It wasn't me... it was... my evil twin brother! This week, V and Emily look at a somewhat different kind of fandom by delving into the long, long history of As The World Turns, a daytime soap opera that ran for over 50 years. ATWT made television history in 2007 when they featured the first M/M kiss, and first positively-portrayed M/M relationship, on American daytime television, but of course, Luke/Noah were not without drama. Melodrama. This star-studded episode features green-card marriages, murder attempts, doctor-blackmailing, Meg Ryan, and Spanish prisons. What more could you want from your stories?

White Nights (1985). A Russian American ballet dancer's airplane is forced to land in USSR, where he's "repatriated". He stays with an American man married to a Russian. Will the American help him flee USSR?
This movie is ?? Insane ?? Yet it kinda works! I think a huge part of that goes towards its terrific cast and some really affecting sequences that merge the Cold War thriller elements with the post-Vietnam War trauma and, well, the power of dance. If that sounds wild, that's because overall it is, and its a testament to Taylor Hackford's skill as a director. Just a surprise from start to finish (complimentary). 7/10.

Franco Basaglia, Institutions of Violence [translated by Teresa Shtob], in Psychiatry Inside Out. Selected Writings of Franco Basaglia, Edited by Nancy Scheper-Hughes and Anne M. Lovell, Foreword by Robert Coles, Preface by Franca Ongaro Basaglia, Translated from the Italian by Anne M. Lovell and Teresa Shtob, Columbia University Press, New York, NY, 1987, pp. 59-85
«Let us confront the world of terror, the world of violence, the world of exclusion. We do not want to recognize that we constitute that world, because we are the institutions, the rules, the principles, the standards, the codes, and the organizations. If we do not realize that we partake of the world of threats and lies which overwhelm the patient, then we will never be able to understand that the patient's crisis is also our crisis.» – (p. 81)
