I want to congratulate Troy Kotsur for winning the Oscar for Best Supporting actor and congratulate everyone involved in a movie named CODA for winning the Oscars for best picture and best adapted screenplay on March 27th! That wasn’t all; Troy Kotsur and CODA have won several awards before winning any awards from the Oscars. They won several SAG awards, such as outstanding performance by an actor in a supporting role in a motion picture (for Troy Kotsur), the best theatrical motion picture. They also won some BAFTA (Almost like Oscars but in British) and many more awards. Troy Kotsur became the second Deaf person to own an Oscar, he is the first Deaf male to win an oscar but the second to win the oscar, and the first Deaf person to win the oscar was none other than Marlee Matlin (along with the first Deaf female to win the Oscar). Marlee Matlin won the Oscar for her movie Children of a Lesser God back in 1987, so the gap for another Deaf actor or actress to win another one is enormous as it has been 35 years, so it was a way overdue, in my opinion. Both of them deserve the Oscars; I am a fan of both even though Marlee Matlin has me blocked on Twitter for some…

Blogger/Journalist, Reviewer, Photographer, Christian, Activist, Web Developer, and ATV Rider.Two nights ago, I finally found the time to watch a movie titled Free Guy. Free Guy movie was released last year on August 13th, in 2021, so I have been putting it off because I have been very busy with other things such as running all of my businesses and barely could find the time for anything until I finally was in the mood to watch a movie, so I picked Free Guy to watch out of many unwatched new movies I have waiting for me to watch. Free Guy movie is an action, adventure, and comedy movie starring Ryan Reynolds as its leading actor with Jodie Comer, Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Channing Tatum. With that being said, now that I have watched the movie Free Guy, I will do a movie review for you readers! It started pretty well, as the beginning of many movies usually does, and then gave us an idea of where the film would lead us to the end or let us know what the movie would be about. When I saw the beginning, I thought that any gamers who watch this movie would be excited and understand how it works, especially being starting over and over again – respawning. I believe that this movie pretty much portrays…
Here is a file of the formal letter. Text: Letter To Comcast, NBC, NBC Sports, and Peacock I am directing this letter to Comcast, NBC, NBC Sports, and Peacock. The NFL should also read this to influence any broadcasters to agree to allow airtime for Deaf translators when they auction the license for a network to broadcast their future Superbowl. The evening on February 13 was an exciting time and day for the Americans because they were the host of the NFL’s Superbowl LVI (56) game for the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals. While it was indeed an exciting time for America and the world, it was utterly disappointing to a group that has over 430 million population worldwide – the Deaf community. It was utterly disappointing because NBC, NBC Sports, and Peacock under Comcast (parent company) did not take the opportunity to be inclusive by making sure that American Sign Language interpreters for National Anthem with Sandra Mae Frank and halftime with Warren “WaWa” Snipe and Sean Forbes to share the airtime with other singers. Every Superbowl would only air a very brief, a few seconds of a person translating the National Anthem in American Sign Language, and I think that is not fair. How about disabling the entire audio during a singer(s) singing the National Anthem and…
I brought the movie Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on the day it was released digitally, but I never got the chance to watch the film, so it has been on my movies list for a couple of years, waiting for me to watch. There are many opportunities to watch the film, but I often skip it because I wanted to find the great timing to watch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. After all, it is the end of the Skywalker saga Star Wars franchise. I purchased a good number of movies; I skipped Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and watched some of the others because, again, I wanted to find the good timing to watch it – mainly because I wanted to savor it a bit. Now that I have watched Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker movie, the ninth (9th) installment of the Star Wars franchise and the last one for the Skywalker saga. So, I will review Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker here. What do I think of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker movie? Not best. Not by a far shot. They should do a lot better, especially knowing that this installment is the last one for the saga Skywalker or the last era of what we know as Star Wars since…
Today is nothing more important than my mother because today is her birthday and I want to say happy birthday, my dearest mom! As some of you see, this isn’t a usual article because it is not a personal letter from me to my mother, which is the most important in the world or universe to me. Every year, celebrating my mother’s birthday is extraordinary; she is still young even though she would deny that, but it is, and she continues to be beautiful as ever. My mom is my entire life; she has done so much for me more than anyone can ever imagine, and it would take a lifetime to give my thanks to my mom because it is countless. She is more than everything; besides being the best mom in the universe, she is also my best friend in the universe. God blessed me her being my mother, she is the best person that God has chosen to be my mother, and I am very blessed to be her son although I am only a child, which is good because so I won’t have to share her with anyone (haha!). My mom and I have done so much together, we have gone through so much together, and we will continue doing that for many more years ago…
Here at JoshiesWorld, I wish you a very happy new year of 2022! I am sure that many of you have goals or resolutions that you would like to accomplish in the new year of 2022. That goes the same with me, which I will be sharing in a few days in a new article on here so you can get an idea of what goals or resolutions I might have for the year 2022. As we are going into a new year, we have a new page of 2022 to do something that we learned not to repeat whatever we did in 2021 that was not good or our bad mistakes. Whatever we may have done that was not good for us in 2021 never be cleansed, but in 2022 we have a new slate to do whatever can reflect us in a good way. Sure, whether our 2021 year might reflect us in a good or bad way is something that we can never erase because it has been recorded. Now, how do we want the 2022 record of ourselves to look like? It is entirely in our hands on that one. Speaking of the 2021 record, of whatever we did, whether it is good or bad that reflects who we are, we have a chance to be…
This is Joshua “Joshie” Sullivan of JoshiesWorld. I want to write a personal letter here to all of you and wish you a Merry Christmas, along with a few tips! I hope that all of you enjoy your Christmas this year; I know that it is not the usual Christmas that many of us accustomed to as we are in a horrible pandemic that prevents many of us from being able to be with other family members or friends, especially on this special holiday day. However, we should keep our distance from others because we do not want to be the ones that expose them to this horrible virus and risk them not seeing them again next Christmas. But the good thing is that there is a technology that allows us to celebrate with our family members or friends, which is virtually such as video chat and or making a telephone call to them. Yes, it is not good as not being there to celebrate with them in person, but we must keep them all ourselves safe to spend time together again next Christmas when this pandemic is hopefully over. The technology is there, so we should take advantage of that, at least we get to celebrate with our family members or our friends while at the same time keeping…
The other day I decided to order some saffron after watching a few foods and cooking television shows because I often saw them using saffron in many of their foods, so that had me wanting to give saffron a try. I have never tried them before. So, I have decided to look up what saffron is all about and saw that it comes from some flowers. They are well known in Iran, where most saffron comes from, and they look delicious from a view. I looked saffron up on different e-commerce websites such as Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, Sams Club, and whatnot, then I found some at Amazon that convinced me to purchase one of them from there. The one that I brought is called Zaran Saffron; what got my attention was that it said they are handpicked and have the highest quality grade, which they call super begin. Many different makers make and sell saffron. I went with Zaran one because of many reviews and several articles that provide a top list of the best maker of Saffron – Zaran was often found to be in the top three of several top ten lists. When it was shipped to me, I was excited because it was something new to try, as I am always curious about something new to try…
