Justus R. StonePublished 4 years ago in GeeksMovie Review Throwback: 'Fire Bird' Nicolas Cage Loves a Helicopter
If you thought silly almost parody levels of jingoistic patriotism was just a relic of 1980's action movies, you're not entirely wrong. That said, the genre of fetishistic love for American military might did linger a little ways into the 90's before we all started to fully tire of it. As evidence, here is Fire Birds, a 1990 love letter to American military might that doubles as a right wing thesis statement on how we could have won the war on drugs with super-cool, super-expensive helicopters.
Sean PatrickPublished 4 years ago in Geeks"The Pale King" by David Foster Wallace
This book is based on the mundane atmosphere of the everyday lifestyle of the common worker. It ranges from summaries from the IRS, snippets of the life of a man who profusely sweats, conversations between various people who work for the IRS, a man who is taking an examination and feels very anxious about it and so much more. Within the book, we get various interruptions from the author himself in which he tries to explain the difference between this book and a piece of nonfiction creative writing. He calls it “substantially true and accurate” (p.71) and explains it as a “nonfiction account (with) some slight changes and rearrangements” (p.72). Whereas, previously he had not actually referred to the changes and said that “all of this is true. This book is really true.” (p.69) and thus, we do not make note of the problems encountering fiction and nonfiction definition until later on in Chapter 9. But between characters like Lane Dean Jr, David Cusk, Leonard Stecyk and the unforgettable anxieties of Claude Sylvanshine - I honestly believe that this book is a piece of creative semi-autobiography where the only thing everyone has in common is their ability to work their way into the IRS from very different walks of life. The book admittedly, does not have a plot since David Foster Wallace left it unfinished and unedited. It is therefore raw and emotional in its nature of talking about the human psyche and our reaction towards the fact that life is really quite meaningless. The nihilism and the constant fear that is portrayed by nearly every character in the book is a great way of getting across the message that there are other things far better than being alive in the modern age.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in Geeks'Greenleaf' Ends With Season 5
In the midst of television shows shutting down production because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is one network that is getting ready to bring forth something brand new. Oprah Winfrey's OWN has announced that the fifth and final season of Greenleaf’ will premiere in June. Soap Opera fans are currently watching decades old classic episodes and have no idea when new programs will resume. Taping stopped in mid March for daytime drama and there is no time frame of when the hiatus will end. The fact that Greenleaf will bring forth a new season in a few weeks, would indicate that they were taping some time after season 4 ended in November 2019. This would have had to have been prior to mid March when the soaps ceased production and talk shows ditched having live audiences.

Gotta love the 90s
When it comes to writing stories, I look for ideas and references in family events or shows I have watched. I grew up in the 1980s so, watching a lot of cartoons like looney toons and sitcoms like Married with Children and Titus. Watching tv was my favorite thing to do as a kid. As I got older, I came across "Downtown" an animation tv series on MTV. I purchased Married with Children and Titus on DVD just in case my digital videos get deleted are damaged (which they did a year ago, and yes, I cried) I purchased "Downtown" later, I occasionally watch the DVD sitcoms because they help give me ideas for my stories. Maybe I should explain why I choose Married with Children, Titus, and Mtv Downtown. Let's start with Married with Children.

By Chris dos Santos This article was originally published on www.maketheswitch.com.au. In 2019, we live in an interesting time in terms of film marketing - using big names to push a film doesn’t really work anymore. Most people didn’t see ‘The Lion King’ because of Beyoncé; they saw it because of nostalgia. The term "A-list cast" is often thrown around, but doesn’t really have the same impact on audiences these days. Look at last year's ‘Ocean’s 8’: sure, it made money, but nowhere near what was expected. Even The Rock has lost his box office draw with films like ‘Rampage’, ‘Skyscraper’ and even ‘Fighting with my Family’ all falling below studio expectations, despite aggressive marketing campaigns that pushed the star. Even outside of Disney and Marvel (even Disney can’t bank on "big names" - look no further than ‘A Wrinkle in Time’), it’s clear that audiences are looking for familiar stories and not names as much as they used to. Directors also used to be a huge selling point, and with the exception of possibly Jordan Peele, this marketing scheme is another lost trade. James Cameron is aggressively still trying to do this; I don’t think I saw an ‘Alita: Battle Angel’ trailer that didn’t feature him yelling at you to see the film in 3D. There is only one director, at least in my mind, that can really use their name to sell a film - and that’s Quentin Tarantino.
