Reptar
This is Reptar. They are easily Athens, Georgia’s most talented and popular band. Only Reptar could decide to have a house show at some random guys house on a Monday night two days prior and have some 200+ people show up. Only Reptar could get everyone present to pay for the 3 (yes, 3) noise violations that the owner of the house received for hosting the house show. Only Reptar could then...

I tutor reading and phonics at an inner-city middle school in Denver. Most of the students are Latino, from low-income households, English Language Learners, and immigrants. Some of them are undocumented immigrants, or their parents are undocumented. Some of their parents work two or three minimum…

Thoughts on "Fuck" →
fuckyeahbookarts:
In further response to the title of this blog, I just received this thoughtful submission from writingandnotwriting all about the word ‘fuck’:
It is odd the ways in which we become deeply unsettled or even offended by a single word like “Fuck.” It is a word for something we all do. And…

I stopped keeping up with the franchise a while ago. I’ve read over most of the plots but watched only 4 of them (and only 1 and 2 of my own accord). But since I recently rewatched Saw 1, I decided to go look at all the other posters. I think a lot of the saw movie posters are pretty successful. ALl of the medical themed ones are really excellent, like the two below.
But the Saw 6 and...

Saw
James Wan’s Saw (2004) will probably mostly be remembered in the future for the annoying franchise that just didn’t seem to go away; much in the same way Halloween and Friday the 13th franchises are remembered now. However, like the original Halloween, the original Saw has a lot of merit as a horror movie. For those of you who haven’t seen it, the movie opens with two men...
