Humanity or geek-manity? Humanity topics include pieces on the real-life lives of geek advocates and influencors.
The Creator
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. The Creator is what every good movie ought to be. Thought-provoking, grounded, visually stunning, and heartfelt. This is especially important when it comes to science fiction movies in the twentieth century, where the film industry has become hyper-focused on creating things that can be turned into franchises, AKA cash cows they can milk until the cow collapses.

Friends can fill many important roles in people's lives, such as support, companionship, enjoyment, and sharing feelings. One contribution a friend can make is to guide you to TV shows, movies, books, and podcasts that are worth your time. I'm still upset at my buddy Gene for recommending Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Frank RacioppiPublished 3 months ago in GeeksGeneration Names
Whoever came up with the categorization and labeling of contemporary generations was a Boomer. Why do I say so? First, they only gave names to the generations of the 20th century, as if people didn’t exist before or as if every new century must start from scratch with their own new names. The first named generation (born before 1900) was completely Lost on them (a lot of its males were also lost in WWI).
Lana V LynxPublished 3 months ago in GeeksZone of Interest
To say I was shocked at this movie is an understatement. When I saw that a movie that is based on the Holocaust was rated PG, I laughed. I figured that it was not going to be anything special because how can you cover the travesty and horror of the Holocaust without showing anything? Well, the movie did just that, but instead of showing the gruesome nature of those years, it used an underappreciated method, Sound. You never saw anything that happened, but you heard it…all of it.

Rebel Moon is the Future of Entertainment
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. There is no nice way of putting it. Rebel Moon is terrible. But not terrible for the reasons that most people have noticed. After being out for a little less than two weeks, most people have panned the movie for what it is. A sloppy, copy and paste job of some of the most popular science fiction franchises. However, Rebel Moon is far more problematic than that. It goes beyond common sci-fi tropes. It mashes together nearly every successful genre possible in hopes of appealing to the majority people. In doing this, it is everything and nothing at once.

How “Death And Ramen” Delivers Love & Loss Through Noodles
Life, loss, and noodles. These are all the defining characteristics that will get you hooked in Tiger Ji’s second film, Death and Ramen. Death and Ramen is a short film written and directed by rising-filmmaker Tiger Ji.
