evening clickbait: I am a heroine of cinema; who’s the robot that won’t cop out?; Magneto killed JFK; The Representation Project; John Sayles cannot get his films funded; Melissa Leo, agent of awesome

• Hey, apparently I am a heroine of cinema — under “T for Twitter” — and am “appealingly autonomous.” “Heroines of Cinema: An A to Z of Women in Film in 2013” [Indiewire]

• “Who’s the robot that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about?” “Oh yeah” [Katy Wheatley on Facebook]

• I thought it was pretty much established that the Comedian killed JFK, but I’m always open to new theories. This X-Men one sounds plausible. [The Bent Bullet ]

• Sounds great. But my eyes glaze over reading this description. Really, we just need more women in movies and making movies. “The Representation Project”

(h/t Neima Izadi on Facebook)

• Even John Sayles — John Sayles! — cannot get funding or distribution of his films. Something is seriously fucked up with how we’re making art. “Professional” [Truly Free Film]

• In case you were unaware of how awesome Melissa Leo is: “‘I would like to see more feature films made by women. Who can donate $6,000 for six features?’ That’s when Oscar winner Leo stepped up to the plate. ‘I’ll do it!,’ she yelled out, raising from her seat.” “Melissa Leo Steps Up to Fund Women Screenwriters” [Women and Hollywood]
