Emma Stone A 'Mean Girl'?
Mean Girls was quite probably one of Lindsay Lohan's best works in her very brief filmography and continues to be well-loved today. With the likes of Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Tim Meadows as the beleaguered adults in the world of teens Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, the chemistry between the cast was hard to deny. While there was a largely forgettable attempt to reconjure the magic of that group in 2011's television movie Mean Girls 2, there continues to be a clamoring for a real sequel to the original.

In a matter of opinions, so often us social media users share memes, pictures, or post on our personal pages to express our thoughts on a particular topic. With the intentions of having our followers agree or disagree with our post and possibly share it. However, more often than not, one can occasionally get a "troll."

Cerra WhitePublished 7 years ago in GeeksThe Fun in Fandoms
Like many adolescents nowadays, once upon a time I had indulged a majority of my time in reading renowned fiction books, varying from the Harry Potter series to the Heroes of Olympus series. I've also spent a good amount of time watching the film adaptations of the magical Disney animation movies that, even today, still send tingles down my spine. However, the term "fandom" never popped up until I started joining Instagram in 2014 and saw an all around fandom account dedicated to creating edits from the films I've watched all my life. Soon, I became a part of so many fandoms, and I've met a lot of people who love them as much as I do. And now, I realize that fandoms are not just limited to books and movies. Music artists, Broadway musicals, television shows, video games, and YouTube stars also fall into this category. And when one finds someone else to freak out--ahem, fangirl--with over the events that occur in a certain book or episode, then they could say that their fandom experience had definitely been enhanced.
Exposing the KK
Exposing the KK... Let’s be honest, the Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to the appropriation of any of the cultures of the world. It seems that their favorite location of cultural appropriation appears to be sourced in Black Culture. From their "boxer braids" aka corn-rows, full lips via injections, dreadlocks, Bantu knots, and a long list of wrongfully credited "trends" and their lifeless imagination they may finally get exposed for their undeserved fame.

Bethany BrownPublished 7 years ago in GeeksWonder Woman Renews Interest In a Long Underused Character (Spoiler-Free Review)
With a universe of popular characters as large as D.C.'s, it's strange how they've only recycled Batman and Superman over the last 50 decades at the forefront of their big budget material and reboots. Every character outside of these two hero's universes has either been used for a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon show or short-lived tv series. But thanks to the 2013 film Man of Steel (yet another Superman reboot), D.C. has sought to catch up with Marvel's blueprint of bringing lesser-used heroes to the big screen. Man of Steel served as a test pilot for its sequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which hinted at building the Justice League and was also a big-screen debut for the heroine of the hour, Wonder Woman. This is a big deal, considering the character has had little use over the decades since her tv show of the mid-70's.

I know a lot of people are angry about the launch of the "new" YouTube channel, NowThis Nerd, and I want to explain to those who don't understand why that is the case. In 2013, Philip DeFranco launched a channel called SourcefedNERD, where hosts Steve, Meg and Trisha spoke about everything nerd related. The topics ranged from TV shows to movies to comic books to board games, and over the years the lists of hosts and personalities grew. This past year SourcefedNERD celebrated their 1 millionth subscriber. Then on March 20th, it was announced that Group Nine Media decided that SourcefedNERD would be cancelled. The final video on the channel was released on March 24th and that was the end of it.
