick. Aside from that, her boss must have been a jerk "Oh you have a cold huh? well go stock the freezers." Thats why the drill sarge got on to her, he was going to get Mrs. Sarge some frozen chicken nuggets, and the bag had snot on it. Then when she screamed him away, she changed faces between the cut. (Continuity!) and she was flexing like a pro weight lifter- showing off her sweater-covered biceps. I highly doubt ANY cough drop would make my "War face" and scream blow a sarge out of a grocery store. I'd get smacked down for that crap.

Is it bad to notice mistakes made in commercials that play over and over? Its sad when a student in college can do better work than professionals who have been doing it for years. A friend of mine wrote an essay about old hollywood and new hollywood.

Old hollywood was about making an artistic, entertaining piece, and pull you into the story and all. Where as the new hollywood, is about the buck. Eye candy like women, mucles, guns, explosions, cars, all used to draw in the mass audience of men 18-30. (Age may varry) Lets face it, even the actors do the job for money and fame now adays. then it was for their many fans, they were great at what they did, and put their passion into the role being played. Now, its not always like that. We have become more about money- Quantity over quality. I'd like to one of the guys that worries more about the quality, plot, story; just making an out-right damn good film for people to watch and enjoy, and still want more. Then do it again. Wow them a second time. Keep getting better, being more Old school than new. New is strange and crazy to me, old has proven itself to work time and time again. But in the cut-throat industry, everyone wants to be uniqe and stand out and make a movie with explosions, gun fire, big breasts, big biceps, high-revving engines, and lens flair. Just throw all that into a jar and shake well. Pour onto your TV, and you have a "New Hollywood" movie. Megan Fox? Please. Ive seen toys that have more realism. Give me a new, "Old Hollywood" Style movie with real talent like Tom Hanks, or Jim Carrey. Dont throw a set of double D's in the mix just to sell it. Let talent and the artistic capabilities wow the audience. Oh, and on that note, dont put all the best parts in the trailer so i can see the trailer in theatres mixed with boring crap.

Youtube:

Where is the professionalism? Some videos have WMM titles on them, like its so awesome and they are pros... Uh, no? Some of us are trying to get noticed and get jobs by using this site to show are professionalism, (Filmriot, IndyMogul, Video Copilot, Freddiew, etc...) all are damn good at their film making skills and have tutorials and tips for us other potential professionals. Video bloggers, okay. Some video bloggs are funny as hell. But mostly dull as shit. Audition clips: fine. Music videos, shorts, thats great. Just dont take a song into WMM and put a slide show to it and cheezy titles that take forever to read. Its so stupid. Lyrics to a song? PLEASE!!! bad idea, people. Its stupid and a waste of space on YT. Tag your videos with what it involves so other users dont have to weed through all of those stupid "I made this video of a song and pictures of the band. Enjoy and subscribe!" bullshit to find what im looking for. A search that should have taken 5 minutes takes 30 because of all the garbage clips and miss-labeling. If you made the song, try something original, not a "remake" or a "reboot" or a "my version of bla bla"- Do a cover? Great. LABEL IT AS A COVER! If it isnt "Original" or "Official" Dont put it in the title.

Now im in a position where i post something on my page, i see its stupid, lame, or just needs to go. So i delete it. Others have hundreds of videos and all of them are total trash. I and my fellow filmmakers cant get noticed by others because you want to fill youtube with a clip of you and your buddies playing with fruit, and calling it EPIC FIGHT where the only thing that happens is an orange is thrown at a wall. Then tagged is things like, epic fruit, big, fun, funny, win, super, music, dumb, bla bla... I can give you DUMB for that clip. but id rather it just not exist. THINK! what is in demand? what is hard to find? Make it easy TO find. Delete the garbage and title and tag appropriatly.

When commenting, keep it proffesional, none of that "Yo, nigga dat siz iz wak dawg!" or "This movie sucks. Slap your self." its rude, and in considerate to do. Leave constructive criticim. EXAMPLES: "Wow! great job! loved the shot on 1:22!" or "I think the colors may be off, try color correction?" or maybe "I think the audio needs work."- thats totaly cool. No need to trash somone unless they are just an idiot. Legit.

-Done for today.
