I know we didn't get to finish the history of video games on monday but one thing that I've noticed is that they're starting to get story lines and be more like movies rather than just running away from colored blobs like in pac-man.
The movie celluloid closet very one sided to me. Most of the people were gay and screenwriters. Tom Hanks was the only one who wasn't either or. I never really knew what gays in movies were called in the old days, I didnt know that they were called "silly's". Later on it was very interesting that hollywood had to cover up so much, change the plots, skripts, and do so much just to keep certain things out.
If it wasn't for Boys in the Band and Rebel without a cause things would probably be the same as they were back then. It was also interesting that the movies made it seem that all gays had to look forward to was a horrible death wether by fate or suicide. When I heard that movies were being altered because of the sex scenes or gays it seemed like the right to freedom of expression was being taken away.

I've never seen Bowling for Columbine before and I've never really seen any other of Michal Moores films before either. So far what I had gotten from the movie was that our laws on guns are not strict enough, honestly I think he does have a good point our laws on guns are not strict enough but most guns used in crimes are bought and sold illegaly and I think that needs to be taken into consideration. Most people who do buy guns legally are are eaither going to use them to hunt or home defense. And as for the person who got shot by his dog...I'm sorry but he's a dumb ass for putting the gun on the dog and not unloading the weapon in the first place which should be done as soon as the safety is on.
