In all seriousness, who was this really? Wasn't she some computer science pioneer or something?
Margaret Hamilton: https://science.nasa.gov/people/margaret-hamilton/
I'm a little offended at referring to her as the director's assistant, given what she actually did. It could have been just as good a shitpost if she had been referred to as his screenwriter and not diminished how instrumental she was.
Fair point, even being a shitpost and all. I wanted to say lead writer + her name, but then it would have been hard to also mention Kubrick, making ppl realize the joke.
Regardless, she is an amazing person who achieved a lot already very young, and continued to do so. Btw she just turned 90 a day or two, that prompted me to create the post.
Well, thats interesting too! And the shitpost still gave me a chuckle.
To think that two feminist icons would be named Margaret Hamilton
Oh, if her middle name was Alexandria
False, that's Daniel Radcliffe in one of his quirky post HP roles
Daniel Radcliffe's Agent: Okay, Harry Potter movies are done, you're rich and famous now! What do you wanna do next?
DR: GET NAKED WITH A HORSE
Agent: ... Okay, and after that?
DR: NAIL GUNS TO MY HANDS
Don't forget the movie where he grows horns after his girlfriend dies. I was never a Daniel Radcliffe fan (never saw Harry Potter) until after he started making these fever dream movies. I love it.
Three words: Farting Corpse Buddy!
He wants to make and support weird art, he already has money.
Ah right, thanks!
She coined the term "software engineering," was the first software engineet, and also led NASA's software engineering division for the moon landing.
"engineet" you say ...
She led the team that did the code for the moon landing.
For a while this picture was used with a caption saying she wrote the whole thing by hand. What she did was impressive enough without needing to lie.
This is Chloe Sevigny reviewing the blow job scene in Brown Bunny.
