Of the 26 individual nominees for directing, cinematography, and screenwriting at the 2015 Academy Awards none are women. We aren’t down with that, so we took an all female cast and crew and filmed this music video. You know the difference between an all lady crew and an all guy crew? Nothing at all! Please share if you agree!
I'm not really sure how my internet wanderings brought me to this story, but I'm so glad they did.

"Tourists had apparently been feeding Clay Henry his usual staple of Lone Star longnecks, and Hargrove threatened to castrate the goat, according to eyewitnesses. The mayor was found lying next to his testicles on Monday, Aug. 5."
North Korea Holds Tastefully Understated State Funeral for Nation's Oldest Unicorn
PYONGYANG, DPRK – On the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s 1,567,832nd day of clear skies and perfect sweater weather, millions of North Korean citizens gathered in Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung Square to pay their final respects to the nation’s oldest unicorn, Mujigae. Mujigae passed away on Sunday, the 73rd anniversary of Kim Jong-il’s birth, also known as “The Day of the Shining Star.”

The state funeral was witnessed by rows of devoted citizens who traveled hundreds of miles to witness the event. “It was one of the finest death parades I have ever seen. It’s what Mujigae would have wanted,” said local farmer, Lee Hyun. He quickly added, “We are not hungry at all. We are blessed with an abundant harvest from the Supreme Leader.”
North Korean authorities strongly dispute claims from the international community that Mujigae died from severe kidney failure, or that he is “not real.” “Mujigae could no longer bear his separation from the Great Leader and Eternal President of the Republic, Kim Il-sung, and the Dear Leader, Kim Jong-il. And so it was he journeyed across the fruitful plains of North Korea to join with them in their great sky palace,” said Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission and Unicorn Vice Marshall Choe Ryong-hae.

During the traditional post funeral military pageant General Lee Chin Ho explained that the South’s capitalist propaganda falsely paints the DPRK’s missile technology as ineffective, but only because when combined with unicorn and pegasus technology it is so efficient as to escape detection by imperialist satellites.
Kim Jong-un expressed contentment that Mujigae lived long enough to witness his country’s fourteenth straight sweep in every event of the Winter Olympics.
Five Things I Learned During the State of the Union
5. Senator Ron Wyden is Hannibal Lecter
4. President Obama pledged to connect 99% of our students to broadband over the next four years, leading to the child-robot army we've always dreamed of.
3. Eeyore + tanning bed = John Boehner
2. A wizard trapped Rep. Rosa DeLauro in this cursed suit until women receive equal pay for equal labor.
Okay, so I still haven't seen a bunch of movies I've been dying to watch like 12 Years a Slave, Wolf of Wall Street, Long Walk to Freedom, American Hustle, Upstream Color, No, Dallas Buyers Club, etc. I'm still right though.
10. Dog Days
It's a documentary about hot dogs. No, really.
9. Thor 2
I enjoyed this small indie production about one man's struggle against his ever increasing pectorals.
8. Behind the Candelabra
Matt Damon and Michael Douglas are great as Vegas showgirls. Or something like that. I was distracted by Rob Lowe's face.
7. Gravity
This is only the second film I've seen in 3D. The other was Pride & Prejudice.
6. Catching Fire
My BFF JLaw and I are totally gonna buy a house together and have pillow fights and stay up late talking about boys. Eeeeee!!!!!11!1!1!!!! <3
5. Frances Ha
I was surprised by Frances Ha. I was expecting some hipster love letter to Brooklyn, but Greta Gerwig is so damn likeable that I didn't mind all the ironic t-shirts and oversized glasses. Maybe it's because I related to her journey, or maybe I've been shopping at American Apparel too much.
4. Labor Day
Okay, aside from all the great performances by Kate Winslet, Barbara Streisand's stepson, Agent Coulson, and the kid, whatshisface, the real star of this movie is a pie. I'm not kidding when I say a time lapse shot of a pie baking made me cry. Not as much as that Subaru commercial with the puppy who turns into an old dog, but still...
3. Mud
Matthew McConaughey's shirtless torso turned in a stellar performance.
2. La Navaja de Don Juan
Do you like poignant coming of age stories about two brothers who just can't seem to get along and are both mourning the passing of their parents in very different ways? Okay, how about when that journey involves hookers, transvestites, pimps, and street gangs of small potentially homicidal children? Sound crazy? It is!
