Critical Hits & Misses #57

• The New Yorker has a pretty cool feminist timeline that takes a look at the past nearly one hundred years in American feminism, and what feminism looked like in that time. (Ivonne)


• Salon talks about what happens when a real human being becomes a meme on the internet. He uses the story of the rise and fall of Ken Bone, who became an internet celebrity after asking a question at the second Presidential debate. A pretty interesting discussion on the dehumanization of people when they become meme-mefied. (Ivonne)

For today's musical hit, Lindsey Sterling's new video, "Prism" for her newly released album. (Ivonne)

Today's critical rolls:

Critical Hits and Misses #13: August 24th, 2016

• Rayman Origins is available for free on Uplay for a limited time. If you ever wanted to check it out, now’s your chance. (Dominik)
• The 80s movie Lost Boys is coming to TV—as a story spanning decades, and with constantly changing human characters. In other words: probably not like Lost Boys at all, but Rob Thomas (the guy behind Veronica Mars and iZombie) is adapting it, so there’s reason to be hopeful. (Tova)
• "How Trolls Are Ruining the Internet": title says it all. (Ivonne)

• Critical Hits & Misses Question of The Day #1: What actor would you pay 1.5M to cosplay their own character and entertain a party?
• Critical Hits & Misses Question of The Day #2: What is the worst fictional language? (And, why is it Bizarrospeak?)
• Critical Hits & Misses Question of The Day #3: Which foreign movie star should be the next star of Star Wars?
