Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8, "Retreat"

The book starts off with Willow and her girlfriend and demons.
I enjoy how the story changes when you turn the page.
Willow and her girlfriend are noticeably uglier than they are in the show, making it very anti-Hollywood.
Buffy reveals her reservations of losing Willow after killing the Evil one in the future.
Giles responds wittily by saying that he didn't have time for such an explanation.
And Whedon's writers capture Whedon's universe well by developing characters that want to survive and go on in their next stage in life: parenthood.

I would rather have Brad Pitt than Jared Leto play the Joker

The Dark Knight showed us certain things:
It should us that fans wanted a darker, more realistic Joker,
But not one that lacks in charisma.

Brad Pitt has worked ensemble movies. He's produced. He's directed. He's well known. He's a great name.
He's played Tyler Durden for Fight Club in his career defining role, a role that is still very popular to this day 15 years later.

He should play the Joker instead of Jared Leto.

Main Street (novel) Analysis: Feminist views

I was really blown away by this decision as many others were.
So often I use the masculine or asexual point of view that I really lack the opportunity to observe feminine voice well, and boy does this book get it right:
The use of the female in Main Street is to give the viewers the perspective of gender equality or the fight for it, in order to show the changing of times in the world, the setting of Main Street.
Less is done in the factories, which'll predicted well by the author, will be done by machines, more time for university, education, liberal arts, feminism and work by females.
The book still does have a Victorian point of view for women, but it's still by all means accomplishes its goals as a great work of fiction.
