The Way Of YouTube
The Way Of YouTube "I have found that people generally are too trusting, and that can have a bad impact on your market." One of the clearest examples I can remember of this was when a political satire show posted a video about the Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie. I had the opportunity to view the video that was a few minutes long, and in it you could see a man sitting at his computer, who was likely the producer. He was talking directly to a camera and was advocating for Governor Christie. While he didn't push his political views in the video, it was the producer that was responsible for the message of the video.

Our Obsession with Westeros (and Royalty in General) Is Unhealthy
I am a huge fantasy fan. I have watched all three Lord of the Rings movies back to back with accompanying meals (yes, even elevensies). I am religiously gobbling up fantasy content such as the Rings of Power, Sandman, and, yes, even the new Game of Thrones spinoff, The House of The Dragon (see my take on the latter here).

Ancient dog bones found at Jamestown are rewriting history, expert says.
In 2021, a group of archaeologists made an exciting discovery while excavating the site of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia: the remains of several ancient dogs. These bones, which were found in a trash pit at the site, are shedding new light on the history of dogs in the New World and the role they played in the lives of the early colonists.

Avatar: The Way Of Water--A Swing And A Miss. Top Story - December 2022.
There are a lot of reasons you might be tempted to not see this movie. You may have already heard some of the loathsome things James Cameron said about the Lakota. You may have heard it's just another chapter in the Avatar franchise's "white savior" narrative. You may have heard that a white man is exploiting the stereotypes of Indigenous peoples, hired an almost all white cast, and only white people are going to profit from it.

The Velvet Underground Movie Review -Choose Your Own Adventure For Nostalgists-
The Velvet Underground Movie Review: A Choose Your Own Adventure For The Nostalgists There’s a classic Velvets album that is near and dear to many rockers and musical music aficionados. It’s easy to see why, as their music is a collection of dreams and artistic sounds that hit the zeitgeist in 1969. They sang of love and alienation with such beauty and conviction. They were a band for change.

Restless Movie Review -A Unlikely Revival-
Restless Movie REVIEW – An Unlikely Revival More from Movie Magic Heather’s Review The trailer starts off all scary and tense, almost gothic like. It’s full of freaky imagery, but despite all of that, I was captivated by it immediately. I thought it was a powerful trailer, and a scary and moody film. After seeing the movie, I know that it did it’s job. It created the anxiety that the trailer engendered and kept my feet on the floor.

Possession Movie Review -THE MOST ENTERTAINING YET-
Possession Movie Review: Filmmaker Amal Neerad makes a huge buzz with his directorial debut movie Celluloid. However, it turns out to be a train wreck with all its technicalities. You cannot deny that the film was released only to cash in on the Sankranthi season. The majority of the film is a repetitive narration of drug-dealing, but on top of that, Amal tries to make the movie interesting by introducing all sorts of a make-believe characters. From Big B, Priyanka Chopra, Dev and now Amy Jackson, nobody seems to have any fun in this flick. Personally, I can not understand the rationale behind bringing up these characters so early, and more importantly, the inability to concentrate on their mental state throughout the movie.

ALLIANCE BETWEEN MEN AND ELVES
what can work for humanity is an alliance between Elves and Men. They both suffer and have allies they can turn on when they are in danger or in need of allies. They've fought alongside one another before and understand the other's plight in a similar manner. Perhaps Elves can advise the orcs on what the elves will likely demand from them. They can see the picture and see a way forward.
