What to anticipate When You are Expecting Will get a Trailer for that Marginalized-Lady Era

I understand i was kinda just speaking relating to this, but in a time when women's privileges and representation are threatened at apparently every turn by bureaucrats, ideologues, campaign bankers and bald-faced misogynists, how foreseeable should it happen to be the new trailer for What to anticipate When You are Expecting - the very best-selling, most influential maternity guide within the known world - would marginalize the particular moms and concentrate almost positioned on the men? Don't change, Hollywood! Really, yes. Maybe change just a little. In justness to Lionsgate, the final time the marketing team went full chick-flick, we've got a number of posters which had the bodysnark-averse experts at Jezebel "hypnotized through the Foam protuberances they shoved underneath the stars' t shirts." To Plan B, as with "Boy": What is the worst that come of using Chris Rock, Dennis Quaid, Thomas Lennon, Matthew Morrison, Rodrigo Santoro yet others to experience in the fatherhood side from the equation? On second thought, using the male 1 / 2 of the ensemble mugging and contorting opposite various expressions of hysteria and breaking off one-inserts mentioning aside from the stroller walk "where happiness would go to die," let us not answer that. To not overthink the unthinkable, or unthought-out, or whatever. However with a lot cynicism and garish guy-centricity in mid-air at this time, this trailer appears just aloof at best as well as in appallingly, almost absurdly bad taste at worst. However, you let me know? [via Yahoo!] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

European Study Eyes Tie Between Movie Alcohol Exposure & Teen Binge Drinking

A new survey of teenagers in 6 European countries has concluded that the link between alcohol use in movies and binge drinking is robust and significant. The study, led by Dr Reiner Hanewinkel from Germanys Institute for Therapy and Health Research, polled more than 16,000 kids at public schools in Germany, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Scotland. While the countries have differing alcohol control policies, cultural contexts were found to have little impact on the results, leading researchers to believe that alcohol use in movies is an independent risk factor for initiation of potentially harmful patterns of drinking in youth. For the study, exposure to on-screen booze use was calculated by summing up the number of alcohol occurrences in each movie the students had seen on a randomly-generated list of 50 local box office hits. The kids were then asked how often theyd had 5 or more drinks of alcohol on one occasion – which would classify as binge drinking. The study found that 40% of those with the most alcohol exposure had binged compared to 10-20% of those with some of the lowest exposure. The researchers did allow, however, that while some studies have revealed an association between movie alcohol exposure and youth drinking, the evidence is sparse. The results come shortly after a recent US study led by a Dartmouth Medical School professor which found that high movie alcohol exposure was the 3rd biggest risk for the onset of drinking and the 4th factor in the progression to binge drinking.
