Lampan Web Series Review: What an amazing show! Worth seeing
Guys, SonyLIV or I need good marketing a lot. I mean, our content is good, but people do not know about us. Well, amidst this environment, SonyLIV has come up with a new Marathi show named Lampan, which I have completed after watching, and now we are going to review this.

This piece was originally written in 2019 for a graduate school course. Some revisions were made. My first job when I was eighteen years old, wide eyed and bushy tailed and more than willing to do anything to prove myself. It did not matter that I was just working at an AMC, making minimum wage for far too much work and far too irregular schedules. I had to do my best at the job I was given. Sometimes, I put too much into. Way, way too much.
X-Men '97
X-Men ‘97 has been praised for more than just its nostalgia factor. Its classic writing and impressive reflection of the source material made fans declare this one of the MCU’s best projects. They filled a desperate gap as fans have been asking for the X-Men for about a decade now. I do believe their only mistake was how short this season was. With the newest declaration of Marvel Animation being assigned its own division of the MCU (which is always how it's worked by the way. There is no world that exists where tv, film and animation were done by the same people. It was always separate; the declaration does nothing but prove the public’s lack of knowledge about the industry.) We will hopefully see some more X-Men in the coming years. So here we are with the X-Men ‘97 finale.

When we last left our X-Men my sweet sweet Gambit was DEAD, somebody better fix that. Charles is alive and heading back to earth. I love that we are getting more Kurt. And my Storm has her powers back and she knows what happened to Genosha so theoretically she is headed back to the X-Men. The last couple of episodes were extremely emotional so I am hoping for a bit of a break but we now have to deal with the aftermath of Gambit’s death so we will see how that goes.

When we last left X-Men ‘97 lots of shit went down. Genosha and therefore the mutants were admitted into the UN. They are trying to convince us that Rogue and Magneto are a thing (which is super gross by the way) and we are still missing Storm. This now marks the halfway point for the 10 episode season.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished a day ago in GeeksRanking 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 a day 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.

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 2 days 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.
Best 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 2 days 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.
