The unfortunate subtitles for childish teenagers

So today in my Media lesson we were watching the film , Cabin in the woods, to gather codes and conventions about horror films and we do so with the subtitles on but we have reached to a bit where one of teenagers is about to take her blouse off and then a man controlling the pheromone levels in the air with a noises of him and then the subtitle explains the noise [readjusting knob].
Well my class who consists of 16 and 17 year old felt the irony was high at this moment and did not stop laughing for a good 5 minutes.

45 jelly beans

So in my psychology lesson the other week we were learning about conformity. There was a test performed ages ago where a group sat around a table and they guessed how many jelly beans were in the picture. So we decided to do it as a class.

So I guessed around 150 jelly beans , whilst I was trying to count them, and then people escalated upwards up to 500 jelly beans. But, then it came to getting the opinion of our friend Peachey and she did good and decided to go with her original opinion and not adhere to conformity. 45! That was her answer. Even though just by looking at the picture you could see there was more than that.
Though Kudos to her for sticking with it even though she knew she possibly was wrong, the probability that anyone was actually correct in our class was near impossible but, hey.

Maze Runner 2: The Scorch Trials (2015)

   So if you have watched the prequel then you know that a group of teenagers were locked in a maze until they could figure out how to escape and they escaped. So now they are on a mission to escape from wicked but, what if this sense of security is just another form of Wicked well they will find out. With some zombie like creatures that run throughout the film is does seem more of a zombie apocalypse film rather than a dystopian teen survivalist film.
   Even though I have read the book series written by James Dashner I see why they did some plot variations and it does seem they were for the films greater good.
   With over $275.3 million in box office it as decreased in the aims in box office total since the first Maze Runner film got over $345.5 million in box office.
   I rate this film a 17/20.
