My hours spent searching the world wide web daily have just been saved thanks to the RRS News feed system Fe
edly. Feedly lets you the user subscribe free to websites you frequent daily. These websites appear on your feed always updating their top stories. The great part about Feedly is that you can connect multiple websites to your RRS feed that way you can just use your mouse to scroll through the most recent stories from all your favourite websites without having to actually go from site to site!
An item of interest from my reader today is the article from the NY Times Movies feed. This article states that Ride Along 2 is the top box office movie, which is odd considering the recent Oscar drama. The Oscars have again drawn attention for not being diverse enough when it comes to the nominees. Ride Along 2 is a movie aimed at African-Americans and Hispanics. Ride along 2 has finally beat out star wars for the top box office of the week. Kevin Hart and the fact that the movie is a comedy can be a key contributing factor to this.
This article interested me because I recently read the article previously hyperlinked about the Oscars not giving attention to non-whites. This movie may be the start of change for the Oscars since it beat out movies (including the possible film of the year Star Wars) with a staring cast of Non-whites. Either way this article was brief but touched on issues of racism and acceptance in society today in the Hollywood perspective.
