Time to Find Some New Schitt
Here's the thing, I spend MUCH more time in my little bed in my humble abode with Netflix than I do with any human love interest per se. More often than not, I'm in a version of reclined with a laptop or phone perched up on my chest; I've got my hands in bowls of something or other that are bolstering me on either side and I've got a drink nearby with a straw for easy hydration access. It's the modern romance; I'm living the dream, amirite?

Steven LeitmanPublished 3 years ago in GeeksWho I would cast if "I am the Messenger" were a film
I am the Messenger is one of my favorite books of all time. Author Markus Zusak published it in Australia as The Messenger in 2002, and then it was released in America as I am the Messenger. Including this title, he has three books published in the United States. The other two being the Book Thief and Bridge of Clay.

Clearly, the master of filmmaking, Christopher Nolan understands the phenomena of creating a film with something that excels at weaving complicated storylines while giving birth to captivating characters and their complexities.“The Dark Knight Rises” is the last installment of his series, and he ensured that it lives up to the highest expectations. And he continues to root it in the series's positions of young and elderly actors. Although we had our concerns on whether the film would be able to equal the success of the previous two sequels, the findings helped us rethink our previous evaluations.
Emailia DavidPublished 3 years ago in GeeksGreat Love Stories For Valentine's Day
This Valentine's Day ,one of the best romantic movies that you can watch is "The Notebook". "The Notebook" is a very romantic movie that you can watch anytime. However , when I first watched it with a man, I watched it on Valentine's Day as our first date and I thought it was kind of perfect for Valentine's Day, at least it was for our relationship. What I loved about it was I really thought Allie and Noah were just the cutest . They had this relationship to where they could joke around with each other and they made each other laugh .Oh my gosh could they fight, but after all the time that they spent apart they could end up back in each other's arms and is that not what a loving relationship is all about ? Fighting, spending time apart , but being able to just come back together. That is the same reason that I like to watch the choice on Valentine's Day .

Annie KapurPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMoxie(2021)- Review
"In some ways, a lot has changed and, in some ways, nothing has changed at all." Amy Poehler recently used this line while promoting the Netflix movie she has directed and starred in. The above line fits quite perfectly with the premise of the film. There is a high school that acknowledges and is aware of the wider societal issues but nonetheless does not fully understand or execute them. The students are rampant in carrying out activities they deem unharming, with ignorance running wide among teachers and the principal alike. In this backdrop, Vivian (Hadley Robinson) finds herself enraged and wanting to do something about the toxic and dilapidating culture at her school. After getting inspired by her mother, Lisa (Amy Poehler), and her rebellious past, the shy & quiet Vivian takes matters into her own hands initially starting a zine and ultimately driving a school-wide revolution.
The Couch ReviewPublished 3 years ago in GeeksTurning the Trope of Overpowered Women
Going into this series I had my doubts, Wanda is one of very many characters in the comics that suffers from an “Overpowered Women” trope. The main requirements for this trope are A. The female hero is only considered overpowered when she is also considered mentally and/or emotionally unstable B. Once she returns to a “stable” state of mind she loses access to her new found powers and occasionally C. When in her overpowered state the woman is also seen as villianouness or evil (not a requirement for the trope, simply a trend I’ve found). The first half of the season seemed like they were leaning hard into this trope but by the end of the series they turned this overused, sexist trend in comics and made it empowering.
