« Vous, les hétéros, vous croyez toujours qu’on est parano ! Qu’on voit de l’homophobie partout ! Mais tu crois quoi ? Que parce qu’il y a une petite loi sur le mariage, tout va bien ? » Catherine, Baisers Cachés (2016)

so five years later i’ve watched the three versions

Italian version is the longest and still is missing a scene that is in the french and US version

French version has some scenes missing here and there compared to the Italian version but seems to be the most complete, with all the gay scenes

the US version is missing several whole scenes, especially gay ones (at least two, including one that completely changes the ending of the romance, which makes it a very sad ending, when it’s a pretty hopeful one in the end)

The sex scenes isn’t edited in the same way and it is a tiny bit longer in the US version than in the others??? but i guess since their love story ends badly in the movie, the distribution company didn’t mind (honestly, if i was the director, i would have respected their wishes like “yeah they need a tragic ending” and make the sex scene longer without them noticing). I’m not 100% sure tho if it is really longer ^^ but it is definitely edited differently

I tried to find a DVD of the UK Version that aired on the BBC and apparently it does not exist ??? there are portuguese versions and dutch versions, but i have no idea if those are based on the UK and dubbed or just with subtitles.

anyway, i’m really curious about the actual director’s cut and i have no idea which one it is (maybe the BBC wanted some cuts and it was edited again for its release on DVD in the other countries

Priest, censored and uncensored versions

I was curious as to how they were different so I’ve downloaded five different versions of it. Found four to be 97 minutes long and one to be slightly longer, about 102 minutes.

The first version I watched is the censored one I believe, as scenes in which homosexuality is brought up are cut short. Before I knew there were several version, I had a weird feeling because of some scenes, felt there wasn’t enough said, well turns out they were cut!

Anyway, the Italian, the Irish and the French versions are COMPLETELY different. I had downloaded the French version because it was said on the cover to be longer than the others, but it’s still 97 minutes long. But the first 15 minutes have just a few scenes in common with the censored version! I am baffled! 

I need to watch the Italian and French versions fully.

who else wants to keep drake the fuck away from millie bobby brown?

for starters, just so you have some background, drake is currently dating an 18 year old girl he met when she was 16, he is 31.

also here’s a tweet from drake himself talking about fucking young girls

and noww let’s talk about how he’s preying on Millie.

At the Emmys, when asked about her friendship with him, she said he regularly texts her things like “I miss you” and that they’re very close, also, that they talk about boys/dating advice. He is a 31 year old man and this is a 14 year old girl. He’s talking to her about boys and dating and sending her “I miss you” texts, there’s a word for this. It’s called grooming. (Grooming is when someone builds an emotional connection with a child to gain their trust for the purposes of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking. Children and young people can be groomed online or face-to-face, by a stranger or by someone they know - for example a family member, friend or professional.)

He met his current girlfriend at sixteen talked and flirted with her, groomed her like this, and is now in a relationship with her. It is so disgusting to see people claiming this is normal, the industry she is in is highly pedophilic and she’s a child. This is not normal or okay, a 31 year old grown man has no business texting a 14 year old girl like this.

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

I’ve seen a few ppl reblog panicked posts about Article 13. So.

Hey hey hey hey hey. Calm down! Yes, it was approved. No, I don’t think it’s a good thing. But there’s some misinformation spreading, so here are a few things, specifically about Article 13:

1) Fair Use is still a thing. None of the things ppl are saying will become illegal will become illegal.

2.) What the law would mean is that the RESPONSIBILITY for posting material that is in violation of copyright goes from the users to the platforms. That means that if someone reposted my drawing on let’s say Instagram, I could sue Instagram for letting that happen.

3.) This would mean that platforms will have to implement something similar to what Youtube and Twitch are already doing; an algorithm to block/catch copyrighted content.

4) BUT because Fair Use is still a thing, those algorithms will have to be paired with an appeal system, like the one on YT. Because the algorithms will probably be bad at catching content that isn’t in violation of copyright law, such as parodies etc.

5) Now, as we’ve seen on Youtube, the algorithms are not good at this fair use thing, and stuff like reviews become targeted by them all the time. This is why I think the law is ultimately going to be doing more harm than good.

6) NOTHING IS BECOMING ILLEGAL IN TERMS OF CONTENT. PLATFORMS IGNORING COPYRIGHT VIOLATION IS.

7) If companies give their consent to using, for example, their games in let’s plays etc., it’s still perfectly legal to post those (just like before). Most game companies, like EA has given blanket permission to post about their games online. This includes let’s plays. (Nintendo is like the only one that hasn’t, and only approved creators may post for example Zelda let’s plays, that’s been a thing on YT for ages)

8) Again, TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS ARE PROTECTED. You can still post those. There’s just probably going to be some extra steps in doing that, because algorithms suck. Like having to make an appeal if your content is transformative etc. this includes memes (if you aren’t just reposting), simblrs, fan art, fanfiction, parodies, reviews, etc.

9) How this will be handled will ultimately be up to the various platforms. They will choose the option that saves them most money. They don’t want to risk getting sued, so they’ll probably implement an algorithm to catch illegal content. WORST CASE scenario (which is unlikely) is that some platforms decide they don’t want to deal with this law and blocks their services from ppl in the EU. It’s possible, but probably won’t save them money in the long run. So. Algorithms.

THIS WILL NOT AFFECT NON PROFIT SITES (Wikipedia etc.), OPEN SOURCE SITES (Github etc.), NON PROFIT EDUCATIONAL REPOSITORIES, AND CLOUD SERVICES.

ALSO ARTICLE 11 DOES NOT CONCERN INDIVIDUALS. It would mean that news sources would be able to collect licensing fees from social media platforms that allow links from news sources, IF THE LINK INCLUDES A PREVIEW (like most sites include now) OR THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE ETC. The law does not mean that individuals have to pay news sources to post links.

Again, it’s not a good idea in my opinion, but we’re not disappearing and Fair Use is still a thing. Simblr isn’t illegal. We’re okay.

theory: “mamma mia!” (2008) and “kingsman: the secret service” (2014) take place in the same universe

my evidence? 

colin firth.

in “mamma mia!”, which is arguably set in the 90s, he plays:

an englishman named harry

whose last name is not known

who demonstrates an affinity for aliases (”harry headbanger”)

who lives in london

who works as a banker which sounds fake

isn’t “spontaneous”

is gay

in “kingsman: the secret service,” where the main story is arguably set in 2014, he plays:

an englishman named harry

whose last name is now revealed to be hart

who demonstrates a penchant for aliases (”galahad”)

who lives in london

who is actually a secret agent…which he has to lie about and tell people he’s some boring job like a banker

can’t afford to be spontaneous bc he’s a secret agent and if he doesn’t plan things out he will probably die

tells a random woman that he’s gay (among other things) (he’s implied to be lying but literally nothing in the film indicates that anything in the line where he says that is not true)

CONCLUSION: Harry from “Mamma Mia!” and Harry from “Kingsman: The Secret Service” are the same person. The opening scene (before it jumps to “17 years later”) of Kingsman takes place, at most, a few years apart from the events of “Mamma Mia!” Also, Harry Hart is gay. Thank you for your time.

this headline gave me heart problems

[nonsensicalname]

Matthew Hodson: “ 20 years ago, 2 years after the arrival of combination therapy that effectively treated #HIV, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s LGBT newspaper ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.”

WE NEED YOUR HELP

One of Germany’s oldest forests is about to be destroyed for charcoal!

The Hambacher Forst is 12,000 years old and the oldest trees about 350 years old and is home to many animals and plants.

But now the energy company RWE wants to clear it to get charcoal for coal-fired Power stations.

There are 150 activists that try to save it but get brutally dispelled by 3500 policemen. 17 got arrested, many got hurt.

Please, sign the petition to stop the clearing!

I’m sorry that it’s German, I hope it also works for those who don’t understand German or live in Germany.

We are multiple generations now with no experience with strikes, and I see a lot of confused, well meaning people who want to help but don’t know strike etiquette.

1. Never cross a picket line of striking workers.

2. Never purchase or take free goods from a company who’s workers are striking

3. Honk to support strikers if you drive by a picket line.

4. Join strikers on the picket line even if it’s not your strike, but follow their directions and defer to them while there.

5. Say “that’s great, the strike is working, the company should negotiate with their workers” whenever someone complains about profits lost, inconveniences or other worker-phobic rhetoric. Always turn it back on the company, who has all the power and money.
