Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 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 11 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 27 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 28 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).

Ayush VermaPublished about 3 hours ago in GeeksA review of the 2024 film The Beekeeper.
Jason Statham has returned! Was he missed by me? Oh, how I missed him. Despite this, I found "Meg 2: The Trench (2023)" to be a really poor film. I never even got to the end of the movie, thus I didn't write a review for it on this site. It lacked personality and was dull and uninspired by Statham. Therefore, in my opinion, it shouldn't be included in his filmography.
Dorothy Comingore (1913 – 1971)
Hollywood is a bully. As an imaginary 1940s Hollywood screenwriter, I have learned to keep quiet, to avert my gaze, not complain. It is my dream job and a nightmare. I want to be a story-teller that weaves magic about sassy women who stand up to the men. But this is 1940s Hollywood, so I know that not all fights, no matter how just, will be won and that gutsy women need to know their place. Cautionary tales about the women who spoke up, hide in every dark corner of every salacious fanzine.
