Don’t even think about getting popcorn during A Quiet Place. I don’t care if you’re hungry. I don’t care if movie theater popcorn is your favorite thing. I really don’t care if you “think you can eat quietly.” Let me tell you right now: you can’t. Not quietly enough to go unnoticed, and most definitely […]
I cry at movies. Every movie. For every reason. I cry in sad scenes, and I cry in happy ones. I cry when a character is selfless, or heroic, or honorable, and I cry when someone is betrayed, and I cry when babies are born and I cry when people die. I cry when Fievel’s […]
Have you ever noticed that pretty much every movie and TV show has a character named Jack? Or, okay, maybe not every one, but at least, like, 60%. That’s a lot of Jacks. “Who is the best Jack?” I recently asked myself for no reason whatsoever. Is it Jack Traven from Speed? Jack Pearson from This Is Us? Jack Dawson […]
This Is Us has been telling us from the beginning of the first season that Pearson family patriarch, and all-around GOAT Dad, Jack Pearson, died sometime before he got to watch his kids grow into adults, but they’ve been withholding the exact circumstances surrounding his death… until now. This Sunday, after the Super Bowl, the earnest […]
2017 was one hell of a year for us here at Avenging Force, but we’ve kept (somewhat) calm and carried (sometimes begrudgingly) on. Although we may not have been sharing our thoughts as readily as we might have liked, we haven’t stopped consuming the media we love so much. And while most people would probably […]
Game of Thrones returns on Sunday and we’re pretty frickin’ excited. Over the course of the series so far, there have been ninety named character deaths, many of which were people we had grown to know and love, or at least find really interesting. While we don’t want to get into the logistics of how we’d bring most […]
With the season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones right around the corner, we are all excited to see where the show is going. And because we’re Those People, we have definitely got ideas of our own. Join us for speculations! Please note that none of us have been keeping up with any possible spoiler […]
The first time I saw myself in fiction, the character didn’t actually resemble me much at all. I was in elementary school, reading Ann M. Martin’s The Baby-Sitters Club series for the first time, and immediately fell in love with the character of Claudia Kishi (who I still maintain is hands-down the best BSC member, […]
Sunday is Mother’s Day in the United States and so we’re taking the time to come up with our list of the top five fictional moms. From literature to cartoons, there have been many moms throughout, but some stand head and shoulders above the others–and we’re here to celebrate them. Join us in the comments or […]
Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast hits theaters this weekend, and we’re excited to see it! To celebrate this occasion we’ve chosen to look back at our favorite Disney songs from across their catalog. Turns out, we’re all fans of quite a lot of Disney songs, and this was a difficult one for all three […]
