Paranormal Activity 3, the new sort of scare Revised

After reading "Cool?... Or Calculated? The Ad Campaign for 'Paranormal Activity 3'" By Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman and actually seeing Paranormal Activity 3, the subject matter of the blog, I both agree and disagree with the authors ideas of the film and its Ad Campaign. The authors use the example that the ad campaign uses visuals in the campaign that are not in the same sequence or even in the film. The authors allude that this makes the film appear to be more frightening that it really is. I saw these ad's and was frightened from just those, needless they impart intrigued me to go see the film, however it was not in full, I also went to see the film because of the other Paranormal Activity movies. Although I did notice that the advertised visuals were not all used or in sequence I did not think that this made the movie any less scary, or that the advertisements made the movie seem anymore that it really is. The article says that they are "hiding" the actual "jolts" of the movie by their "fake" ad campaign and deem it as "unfair". Rather I find this rather smart, they producers of Paranormal Activity have simply mastered the ability of marketing without giving the "jolts" of the movie away.

Noun + Wife (revised)

After Reading Here come the Baseball Wives ,I was yet again astounded by reality TV.  There's been Wives of this county and Basketball Wives when in general it’s just a bunch of rich angry women causing drama with each other living off of their husbands money.  That is not entertainment, its putting on Television the decline of Feminism. Sure every girl would dream to dress beautifully and do nothing but tan all day, however were not Barbie’s. We have brains and abilities to do anything.These women should do something productive with their lives, and that is not causing drama with the other shallow dependent women in their lives.

The article states that this Noun + Wife are just a new genre of generally bad television. I totally agree with this. "We bask in the schadenfreude of each addiction, divorce, foreclosure, argument, bankruptcy, and drunken mistake. Is this unfair? Is this shallow? Is it biased? Yes, yes, and yes. Does that stop us? No." The article also states the previous line, which better proves the degrade of feminism, television viewers are so obsessed with beautiful non-working women that even if it’s a generally terrible show, we are drawn to it.
