I don’t normally make posts like this, but I feel like this is something I need to do because it’s bigger than myself. So, I don’t know if you’ve heard but the Wonder Woman film comes out June 2nd… And if you didn’t know that, there’s a reason for it.
Warner Brothers aren’t spending money on promoting the Wonder Woman film. No tv promotions, billboards, nothing. A film about a strong, powerful, amazing woman superhero directed by Patty Jenkins who happens to be the first woman to direct a superhero film with a female protagonist and one of only a handful (a literal handful… you can count on one hand) to direct a superhero film at all.
They are setting it up to fail so they can say “I told you so” and not only continue the blatant sexism in the film industry but blame it on Patty if the movie fails, setting female directors up (whom are already told they won’t get hired) so they can have an excuse to say “Oh well, we tried hiring a woman to direct a film and it didn’t work. Lets not do that again.”
This film is bigger than just being a superhero movie… It has the ability to bust open the glass ceiling of Hollywood to tell them that yes, superhero movies about women do well and yes, women can not only direct blockbusters but they can do it well. Because I can guarantee you, Patty does it well.
PLEASE spread this around and let Warner Brothers know we aren’t going to stand for this bullshit.
GO SEE WONDER WOMAN JUNE 2nd!!!
This is a called a glass cliff (when men put women in positions of power + set them up to fail). I hope it doesn’t work this time!
I have been looking forward to this movie and for reals?! Theres no promotion for it?! I thought it was me and my disconnection to the tv world
I think I mostly have followers that are Marvel fans, but come on, y’all. I’ve heard for YEARS how bad you want a female superhero movie. It’s not a Marvel character, and it’s not a Black Widow movie, but you won’t get either of those if Wonder Woman fails. Go out, see this movie, then go and see it again. The reviews, so far, have been really good with some critics claiming it as “the best DC movie yet” (http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/05/19/wonder-woman-first-review-reactions/). GO FORTH AND DO GOOD THINGS, my friends!
It’s time for all of us Marvel and DC factions to join sides and promote the hell out of this.
Because I promise you, both studios absolutely are paying attention to what happens.
I’m not really all that into superhero movies, but heck yes I’m going to see this. Probably several times. We women filmmakers gotta stand with each other.
I got a request for some Granada Holmes links but since the other masterpost has youtube links which have died I decided to put together a masterpost with DailyMotion links – enjoy! (If any ever die just give me a shout and I’ll update <3)
Update: May 2017 – Unfortunately tumblr fails to correctly redirect the old links, so now here are some new ones!

The National Institute of Health (NIH) has had its spending increase by $2 billion to a total of $34 billion. Trump requested this to be cut.
NASA has been granted $19.7 billion in funding, an increase even on what Obama requested. Of this, $5.8 billion is set aside for science research, including $1.9 billion for the Earth Sciences – something Trump officials said they wanted completely defunded.
$37 million has been given to NASA’s STEM programs and outreach, with $100 million total going towards educational programs, something Trump also wished, and still wishes, to cut by 2018.
The National Science Foundation (NSF), the largest federal fund for science and academia, has been given $7.5 billion, a slight increase from 2016’s budget.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has been given $1.09 billion, a slight increase from 2016. Trump wanted to cut this by 10 percent.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which faced a 31 percent cut by this year or the next, has only had its funding cut by 1 percent.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been given $3.5 billion
Renewable energies and clean energy research funding have been boosted by $17 million.
“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s six kids have been in the spotlight for their entire lives (and for their three biological children, since they were literally in their mother’s womb). Maddox was born on August 5, 2001 and adopted by Jolie on March 10, 2002. Zahara was born on January 8, 2005 and adopted by Pitt and Jolie on July 6, 2005. Shiloh, the couple’s first biological child, was born on May 27, 2006. Pax was born on November 29, 2003 and adopted in March 2007. Brangelina’s youngest kids, twins Vivienne and Knox, were born on July 12, 2008.“
I was reading through one of those clickbait articles (this one on MSN and I can’t find an author), but I was struck by the use of language. Instead of addressing Shiloh’ s gender identity at all, they simply used language which avoided gender for any of the kids and I thought that was kinda neat. All the other celebrity kids articles used gendered terms like she, he, daughter, son, etc. Right now it is Shiloh’s business who they are and it was nice to see it presented as a non issue and in a way that didn’t even draw attention to it. The only reason I noticed is that I am aware how much of an issue it was a few years back in the media with all kinds of articles speculating.
I won’t speak for all liberals, but I’d like to see a future where it isn’t a big deal for a woman in full modesty garb to sit next to a drag queen in NYC. It’s become a bit of a sensation, but her and I were just existing. The freedom to simply be yourself in a sea of people who aren’t like you is a freedom we all deserve.
The central irony is that this isn’t some hypothetical future–it’s just present day reality. This is a picture of two ordinary people going about their normal lives despite how haters want to politicize it lmao. So the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”
