Is Too Much Information Ruining Sci-fi & Superhero Movies?
The "Nerd/Geek" community (my community) is one of the more committed fan bases out there when it comes to their content. It doesn't matter whether it is a rumor of a new TV show coming out or if Superman is going to have a mullet on the new Justice League movie, the community needs to know. This could be either be considered simple curiosity or excitement over something that fans hold dear to their hearts. The problem rises when this mere curiosity or excitement changes into fanatic search and obsessive nitpicking over every single detail of possible information. This brings up the question. Is there such a thing as too much information? Yes, there is. The trailers, the rumors, the pics and of course the never-ending leaks. Too much information (in my personal opinion) can somehow dilute what the movie experiences should be.

Pink "#FailingBeautifully" At Parenthood
Known for hits like "So What" and "Raise Your Glass," songs which have traditionally encouraged and even celebrated the fierceness of women everywhere, if not everyone's inner party animal, Pink may have once been the last person on Earth that people would have expected to become a role model for working moms. Sure, the rock star has enough money now that she could probably hire several different nannies to look after her two young children, Willow, who's 6, and Jameson, who is around 6 months old now, but it would seem she's still a very present parent in their lives.

7 Downloaded Apps I Can't Live Without
1. Facebook Some people may argue that Facebook is dead, but practically everyone I know still uses it, at least to check it. Social media websites are quick to be adapted by the younger generations, but even my parents use Facebook, making it a hub for my cross-generation communication. It is my first choice in making a uniting group page and the business I work for remains active on it. Dead? Facebook is still my number one social network.

Emma Stone A 'Mean Girl'?
Mean Girls was quite probably one of Lindsay Lohan's best works in her very brief filmography and continues to be well-loved today. With the likes of Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Tim Meadows as the beleaguered adults in the world of teens Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, the chemistry between the cast was hard to deny. While there was a largely forgettable attempt to reconjure the magic of that group in 2011's television movie Mean Girls 2, there continues to be a clamoring for a real sequel to the original.

Exposing the KK
Exposing the KK... Let’s be honest, the Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to the appropriation of any of the cultures of the world. It seems that their favorite location of cultural appropriation appears to be sourced in Black Culture. From their "boxer braids" aka corn-rows, full lips via injections, dreadlocks, Bantu knots, and a long list of wrongfully credited "trends" and their lifeless imagination they may finally get exposed for their undeserved fame.

Wonder Woman Renews Interest In a Long Underused Character (Spoiler-Free Review)
With a universe of popular characters as large as D.C.'s, it's strange how they've only recycled Batman and Superman over the last 50 decades at the forefront of their big budget material and reboots. Every character outside of these two hero's universes has either been used for a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon show or short-lived tv series. But thanks to the 2013 film Man of Steel (yet another Superman reboot), D.C. has sought to catch up with Marvel's blueprint of bringing lesser-used heroes to the big screen. Man of Steel served as a test pilot for its sequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which hinted at building the Justice League and was also a big-screen debut for the heroine of the hour, Wonder Woman. This is a big deal, considering the character has had little use over the decades since her tv show of the mid-70's.
