Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; My "Go To" Movies for a Pick-Me-Up


It's Wednesday, which means it's time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was my "go to" book or movie for a pick-me-up.

For me, there's a couple of movies that always works as a pick-me-up and that's Dracula - Dead and Loving It, The Addams Family Values, Sleepy Hollow and Beetlejuice. Some might think I'm a bit weird, but that's how I am. You can't take the goth kid out of me no matter how hard you try.

    For a Dracula movie, I adore the 1980s movie "Love at First Bite". Along the same lines was "Zorro, the Gay Blade". Great, silly, funny adaptions of classics.

    And I agree with Wendi, no need to take the goth kid out of you!!

    I'm a huge fan of Leslie Nielsen (grew up in the era of Airplane! and all it's sequels) so I support this choice. Also, a couple years ago, my then 17-year-old was looking for good Halloween movies. I asked if she'd ever seen Beetlejuice and - shocker - she had not. She wasn't much interested at first, but once I got her to sit down and watch it? It's now one of her favorite Halloween movies. :)

      How can one possibly go wrong with Leslie Nielsen and Beetlejuice?

    All great movies. The Addams Family, firs movie got me out of a deep funk when it came out. Sometime black humor can make you feel better. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/06/wc-062420.html

      I love the first Addams Family movie too. And I totally agree that sometimes a bit of black humour makes everything better.

      I've stopped liking him too, if it's to any comfort. I think a lot of us have.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
