Beals vs Pollan

Well after reading Beal's "Faceless on Facebook" i really thought that most of our reading would be a good amount of reading but wouldn't be too long but then i read Pollan's "The Modern Hunter-Gatherer" and realized how wrong i actually was. Ha well i enjoyed reading what Beals had to say in her article apt bout how people judge you based on whats on your profile because as almost everyone here recently i also have a facebook and people constantly ask why i put some stuff on my facebook. But at the end of the article i was disappointed on how she acted like she was just too good for facebook. to me that was like her saying she was better than everyone that usues it but no human is better than another. In Pollans article he used alot of big words and some confused me but overall it was a good article i enjoyed reading it and didn't think it was all that bad except for how damn long it was!!! But while i was reading the part in Pollan's article about cannibalism it made me think about the movie Wrong Turn.
Which that movie was pretty horrible. I mean if it really happened that would be pretty creepy but as for watching it well i have to say it kinda sucked and the acting was not so good. The only reason most people watched it is because there were good looking women in revealing clothes running for their lives. The only person i knew in the movie was Eliza Dushku, who also played in The New Guy which in my opinion was a very funny movie. Well overall i enjoyed "Faceless on Facebook" more but Pollan's article wasn;t all that bad either.

I mean it was whatever...not something i would watch over and over again but it was ok. NEW GUY= GREAT MOVIE!!!
