    Addison Rae: He’s All That….

    On August 27, 2021, Singer and TikTok Star Addison Rae, debuted in her first Netflix film called He’s all that. 

    Rae, who has 84.7 Million of followers on Tiktok, was very excited to be given the opportunity she said to the paparazzi once the film streamed live. The film was filmed locally in Los Angeles, California and it was a remake of the old film named She’s all that, which debuted on January 28, 1999. They were sponsored by many companies, some being TikTok, Eos, and many more.

    Pagget, who is  a very popular influencer, bets with one of her friends that she can help one of her classmates into being the next prom king. This movie has accumulated numerous mixed emotions from watchers, but for the most part many people find it cringey. Many people including myself noticed some strange details from the movie one being when she’s allegedly passing out fliers, but isn’t. Not to mention, their green screen is so noticeable and poorly used. Some examples include when the character Laney Boggs is driving or when they’re having a party near the beach.

    On the other hand, some people pointed out how Rae’s ex boyfriend Bryce Hall also premieres in it and how one of her friends Kourtney Kardashian, does too. People were caught off guard that Kourtney came out in it since she hardly comes out in anything aside from her own family’s reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians. After the film, many people speculated if Rae and Hall began dating, since they got relatively close after the premiere. However, these rumors were false.

    Overall, the Netflix film is a love/hate movie for many people whether it be about the movie or just Rae herself, since she does find herself in many controversies. 

    Lastly, Netflix said that they signed a multi-movie deal with Rae, which is the start of a new career path for her.

  • TikTok at All Hours of the Clock

    With over 33 million downloads, TikTok has become a very popular media platform that has risen to the top. Although many people may say that it’s a cringey app, I think otherwise. Well at first I didn’t actually. I once found myself among the several people who would claim themselves to be against TikTok. I’ll admit, I would even judge the people around me, such as my friends whenever I would see them making or posting their videos.

    My obsession with TikTok began just like any other person who is now making videos on the platform. I only downloaded the app as a joke, not thinking I’ll find any pleasure in the content it provided. At first I wouldn’t go on the app very often and even almost uninstalled it at some point. However, after more and more of the people I look up to on YouTube began using it, I found myself following them and before I knew it, I couldn’t even bring myself to close the app.

    I may have published a couple videos at some point,but I don’t really enjoy making them as much as others. Moreover, I definitely don’t enjoy showing my face to a bunch of strangers. People such as y cousin and best friend may do it, but I think just having downloaded the app is plenty outside my comfort zone for me. All in all, while I may enjoy the people who make content on the app, but I can guarantee that I will never make any videos of myself dancing or following along with the weird trends that go around just at an attempt to go vial and become “TikTok famous” as they say.

    Sadly enough TikTok has consumed much of my life.There have been situations where I have been in the middle of conversations through text with people, and end up forgetting to reply to them because I get distracted with TikTok. There has even been a certain weekend where I accidentally found myself staying up till the sun rose all because I stayed up all night on TikTok. This is something I definitely did not do before TikTok.

    The impacts TikTok has left in my life have not been very good, and that is exactly why I have decided to give myself a break from it. I don’t go on it as much as I used to (although I do still use it more than other apps) but I feel better about it as well. I would definitely not recommend people to download it unless you want to get hooked. By the way this is a joke, I do still have a life.
