I currently have five shows streaming on a multitude of platforms. They all have been subject to different topics over the years but as my subscription is coming to a close we will be reducing our network to one show. Basically it is a ratings war for the next ten weeks, whichever show performs the best over that time is the winner and will be the only show moving forward. There are some reasons I will get into as we talk today.
Throughout the year we are subjected to different entertainment options. In the world of cinema, we have the option to watch a handful of movies and then later in the year a corresponding award show.

This award show is not predetermined and in involves all the films released in 2021. So sit back, relax, grab a beverage or two, and celebrate a year in review of 2021 Best Films. Welcome to the Film Gauge Awards, our opinions may not mimic those that are in the industry but we still offer unique opinions that deserve to be heard.

In this country an old couplet directs that the bride shall wear:â"Something old, something new, Something borrowed, something blue." "The something blue" takes, I am given to understand, usually the form of a garter, an article of dress which plays an important part in some wedding rites, as, for instance, in the old custom of plucking off the garter of the bride. "The something old" and "something blue" are devices to baffle the Evil Eye. The usual effect on the bride of the Evil Eye is to render her barren, and this is obviated by wearing "something borrowed", which should properly be the undergarment of some woman who has been blessed with children: the clothes communicate fertility to the bride.
