My Critique of the Critique Challenge Itself
A simpler challenge, causing many to pen a quick entry. I’ve observed funny, detailed, and clever entries flood in; watching in awe as people announce they're submitting twenty, thirty, or even fifty submissions! I refuse to jump on the bandwagon... I shall not... I will not... ah f*ck it, - post.

The Big Short
An absolute rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish; dread, hopelessness, defeat, excitement, hope ironically enough. The Big Short has it all. A fantastic, hilarious, tragic film that's able to simplify complex wall street vocabulary, into an easily digestible and understandable message about greed and corruption. Please, watch this film.

When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?

50 Critics: Krush Groove
When capturing the purest spirit of what Hip Hop is all about, especially when it first began the film Krush Groove is a great place to start. The film is an amazing semi-autobiographical depiction of the rise of Hip Hop’s legendary record label Def Jam and its creator Russell Simmons.

Challenging Yourself to Overcome Writer's Block
A critique challenge? Just 50 words? Not sure about this. Seems interesting but hard. Fifty one words! Gotta cut something. That was fun. Another day. Too many positive ones. Should probably balance it with something else. Let me take it to the extreme, and see how many I can write?

National Geographic
What do you do when you don’t have the money to travel? You get a window, that's what you do. Sometimes you buy the window. But when you can't, you borrow it from the library. That’s what National Geographic was for me as a child. The window of my dreams.

Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can
Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.
