Oh So Geeky

When Halloween comes around, it's time go to Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights. This year, my sister and I snagged Frequent Fear Passes. Instead of packing all of Universe Orlando's haunted houses into one night, we attended the event over and over again to face our fears (and there were quite a few of them). It's been a real treat to scream our hearts out over and over again.

Stephen King has created quite a few memorable female roles – an author's obsessive admirer in Misery , the telekinetic outcast in Carrie , and of course, Beverly Marsh in IT . With Andy Muschietti’s reboot of King’s novel and the reemergence of The Losers Club, I thought it’d be fun to talk about how close the character of Beverly Marsh manages to be different and similar between the book and duo-logy. This post talks about topics related to Beverly's arc in the book and movie including abuse, sexual violence, and puberty. Read at your own risk.

Between Pennywise the dancing clown in Stephen King's IT and a reboot of DC's supervillain Joker , clowns are all the rage in Hollywood right now. But one version that broke out of the pack and revitalized the trend a few years ago was Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn in the critically panned  Suicide Squad. After a highly anticipated wait for her own solo flick, the trailer for  Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn has finally dropped. The results are exciting and controversial, to say the least. Here's a look at the trailer, some info of the plot and characters, and my own reaction. Hope you enjoy!
