The Horrible Lineup Of Films Coming Out This Year

9 Movies 2017 Doesn't Need
List Challenge

Among the Hollywood blockbusters coming out this year, there are some films that shouldn't have even made the lineup:

1. The Mummy.


If I hadn't known what I was already watching, I never would have guessed The Mummy's trailer was an actually Mummy film. Instead it's an explosion fest featuring Tom Cruise. It's nice seeing a female mummy, but there doesn't appear to be an substance to this film.

2. The Fate of the Furious.

The last Fast and Furious film had a perfect send off to the late Paul Walker. Yet the franchise doesn't appear to be finished, and another film is coming out this year.

3. Fifty Shades Darker.

For Valentine's Day we will be treated to another film riddled in unhealthy relationships and rape culture. It's a sequel for a film that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

4. Monster Trucks.

While this film has already been released (in 2016 internationally, 2017 domestically), it has to be on the list. Paramount had a $125 million dollar budget for this kids' film featuring monsters inside trucks. It won't be making its money back.

5. Smurfs: The Lost Village.

Once again we're treated to a bad movie with blue people (sadly I'm not talking about the other one, Avatar). This is the third film in Sony's franchise of the smurfs. The second film only made a fraction compared to the first, making it unclear why a third was needed.

6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

After Johnny Depp's abuse scandal, it's surprising that he's still getting jobs. But that's Hollywood for you. With the last film being a bore, it's time for Disney to lower the pirate flag on this franchise.

7. Despicable Me 3.

Illuminations Studios is bring in the money with their annoying army of Minions. I'm not looking forward to the commercials featuring those yellow nightmares.

8. The Emoji Movie.

I feel like this idea was came up by an old guy trying to figure out a movie that's trying to stay hip. I have no words for this film.

9. Jumanji.

In honor of Robin Williams, it's sad to see one of his beloved classics being remade so soon. I have nothing against the actors in the remake, but it's not a movie I'll be seeing.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
