Book Review: "No Logo" by Naomi Klein
Naomi Klein is no doubt, a huge author and you're going to be quite surprised about the fact that I have actually barely read anything by her though I am aware of her existence. Her book No Logo is recommended reading in the book The Inner Level by Professors Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett and is about the way brands have aggressively waded themselves into every aspect of our existence.
Annie KapurPublished 8 days ago in GeeksSpellbound (1945)
As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.
Rachel RobbinsPublished 7 days ago in GeeksDeath of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.

Sylvester was a Merrie Melodies canine Sylvester, the Cat, is a beloved Looney Tunes character who debuted in March 1947 in the animated short Life with Feathers. The iconic Mel Blanc once said that he enjoyed voicing Sylvester, one of his favorite characters. The cartoon short that was near and dear to Blanc's heart was Bird's Anonymous which starred the popular cat.
Cheryl E PrestonPublished 25 days ago in GeeksHow Sailor Moon Impacted My Life
For 30 years, this cosmic crybaby has warmed the hearts of many people inspired others, and still never fails to give people, courage, strength, and love. You could throw a dart at any movie, TV Show, or author that Sailor Moon has inspired.
Samantha ParrishPublished about a month ago in Geeks5 Feelgood Stories Of Kids In The Entertainment Industry
Viewers everywhere are still reeling from the horrifying revelations in the recent documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids' TV. The depth of Producer Dan Schneider's inappropriate behaviour around the sets of his Nickelodeon TV shows is apalling, even more so the series of missed warnings and adult failures that led to then-child star Drake Bell's sexual abuse at the hands of his acting coach, Brian Peck.
Kristy AndersonPublished 2 months ago in GeeksThe Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.
Annie KapurPublished 2 months ago in GeeksMy Unpopular Literary Opinions
I have a vast amount of fairly unpopular literary opinions. From books that I feel have been overhyped to classics that I think are just people trying to sound intelligent without having any real value. From clichés and boring genres that take on no other form whatsoever to writers who are really not as great as everyone thinks they are. Here are some of my most unpopular literary opinions made flesh. I hope that you enjoy them and that we can maybe have a balanced discussion about it. (Also, please don't hate me. These are just opinions and are in no way representative of anything factual at all).

Ranking Buffy Big Bads
Buffy the Vampire Slayer fought many demons, vampires and forces of darkness but there was a particular “big bad” for each season. Some were actually bad and a few were just kind of a nuisance, so we are ranking them. Since we have finished discussing Buffy the Vampire Slayer season by season I thought that we would rank all of the Buffy “big bads”. Eventually might rank the Scoobies as well but let’s just do the bad guys for now.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished about 5 hours ago in GeeksRanking Franchises
While not every film needs to be a franchise there are some incredible stories that simply require it. Franchises do several things in terms of recognizability, obviously more films generally equals more money but generally speaking it also means more fleshed out content. Now for the purposes of this list we are defining a franchise as any IP with three films or more. We will be ranking them in terms of quality and I will not be taking notes. I will not be including the MCU for reasons of I want to keep this list to franchises that have 1 continuous story, though the MCU has a level of interconnectivity it most certainly does not do that.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes" marks a pivotal moment in the iconic franchise's history, breathing new life into the series while staying true to its roots. Directed by Rupert Wyatt and released in 2011, this film serves as both a reboot and a prequel to the original 1968 classic. With stunning visual effects, a compelling narrative, and standout performances, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" delivers a thought-provoking exploration of themes such as humanity, intelligence, and the consequences of scientific experimentation.
el hariti adilPublished about 11 hours ago in GeeksAmerican Splendor - A Movie Review
Every day is a brand new day. American Splendor evolved out of the comic pages into theaters in 2003. Harvey Pekar is a lonely curmudgeon who finds his spark in creating comics. To his surprise, the public reacts positively to his satirical comics. Pekar finds a calling and romance.
Marielle SabbagPublished about 12 hours ago in GeeksChronicles of the Demon Faction Chapter 70 (English) Release Date & Where to Read
The Chronicles of the Demon Faction manhwa series chapter - 69 was a more interesting chapter than the previous chapter. From the starting to the end, this chapter is very well crafted and fans enjoyed it so much. From the beginning of this chapter (chronicles of the demon faction chapter - 69), our protagonist overcomes his past and practices to master his new powers. There are many new obstacles coming in front of our protagonist, and he is preparing himself to deal with those upcoming hurdles.
Marvel Comics May Have Just Re-introduced The Perfect Villain For A Scarlet Witch Solo Movie
For years now, fans have expressed a desire for an MCU solo film for Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch. These desires increased after the success of the Disney Plus limited series WandaVision, and ever since, rumours have swirled that a film was in development.
Kristy AndersonPublished about 17 hours ago in GeeksBest Directors of All Time
When talking about film we have to talk about the people that make films possible. One of the most important elements of film is the direction. The director is responsible for essentially coordinating every other element in film. They have to take the words on the page and bring them to life for everyone in the production and for the audience. So who are some of the best directors of all time? Well there are plenty but we are going to narrow it down to 10. The criteria being how many movies they directed, quality level of said films, influence of style and recognizability. Other than that I don’t think that this list is going to be in any particular order.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished about 20 hours ago in Geeks9-1-1
9-1-1 is not a good show. I just want to be really clear because over the last month I have binged now 6 seasons of this show and it's not because the writing is brilliant, or even adequate. The storylines and cases are truly batshit and not in a soap opera way, so it's completely unjustifiable. However the character development and interpersonal relationships are not just good but likable, this makes the show watchable and enjoyable. Friendly reminder that I am here for gay firefighters and once I am caught up to the current season I will probably not be continuing with this show.
