Why It's So Important For Girls To Find Role Models In Female Scientists

... in these fields who continue to be pioneering, successful women across the board in STEM — all kinds of women. And I really wanted to show that you also don’t have to feel relegated to be a doctor or a scientistic if this is the kind of thing you’re interested in. I wanted to highlight women in a variety of fields across STEM to show what kind of variety there really is in these jobs. “they were just people like us.”. It was really cool talking to Lynn Conway who’s a trans woman, who’s also been an activist for trans women in STEM, as well as her career in microchip development. It was really cool talking to Mika Mc Kinnon, who’s a science consultant on television shows; or Dr. Buddhini Samarasinghe, who’s a science communicator and makes science more fun to regular people who don’t understand science super well like me. I really wanted to highlight those women who are still paving the way and hopefully will show people that it’s ...

2008 Animated Movie Is Getting An R-rated Director's Cut

... and financial success of both of these outings haven’t gone unnoticed by other studios, as DC is reportedly open to making more adult oriented movies as well. It may seem like a newer fad, but R-rated comic book movies are nothing new. Before Marvel Studios, Marvel put out several R-rated movies, including Punisher and Blade, and DC has also already gone beyond PG-13 with Constantine, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, and the Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition last year, so while it’s currently a hot topic, it’s hardly a new trend. In fact, DC has also branched into R-rated territory in animation with its adaptation of The Killing Joke. The animated Suicide Squad movie, Assault on Arkham , was also more mature, but that didn’t get the rating bump, serving as more of a “hard PG-13”. According to a recent result on Film __link__ , another adult oriented piece of DC animation is on the way with an R-rated “Director’s Cut” of the 2009 Wonder Woman animated movie. The listing only specifies “some violence” as its reason for the rating, so it’s hard to know what that means, especially in animation. Movie ratings can be a mysterious thing, and as we saw in the Batman v ...

Susan Eisenberg On Wonder Woman And Diversity In Entertainment

... wrong with you. I think if we can do that in the arts then that paves the way for other places. It's like with Ellen De Generes. They were talking recently about when Ellen came out on her show and so many people knew Ellen from the show and she was so beloved as her character and as her that it really eased people into acceptance. I think we can do better in all these different various platforms. It's obviously not only women, but people of color and just all of us. America has all of us here. We're all here. So we should all be represented and I just couldn't be a bigger supporter of that. But in terms of women specifically, that's why I'm so glad Patty Jenkins is directing the Wonder Woman movie. I could not be more thrilled that that choice was made and that she is in that position because I believe that the movie's going to be a huge success and it will just open the door for so many other women to do the blockbusters and more importantly to know that they can do any of it. Whether it's an indie film or a blockbuster, the capacity is there. The talent is there ...

How Wonder Woman Went Back To Her Roots

... Rucka and Sharp also updated Wonder Woman’s own costume, giving it an armored look similar to the outfit Gadot now sports in DC’s big blockbusters. It also provided an interesting bridge between the two parallel stories. “In Nicola’s version, this is brand new and has been made for a very specific reason. But the version I have has been in a lot of battles, she’s been 10 years in the world at this point, and it shows in the costume,” Sharp says. “So my version’s very battered and beat up, it’s a utilitarian piece of kit that allows her to move and be free.”. The proximity of the origin story also allowed Rucka to use characters closely tied to Diana’s backstory, like Steve Trevor and Etta Candy, in the modern setting in ways he wasn’t able to the last time he wrote Wonder Woman. DC Comics. “They are so core to the mythology,” Rucka says. “One of the first things Liam and I said was we’re going to make Steve Trevor cool again. You have to understand why he matters. You need to understand why these two people were drawn to each other, and what it is she sees in him. Diana comes with politics. When you try to take the politics out of the ...

Wonder Woman's Director Teases An Amazing Throwback

... series is very good or bad. Jack does the right thing all the time. I don’t think we ever really dove into it deeper than that. With this, we’re diving in right from the first episode. Wow, he went past those people and he didn’t help them. The haunting of the past is my favorite thing. Then his dialogue with himself. His turmoil is his fun because we never really got to get it to this level. Teen Wolf. Meagan Tandy will not be returning for the show’s final episodes. Stephen Amell posted a set pic wearing what appears to be his costume from season four—which is basically his costume as it is right now, sans sleeves. Another costume tweak or maybe even a flashback moment. i Zombie. A synopsis—and a few pictures—have been released for the season three premiere, “Heaven Just Got a Little Bit Smoother.”. YOUR FAVORITE ZOM-COM-ROM-DRAM IS BACK FOR SEASON 3 — Liv (Rose Mc Iver) has discovered there are more zombies living in Seattle than she previously believed. In fact, there’s a private military contractor employing a small zombie army, and that army is preparing for the day humans learn of their existence. Major (Robert Buckley) was ...

Best Shots Review

... into the eerily calm Doctor Cyber. Meanwhile, an interlude featuring Veronica and her daughter might be equally as heartbreaking, while a series of silent panels of Veronica deciding someone’s fate speaks volumes. If there’s any instance where Evely trips up, it’s with the reveal of the Cheetah herself - while she’s clearly comfortable with the human characters’ expressions, the monstrous Cheetah doesn’t quite have the horrific bite that Liam Sharpe gives his take on the character. Still, if these middling critiques are the worst I can say about Wonder Woman #18, we’re clearly in for a treat - that is, if your name isn’t Barbara Minerva. Rucka and Evely do a great job at reminding us that there’s more avenues for telling superhero stories than just wall-to-wall action - there’s plenty of drama to be mined by manipulation and betrayal, as well. It’s a testament to ...

Wonder Woman #18

... as nuanced as Evely’s work when inking over her own pencils. The real curiosity is how Romulo Fajardo Jr. shifted his color palette so significantly from working with previous arc artist Nicola Scott. It does give this sort of timeless nostalgia to an origin story meant to be read as from X years back, but the palette also falls flat in some places, particularly in larger splash scenes. What works for intimate talking heads moments doesn’t feel as delicate in action scenes. It just comes off as dark and muddy. What may make this entire issue worth the price of admission, however, is the deft work Rucka does on juxtaposing female friendships and how failure and best intentions leave them ruined nonetheless. I feel strongly that it all comes back to this beautiful, but haunting set of lines Diana utters to Ann before the latter embarks on her next expedition. [The Gods] have my faith. They have my loyalty. And ...

Singapore's Connection To Wonder Woman

... Mandarin. Back in Singapore on a personal trip, Ng, 42, tells The Straits Times at bar and restaurant Ce La Vi at Marina Bay Sands on Wednesday evening: "He's a very good chef and he was very famous back in the day. All the Liverpool football folks used to always go; Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish, they loved him.". Ng was born in the United Kingdom and moved to Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands off north-west Africa, when she was 13. Her five brothers are still there and her family now owns several eateries there. The former fitness instructor quips: "I get everyone fit, they get everyone fat. I'm the black sheep.". Maybe because she has five brothers, she grew up watching Bruce Lee movies and would rather play with a stick than with dolls. She says: "It was my dream to be in a martial arts movie.". Her mother took her to a gongfu class with her brothers when Ng was eight. Most of her siblings stopped after a while, but she continued. She later spent some time in Singapore in her 20 s when she lived with her aunt, picked up taekwondo and travelled. In 2003, she went to ...
