LA LA LAND這個詞原本指的就是與現實脫離的夢幻、極度開心狀態 (就像你開心的時候 la la la 啦啦啦忘神的唱歌一般), 到後來也與洛杉磯/好萊塢這個眾人前來追求夢想的迷幻世界劃上等號, 也因此成為洛杉磯這個城市的暱稱(也是當初我命名我部落格/Facebook Fan Page的原因啊!) 既然粉絲頁與電影同名 （但幹嘛沒事翻成什麼樂來越愛你, 實在好ㄙㄨㄥˊ、跟ＬＡ又沒關係 >_<) 又加上身為洛杉磯人, 我當然一定要好好介紹這部片!
這部片完全是封給LA這個城市的情書啊, 它帶出了洛杉磯最浪漫、美好的一面, 也是LA不為人知的一面. 儘管結局或許不是一般好萊塢Happily Ever After的皆大歡喜結局, 但也就是因為這更接近現實的 "What if (我當初如果不是做這樣的決定, 我現在的人生或許會完全不同); Not everything can be perfect"這樣狀態而產生的淡淡哀愁讓它更觸動人心.
Finally!!! After a few months of extreme boredom, my TV shows r back!!!
(even though some of my faves r cancelled or has ended, there are a few more that im lookin' forward to, hoping they'll live up to the expectations, lol..)
Communication in the media is an increasingly growing and competitive environment, especially among those reporting news and distributing information throughout our society. The revolution in the competitive media landscape since 1995 has altered the way Americans live today. Since 1995, the media industry has had to consider international opportunities as well as international threats. For example, international expansion has caused the United States to do things such as invest in foreign programming networks, create centralized management policies so that if and when the media is expanded overseas, they will be prepared to deal with the challenges of vertically integrated competitors that operate in a more centralized manner. In regards to technology, the paths to access and distribution have opened immensely giving Americans more and more ways to obtain information. According to the Pew Research Center, "Nearly seven-in-ten Americans (68%) now use a computer at least on an occasional basis, up from 61 percent in 1998 and 58 percent in 1996. Almost as many have a computer in their home-59 percent, up from 43 percent in 1998 and 36 percent in 1995" (Pew Research Center, 2006). Traditional news outlets, such as the television, are no longer the main source of receiving information. In our new technologically advanced world, most of society prefers to receive information through their cell phones or blackberries. "Only 55 percent of Americans now report having watched the news or a news program on television 'yesterday,'" whereas in 1994, 74 percent of Americans used television as their news outlet (The Pew Research Center, 2006). Television's supremacy is ending. TV ratings are going down and the internet's usage is going up. The internet has become one of the largest technology breakthroughs in history making business very hard for networks. For example, the majority of businesses prefer their consumers and clients to visit their websites in order to obtain information about their company. The non-stop growing environment of technology has, in turn, changed every aspect of a human's life.
Consider the social and economic impacts of communication inside the lives of Americans in 2006 compared to those in 1995. In order to keep up with the trends of today's society, people are purchasing new media conceptions every day causing "built in obsolescence." This is when the consumer is initially persuaded into buying a product; however, the corporation quickly manufactures something new and improved making the first product obsolescent (for example: ipod, then the ipod mini, then the nano). Convenience has also moved its way up to the top of the priority list of most Americans. As a result, our society is becoming more and more alienated and unsociable. We now no longer have to communicate with our peers and/or colleagues face-to-face anymore. It seems our society would rather communicate through emails and the internet than even picking up the telephone. Nonetheless, this increasing technology may have a tendency to harm these companies. For instance, people no longer want to take the time to go to the store and buy DVD's or rent movies because it is inconvenient for them.
Michael Eisner, who joined Disney in 1984, served as the prince that awoke the dormant giant of animation and infused new life as well as new strategies into the company. Along with Frank Wells and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the trio successfully rebuilt the magic kingdom of Disney with Eisner’s profit multiplier business model and the application of synergy group. With Eisner’s business model, Disney’s creative content was transformed and repackaged in various forms which led to the expansion of profits in a wide range of consumer product domains. Repacking and cross-marketing did not only help leverage “the value of one content source across the company’s many divisions” but also allow the creative content to be utilized numerous times to increase profits for shareholders (Harvard Business School, 1998, p. 2). Accordingly, branded products that originated from the creative content became one of the major channels for revenue for the company. In the end, the result of their efforts was the creation of a brand and a self-sufficient entertainment empire that had the privileges of ignoring vendors from the outside.
雖然說我已經離Teen這個年齡很久了,
但是基於我對電影音樂的熱愛跟身為communication major的習慣,
一年一次的teen choice awards即使是miley cyrus主持也是要看一下,
更何況有我愛的American Idol今年winner-David Cook, runner-up David Archuleta,
還有jabba, chris brown, step up 2成員以及其他各路跳舞好手組成的ACDC的表演.
說到現在美國teens最迷的三個人/團體:
Miley Cyrus
Jonas Brothers
High School Musical
我實在是搞不懂...
可能我太老了吧
先說Miley跟Jo Bros, 到也不是說他們完全沒才藝, 可是, 也沒有多有才藝啊...歌沒有太好聽, 而且長得實在是很醜.
完全不懂大家在迷甚麼.
我實在是很佩服Disney的marketing & image management,
總是可以很成功的把不怎樣的小鬼捧紅, 變成一種社會現象.
像是之前的Hillary Duff...(演Lizzy MacQuire紅的, 就像Miley演Hannah Montana一樣).
Hillary Duff現在除了出席events or parties被狗仔拍, 偶爾拍個電影外, 好像也沒在幹嘛.
Teen Queen的地位似乎已被Miley奪去.
但是說真的,
像她們這種很年輕即嚐到走紅滋味, 賺進大把鈔票的年輕歌星,
到底能紅多久?
好萊塢少了這幾個人, 又有甚麼差別嗎?
他們能夠在處處是誘惑的好萊塢潔身自愛然後安然長大, move on to the next phase嗎?
I dunno.
誰知道他們會不會是下一個Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears?!
不過, 還好Disney至少成功的捧紅了Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera.
這兩個人都是非常talented, 不斷在自我成長進步的,
we should applause them!!!
As for Britney, 她如果沒發神經, 或許也算是成功的, 畢竟當年她跳舞是跳得很不錯的.
至於High School Musical, 因為我沒看, 也沒興趣看, 所以不適合說甚麼. 不過至少主角長得都還算賞心悅目.

Fergie "Labels or Love" Lyrics
Shopping for labels.. shopping for love
Manolo and Louis.. it’s all I’m thinking of
Shopping for labels.. shopping for love
Manolo and Louis.. it’s all I’m thinking of
Already know what my addiction is
I be looking for labels.. I ain’t looking for love
I shop for purses while I walks out the door
Don’t cry.. buy a bag and get over it
And.. I’m not concerned with all the politics
It’s a lot of men I know I could find another
and I know that I’m always happy when I walk out the store.. store
I’m guess I'm Supercalifragisexy [she stole that from prince!].. nothing to be playing with
I love him.. hate him.. kiss him.. diss him try to walk a mile in my kicks
(CHORUS)
Love’s like a runway but which one do I love more
No emotional baggage.. just be festive with Dior
Love’s like a runway so what’s all the fussing for
Let's stop chasing those boys and shop some more
1,2 1,2,3 turn the lights on
I know I might come off as negative
I be looking for labels.. I ain’t looking for love
But relationships are often so hard to take
and Prada dresses never broke my heart before
And.. ballin's something that my feet are with
I'ma do the damn thing, watch me do the damn thing.
Cuz I know that my credit card will help me put out the flames
I’m guessing Supercalifragi-sexy.. nothing to be playing with
I love him.. hate him.. kiss him.. just I’m trying to walk a mile in my kicks
(CHORUS)
Gucci.. Fendi.. Prada purses.. purchasing them finer things
Men they come a dime a dozen.. just give me them diamond rings
I’m into a lot of bling.. Cadillac Chanel and Coach
Fellas boast but they can’t really handle my female approach
Buying things that's hard to say
Rocking Christian or Leger.. Manolo or Polo taking photos in my Cartier
So we can’t go all the way.. I know you might hate it but
I’m a shop for labels while them ladies lay and wait for love
Went to see 'Blood Diamond' two days ago,
i knew it would be a good one..cuz critics have all been giving it positive feedback...
but i was still surprised by how great Leonardo DiCaprio's performance was!
honestly, i think this is his best performance ever.
yeah, 'the departed' was good enough, but this one, he totally exploited his potential n brought it into full play.
if u like DiCaprio, u should definitely check it out. n if u dont esp. like him, u'll fall in luv w him in this one.
