Cheryl E PrestonPublished 6 days ago in GeeksHow Sailor Moon Impacted My Life
For 30 years, this cosmic crybaby has warmed the hearts of many people inspired others, and still never fails to give people, courage, strength, and love. You could throw a dart at any movie, TV Show, or author that Sailor Moon has inspired.
Samantha ParrishPublished 12 days ago in Geeks5 Feelgood Stories Of Kids In The Entertainment Industry
Viewers everywhere are still reeling from the horrifying revelations in the recent documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids' TV. The depth of Producer Dan Schneider's inappropriate behaviour around the sets of his Nickelodeon TV shows is apalling, even more so the series of missed warnings and adult failures that led to then-child star Drake Bell's sexual abuse at the hands of his acting coach, Brian Peck.
Kristy AndersonPublished 29 days ago in GeeksThe Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.
Annie KapurPublished 29 days ago in GeeksMy Unpopular Literary Opinions
I have a vast amount of fairly unpopular literary opinions. From books that I feel have been overhyped to classics that I think are just people trying to sound intelligent without having any real value. From clichés and boring genres that take on no other form whatsoever to writers who are really not as great as everyone thinks they are. Here are some of my most unpopular literary opinions made flesh. I hope that you enjoy them and that we can maybe have a balanced discussion about it. (Also, please don't hate me. These are just opinions and are in no way representative of anything factual at all).

Book Review: "Can't Even" by Anne Helen Petersen
I have turned my nonfiction attention to a book about my generation: the millennials. Many books about the millennials state the same sorts of things including: how we grew up and are thus living pieces of the worst economic era since the great depression, how we are basically doomed from the beginning and the newer one is that now we are approaching the middle of our lives, our health is essentially failing us.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished about 13 hours ago in GeeksMy Review of "Beat Street"
Beat Street is an 80's movie about hip hop in the Bronx at that time. Although it isn't marketed as such, this movie really is a musical. I think a lot of the charm of this movie comes from the musical and dance elements. The story is pretty rudimentary and the acting isn't the best. You're really here for the historical context and the players that were involved with this project.

ItslinuxosPublished a day ago in GeeksThe Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
When the Second World War broke out, the author of (the yet to be written) ‘The Little Prince’ was a pilot in the French Army and, when Germany beat France, he flew to North America intending to help fight the Nazis - becoming a voice for the French Resistance movement. Drawing on experience of being in the Sahara Desert which were initially outlined in his memoirs written earlier, he is thought to have conceived the idea for what would become one of the greatest children’s stories ever told.
Annie KapurPublished a day ago in GeeksMy Mind Is Blown #5
Part #1 Part #2 Part #3 Part #4 Final Warning: Spoilers Ahead! Holy crap! This episode was nothing like I expected. Knowing that this is the last episode before the major three-part episode "Tolerance is Extinction," I expected things to be somber. Pretty much, I thought this episode would be a memorial of sorts to those lost during the Genosha Genocide, with a little reveal to help it transition to the next episode.
