An Anime Review of 'BNA'
BNA or Brand New Animal is an original twelve episode anime that was produced by Studio Trigger. The same studio behind Kill la Kill and the fantastic Promare. This was a show that I was excited to watch as a result of the studio that was behind its creation, however my excitement for the show was slightly dampened as a result of hearing that it would be released through Netflix worldwide. Which means that there is a good chance that one would have to wait at least half a year from the time the show is airing in order to actually see it if you are living outside of Japan, which is the case I found myself in.

Cyn's WorkshopPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy Vs. The Reverend"
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy Vs. The Reverend is an interactive adventure exclusive on Netflix. It's pretty interesting to see Netflix innovate with their programming by allowing interactive films on their streaming source. I'm sure this might be one of the pioneering films of this sort. Although I think it this option might be better catered to children than an adult audience.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Expendables 3"
The Expendables 3 came out back in 2014 and I honestly can't tell you why it took me this long to finally see this one. I've seen the first two Expendables movies and they were okay movies. They weren't anything to write home about but I kind of remember liking them way back when they first came out. Well that's a really blurry memory so maybe I didn't enjoy them quite as much as I remember.

Lena BaileyPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe fall of the impractical jokers crew
I’ve always been a very opinionated person made even more so with the fact I have autism (aspergris specifically) and while many people hated me for it but I found this website and a chance to do my dream. so with that where do I begin with this, first off I may be a minority here but I DONT think the impractical jokers are funny anymore, I mean they were hilarious in there early shows, but as time went on they just devolved.

Taping is halted again Trial and error seems to be the name of the game as daytime drama programs deal with life going forward after the pandemic. The Bold and the Beautiful resumed taping on Wednesday June 17, according to Soaps She Knows after a hiatus since the middle of March. Everything was halted, however, after that one day and the CBS soap will begin taping again on Tuesday June 23. This is uncharted territory and a lot of new rules have now come into play. The powers that be want to get everything in order so that their cast can be tested for COVI-19 and the show can go on. No date has been given as to when viewers can expect to see new episodes on the air, but last week executive producer Brad Bell teased it may only be a few weeks.

Cyn's WorkshopPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Adventures of Penny Dreadful
The Adventures of Penny Dreadful, Vol. 2 – Short Stories Story Six: Memory I didn’t originally plan to be a super-hero. I was just a kid figuring out the world every day based on what I found when I woke up. That’s the odd part about being born first, though. You get typecast, even before you get to read the script. The royal mantle of the firstborn – gets its purple color as soon as there’s another baby in the house. You automatically look really grown up to your parents when there’s somebody smaller and more helpless than you. Add natural curiosity and physical vitality, running and balancing and climbing up on things at an early age, imitate the parent’s words without being distracted by the baby talk of other kids your own age around you, and you look like a natural prodigy.
Dreadful Fan Fiction
Dreadful Fan Fiction or How I became a writer A penny dreadful (also called penny horrible, penny awful,[1] penny number and penny blood[n 1]) was a type of British fiction publication in the 19th century that usually featured lurid serial stories appearing in parts over a number of weeks, each part costing an (old) penny. The term, however, soon came to encompass a variety of publications that featured cheap sensational fiction, such as story papers and booklet "libraries". The penny dreadfuls were printed on cheap pulp paper and were aimed primarily at working class adolescents.[3]
