Cheryl E PrestonPublished 13 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 19 days 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 about a month 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 about a month 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).

Jonathan ApolloPublished about 2 hours ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Fall Guy"
The Fall Guy is a fun action romantic comedy that just came out in 2024. Its concept is relatively simple but there's a lot of fun in the background with this movie. When I first saw the trailer for this movie it looked like a really fun romp and technically I think it starts this summer's blockbuster movies.

The Summer of 1977 stands tall in the memories of my childhood. And, I hazard to say, that the experience I shared one afternoon with my family changed the course of my life in ways that some might consider silly or overblown.

Ayush VermaPublished about 21 hours 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.
