It is time to change!!!!

Movie World and Dream World give me that relaxation and fun. The only annoying thing is, there haven’t been any new rides etc built since I moved into Australia. I feel disappointed, I’ve been to at least all these same theme parks 5 times or more, it gets boring every time.

I have been to Disneyland in Hong Kong and Universal Studios in Osaka, compared with theme parks in South East Queensland, they are amazing and I reckon ten times better than the ones here. Disneyland is like a fairy tale castle, everything build inside are similar to the Disneyland cartoon and there are many connections between cartoons and real projects hence why people who’s been inside the parks develop that feeling as if they were one of the characters in Disney cartoon shows. Awesome 4D Movie featuring Universal Studios style, the 4D movie are not simple as movie World, they have real people mixed with scenes shows, makes it really awesome, I can’t think of a word to describe it. The movies are classic and famous around the world. Compared with South East Queensland theme Parks, I think the South East Queensaland theme parks are still too monotonous, outdated and boring. I went to Hong Kong Disneyland again in Christmas Holiday and I find out the thicket price is approximately 300 Hong Kong dollar equivalents to 50 or even less Australian dollar it is about 30 Dollars cheaper than Dream World. However, the environment and quality of the project are at much higher level than Dream World and Movie World, there are also a lot of new projects getting built hence why most of my friends are not going to the South East Queensland Theme Parks any more. If Australia Theme Parks industry wants to increase the volume of passengers and push the profit, the only thing is ‘Please, build new rides etc’ and possibly keep the price affordable.

Love has no limits

Justin Bieber `As long as you love me’ video clip is a love themed video. It is based around Justin fighting for the love of his life where he went through a tough situation to try and win his lovers heart. As the start of the clip Justin is dressed up as a poor homeless kid. He had to fight with the girl’s dad because the dad did not want the daughter to date Justin because he wasn’t in the same state as them.

 In this video Justin is trying to convey a strong and inspirational message through his video. Today’s global era, most love is based around money, standards and status and that shouldn’t the case. Love should serve its own purpose and that’s coming from two people’s heart regardless of their status or any reason for that matter.

The clothing and car used in the video were old school type however the music style was modern. I guess what this really means for the music industry is that its moving forward, video clip featuring old style clothing but new style music. However, there shouldn’t be a boundary between old school and modern music, they go together to form a very good music. Likewise money shouldn’t be a reason to love. Justin here is challenging the stereotype. I think this is true and should remain that way, none of that love for money. This song achieves the objective of love, the audience interpret the song differently depending on their state in life. Personally I think Justin is not only referring to money but everything. Love shouldn’t be based around standards, race or status for that matter. It should project real love. I think if people stick to the real purpose of love, no one will get hurt because a pair were together because they really loved each other.

Don't forgot the main spirit

NBA finals can be very frustrating especially when you don’t like a player from the opponent team. It’s very disappointing since I’m a huge fan of Spur. I’ll probably accept losing to a different team but not Miami Heat. Definitely not LeBron James on the team, I know a lot of people like him, I’m definitely not one of them.

Anyway, the main focus here is why we’re not hearing from new people stepping up in NBA. The answer is simple, the big 3 strategy is eliminating normal NBA players to showcase what they can display on the courts. Having 3 big name players on a NBA team means the focus is only on these players, this makes it harder for average NBA players to step up against the big 3.

Classic example, Miami Heat, James, Wade, Bosh are their big 3’s. Tell me if any new players have stepped up ever since these 3 joined Miami Heat? No one, and you never know, within that Heat team alone or any other NBA teams there is a Future James, Wade, Boss or even Bryant but hasn’t been given that opportunity to show what he’s got. I know the main objective behind the big 3 is for a NBA team to win the final, continue their sponsors, generate income for managers, big name players and shareholders of the teams but we are overlooking the original main purpose of NBA which is to give a fair and competitive competition. None of this one side game where a team consisting of big 3 players flogging a team with no big name. As a matter of fact the main purpose has been overlooked, teams are doing what’s best for them, that’s fine, what fans want to see next is fair and competitive games. Also fans want to see new players making progress.

Minions' game is coming

This is a new game following the release of ‘Despicable me2’ movie. The people that designed Minion Rush (new game) were smart and creative to use the advantage of despicable me2 movie release.

There is a strong connection between the movie and the game itself. Personally I think the movie itself is a form of promotion for the new game Minion Crush. If you think about it, audience that have watched the movie have develop some form of connection with the minions which makes it easier for game designers to advertise the game when it was first released.

Business wise, the game designer is saving money to advertise the game as the movie acts as a form of advertising. I think this is very important as there are already too many games in the app store, without the movie, people would have no clue what the game is about and therefore would not want to download it. This game is very simple, for people that have watched the movie; they will find it interesting since they are familiar with the characters. However, audiences that haven’t watched the movie will find this game boring. In a global context, I did recommend this game to a quite a few of my friends and they found it really boring due to the fact that they haven’t watched the movie. They had no idea before they were introduced to the game where as I did. We live in a modern world, most people use internet and have TV at their homes, you would expect a large number of people being familiar with the movie which enables downloads for the game easier. I love the game but let us face it, not everyone will want to download this game. Nevertheless it has been a successful invention. The game was very successful with their advertising technique, timing between the release of the movie and game was well planned hence why people still download the game.

Too Fake,Too unrealistic!!!

Fast and Furious 6 what a great movie, I find it really interesting how the ideas have been put together to make the film at the same time create a strong memory of the whole movie when people walk out of that movie theatre. High performance cars, hot girls, highly powered guns and the fighting. The movie reinforces the message that illegal activities result in people owning expensive cars, highly powered guns and having easy access to hot girls. This message is true and it is happening around the world today. This is good; the director want the audience to feel that connection with a movie at least close enough to being realistic, that way it is more interesting. The audience will want to watch the film next time.

On the other hand, Fast 6, there were some unrealistic scenes which made the movie different. It amazed the audience which is good, the real question is, `how long did that last before they came to their senses such scenes are unrealistic in the real world?’. How many people would want to watch the movie again? After watching that movie, I was not keen on watching it for the second time; the unrealistic scenes ruined the entire movie.

For example, 4cylinder car pulling down an aircraft You want a movie as close to being realistic that will make the audience want to watch it again. This is a good thing for Business since they will be making long term profit when people keep coming back to watch the movie. Nevertheless, regardless of the unrealistic scenes, Fast 6 directors have been creative in coming up with a good movie. On a global context, other movies that have featured unrealistic scenes have been successful such as iron man, Transformers, superman etc. Fast 6 and all other unrealistic movies have reflected a new movie industry trend which is unrealistic but still profitable for businesses.
