Ally McleanPublished 4 years ago in Geeks"War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy
I first read “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy when I was fourteen years’ old. It took me a while because on hand, I would have a notebook in order to write down how characters were related to each other, words I would look up in the dictionary and concepts I didn’t really understand upon first reading - prompting me to read the book again. The way in which I discovered the book was through the school library. The school library had the book in volumes, but only volume 1-3 was available and so, I had to seek out a full version of the book myself. I had read the blurb to the first three volumes and was convinced that this, though a long read, was going to change my life forever. By the age of fifteen, I was re-reading the book in order to get a better grasp of the characters and concepts and I had noticed that this book had changed my entire opinion on how war impacts human beings. Back then, I understood bits and pieces about PTSD of course, but when it came to people who weren’t soldiers, but just regular people - I never knew that they too, could be that far done by war. It was like staring into the soul of a group of people who were constantly nervous that one day, they would have to pack up and leave everything behind. They would have to run away from the approaching army in order to spare their own lives. It is quite emotional really.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in GeeksFinding Hidden Gems to Binge
This was a tough article to write, mainly because all I seem to watch are Hidden Gems that get cancelled too soon or don't get the the ending they deserved. However, there are also those shows that I am eagerly awaiting a following season for. So here, I'm giving a shutout to three shows that are definitely binge worthy in lockdown.
General Hospital and Days of Our Lives may triumph over CBS soaps
Fans of the CBS soaps The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless are currently in a honeymoon phase. They are enjoying the trips down memory lane through the classic episodes but at some point reality will kick in. Timing is everything and if the daytime drama programs do not soon resume production there will be trouble. If viewers are not soon given new episodes, it's possible soap lovers will become restless. Daytime devotees could get bored watching past episodes on a daily basis, and desire something fresh. Time is ticking and viewers are getting further away from what was going on in the last original episodes of B& B and Y&R. It's difficult to keep up your momentum when so much time has gone by.

At one point or another, nearly everyone has known or been a fan of a child actor. Those lucky kids who take Hollywood by storm with their big rosy cheeks, mischievous smiles, and all around impossibly cute looks. Unfortunately, cuteness does not usually last forever.

On this day in May, 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, LA, California - the very first Oscars Ceremony was underway. A private dinner held by the then president of AMPAS, Douglas Fairbanks and ticket costs were $5 (which is around $74-75 in today's money considering inflation). Around 270 people took their seats to watch and the ceremony itself lasted just 15 minutes. The ceremony was neither broadcast on radio of TV with the idea of the radio broadcast coming in by the following year's awards show. There were 12 awards and the winners were announced some months before the event of the dinner itself. There were only 36 banquet tables required on the night.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Wrong Missy"
The Wrong Missy has just come out on Netflix and I was interested in seeing what it had up its sleeve. It's as formulaic as all the other Happy Madison Production romantic comedy movies. The secret is I kind of enjoy these formulaic movies. This one has its moments but I'll get to that.
