Interview: Kristy Guevava-Flanagan On Her Documentary 'Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines'
Posted 4/12/13 4:00 pm EST by Charles Webb in Comic Books, DC Comics, Interviews, TV
Watch Coming Soon to Independent Lens: Wonder Women! on PBS. See more from Independent Lens.
For a character with no real footprint in the pop culture landscape (no feature film in development, no TV series in the works, and only one comic at publisher DC), Wonder Woman nevertheless occupies a huge space in the public consciousness. At least, that's the argument of filmmaker Kristy Guevava-Flanagan, whose hour-long look at the history of Wonder Woman "Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines" draws a line between William Moulton Marston's Amazonian princess and the birth and progress of the feminist movement.
"Wonder Women" positions the character as kind of the patron saint of feminism: strong, confident, bold, and at the same time marginalized, minimized, and sometimes only grudgingly part of the conversation. As disappointing as it is to see the character pushed to the margins of pop culture over the years, it's heartening to see so many creatives and thoughtful women still inspired by the legacy of the character.

Myers And Carvey Make Up, 'Wayne's World' Reunion Event Planned For April 23
Posted 4/12/13 11:59 am EST by Charles Webb in Movies, News, TV
One of the stranger rivalries to develop among "Saturday Night Live" alumni was the one between Mike Myers and Dana Carvey* who've been quietly feuding over the years about their work together on the big green adaptation of their "Wayne's World" skit. Even after the 1992 film made piles of money for Paramount (full disclosure: MTV and Paramount share parent company Viacom), Carvey felt that Myers was trying to minimize his role in a sequel (after Myers allegedly attempted to block Carvey from being in the first film), and even Penelope Spheeris, who directed the film, was even dragged into the mess, blocked from directing the lackluster "Wayne's World 2" after ignoring Myers' editing notes. Most of the beef seems to stem from Myers (who's become terribly rich thanks to the "Shrek" and "Austin Powers" franchises) engaging in beastly behavior with his collaborators.
Well, all parties have decided to put the past behind them, agreeing to participate in an April 23 reunion event at the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences Wilshire Boulevard location, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
