This is likely what all those people angry that Alamo Drafthouse will be doing women-only showings of Wonder Woman on opening night believe is actually going to happen…
We at the Alamo Drafthouse would like to officially apologize for our role in the end of mankind as we knew it, and the ascendant Gynocracy that followed. We didn’t know our women-only screening of Wonder Woman would result in the overthrow of all world governments and the total subjugation of men, but in hindsight we probably should have seen it coming.
“Why can’t women have one night to enjoy a character that’s meant so much to them over the years?” asked the Shadowy Figure. The woman came into our offices in a cloak as black as the grave, followed by three wild-looking dogs. Her voice had no age, or every age, it was hard to tell. Sometimes it sounded like more than one woman was talking. The Shadowy Figure made good points about Representation Mattering and Safe Spaces as she idly flicked raw flesh to her dogs. Around her swirled plumes of sickly sweet incense from a source unknown, but this is Austin, so we figured she was just keeping it weird. How naive we were.
About halfway into the film, Gal Gadot put down her sword and shield and turned to the camera.
“Who has hurt you?” she asked. “Who denied you, violated your person? Who has defiled your temple? Name them now.”
Please go read and share the whole thing. It’s awesome.
I, for one, welcome our new Amazon Death Squad overlords.
Got my tickets for Saturday morning at the Alamo!
Note to self: remember to wear your gladiator sandals to the theater.
