Coming to Terms With Succession's Explosive Finale
Succession has a knack for last-minute betrayals and earth-shattering finales. I expected no less going into the last night's episode - the final send-off for HBO's hit comedy-drama.
Disney Live-Action Remakes
I'll say this for Disney Live-Action Remakes: They're good on taking on feedback about what their target audiences liked and didn't like about the originals.
Natasja RosePublished 6 months ago in GeeksHow Roleplaying Improved My Writing
Let me clear this up right now: I’m not talking about Dungeons & Dragons or cosplay. I mean, I’m sure that there are ways in which those kinds of roleplay can help with your writing, but since I’ve never participated in either—I know, bad geek, bad geek—then I wouldn’t know from personal experience. What I am talking about is online text-based roleplaying games, specifically ones played through internet forums.

Does anyone still play board games? I have to wonder about this after many returns home over many years and noting the number of movies watched, drinks imbibed, sporting events ingested (I will not say “enjoyed”) and debates over politics and culture shouted across living rooms and kitchen tables. In my family, playing board games was very much a part of the deal. My mother taught me how important it was to play a game like Scrabble because of its use as a tool to learn how to spell and discover new words (and also a means to destroy an opponent’s sense of self-worth when they challenged your words and you sent them running to a dictionary to confirm a small victory). I played Scrabble on almost every trip to aunts, uncles and other relatives, along with endless sessions of Sorry!, dominoes, various card games, and the most challenging one for me: Monopoly.

Harry Potter: HBO Rendition
It's been recently announced that a new Harry Potter TV series is in the works, and I'm curious about the reactions from its fandom. These book series and movie adaptations were a huge part of my childhood. I still remember going to the theater with my mom and sisters the day the first movie came out. We had a blast watching it, but I recall even as a child feeling disappointed that the movie didn't cover enough of the book. Which brings me to the question: what should we be expecting this time?
