I get you. It’s a thorny issue to eulogize someone who seemed both flamboyant and oddly private. Especially when that person seemed to be a fundamentally good person as did Horn. Ultimately I suppose I’d lean toward it being Siegfried’s choice how far the discussion goes in that direction, and the authors’ choice…

its a workaround , but if you REALLY want to read the article , get chrome (or IE etc) and make the window narrow and narrower , eventually once its below a certain width it turns into a scrolling list ..please writers of AVclub , pass this message on to whatever editor though these slideshows are a good idea ..you’re…

I always got the impression they remained closeted and, as it was their preference, it seems proper to leave it alone. The rest of us have our assumptions (and I have to imagine most folks on this board agree in terms of the direction of those assumptions), but if they preferred not to talk about their relationship in…

Although "killed by a stingray while diving" was probably not on most people's list of "things that will kill Steve Irwin." Dude was Australian. Those people thrive on a continent that is actively trying to extinguish human life. That he died at all is shocking. 

Great obit, and as I read it, my phone notified me that another flamboyant showman, Little Richard, has died.

and this is why, despite it all, I still love people

Excellent job on this obit guys. 

I skipped to the end of this article to say I hate what you’ve done to the site. 

Fucking stop already with this slide show shit. NO ONE wants to page through 44 pages. 

It sure ain’t a ripoff of Jackson’s life.

With all these new adaptations of beloved book series, I would LOVE if someone revived the Boxcar Children.  This would be a terrific one, and goodness knows, there are plenty of books in the series to draw from.  

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the boy who cried Woolf.

I love that this show focuses episodes on individual characters. It’s effective at spotlighting the individuality and specific challenges unique to each of these women— they aren’t reduced to a monolithic ‘agenda’. It allows the show to breathe and portray each of these people with their own unique hangups,…

I remembered one other thing I wanted to say. There was a comment on another episode recap that said George McGovern didn’t do anything and was unimportant. This is not true. He was one of our last great liberals. As a senator he refused to sign legislation authorizing weapons use, he was firmly against the…

I’ve been interested to read your recaps. I’m in my 60s, and lived through all of this as a young feminist activist. I understand how a lot of this flummoxes you who didn’t live through it, so I’ll say just a few things, hoping it will give you some context. These are in no particular order, just the points that come…

Hm, it’s more because I’m queer and I find it really hard to relate to a character that finds it hard to understand her queer son’s humanity. I guess I should’ve made that more queer, I mean clear.

As a sidenote, there were three really awesome comparison scenes between Phyllis and Jill in this episode.

While I get the complaint about focusing each episode on a specific character, I feel get the decision. It isn’t just the show attempting to feature how divided and multi-faceted movement was, and how many issues it was dealing with, but it is also positioning Phyllis as a twisted reflection of all those parts of it.

The scene with Shirley and Bella debating whether it was worth coming out against their colleagues when it could mean losing liberal votes at a crucial time hit pretty hard given the Reade allegations. This show does a pretty good job of feeling relevant to today without getting preachy or losing track of the…

Not sure if this is question is in good faith, but I think it’s pretty clear she means that it’s hard for some of us to empathize for someone’s struggle over thinking that her gay son is a pervert who’s going to hell. I still found the confession scene affecting, but more because it was a demonstration of how fucked…
