I saw a comment elsewhere that was like whenever I see a celeberity’s name come up I’m now hoping that they are dead.

YAS!!!! All the Professor Bhaer love!!! I actually wrote a chapter of my senior thesis on Jo and Bhaer’s relationship. As much as I love 1994 movie version (Byrne is still effing hott), rereading and doing such work on the novel for my thesis, I’d forgotten how different the novel ending is. Laurie is like mega ultra…

I’ve read that Alcott didn’t want Jo to end up with anybody and deliberately designed the Professor to be “ewww” as revenge!

No they don’t believe that, but they want their base to, so they just say it and no one says “that’s crazy and stupid get the fuck off my show”. Thus it becomes true to the base because no one called them out on their clownshoes bullshit.

I don’t think they believe Doug Jones wants to kill all babies, so much as they want to make Alabama voters believe it.

Lady’s got a point. Most of the country’s women have not accused Roy Moore of hitting on them as teenagers. In fact, 100% of unborn women, if we—if we’re talking unborn children women—which is what we really should care about, the unborn women in this country that Democrats are trying to murder—100% of unborn women…

His most famous movie (in my heart and my loins):

Excuse me, no. Little Women is Professor Bhaer’s most famous film.

I only found out about a harassment situation at a former workplace of mine years later. I knew both of the people involved, too. It’s usually HR policy not to discuss any details. Some people knew more than I did, but in most workplaces spreading that kind of info around is a fireable offense.

I’m going to try on “being a man” for fun and point out that I’VE never heard of Miller’s Crossing, so clearly Usual Suspects is more famous.

What John Oliver did was, literally, heroic. There are plenty of people who relish being the skunk at the garden party, and he’s not one of them. When I’ve seen him do things like this in the past, he looks really uncomfortable with it; even a bit scared. A hero isn’t someone who’s fearless; a hero is someone who is…

I said it elsewhere but I’m thinking after interviewing Snowden and upsetting coal barons, John Oliver’s got enough experience to go through with this. This stuff has to be small time for him at this point.

“Have you seen Tootsie?” he asked Oliver at one point. When Oliver insisted that he had and that he enjoyed Hoffman’s performance in it, Hoffman told a detailed story about staying in makeup and costume as Dorothy, the film’s title character, after shooting had ended one night and experiencing misogyny first-hand.…

Jesus- the most telling part is when the A-list actor for 6 decades asks the A-list exec if he’s the powerful man in the scenario.

But if you look at the history of humanity, change has always been created by people meekly and politely asking for it, then waiting patiently for the powerful to see the error of their ways! It’s always worked!

I saw an article on BuzzFeed with reactions from the people who were there, and many were like “what a bummer, why did Oliver have to change the subject/make everyone uncomfortable/forget he was there to discuss the film?” or “this is not the time or the place to put Hoffmann in that situation!” Those are probably the…

I adore John Oliver.

I’m pretty sure the women he harassed felt blindsided, too. Deal with being uncomfortable in every situation now, Hoffman. Welcome to Hell!

“Am I the powerful man” is about as tone-deaf as it gets.
