Mary Tyler Moore’s ardent support of animal rights once ruffled a few of her neighbors’ feathers.
The actress, who died at the age of 80 on Wednesday, was never afraid to fight for the rights of all animals, and she proved her dedication to the cause when New York City’s most famous bird needed her help.
Pale Male the red-tailed hawk was hatched in 1990 and rose to fame when birdwatcher Marie Winn, who gave him his name, wrote about him in her best-seller Red Tails in Love. According to Winn, Pale Male was one of the first red tails to nest in a building,...

With 2010 only a week over, it already feels like best-of and top-ten lists have been pouring in for months, and we’re already tired of them: the ranking, the exclusions (and inclusions), the rules and the qualifiers. Some people got to see films at festivals, others only catch movies on video; and the ability for us, or any publication, to come up with a system to fairly determine who saw what when and what they thought was the best seems an impossible feat. That doesn’t stop most people from doing it, but we liked the fantasy double features we did last year and for our 3rd Writers Poll we thought we'd do it again.
I asked our contributors to pick a single new film they saw in 2010—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they saw in 2010 to create a unique double feature.

[Our thanks to Frako Loden for offering her review of The Legend of Pale Male to the Twitch readership.]
It's December, and I was looking over the films I'd watched all year. I was also planning to participate in my first bird count--a winter reckoning of peregrine falcons in the San Francisco Bay Area. Then I saw Frederic Lilien's new documentary The Legend of Pale Male (2009), and it dawned on me that some of the most emotionally affecting footage I saw in 2010 didn't have a director and probably wouldn't even be considered film. The footage was from web cameras focused on nesting birds in various parts of California, and I needed to account for its power over me during the weeks and weeks I spent gazing at it on my computer screens this year.
But first, The Legend of Pale Male. Far from webcam footage, this tenderly told love story of a red-tailed hawk family and its human cheering section in New York's Central Park was made by Belgian immigrant Lilien,...

The story of how New York went to the birds is contained in Frederic Lilien's documentary "The Legend of Pale Male." Pale Male, as you might remember, is the name given to a red-tailed hawk who captured the attention of residents, tourists and the press when he roosted atop a Fifth Avenue co-op building across from Central Park in the 1990s. His high-toned neighbors included Woody Allen and Mary Tyler Moore. Such a bird had not been seen in Manhattan for nearly a century,...

I don’t even know where to begin with Clint McCance, and Midland County School Board member from Arkansas. The nicest thing he posted on his Facebook page just before Spirit Day was
““Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way im wearin [sic]it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed therselves [sic]because of their sin. Really People.”
It got nastier and crueler from there, and he makes policy decisions for children. Speaking of, he’d disown his own if they were gay. It seems like he’s got a lock on Asshat when I post the poll Friday. Read the full story at Human Rights Campaign. Protect the children from people like him.
Probably a distant second is going to be the Catholic Church,...
