    A major Hollywood milestone has been met, and it’s been a long time coming. Ava DuVernay became mighty high in demand, fielding interest from a variety of projects as wide-ranging as Marvel’s Black Panther to an original sci-fi tale from the mind of Colin Trevorrow. Eventually she landed on an adaptation of A Wrinkle of Time at Disney as her next project, and as the film’s pre-production continues, we’ve now learned that it marks a genuinely new piece of history: DuVernay has become the first African American woman to ever direct a film with a budget over $100 million.

    This is aweome!!! A Wrinkle In Time is one of my all time favorite books.

    Obviously, I really enjoyed the new Ghostbusters, and I’ve been thinking about how much a movie like that would’ve meant to their characters when they were kids. I’m so excited for the kids who’ll grow up with this film as a part of their childhood! So here are Holtzmann, Abby, Erin, and Patty as junior high schoolers, growing up as geeks in their own respective, delightful ways.

    I don’t usually have time for fan art but my drawing hand’s been giving me trouble, so I wanted to try a looser style that doesn’t strain my muscles quite so much. Perfect opportunity to do something different, right?

    Another quote from the amazingness that is Jillian Holtzmann. This time for my best friend, since this is her favorite quote.

    Was thinking last night about an underrated line in Ghostbusters. I am probably getting the exact wording wrong, but when Patty was showing them around the subway, this conversation happened:

    Patty: That’s where I found the weird sparking thing.
    Holtzmann: What was it?
    Patty: Baby, if I knew, I wouldn’t have called it the ‘weird sparking thing’.

    What I love about this (aside from Patty calling Holtzy ‘baby’) is that again it supports the idea that Patty is never presented as less intelligent than the other Ghostbusters. She doesn’t know the term for whatever weird device was down there because none of us would unless we were specialists in that field. Any one of us in that theater would have described it a similar way. But she kind of defensively implies she knows how to use correct terminology, this just was something entirely new to her experience. Only moments earlier, she was regaling them with detailed history of the building above them because that is her expertise and she can break out that knowledge as fast as the other girls do their physics and paranormal science.

    I just love all these genius women on a team and I hate when it’s implied Patty can’t stand equally with them. Different field doesn’t mean less intelligent.
