As the third film in the series, V/H/S: Viral runs the risk of taking a good thing too far. Featuring stories that feel like they’ve forced camera footage in them to stick to the over-arcing theme, is it time to end the franchise now? The returning horror anthology this time has a connecting story that features a car chase, with a camera obsessed boyfriend chasing an ice cream van which appears to have stolen the love of his life. As we get a few minutes of this story at a time, we then skip off to some other stories that tend to make a little more sense.

The V/H/S franchise’s overarching idea is the concept that like David Cronenberg’s Videodrome posits, the video image can corrupt on a biological level, the grainy images and muffled sound can somehow change a person. This isn’t just something which happens in the world of these films though, as in the majority of cases, it also affects the filmmakers involved, allowing them to wallow in the more tired tropes of cinematic horror, along with its fixation on objectifying women, and as a result, make some of the worst stuff of their careers.

HollywoodNews.com: On the recent Sat exams, students found themselves facing a topic that wasn’t in the books, but more so on their TVs.

Angela Garcia, executive director of the Sat program, reportedly said that the question was relevant because it is pop culture for these students and just a prompt to grade their writing skills.

Do you think the question is fair or unfair?

Photo via MTV.com.On the message board CollegeConfidential.com, anxious teenagers (and probably a few really well-prepared toddlers) bemoaned one of the Sat test’s essay prompts: “How authentic can [reality] shows be when producers design challenges for the participants and then editors alter filmed scenes?” High-schoolers who do not watch reality television did not think it was a fair question. They are wrong, though, and will be penalized one-quarter points. “It’s really about pop culture as a reference point that they would certainly have an opinion on,” Angela Garcia, executive director of the Sat, told The New York Times. That may be true, but some of these reading comprehensive questions seem so specific.
