Margaret Mitchell: author of Gone With the Wind
Margaret Mitchell only wrote one novel that anyone has ever heard about, but that one (“Gone With The Wind”) was enough to make her name universally known, not least because of the blockbuster motion picture that was made from the story.

Book Review: "Men Who Hate Women" by Laura Bates
Before I read this book, I definitely had heard of Laura Bates before. Like other feminists that have since become more and more famous by the day - she has become steeped in the culture of female liberation from the very beginning. Since then, she has started to climb the ladder of being a person who is qualified to speak about gender and sex related issues but from time to time I will not lie and say that I don’t worry about the way in which she presents herself as an academic writer of ‘essays’. Be that as it may, there are many good arguments within this book that too, deserve extra attention for their ability to not create a binary of Men vs. Women but show how the two are equally disadvantaged by the upholding of these blatantly sexist ideas that are held by the groups in question within the text.

Snaggletooth is the best cosplayer you haven’t heard of.
One of the more unique cosplay accounts on Instagram you can follow is @snaggletoothu. While other cosplayers are all doing the same trendy character of the moment, Snaggletooth is more likely to be digging up a character from Blade Runner to portray. She can sing, play the guitar and paint. She describes herself as 5"6', 130lbs and mostly muscle. She practices for live action role play battles by going up against guys twice her size and weight. And for some reason she was terrified to talk to me. But hey, bravery isn’t having no fear, it’s being afraid and acting anyway. Conversation below has been lightly edited for clarity.

Scott and Liesl should be taken seriously on ‘ General Hospital’
Scott Baldwin and Liesl Obrecht have the makings of a true super couple if the GENERAL HOSPITAL writers take them in the proper direction. Right now they are cute together and just beginning to get to know one another. Ken Shriner is 67 and Kathleen Gati 63.They are members of a generation that is much in need of representation on daytime. There is a lot of emphasis on the youth on daytime television but mature couples should be shown as being romantic as well. There was a time when the older couples were the staples of the soaps.

My Review of "Tenet"
Tenet was one of the most anticipated movies of 2020. It came out with a bunch of mixed reviews that discouraged me from watching the movie. I heard it was over bloated and pretentious. By now I should know not to take movie critic reviews so seriously since it's all a matter of perspective. The root thing about a movie is if it can entertain me. I can gladly tell you that I was able to enjoy my time watching this movie.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Many people loved the movie Black Panther in no small part due to the performance of Chadwick Boseman. From his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War, through his own film, the Avengers films, and the upcoming What If? Series on Disney +, Boseman owned the role. Not only was he an excellent actor, he also had the look and the presence to carry the role as the King of Wakanda and superhero Avenger.
