Herland: The Motion Picture Event of the Summer!

"Places everyone."

It was Tuesday, and MJ was set to start the filming of the newest big-budget science fiction movie, "Unveiling a Parallel". The internet was going absolutely nuts about it, excited for the graphics, the actors, and the like. 4chan had decided that it would be much better if MJ had spent her time making the internet sandwiches, but MJ rarely listened to 4chan anyway.

"I think your Elodia has a question," MJ's personal angel, who was still in the form of Benedict Cumberbatch, said.

MJ waved over the lead actress, Lucy Liu. Lucy had been chosen for her acting capabilities and the fact that she was lovely and exotic even without makeup (though this had been a problem, and MJ suspected it would be a problem again).

Lucy stepped forward sheepishly. The fact that MJ's personal angel looked like Benedict Cumberbatch made Lucy uncomfortable in ways she was contractually obligated not to talk about.

"If this is about the false eyelashes, Lucy, I'm telling you. Elodia would not wear them," MJ said. Also, MJ thought Lucy's fake eyelashes were hideous, but that was for another post.

"No," Lucy said. "It's about the marketing for the film. It's been bothering me and I wanted to talk to you about it."

"All right, but we are on a schedule," MJ said in her most Big Budget Movie Director voice.

Lucy took a breath. "Are we really a utopia?" she asked.

MJ was taken aback. "What? Of course we are." A pause. "Well, I mean, you are." Another pause. "In the context of the movie."

Lucy nodded emphatically. "But---from what you said. About a utopia. The fact that we would need a plan, and a place and---"

MJ hadn't considered this, not really. But she supposed that this story had less of a structure than most of the other utopias that she had studied.

"I mean, I think Star Trek has more of a basis in utopia," Lucy added. She looked at Benedict Cumberbatch and her face went a bit red. "Sorry."

"It's all right. It's an odd numbered movie," Benedict said. "In a few years everyone will be pretending it never existed."

"Let's stick to the subject, shall we?" MJ said, letting out a sigh.

"Lucy's right, you know," Russell Crowe added, awkwardly appearing on the scene. He was to be playing Van, even though MJ had originally insisted that he was too old for the part. Still, when the studio dropped that amount of money in her bank account, she wasn't about to say no. However, MJ couldn't work out if he was awkward because of the topic, or because the Devil had taken the part of Philip Quast.

"Oh, here we go," Philip Quast said. "Go on, Javert. Tell us about it."

"There's no real plan for a utopia here," Russell said. "We were talking about it. Don't utopias require a plan? A way to make the utopia a reality?"

"Don't we just remove all women?" Benedict Cumberbatch said. "Isn't that a plan?"

"I don't know," MJ said. "I always thought utopias required far more planning than that. I'll bring it up with marketing. Back into places, everyone!"
