"Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle: Glee and Pastiche" by Robert Sickels
http://flowtv.org/2010/12/reduce-reuse-and-recycle/
The once-breathlessly pleasurable practice of inserting sly
intertextual references may be reaching the point of oversaturation as
evidenced by the current season of Fox's Glee.

"Fairly Normal Activity: Horror and the Static Camera" by Janani Subramanian
http://flowtv.org/2010/12/fairly-normal-activity/
When "nothing is happening" in Paranormal Activity 1 and 2, the empty
room scenes as captured by static cameras in the franchise become
suspenseful moments of audience reflexivity.
