Went and saw Rogue One New Year’s Eve, and I really enjoyed it. The story and pacing were excellent. I really enjoyed Jin’s character. Diego Luna keeping his accent was masterful, and also the sheer diversity of the cast was a breath of fresh air. Danielle gave you the super intense technical review. I’m here… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #349 – Review: Rogue One and In Memoriam Carrie Fisher
First blog post of the new year! Woot! Let’s hope 2017 sucks less than it’s predecessor. I think think I’ve talked about my particular fussiness with horror before. Needs to be well written, supernatural, and I need to not have it all figured out by chapter 2. I’m not saying you can’t use established horror… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #348 – Review: Cherry Hill by James A. Moore
I am a lifelong fan of horror, in particular supernatural horror. I grew up watching Monster Movies, Hammer and IP films on TV in the afternoons after mom’s soap operas, weekend afternoons, and late night on the weekends. I also read every ghost story, haunting tale or spooky book I could get my hands… Read More Geek Girls Rule #347 – Horror Fandom has a Serious Sexism Problem
Many feminist bloggers, geek or otherwise, have already spilled an absurd amount of ink on the topic of the “Missing Stair.” You know, that person (usually, but not always, a guy) with no boundaries who aggressively hits on every person of their preferred gender, is at the least verbally abusive and may escalate to physical… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #346 – Screw the Missing Stair, and Screw the Enablers, too.
So, I have a Patreon for this now, to help take care of hosting fees and all that. PLUS, if I get to the $100 a month level, I will start doing a video-cast/youtube channel called Mickey Counts Down, which will be 15 or 20 minutes of me doing a ranked list of things that… Read More Newsflash: Patreon
So, yeah, this blog is called Geek GIRLS Rule! and one of the things many Geek Girls have to put up with, along with many other girls, are periods. Yeah, I know. I asked my gynecologist to take my uterus out, since I wasn’t planning on using it. I had a whole spiel, ending with,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #345 – Period Panties by Harebrained Design
Nearly 40 years after the original Star Wars arrived in cinemas, the story of how the plans for the Death Star were stolen is finally revealed in Rogue One, an event that lives up to all the expectations and then some. There are no major plot spoilers in this review, but there are some spoilers… Read More Review: Rogue One by Danielle Ni Dhighe
Yup, I’m kicking that hornet’s nest. See, this is a thing that bugs the shit out of me. I get that it’s a symptom of the times, and the ease of access with which fans can interact with creators and performers. And I am not having a “You kids get off my lawn” moment here.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #344 – Fan Entitlement
Ok, so my period started unexpectedly, which explains why I NEEDED dessert at dinner tonight, and have been scarfing Dove chocolates like they’re going to nuke the factory. I hate Dove chocolate. So, tonight, I bring you a post I’ve been thinking about for awhile: Gaming Food. I think we’re all familiar with the stereotypical… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #343 – Gaming Food
Yeah, I missed Tuesday. I went back to the gym Monday night for the first time since the stupid surgeries, and after the personal trainer made me do ALL THE SQUATS, I hurt and after nomming all the things when I got home, I crawled into bed with a bottle of ibuprofen. So Gail Simone,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #342 – What the shit Fandom?
