So, there are so many beautifully symbolic moments in The Last Jedi that I want to just gush about at length. We can start with the scene where Luke milks the thing on the island and drinks directly from the bottle looking at Rey, which definitely sets up that her adult has been talking to… Read More Geek Girls Rules! #434 – Caution: Extreme Geeking about Symbolism in the Last Jedi
I hope this is coherent, I’m pretty loaded on cold medicine, having had to cancel some game demos this weekend rather than infect the world with this horrible death plague. Ok, honestly, it’s really just a horrific head cold with some gastro-intestinal distress issues. Yeah, I’m pretty. A friend of mine introduced me to this… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #431 – Nostalgia’s Great and All…
Saw The Last Jedi last night. And I would like to start this review with a measured and mature response to the film’s critics. Ahem. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was great. I thought it did a fantastic job of building tension and suspense.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #430 – Review: The Last Jedi
So, I finally saw Spider-Man Homecoming the other night. Yeah, I was hesitant. I keep waiting for Marvel to really let me down, but the quality of their films mostly seems to be going up. Civil War wasn’t great, but they did pretty well with the material they had. Anyway, I was utterly charmed by… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #426 – Review: Spider-Man Homecoming
Finally saw Thor: Ragnarok (or as Tumblr calls it, “What happens when Galadriel takes the One True Ring) after work on Friday. After phenomenally irritating day that culminated in being two buses behind a bus crash that blocked up the road, then running ten minutes through the rain in a pencil skirt to meet the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #424 – Review: Thor-Ragnarok
“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”—Malcolm S. Forbes. Once upon a time, the Geek Husband What Rules and I worked in a dance club. He was head of security and occasional DJ. I was a bouncer, a barback and a bartender.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #409 – Trying to Hold People Accountable
The “Handmaid’s Tale, Bitch Planet and the Politics of Women’s Bodies” panel went great. I just, after it was over I thought of so much more I wanted to say. The Blue Rose demos went great!!! I had one player in the first come back for the second, and converted someone to role-playing as their… Read More Geek Girl Con was great!!!!
So, I’m re-reading The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, and I was struck by how very evocative her use of language is. Even in just the early chapters of the book, you get a sense that this is not the way it was, this is new, and even the women who supported it did not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #405 – What Kind of Writing Strikes a Chord in You?

The other day on twitter, I think, one of my friends mentioned that he had just gotten a copy of Q: the Flying Serpent. I mentioned offhand that movie was one I had always wanted to see, but for some reason my folks refused to let me rent it. Once he ripped it, he dropped… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #396 – Something I’ve Wanted to Watch for Years
