English 110 hones analytical habits of mind that are meant to be naturalized and used outside of the classroom. Therefore, the Blog Project takes the analysis you use and gives you the chance to practice applying it to the public writing you already interact with in your everyday life. By considering representations of sexuality found in your world, you can become a more critically aware consumer of various media texts.

Moose Mannarino - Film Response
I thought the film was thought provoking. I would have to side with the film makers on this argument though. By creating a rating system that tolerates violence over sex our society has shown skewed ideals. I do not think the rating system is necessary and the way it is run is sketchy to say the least. I think that creativity shouldn't be stifled and that even if a movie gets a rating of NC-17 it should still be allowed to show in theaters. I think rather than get a rating determined by an anonymous group of board members, parents should be in charge of allowing their kids to watch movies that they deem suitable. It is not a matter of what a small group of people think, people should be allowed to see what they would like to see. It is a shame that great movies get stifled and cut to appease a group of people who are only seeking monetary gain.
