Hello NerdFighters,

I'm Dara Wittman, I writing this just to say hi to everybody. I'm currently a college student studying broadcasting. Although my dream job is to be a film and TV critic. I know this isn't the best career choice but who knows. Anyway I was thinking I could start reviewing stuff here, so if anybody has any movies, or TV shows or even a broadway show they would like me to review please let me know. Also if you want to be my friend and just talk about...well…

Hi!

As I was completing my Film Literature assignment, I realized that there are many films, books, music, etc. that don't have fandom of their own, but they really should. This means, essentially, that these things do not have memes, YouTube fan videos, or fanfiction, but they're so totally awesome that it's almost a shame that people don't know what, or who, they are. Here are some examples:

Places In The Heart- This is a film that came out in 1984, with Sally Field starring…

Hello everybody.

So the other day, I was watching a movie and the mom came in to read stories to her kids before they went to bed, and I was thinking about how common and picturesque that image is to us. I don’t know how common this activity is, but it never really happened for me. The closest thing I can remember is one of my parents reading Bible stories to the family in the evening, and that certainly didn’t happen every night.

But there were stories I do remember, stories…

Last year I had a teacher who assigned a compare/contrast essay. We got to choose the topic and I'd had one brewing for over a year at that point. So I wrote it.

I was hesitant to post it online, simply because I'm never sure of my works quality, but my teach (a notoriously and statistically proven hard grader) gave it an 8.75 on the 9 point scale, so I figured "What the heck?" This also seemed like the type of essay that would appeal to a nerdy crowd.

Please enjoy!…

Hello fellow bloggers, friends, followers, and random readers. This is my first-ever attempt at blogging, so please go easy on me.

Hello, fellow bloggers, friends, follower, and random readers!

My name is Kyra Renee Rush, but most people call me Kyra or K.R. or even KRR (curr). I go to Bowling Green State University to study my #1 love, Theatre and Creative Writing. So far, this campus is the perfect fit for me; although it's in a city and I've lived most of my life in…

In which John Green pretends to be Charlie McDonnell by answering the same questions Hank asked him, while signing a lease at his new office and getting the movie option for The Fault in Our Stars signed and notarized. Also, John tells a story about the astronaut who farted on the moon.

And yes, since apparently a lot of you did not know this, the movie rights to my…

In which Hank doesn't go to an airport to answer your questions about growing up and adulthood. Everything from how to make friends to what taxes are like.

Yesterday I was watching Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It a brilliant movie and I know it’s based off the book but it was still really great. There was a seine were he’s wearing a gas mask and I burst out, "ARE YOU MY MUMMY!?", then I doubled over by the fact of how creepy it was. Besides that it was a really good movie and I recommend it to the few others who stumble upon this post.

In other news I went to Sky high which is a place devoted to everything and anything…

In which Hank goes on a walk and talks about, his zit, the spring, The Hunger Games, phone books, nerdfighteria, the MPAA, Missoula, The Fault in our Stars, anticipation, YouTube, and change.

Here me rant more fully about The Hunger Games here:…

Hank and Michael make some really disgusting and really amazing cookies, and then they play Hungry Hungry Hippos to decide who eats which cookie. All in honor of the release of a great movie (based on a great book.)

If you haven't seen the Hunger Games, I heartily suggest it...that is, as long as you read it first :-p

Sorry this video is a bit disjointed in…

I was at Target and I saw this Millenium Falcon and I needed it, so we spent like four hours last night constructing it. And then I spent another four hours this morning making this…

Listen, Jena, it turns out Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities was a key inspiration for The Dark Knight Rises. Seeing as the 200th anniversary of Dickens’ birth is this coming February 7, I thought it’d be nice to explore the themes Christopher Nolan might be drawing on.

It’s clear that Gotham explodes with civil unrest in the film. The trailer shows scenes of a wealthy house being  raided, the people inside it dragged down the stairs and…

I made a video combining 50 movies in under 100 seconds, is your favourite movie in there?

I was taking a break from studing for exams and decided to watch the new documentary Life in a Day.  I really enjoyed it, but there was one question that really got me thinking.  What do you fear?  The first thing that came to mind was snakes.  I can not stand snakes.  They are just not for me.  But after the documentary was done, that question still bothered me.  Some how my answer wasn't good enough.  Maybe it was because my mind didn't want to go back to studying or maybe I just…

Sorry I'm uploading late. I'm in Grand Haven, Michigan recording an audio version of The Fault in Our Stars. More…
