Something Resembling a Review of Iron Man 3

Talking Teen Wolf: Really they’re just messing with us at this stage

Last week was massive – we had the promo and the MTV Movie Awards and things were happening, like really happening, all over the place. This week they’re just messing with us.

Talking Teen Wolf: This will definitely hurt!

On Saturday the Teen Wolf tumblr teased that they would release a hint of the trailer that was soon to be screened. All they gave us was 7 seconds of wolfs bane blowing in the wind and three words: THIS MIGHT HURT, but it was enough to send the fandom into a frenzy. That’s nothing compare to when the actual teaser was released. You know what Teen Wolf – “This Might Hurt” is not an accurate enough assessment of that trailers effect because was already bloody hurting now it just feels like you pushed salt in the wound.

But in all seriousness, let’s talk about the Teen Wolf promos and the MTV Movies Awards.

Talking Teen Wolf: Pretty People Staring Intensely At Nothing

Those of you that frequent Pop Culture is Not Art might have noticed that I have become increasingly obsessed with a little MTV show called Teen Wolf.

Besides I get asked about Teen Wolf more than anything else so I figured you guys might a appreciate a column dedicated to the show. So that’s what this is, and this week it’s all about pretty people staring intensely at nothing.
