Critical Writ: Emmys

Vox revisits the Gamergate controversy, and talks about how Zoe Quinn has survived and is now speaking out about the idiocy of allowing the so-called "alt-right" AKA ACTUAL NAZIS the free reign to have a public platform.

Okay but why? Inexplicably, the Emmys became the stage upon which Sean Spicer, Trump's former spokesperson, was allowed to rebrand himself, and join in on the joke that he was once the butt of.

For today's musical hit, we have Miike Snow and "Genghis Khan," because I adore a good gay love story, especially when it involves a super spy and a super villain. And a super catchy tune.

And also because this is one of the greatest music videos ever made.

Today's critical rolls: What are some of your favorite music videos? Seriously this is way at the top of my list. Show me other awesome videos!

Critical Writ has a super-duper strict comment policy that specifies a single rule above all others: we reserve the right to ban you for being a terribad citizen of the internet.

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)?
