Why I Am Fine With Weaver
Introduction My friend Dharrsheena introduced me to Weaver. It is a word ladder game, Weaver, takes the original format of an age-old puzzle, and brings it into the 21st century. Thought up on Christmas day in 1877 by novelist Lewis Carroll to keep his children, Julia and Ethel Arnold, entertained, he called his game 'word-links'.
Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 2 years ago in GeeksFirst time watching two versions of Pinocchio‘s (1940) and (2022)
I have both Disney versions of Pinocchio, the 1940 animated version and the 2022 live action starring Tom Hanks and Cynthia Ervio. This is my first time watching the Disney versions of Pinocchio since I didn’t watch both of them before but I have watched ABCs television film Geppetto and another live action of Pinocchio with late actor Martin Landau and Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Gladys W. MuturiPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Ambulance"
Ambulance is bit of an unexpected movie of 2022. Although it was a pretty high budget summer film there wasn't a lot of publicity about this movie. That's kind of unheard of for a Michael Bay movie but maybe we've been all Bay'ed out after all these years. We've come to know and expect a certain movie from him and this isn't that much different. That's not a bad thing either.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Star Trek: Generations"
Star Trek: Generations came out back in 1994. I remember this was the first Star Trek movie that I saw in the theatres. It's kind of strange because I still wasn't really into Star Trek back then. My brother knew more about Star Trek: The Next Generation TV show and that's why I went. I kind of knew the characters but not really well.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksVillainess Review: Jodi Byron (Dating Hell)
Fans of Lifetime films, such as myself, received a Thursday treat with this movie, Dating Hell, which centered on divorced mother Hannah and her attempts to get back in the dating scene. With the help of her good friend, Charlotte, Hannah's dating app profile has many hits, but her best match is Daniel, who runs a security business. They hit it off instantly, but as their relationship starts to develop, a masked intruder makes their way into the home of Hannah's neighbor, Kara, and murders her in her bedroom.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksShe-Hulk Review: "Mean, Green, and Straight Poured Into These Jeans"
My excitement for Episode 5 began seconds after Episode 4 ended, because I knew we would see Titania back again. We only received a brief glimpse of the superhuman villainess in the first episode, when she invaded the courtroom only to be taken down by She-Hulk, with the fight resulting in Jen Walters' fame and rise in stock. However, as the final moments of Episode 4 saw, Titania decided to deliver a bit of a blow to She-Hulk's popularity--in the form of a trademarking lawsuit.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksFilmmaking Lessons from “The Ocean’s Trilogy” — ‘Ocean’s Eleven’
Ocean’s Eleven was released in 2001. The world was kind of in a weird place. It felt like everything was on fire. I was nine years old and I was at the Regal Theater in New Rochelle. I was watching one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. George Clooney and Brad Pitt, the epitome of gentlemen thieves, were on the screen looking like absolute rock stars; movie royalty. At the end of the film, the villain, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), a ruthless mogul and casino owner, has just called the SWAT team to stop thieves from robbing his vault. The thieves escape and the SWAT team leaves. Terry Benedict stands in the middle of the vault and tries to piece together what just happened. His second in command asks him on the walkie-talkie, “What happened to all that money?” We cut to the SWAT team walking through the casino floor, bags in hand. One of them flips up their helmet to wipe the sweat off his brow. It’s Brad Pitt.

Marielle SabbagPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy thoughts on Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (Spoilers!)
So a couple of days ago I finally got the chance to watch Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, and I gotta say that I loved that movie from start to finish. I watched Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z growing up and this movie took me on a huge nostalgia trip. It also gave me a decent amount of satisfaction because the primary focus of the movie was on Gohan and Piccolo! Honestly, at this point I can't think of I didn't like about the movie. Let's get into why!
Just a guyPublished 2 years ago in GeeksVillainess Review: Audra Simonetti (Babysitter's Nightmare)
Babysitter's Nightmare (aka Kill the Babysitter) was quite a memorable Lifetime film, mainly because of the villainess involved--as well as who was playing her. More on that later. After an opening scene that features a young woman being suffocated to death by a hooded figure, the scene quickly shifts to nurse Daphne Hart, who had been tending to (among other patients), a young boy named Mason; however, when Daphne's superior stepped away from Mason just for a brief moment, the young boy ended up taking a fatal turn for the worse.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksEnabling Thoughts on Dune
Maybe this could be the real sand worm of Paul Herbert's Dune. That and other random tangential thoughts could form the bulk of a networked corpus of knowledge, understanding, and analysis of classics. When I consider that, I wonder, why even care? I feel as small and insignificant as these sand worms.
