- Did you watch the Emmys? Cuz it may be true that #OscarsSoWhite, but after last night, it appears that #EmmysSoBlack. People of color won big last night, and it was kind of awesome to see.
- If you haven't heard about this amazing film, mother! came out this weekend and appears to have been a flop. Which is sad, because it's a deeply allegorical film about women and the shit they endure. This analysis of the film, why it flopped, and what some of its allegory means is a good source of finding out about this mysterious little-marketed film.
For today's musical hit, Linkin Park just released "One More Light" in honor of Chester Bennington
Today's critical rolls: mother! was a pretty strange film, not at all typical of what the Hollywood of Transformers fame is dishing out these days. Have you seen any other non-mainstream, strange films you'd like to recommend (or just chat about)?
