Modern popular culture topics in the geek sphere.
Youtube channels cinema enthusiasts and pessimists might appreciate.
I’ve watched various film-based channels and thoroughly enjoyed them. I think they should be noted if you’re a cinema hater, lover, or just curious. Many are very interesting with different perspectives as well as the methods they apply. To depict their different styles, I picked a central movie-Avengers Infinity War (2018).
'Vive AkughaPublished 2 years ago in GeeksDudeism: It's a Real Thing, Man
When The Big Lebowski came out in 1998, not many people went to see it. But in the past couple of decades, it’s gained a huge following. The film follows slacker Jeffrey Lebowski, who goes by the Dude, or Duder, or El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing. Anyway, the Dude here gets mistaken by a couple of thugs for a different Jeffrey Lebowski, this one being a millionaire. It seems this millionaire Lebowski has a wife named Bunny, and she owes a lot of people money. When the thugs realize they’ve got the wrong Lebowski, they scram.

I've Never Done NaNoWriMo, But I Think This is My Year
I've always wanted to write a novel. I haven't yet, but trust me, it's not for lack of trying. Technically, I have completed a novel. Two, actually. But both are, well, quite dead to me. Harsh? Hey, it's a rough business. Here on the eve of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), my first step is to kick my feelings to the curb. This isn't about feelings. It's not about ego, and the sooner we all accept that, the more productive we'll be. This month is about one thing, and one thing only.

Jed SilverlakePublished 2 years ago in GeeksNo Time to Die
For over sixty years the character of James Bond has been a cultural icon of young men everywhere. The glamorous lifestyle, the thrills of espionage, the music and the cars have integrated themselves into the popular consciousness. In 2021 we got the finale of the Daniel Craig iteration of James Bond directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. No Time to Die is the final hurrah of the contemporary Bond series that I think leaves the future of the franchise and the character in a strange limbo.

Asterion AvocadoPublished 3 years ago in Geeks Buzzfeed and Birthday Cake
Once upon a time, Buzzfeed was a respected website full of educational and well received/well researched articles, way back in the day. Actually, was it ever respected? Was there ever a time when its articles were ever well received? It seems hard to believe now, in 2021, that people are on the edges of their seats waiting for a new Buzzfeed article. Let me tell you a rather mundane tale of my interactions with Buzzfeed, and a slightly less mundane story of how originality seems to have died a death.
