It’s About Time.
At the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, Ginsburg had this to say about the #MeToo movement: \"It's about time. For so long women were silent, thinking there was nothing you could do about it, but now the law is on the side of women, or men, who encounter harassment and that's a good thing.\"
Ginsburg isn't worried that the #MeToo movement might cause a backlash against women. \"So far it's been great,\" she said. \"When I see women appearing every place in numbers, I'm less worried about a backlash than I might have been 20 years ago.\"
After that, said Ginsburg, \"the calls came barely once a semester and the reason was they had to think long and hard before asking a man to take time out of his work day to come to the school.\" Ginsburg spoke fondly of her late husband Professor Marty Ginsburg. She said, \"the remarkable thing about Marty is that he cared that I had a brain. No guy up until then was the least interested in how I thought.\"
At the White House, two men talk about having to get recertified in superhuman evasion training soon, which one of them mentions he doesn't like it. His colleague Steve tells him it is part of the job. He is indifferent about the upcoming training because he will be missing it. He is taking his stepson on a two-week vacation to London for spring break. Steve's coworker is curious about why Steve was excited to go, considering the difficulties Steve and his wife, Molly, experienced raising Matt. However, Steve mentions that Matt had pulled himself together and their problems were behind them now. He mentions that he never had a kid of his own, but he was proud to call Matt his son.
Suddenly, the ground starts shaking and splitting. From underground, two supervillains known as the Mauler Twins rise, but one complains that he should have checked his clone's calculations, since they were supposed to be inside the building. The other one gets angry and complains that he is not the clone. They are shot at, but they are unfazed. Steve shoots the one of the twins, and shakily orders him to back off. The twin approaches him, and Steve shoots him once again, damaging the twin's eye this time. Before he could kill Steve, the Guardians of the Globe approach the Mauler Twins and order civilians to be evacuated while they fight. The twin whose eye was shot asks War Woman if she could not have sat this fight out and let them kill the president, but she tells him that it was not her style.
Mark Grayson was in the bathroom, calmly reading a comic. Soon, his mother walked in on him to grab soap, which annoyed him and forced him to cover. Once they got downstairs, they watch the news, in which the Mauler Twins' attack on the White House was reported. Mark told her that the Guardians were there as well, and Debbie mentioned that the White House was rebuilt very frequently at that point. Nolan makes it home and kisses his wife, who tells him that they should get him out of that suit. Mark complains that his parents should not talk about sex in front of him, but his mother tells him that he should be happy to hear them express their love. They mention they would be going to Berlin, which makes Mark jealous. However, his father tells him that he could go himself once his powers kicked in. Mark leaves for school, and looks at his father fly away with his mother. He tries flying himself, but does not manage to do it and instead gets embarrassed when he finds out somebody was seeing him jump up and down.
Later, Mark takes out the trash at his job, which is not an easy task for him. However, he picks up a second bag and throws it very far, discovering his powers had kicked in, which makes him say \"It's about time.\"
He wakes up at 6:00 AM, very tired and his father tells him they would train. Once they are in the sky, his father tells him he would get the hang of flying, having to focus at first. His father tells him that flying could tire him, and to use momentum in order to relax from time to time. He told his son to relax and realized Mark had practiced the night before. He tells him to land, but Mark had a hard time doing so and eventually crashed into the ground. Nolan told him to hit him and to use his whole body while doing it, even practicing while flying. Nolan showed Mark how to punch, and hurt Mark, which Nolan told him was part of his preparation.
They fly to a tailor, where he tells Mark he would take him shopping for a suit. Art Rosenbaum greets Mark and tells him it was a pleasure to meet him, and gets Mark excited. Art hands him a suit, but Mark was not sure about orange and yellow and wanted something more iconic, which Art understood. Art told him that he needed a name from him so he could grab inspiration from there, telling him to let him know later.
Debbie asks him if he remembers his former bullies, and she told him about drama in her life to make him feel better. She also tells him that she was still there for him, but now instead of them being together, he was now more inclined to spend time with his father, which she understood. However, Mark says that he was nothing like his father and was more like her, asking her how he could ever live up to everything his father had done. She tells him he did not have to, and only had to be the best version of himself.
As two men try breaking into a building, they get scared about Darkwing who had seen them. He attacks both of them and manages to bring them down easily, handcuffing them and asking them about their boss. He was called and told them he would check with them the next day before leaving in his jet.

So, why did I watch it? So I could say I had, I think, and to try to recapture a youthful experience. I am about the same age as Pat Cardi, and remember seeing it before watching Ed Sullivan. The most memorable part was, indeed, the song. This was an interesting experience.
The episode begins with Spike in a dream sequence where he is showing Rarity around a mysterious land of ice cream. He shows her his house, made of ice cream and \"extra chocolate fudge\". He then wakes up at 3 AM and sees Twilight Sparkle pacing downstairs in the Golden Oak Library lobby, worrying about herself running out of time in this month's schedule to make a new schedule.
Twilight remains awake writing out her schedule until dawn. As she finishes, a bright light appears on the other side of the lobby. Another Twilight appears out of the bright light, with a messy mane, tattered black suit with an eyepatch and bandage, and a scar on her face. Twilight is initially shocked, since meeting another her is \"not scientifically possible.\" The other Twilight explains that she is from the future. Present Twilight asks how she figured out how to time travel, to which she responds by stating that the spell is in the Star Swirl the Bearded wing of the Canterlot Castle. Unfortunately, due to Twilight's intense curiosity about time travel, Future Twilight is unable to get a word in edgewise and doesn't have enough time to warn her of what will happen \"next Tuesday\", which is when she is from. She vanishes back into the future just mere seconds before she is able to convey her warning. The present Twilight assumes that because Future Twilight looked as bad as she did, she was going to warn Twilight about some kind of horrible disaster and determines that she has to find out what it is and prevent it.
Suddenly, Cerberus arrives from Tartarus out of nowhere and scares everyone but Spike and Twilight away. Twilight assumes that this was the disaster Future Twilight wanted to warn her about and prepares to stop Cerberus. Before she can do so, however, Fluttershy intervenes and soothes Cerberus by rubbing its belly. On being asked by Twilight for a ball, Pinkie Pie pulls one out of a tree knot, stating that she stocks balls all over Ponyville in case of a \"ball emergency\". She gives it to Twilight, who then uses it to lure Cerberus back to Tartarus. When Twilight returns the next morning, she's covered in soot. Spike suddenly belches a \"lost dog\" poster, noting that Princess Celestia hadn't heard about Cerberus being returned. However, the scroll hits Twilight in the face and gives her a paper cut on her cheek. When she sees this cut in the mirror, she notices that it's exactly the same cut on Future Twilight's cheek, and realizes that her efforts to \"disaster-proof\" everything have not worked.
In the next scene, Pinkie Pie arrives at the library, and inside she finds Twilight (now with a bandage on her head just like Future Twilight's bandage, due to the flowerpot incident) manning a variety of telescopes, machines and graphs, performing various calculations. Twilight has decided that since doing things, not doing things, and trying to predict the future have not done anything to prevent the disaster, her only choice left is to \"monitor everything.\" She uses one of her telescopes to look into the sky, but accidentally aims it at the sun, hurting her eye. Pinkie Pie whips out an eyepatch from the fireplace, stating that she stocks eyepatches all over Ponyville in case of \"an eyepatch emergency\" and puts it on her. With the eyepatch, Twilight looks even more like Future Twilight, and realizes that she has done nothing to stop the catastrophe. Twilight resolves that she only has one option left to stop the disaster: stop time.
Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Spike arrive at Canterlot by train to search for a spell to stop time. After avoiding a guard by pretending to be statues, Spike asks Twilight why they need to wear the black bodysuits, and Twilight tells the other two that the time spells are kept in the Star Swirl the Bearded wing of the archives, which is the most secure. They head off, but Twilight rips her suit on a bush, resulting in her looking just like Future Twilight. They enter the archives and begin to sneak around the guards in order to make their way undetected to the Star Swirl the Bearded wing. They end up going around in a circle and ending up where they started. A guard catches the trio, but recognizes Twilight and opens the door to the wing for her.
