Don't Pay To See "Paranormal Activity"

So after watching Paranormal Activity I've come to realize how lame horror movies are. The entire movie I felt as if I was watching a YouTube video that you know something is going to pop up, so you lower the volume and sit there squirming waiting for it to pop out. Yeah, this movie is just that. For about an hour and a half your just siting in your seat waiting for anything to happen and nothing good ever happens. I'm not going to lie. There were some tense moments but none of it mattered since nothing fucking happened. If I wanted to see two mentally retarded twenty-somethings talk about shit I really don't give a flying fuck about I would have gone to a Starbucks. The only thing frightening about this movie is the fact that people buy into the hype and go see shit like this. Now, I know what your thinking “But Joe didn't you go see this movie, in turn buying into the hype?”. Yes and no. I was told from a (formally) reliable source that it was a fun and scary movie. So it was not the hype machine of the studio that got me to go see it. It was the hype machine of people who fell into the hype machine that got me to, in turn, fall into another hype machine of people who hate hype machines falling into hype machines because of people who fell into the original hype machine. Yes I know, its convoluted to the layman's brain, but in the world in my brain, it make sense.
