  Some people like it.

Some people don’t.

Doesn’t really matter either way.

The point is it can be done. It is being done. And all of it is the same, but different.

So why are we so obsessed with remix culture these days? Why do we want to change everything so badly?

I think that everyone wants to be able to think that they are a…

Were you an active or passive consumer?

In an age where we are capable of being active participators in the media world, there are many times where we still are being passive consumers. Every time we scroll past something, and we don’t comment, we are still being the passive consumers that the print media used to produce.

The medium is the message part 2 #bcm112 BuT iS iT?

  Now Again……

Exactly the same image. A few tweaks. The result? How do you feel?

As online users there are so many platforms which are readily available. But it is the change of the message through the same medium that is interesting to us as an audience. The same medium can be used, but it can be presented slightly differently- the outcome- a new experience and a new message. As the medium…

message vs mess #bcm112

Is the medium the message, or the massage? or is it a mess? Some 50 years ago, Marshall McLuhan suggested the prior, but an editing mistake led to a pun of the medium being the mass-age. Truthfully, I’m glad he never changed it back; for it became a concept so frequently rubbed in it began to feel like a brain massage. Jokes aside, after contemplating the simple sentence some 67 times, my brain…

Starring: Krysten Ritter, David Tennant, Rachael Taylor, Eka Darville, Carrie-Anne Moss.

Synopsis: Ever since her short-lived stint as a superhero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and career as a hot-tempered, sardonic private detective in Hell's Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilities as an unlikely champion for those in need... especially if they're willing to cut her a check (IMDb).

Rating: 4/5

Review: Marvel’s Jessica Jones is an extremely fast paced television show that is bound to keep you on the edge of your seat. Being produced by Netflix, the show is able to break free of the constraints that would have been placed on it if it had been produced for traditional television.

Jessica Jones (Ritter) is the ultimate anti-hero. She wants no part in the life she has got and will do anything to avoid it. The story revolves around Jessica and Kilgrave (Tennant), who is a man with the ability to make people do whatever he chooses. Having been under his control for a very long time, she is left almost crippled, especially as he works his way back into her life.

Jessica is a character that grows on you. Initially, it can be hard to warm up to a character that appears so cold to the world but as we get glimpses into her life through flashbacks it certainly becomes an understandable trait. She is an interesting character with an interesting perspective on things and it is, strange as it seems, wonderful to see a female character written with major faults and fears.

Trish Walker (Taylor) is Jones’ best friend, and her evolution throughout the season is truly remarkable and satisfying to watch. Whilst always having a protective side when it comes to Jessica, Trish comes into her own, particularly in the second-half of the season. Toward the end, she shows a great amount of bravery in order to help Jessica take down Kilgrave. She is always a headstrong character, but in saying that you can see this character grow and develop into a tough female character that I hope I will get to see on the screen again.

Rounding out the main trio of women is Jeri Hogarth (Moss). Hogarth is an interesting character who proves to have little selflessness and is ironically a lawyer (because lawyers are never nice, right?). Ruthless is a word you could definitely use to explain Hogarth, but in saying this she is an extremely well written, multifaceted female character. You never know what to expect from Hogarth and when you think you do, you don’t.
