Here's my sexual content assignment that I've been saving to post for this really busy week of school.
1. What programs did you choose?
I don’t watch TV and the assignment instructed to not change my habits. I e-mailed Dr. Coyne asking her what I should do for this assignment, suggesting I could maybe do the shows I need to watch for our content analysis project. She suggested that I watch a movie. So, since my wife wanted to watch, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” that’s what I did.
2. How much sex is in the programs? Keep a running tally for each program and write it below.
There wasn’t any sex in the movie thankfully.
3. What sexual messages are portrayed in each of the three programs?
The figure of the primary female character in the movie was ridiculously thin (she’s a clay figure so they can do that) and had really long legs, and big eyes. I think they tried to make her attractive or something. Her and the primary male character attempt to kiss each other without knowing each other very well or very long. There are several ensuing scenes of unsuccessful kissing and in the final “happily ever after” scene, the movie closes with a successful kiss between the main characters.
One random camera shot in the movie gives a close up of the buttocks of the police man. I’m not really sure what the point of it was, but it shows his skin tight shorts that reveal his crack and all, covered by blue shorts. I guess there are several shots of one character clothed in nothing but his underwear. It was harder for me to pick up on things like this that involved males rather than females. I notice more easily when females are clad scantily I guess. Go figure.
