Hello readers, and Happy International Women's Day, and International Women's month as a whole. Little girls look up to role models. And before we are old enough to actually comprehend whose footsteps we should follow, film and television shows shape the way we think, and the way we act, and it's too true, more than our parents would ever care to admit.

Will the 87th Academy Awards Top Last Year's Bizarre Moments?
When I watch Award Shows, especially the TV/Movie ones, I usually don't watch it because a favorite show of mine is nominated or if they won I would feel their victory coursing in my veins through a TV Screen, I usually watch because of the fashion trends the stars would be donning, comedy, something embarrassing to happen, and most of all meme-worthy moments the stars give us. And this is no review since most of the nominated movies in those prestigious Awards shows are either not yet available in my country, or I just couldn't find the time to watch them even if they will be shown in FOX Movies Premium.

30 Days of Thanksvember: What Truebies Are Thankful For
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! In the spirit of the season, I am thankful for True Blood, which ended on Thanskgiving. Every day in November, the folks at True-Blood.net shared something about True Blood and the Sookieverse that made them thankful. It's pretty much what I loved about this site. They are dedicated to True Blood from the very beginning, until the very end.

A Procrastinator's Guide for Faster Essay Writing
The first semester has recently wrapped up for me. One of the biggest challenges I faced this term was the buttload of essays that I had to write. I’m a distant learner. In other words, I attend an Open University where face-to-face instruction and socialization is next to none. Attending an Open University seemed like such a dream for people with hectic schedules and for introverts, that is of course until you realize that when you’re attending an OU, there is also a myriad of temptations that crave your attention. From TV series, movies, books that are completely unrelated to your course — and all these are because you have flexible study hours. One of the greatest gifts of Open uni are professors that post modules and journals which you have to read (answering on weekly discussion forums are completely up to you), and write term papers to be submitted any time within the semester. For those of us who are bonafide procrastinators, this setting would give us ample amount of time to do whatever we want, until we realize that the deadline is looming and we still don’t have one paper written. #Procrastination.

Before 2016’s Me Before You united most of the major pop culture fandoms, there was the delightfully British Christmas romcom Love Actually, which had a perfect ensemble cast and — dare I say it — some cross-fandom pairings that are the stuff of steamy fan fiction. Spanning Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bridget Jones, Narnia, and Doctor Who, below is the great big fanfiction-ish cast of 2003's LoveActually.
