- Third Place in Dinner Party Challenge
Forcing My Fave Celebs To Play A Real-Life Game of Clue
So in high school, I tried (and failed) to throw a murder mystery dinner party for my 18th birthday. Keep in mind, I was a proud theatre geek with an overactive imagination and very few friends. I had a guest list and outline of a script ready, but for some reason, the murder mystery never came to be. Paying for a theatre troupe to come and throw a murder mystery party at my house seemed ridiculous, so I just spent my 18th doing a normal person birthday party. And it was BORING.
Kathryn MilewskiPublished 4 years ago in Geeks Disney is being sued by Kelly Knievel
Kelly Knievel, son of famous daredevil Evel Knievel has filed a lawsuit against the Disney and Pixar companies, claiming they used his dad's likeness without permission. Evel Knievel was known for his skills at doing what no one else had done before him. His daredevil stunts cost him many broken bones and hospital stays. Two of his most famous motorcycle jumps were at Wembley and Kings Island. On May 26, 1975, Knievel crashed in front of 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium in London. He was trying to land a jump over "13 redundant single-deck AEC Merlin buses." He refused a stretcher and said that he had walked in and was going to walk out. He added that he was retiring but that was short-lived.
Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide to: "Strangers on a Train" (1951)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksTired of Transphobic Tropes
JK Rowling recently released the sixth book under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith, ‘Troubled blood’. A fitting name for a novel with an indeed troubling message. The Telegraph first summarised the overriding moral of the book as ‘never trust a man in a dress.’ Pair this sentiment with Rowling’s raging track record of Transphobia and I’m sure you can understand how this gets problematic…
Megan HillPublished 4 years ago in GeeksHarry Potter Opinions…. Popular, and not so Popular
#1 Ron and Hermionie….why did they end up married? I love this, so I would have loved their story allot better if they would have started dating earlier in book 5 let’s say. And giving more depth in them navigating a dating relationship, navigating with breakups, and the evolution of them through it all. All of this would have been great for the young adult example of life. And getting all of them married to other main characters, not such a great plot in my own opinion. It seems that J.K.Rowlling admitted in an interview that she has always built Hermionie as an image of herself, and Ron’s character was formed in the image of a childhood friend. So probably this is why she made them end up married, and not in the most popular way people were thinking it will end with Hermionie and Harry.

Culture SlatePublished 4 years ago in GeeksFlea Market Marvel
My parents always taught me to donate things we no longer want or need to people who will benefit from them. However, about four years ago I had done some Spring cleaning and decided that I wanted to try to sell some of my stuff because a lot of my clothes still had tags on them.
Steffy's aggression goes to the next level on 'The Bold and the Beautiful'
Anyone who has ever dealt with a loved one who was in the throes of addiction knows how traumatic it can be. On The Bold and the Beautiful, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood's portrayal of Steffy Forrester on prescription painkillers is right on point. The mood swings, denial, false accusations, irrational behavior, lying, and violence is being done in an accurate manner. Steffy even truthfully admitted the reasons for her pain, both physical and emotional. She never got over losing both Beth and Liam to Hope and now believes Lope is trying to take Kelly away from her as well.
