Professor Explores Why Some Choose Not To Watch TV

�Shielding children from sex and fierceness, avoiding commercials and finding extra prison term for former activities are among the key reasons Americans live without television, according to a new book by Marina Krcmar, associate prof of communication at Wake Forest University.



"Living without the Screen" is an in-depth study of American families and individuals who choose not to watch goggle box. It will be promulgated Aug. 28 by Routledge.



Krcmar wanted to find extinct why some people for good turn off the TV, while the average American watches threesome hours of television each day.



"Non-viewers perceive television to have index," Krcmar aforementioned. "They believe it lavatory steal sentence, can affect consumer behaviour and commode influence how autonomous children are."



Krcmar interviewed 120 adults and children from 62 different households who do not look on television. Some filled kayoed a survey or completed diaries documenting how they spent their time. She visited the homes of 15 participants and conducted extensive interviews with the adults and children in the household.



Some in the study never owned a TV, others did not replace one when it broke or did not have a television due to fiscal considerations. Some owned a TV, merely kept it hidden away and now and then pulled it out to watch a movie on DVD. To allow her to make believe comparisons, Krcmar also interviewed 92 participants from 35 households wHO do watch television.



"Based on the interviews, the surveys and the time-use diaries, it appears that those who do not look on television non only resist television in order to keep sex, violence, shallow news coverage and consumerism out of their lives, but too to encourage family interaction, their children's independence and creativity, and a wise use of their time," Krcmar said.



Those with very liberal or very conservative political views are among those to the highest degree likely to say "no" to television, she aforesaid. Although more than half of the non-viewing study participants felled seam into politically opposite categories, others fell across the demographic spectrum.



"I was surprised to find that deuce large groups of non-viewers were exceedingly different in many ways, but shared commonalities regarding television," Krcmar said. For example, one of the study participants was a politically liberal, single artist in Boston. Another participant with similar views around TV was a Midwestern woman with 10 children who described herself as a button-down Christian.



A common characteristic among non-viewers was that, compared to viewers, they had "very stiff opinions not only around television only also around those issues they saw as organism associated with it such as political science and couple-interaction," Krcmar aforementioned. "In other words, they are avid and idealistic."



They all believed themselves to be unusual and broadly speaking liked being different. Not watching video was role of their family identicalness. Krcmar found the non-viewers were more engaged with family and friends than their TV viewing counterparts.



Many who did not observe TV rejected the total television industry as immoral or unethical. By rejecting the industry, they felt they gained power in their homes, Krcmar said.



Parents in the study aforementioned banning TV in their homes helped make their children more independent. Instead of the short-term amusement value of television, the children benefitted from the long-term power to nurse themselves, they said.



For children, not observance TV meant a expiration of social capital, Krcmar said. They could non join in conversations about popular TV shows. However, many of the older children interviewed had full-grown comfortable without TV and had plant other shipway to connect to peers. The book includes anecdotes about parents offering to let their children watch something on TV as a payoff and the children responding that they were non interested.



"By researching families without television, I think we learn a lot about the purpose of television receiver in the lives of American families," said Krcmar, who does not own a TV in her house. "I know this may effectual counter-intuitive, simply when we look nearly at kinsfolk interaction in the absence of TV, we see the shipway in which television has become an integral part of our lives."



Krcmar's inquiry focuses on children, adolescents and the media, and her well-nigh recent research has examined the core of violent video games on adolescents and the role of media uptake in adolescent risk-taking.

Cannes critics cool as film competition nears end

By Mike Collett-White


CANNES, France (Reuters) - A lack of memorable movies means
the 2008 Cannes film festival has scored poorly among many
critics, who argue that after a solid start the main
competition faded.


Star power was sustained, however, with the red carpet
attracting big names like Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt,
Clint Eastwood, Penelope Cruz, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg
and Harrison Ford and sports stars Mike Tyson and Diego
Maradona.


With two out of 22 films in the main competition this year
yet to screen, critics and journalists who have been through 10
days of movies, news conferences, interviews and parties
struggled to come up with many highlights.


The competition closes on Sunday evening when the
nine-member jury headed by Sean Penn hands out the awards,
culminating in the coveted Palme d'Or for best picture.


"Even before the halfway mark, the general mood has been
one of disappointment," said Jay Weissberg, a critic with trade
publication Variety.


"Coming off another weak Berlin festival, there is a sense
that 2008 is not going to be the best year for films."


He and several others highlighted "Waltz With Bashir" as a
potential winner of the top prize.


The animated documentary was seen as an innovative way of
exploring an Israeli draftee's memories of the 1982 massacre of
Palestinians living in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila camps. 

Stuck

It�s already a bad day for Tom (Stephen Rea), an unemployed, middle-aged business executive who�s about to enter the ranks of the homeless--but things are only going to get worse when the sun goes down. Brandi (Mena Suvari), a young nurse with a penchant for partying, is driving home after celebrating an expected promotion when Tom crosses the street at exactly the wrong moment. Brandi hits Tom then rushes home in abject panic--all the while, incidentally, Tom�s body is stuck in her windshield, and he�s still alive. While Brandi frantically dithers and deliberates how to extricate herself from this situation without consequences, Tom is trying to physically extricate his broken body from Brandi�s windshield. What begins as a simple, if unfortunate, case of hit-and-run becomes a battle of wills between Tom and Brandi--one that crackles with intensity and irony.Both Suvari and Rea give tremendous performances. Rea's downtrodden dignity is enormously empathetic. His attempts to save himself--exemplifying his renewed will to live--are agonizing to watch but also rousing in their own way, as this underdog fights against some pretty steep (and bloody) odds. Interestingly enough, it�s also easy to empathize with Brandi�s predicament--for a time. Hitting Tom was an accident, but when she goes into self-preservation mode Brandi�s actions become more and more horrific, with the consequences growing exponentially. Suvari (also an associate producer) hasn�t had a role this good since American Beauty, and she makes the most of it. There�s also a nice turn by Russell Hornsby as Brandi�s drug-dealing, two-timing boyfriend Rashid, who gets drawn into her scheme--much to his regret.Stuart Gordon, whose H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Re-Animator remains one of the premier cult films of the 1980s, has lost none of his savage wit or his taste for dark humor. That this film is inspired by an actual incident only enhances its impact and its stinging irony. Truth is not only stranger than fiction, it�s often stronger. Beyond the violence (sometimes extreme) and satire (sometimes overt) are some subtle yet potent observations about human nature--about not taking responsibility for one�s actions, about not getting involved, about covering up one�s mistakes. Stuck is not a preachy film, but it�s frequently a penetrating one (no pun intended).

Rick Ross Talks About Tiger Attack -- Seriously! -- On The Set Of His 'Here I Am' Video

Neither Battle Cat nor his alter ego Cringer would be a big fan of Rick Ross' joking about a large feline extra on the set of his video for "Here I Am."

A few weeks ago, a big ol' tiger had a disagreement with his trainer. Ross — who was recently voted into the top of five of MTV News' "Hottest MCs in the Game" — maintained his South Miami swagger while witnessing the incident.

"There's a company down in Miami that keeps exotic animals," Ross recalled. "You can have whatever you want in the club. If you want some tigers, that's what it is. We called him for one scene in the video. When they got there, [the trainer] let us know that the tiger was irritated.

"One of my homies let him know, 'If the tiger gets out of line, we gonna shoot it,' " Ross added with a smile.

"Forty five minutes into the shoot, the trainer is doing his thing with the tiger, and the tiger just grabbed his a--! Did his thing. You could tell they have their own little relationship. It wasn't his first time being bit — he got bit pretty good. I wasn't too far from it.

"It was all good — the tiger was on the chain," Ross clarified. "You had to be there to see that it wasn't out of control. It wasn't crazy, he wasn't getting mauled. It was the owner/ pet thing. He plugged him good! I let [the trainer] know he had to finish my video. He wiped the blood off, it was all good. Trilla!"

The video starts with the Bawwwse and his girl chilling in his Chevy "back in the day." The woman's mother comes out and chastises her for going out with a thug. Pitbull and DJ Khaled are among the guest stars who joined Ross, Nelly and his artist Avery Storm.

"It's just that lifestyle," Ross added. "I feel like the world is yours. That's the attitude. A female that started dating me when I was young, and she stayed down when nobody believed in me. Now the world is ours and we doing big things. That's what the video is about.

"Elevation," he continued. "Going to that next level on this record with Nelly. When I sit back and look at the chemistry of [the video], it's a black boy, white boy and D-boy. A lot of people gonna be shocked when they see Avery Storm. He smooth with it!"

Ricky Ross — whose Trilla recently debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart — also revealed his next album will be coming by the end of the year. It's called Deeper Than Rap.

"I'mma give them my life, the streets and give them the game on this one," he promised.
