Paranormal Activity 4 Coming This Fall

Paranormal Activity was a box office destroyer, and major inducer of fear across the globe. However, the ending left audiences confused, shocked, and angry. As if it wasnt obvious after those final moments of the film, another Paranormal Activity movie was coming. The wait for the new film wont be long apparently, as it is set to be released on October 19th of this year. Because this is the fourth installment of the franchise, many fans are starting to wonder if its just become a cash cow for the producers, but producer Oren Peli insists that they would never make a sequel just for the sake of making another one, and they have big plans for this movie. There is little known about the installment, and this may not even be the last one. I guess we'll have to wait longer for that information, but they specifically guarantee that Kierra Shumway will be absolutely horrified, along with the rest of the worlds population. I cant wait to pee my pants like a little girl, and love every second of it.

Greeces' Future In Jeopardy...Again



Greece hasn't had the best economy lately. Actually, in Europe, it's been at the bottom for quite some time now. With hyperinflation, riots, and a lack of food, medicine, and oil, Greece is headed for complete disaster. Greece may have to leave the Euro currency and return to its old form, the drachma. It is seen that three things could happen: Greece could voluntarily leave, Euronations could eject them, or it could happen on accident, due to the failing banks that they depend so desperately upon. The first option wouldn't be too bad. Greece would refuse to pay its debts, essentialy sending its debt back down to zero. Sounds pretty great, huh? However Greece would stop receiving bailout funds, and the government would eventually run out of funds to pay what little workers they have, which will eventually result in civil riots or even war. If they were to get kicked out, they would lose funds and still have to pay debt, so that option is out. If they are forced to use the drachma, they would have to issue them practically over night, and have to close off borders to stop travelers to make sure they had the correct currency. Not only would the drachma plummet drastically in value, but import prices would soar up, causing Greece to have to print more money, which in turn would cause possibly the worst case of inflation in history. Annie K better pray for her nation, because their in a sticky sitch as of right now.

Avengers Assemble The Cash in Record Smashing Speed

 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 raked in 169.2 million dollars during its   debut. This was an astonishing feat, and set very high standards. This weekend record was eaten, spit up, and swept under the rug by Joss Whedons' "The Avengers". The Marvel superhero mix up earned 200.3 million in its United States debut. The film, which I personally loved, opened a week earlier in Europe, so its one week earnings was just over 641 million. the film cost 220 million to make, so I think 421 million dollars of profit in a week is a little impressive. Not only has it been sucessful with audiences, but critics love it. the film recieved only positive reviews, and has even cracked the top 250 on IMDB. Not only did it make the cut, it made the top 25. The star studded cast, the fantastic plot, and  the previous film build ups and tie ins made for this to be a comic book lovers dream.

Junior Seau Death May Not Be Coincidence o.O

 
On wednesday, former NFL star Junior Seau put a bullet into his chest and died. The 12 time pro-bowl attending linebacker was only 43. Not only is this an extremly saddening piece of news, but it also seems to be a strange trend. Ever since the San Diego Chargers appeared in the super bowl in 1994, players from that team seem to dying rather frequently. Seau is now the eighth member to pass away, all of which have been under the age of 45. In 2011, defensive tackle Shawn Lee died of cardiac arrest, and linebacker Lew Bush died of a heart attack. Three years prior to that, center Curtis Whitley and defensive end Chris Mims were also found dead. The supossed "curse" began five months after the super bowl when linebacker David Griggs, drunk, drove his speeding car off of an expressway. Griggs was just 28. Not even a year later, and Rodney Culver, 26 year old running back died in a plane crash, and in 1998, lightning struck linebacker Doug Miller, who was also 28. With a list like that, it becomes a pretty spooky coincidence that isn't to be taken lightly.
