Jaws
Hollywood's first blockbuster
June 1975. Millions of moviegoers flooded theaters. They clung to their seats, startled as a big Godzilla-style shark incited bigger fear. A young Steven Spielberg directed part monster thriller, part deadly chase. It does for ocean water what Hitchcock’s “Psycho” did for showers.
With a relentless soundtrack.
Frightening. Exhilarating. Unforgettable.

Painkiller
Opiods kill, especially when avarice doctors are rewarded for over-prescribing them. Be shocked when you read journalist Barry Meier’s PAINKILLER, a riveting account of how Arthur and Richard Sackler’s greed and marketing ingenuity caused death and destruction with their creation of Oxycontin. They lied. People died.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Introduction: Capitalism as a Sociological Problem In sociological inquiry, capitalism is not merely an economic system but a total social structure that shapes institutions, social relations, cultural norms, and individual subjectivities. While often defended for its capacity to generate wealth and innovation, capitalism has also produced profound social and ecological crises. From widening class inequalities to environmental collapse and the commodification of everyday life, its consequences raise fundamental questions about social justice, sustainability, and human well-being.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
