Irv's Subconscious Thoughts

  Hello and welcome back to another blog post! In honor of Halloween approaching, I thought something different should be talked about. From slasher films to supernatural horror, there are an overwhelming amount of movies to watch this Halloween. My goal today is to introduce three movies to watch this Halloween. With that being said let's kick off our small list.  1. Halloween (1978)  The first film on our list is a true Halloween classic. If you want to watch a movie that evokes a true Halloween feel, this is your movie!  Halloween (1978) follows a young babysitter Laurie Strode on Halloween night, trying to survive the night as her estranged Brother Michael Myers has escaped an asylum to hunt her and her friends down. This movie is a Halloween watch essential as it birthed one of the earliest scream queens Jamie Lee Curtis,  and will give you all the spooky feelings you desire.  2. The Strangers (2008)  The second film on the list is one of the most...

 Hello and welcome back to another blog post from Irv's Subconscious Thoughts. Throughout the prior blog postings, we have discussed a variety of topics that range from introductions to movie recommendations, however, today's posts will differ. We have all seen those silly Allstate commercials, where each advertisement goes over the different ways Allstate covers you by using humorous and over-the-top methods. Today we will be analyzing one of those ads!  from swatting the bathroom sink on and leaving it running to knocking over a candle, this ad presents all the dramatic ways a cat can cause damage to their owner's home. Although the instances shown in the ad can be considered over-the-top and unlikely to occur such as the running water causing the ceiling to fall through, it seems Allstates intentions were to generate the feeling of relatability as audiences who own cats know that cats get into many things they shouldn't.  To add to the relatability aspect of the adve...

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my fourth blog! In today's blog, I will be discussing the ways Arizona and Michigan Differ! First, let me add some context so this post doesn't feel so random and out of nowhere. A little over a year ago I lived in the Great Lake State which to be more precise is Michigan. When I turned 19, I was presented with the opportunity to back my bags and come live in Arizona. After about a month of debating, I decided it was a good option for me.  Now living in Arizona for about a year now I would like to present my top 3 differences between both states, good and bad! ONE: SCENERY DIFFERENCES. As we know Arizona is known for its beautiful mountains that range from small to large, its surplus of cacti of different varieties, and the big desert land that cities are plopped down into. However, Arizona scenery is very different from Michigan scenery. While Arizona has deserts and not much flatland, Michigan has lots of greenery, forests, and lots of fla...
