'No Time To Die' Might Be Releasing Summer 2021
MGM and Universal are reportedly considering a summer 2021 release for the latest Bond film, No Time to Die. The fifth film to feature Daniel Craig as the iconic MI6 agent, it was initially slated to be released last April. However, the initial onset of the pandemic compelled the studios to delay the theatrical release by seven months, slating it for a November release date. With the world being as it is right now, it is possible that November could still be too soon to release a big film such as this.

When the Disney+ platform published the release schedule for August, a much anticipated MCU title was conspicuously left off of the updated list. The show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was going to see Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) step into leading roles with these characters. The two would continue the chemistry established between them in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. This show was slated to become one of the first by Marvel Studios on the streaming platform.
Culture SlatePublished 4 years ago in GeeksFirst Impressions of Peacock, the Newly Launched Streaming Service from NBCUniversal
Last Wednesday, July 15, NBCUniversal launched its own streaming service, Peacock, which offers over 200,000 hours of content. When the name was first announced, it was the subject of much ridicule. On top of that, avid subscribers of Netflix were unhappy that some of their favorite shows such as The Office (US) would be taken off of Netflix in January 2021 so that they could be exclusive to Peacock. In the age of streaming services, some consumers even feel that there are too many, with the launch of HBO Max on May 27 being fairly recent.

Rich BurtonPublished 4 years ago in Geeks"Barkskins" by Annie Proulx
“Barkskins” by Annie Proulx, the writer of “Brokeback Mountain” and “The Shipping News” has often been described as ‘bold and visionary’ or ‘energetic’ with hints of ‘uncompromising splendour’ and ‘extraordinary power’ by various reviews. The reason for these powerful adjectives in use here is primarily because of the way in which nature is depicted throughout the novel. The novel centres around nature as the destruction of the forests seems to be the main point of concern throughout the entire novel for almost every generation of character and yet, the characters cannot seem to stop the violent push-backs that nature is giving them with brute force. Much like the push-back of the natural world in “Frankenstein” when the doctor tries to work nature to his own plans, “Barkskins” demonstrates that humans are a minor part of the natural landscape and however long we are here, the landscape will outlive us, it will be more powerful than we are and ultimately, it will always be above us in ways we could never comprehend. A sublime take on the destruction of the forest, this book seeks out characters who live and die by harvesting wood and ultimately they pay great prices for it. The natural world does not though, just include the forest areas, it also includes the natural landscape, the weather and the way in which night and day are described as being different atmospheres to different characters at different times.

One of the earliest recollections I have as a teenager took place more than 45 years ago, probably due to the 1974 miner’s strike and the “three-day week” which interrupted lessons at our school. For some reason I can’t recall we were sent to the youth club attached to the school premises, where staff had set up a screen for us to watch a movie.
Steve HarrisonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum"
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is a movie that I wanted to watch but I also didn't want to watch at the same time. I loved the first two John Wick movies but the second movie ended on such a dire situation. It was so crazy that I didn't think anything could be done to the third one that would help John Wick get out of his horrible predicament without seeming absolutely absurd. I sort of wanted to end my memories of John Wick with the second one because I wanted to remember him on a high point. I eventually caved in after some coaxing from friends.

The mayor's office that same day. The walls are lined with many achievements from both Weldon City and the Mayor himself. A paper showing the Mayor shaking hands with an older gentleman as they are smiling and holding a check between the two of them is framed up on the wall. The headline reads “Dr. Jericho pledges to help Mayor Charlie clean up local parks.”

Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in Geeks“Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo
It’s been a long time since I first read “Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo and I am going to be perfectly honest with you that I was about fourteen when I first tackled it. I kept a notebook with all the characters and how they interacted with each other. I had a flowchart as well and after two weeks or so I had finished the book. Again, I’m not going to pretend that I found it easy - I sat there with a dictionary some of the time and mostly I was kind of scratching my head over some of the concepts. It was definitely a difficult read and when I had finished the book, I felt a sense of massive accomplishment that I hadn’t felt before. I felt like I’d done something a lot of people don’t do at 14, no matter how long it took me. The book actually changed my perception of French History and really got me into studying the revolutions in France. I read a multitude of books on the French Revolutionary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars and the June Rebellion after that. The history of the book was absolutely electrifying. It really made you want to get up and seek out a revolution.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in Geeks‘The Bold and The Beautiful ‘ may make more use of Giardino and the beach
When The Bold and the Beautiful returns to the air with new episodes, viewers might notice they are seeing more outdoor action. Brad Bell has not mentioned this when discussing the new normal but it’s highly likely that it will take place. Eric Braeden who portrays Victor Newman on sister soap The Young and the Restless shared something on Facebook that brings up this possibility. The soap vet said that Y&R would be taping more outdoor scenes in Chancellor Park and the Newman stables to assist with social distancing. It’s not very realistic to have everyone visiting Victor’s horses or lounging in the park.
