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 10 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 10 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 27 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).

Book Review: "Rewired" by Carl D. Marci
Yes, I am still reading political philosophy and social sciences and I am still learning about a bunch of different things. Have I doom-read myself into oblivion? Also, yes. I am fully convinced that the world is going to complete and utter rubbish because of a group of factors that are too easily allowed to roll in and push our society off the edge of the metaphorical cliff. Take a look through my recent posts if you want to know more about what I've been reading but Rewired is by no means the first I've read on the topic of social media addiction - though that seems to be the theme of the day in most outlets of news and media.

Life hits us when we least expect it, but that doesn’t mean the experience cannot be enjoyable. To paraphrase the protagonists of Under Parallel Skies, life happens in these little transitions.

PART ONE: AN INTRODUCTION Try to remember the kind of September, When life was slow and oh, so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September, When grass was green and grain was yellow.

Jacob HerrPublished about 14 hours ago in GeeksPro Wrestling is Cyclical
Professional Wrestling is cyclical. It will have periods where it is worth watching and others where it isn't. Triple H has done a much better job than I thought he would as a boss. Cody vs Roman this past Wrestlemania was amazing. The lead-up was amazing. The Rock went from beloved WWE superstar to psychotic Heel.
DJ RobbinsPublished about 14 hours ago in Geeks'X-Men '97' Just Quietly Resolved One Of The Biggest Cartoon Cliffhangers Of The 90s
WARNING! SPOILERS for X-Men '97, 'Tolerance Is Extinction', parts one through three. The 90s were a golden era for superhero cartoons, with shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Spider-Man: The Animated series, the iconic original X-Men animated series, and many more aired during this time frame. While many episodes of such shows were self-contained, some featured two-part stories, and a few were even serialized in nature. Unfortunately, cartoon series at the time were often cancelled with little warning, and as a result, some left unresolved cliffhangers.
Kristy AndersonPublished about 19 hours ago in GeeksEvery Non-MCU Marvel Film, Ranked and Explained (Part One)
No matter how anyone feels about it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest properties in pop culture today, and it will likely stay that way for a very long time to come. That being said, the MCU wasn't always the near-exclusive home for live-action adaptations of fans' favorite comic book characters. Like so many other products of their time, some of the most classic Marvel heroes had a place for themselves on the silver and small screens long before the rise of shared multimedia universes as they stand today.
John DodgePublished a day ago in GeeksMrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
I’m not just doing this because I share a birthday with Virginia Woolf. ‘Mrs Dalloway’ happens to be one of the greatest books of realism written in that half of the 20th century. Woolf was known as the seminal author of the genre and, throughout her formative years of writing, she penned some of the most well-known books on the topic of existing that we as readers have ever read. Even though my favourite novel by Virginia Woolf is the madness-induced ‘Jacob’s Room’, I recognise the importance of ‘Mrs Dalloway’ as one of those novels that you have to admit is slightly better by objectivity. Putting personal opinion aside, let us step back into the world of Clarissa Dalloway - the woman who decided to buy the flowers herself that day.
