The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Top Story - June 2024.
I've audited a night course in Horror and Scifi Film from a colleague who is a great expert in both genres and who selected interesting movies for the class to watch, representative of a particular sub-genre or cultural trend of the time. I enjoyed the course tremendously, watched the films I never saw before and had a chance to participate in insightful discussions with eager and engaged students.

Flash (2023) Rewritten
The Goal I will re-write the script of The Flash by making subtle changes to the details of events. I will only alter the film based on logic and 1 major change: Barry Allen acts with intelligence. I will keep continuity with the other films in the DCEU that were established to be canon with the original film. I will work within the confines of the original’s ideas and established rules. For example, I’m not going to just say the Speed Force can’t do something the film obviously shows it can do. I will also attempt to put as many fun story beats and cameos from the original into the new version to show that such goals could have been achieved through logical means.

Reasons Why Ross is NOT the Worst Friends Character
Audience members and fans a like had put it out there that Ross Geller is everyone’s least favourite character on the show. That statistics say that Chandler ranked as the top favourite then it’s a bit of toss up between Joey and Rachel, the Ross and Monica are also a bit of a toss up as well. There are many articles and blogs stating that Ross was the worst character from friends because of how he treated Rachel when they were together and even before that, he was constantly jealous which resulted him in being controlling. We can all agree on that, however the trauma that his ex wife left him was never healed. In the first episode we see Ross come in with his comical and sad “hi” and we already know he is having a tough time. He then has a moment where he thinks he can move on with someone new and gets out in the dating world. Then, his life gets thrown around when his lesbian ex wife is pregnant with his baby. I can’t imagine trying to get along with a cheating ex who happened to be cheating on you with someone of the same sex and then being pregnant. Ross never healed from the fact that his ex wife preferred women over him and the fact that she cheated on him, and now she is pregnant. This is a lot to deal with all at once. Ross was worried that the “just a nice guy” named Mark that was Rachel’s co worker would sweep her off her feet and rightfully so since Monica claimed to use the words “humma na hummana” to describe how dreamy this guy was. This was a new relationship and he knows what Rachel was worth to other men as well. This whole time Mark did want ask out Rachel but kept his distance because he knew Ross and Rachel they were together.
