Blog Entry 6

Recently when searching for an article for my fourth annotated bibliography, I stumbled upon a growing trend that I have witnessed.  Movies are becoming more and more violent and racy with each passing year.  And because these films need trailers, the trailers have followed side by side in terms of violence, lanuage, etc.

With all the strict regulations by the MPAA or Motion Picture Association of America, studios are using innovative methods to reach their intended audience, as explained by Becky Ebenkamp in her article "Movie Mantra: Happy Trailers to You, Until We Bleep Again." The Internet, cellular phones, and satellite radio are the most popular methods of showing adult rated trailers to the general public. This makes me wonder if there will ever be a limit to how much can be shown in feature films and movie trailers, themselves.
