Singing In The Rain vs. A Clockwork Orange's Singing In The Rain

Featured in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange the main character of Alex starts singing singing in the rain, the classic song from the classic movie, while him and his gang are beginning the process of raping this women and beating her husband. The difference in the two is the context in which they are being sang. In the original version the main character is happy and in love, while in A Clockwork Orange Alex is taking part in a rape in which he loves to partake in. So they are both in love however the context is different.

Old Time Radio

For some reason my computer is unable to open any of the old radio shows. But in class we listened to the Orson Welles broadcast of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds. I found it fascinating how a broadcast caused such an uproar in some communities. They even stated many times that it was not real and just a story from a book and people still took it literally. I mean i can understand where their coming from becuase the way in which Welles told the story made it seem like it was actually happening, he told it in a broadcasting tone, which i felt was amazing. Overall dope story and dope broadcast.

Dali Museum

This past weekend i went to the Dali Museum in St. Pete with my folks. Apparently photos are not allowed to be taken but i got some anyway. I'm not a big art fan but this was the first time that i actually enjoyed an art museum, unfortunately i was not able to take a picture of my favorite piece which is the second painting in this group of 5 pictures.
