About time

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

I’m very happy to report that finally the original “Mädchen in Uniform” is going to be released on DVD in April 2008. So far, the movie from 1931 has only been available on tape in German with English subtitles. The cover art is a bit weird, showing just Hertha Thiele as Manuela, or more precisely, her head:

Not Loving Annabelle

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Sometimes it’s better not to get what you wish for: I had high hopes for”Loving Annabelle”, a lesbian movie that is generally described as “Girls in Uniform, today”: a student and a teacher fall in love with each other at a Catholic boarding school. Finally this movie has been released in Germany, and since I’m a big fan of the (semi-)original, I was really excited about it. Well, no more.

The B Word

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

The wonders of YouTube make it possible for me to finally take a closer look at something I have only read about so far: “All my children”’s lesbian storyline, centering around Bianca (Eden Riegel).

Actress Kristanna Loken has kinda confirmed she’s in a relationship with Michelle Rodriguez, and I can’t say I’m surprised :P.

Girls in uniform, the remake of the remake

Friday, October 20th, 2006

Having just previously caught a re-run of “Girls in uniform” (one of my favorite movies :cute:), I thought it was time to compare it to the updated version called “Loving Annabelle”. Movie Death Match!

What a nice way to leave an impression

Me = very pleased. The fourth season of FX’s “Nip/Tuck” is coming along very nicely, with lots of guest stars (Kathleen Turner, Larry Hagman, Brooke Shields, Sanaa Lathan, Richard Chamberlain and Jacqueline Bisset in the first two episodes alone :o) and so much queerness “The Advocate” jumps up and down with joy. Me, too, btw :P. I was more than pleasantly surprised when Jacqueline Bisset smooched Sanaa Lathan:

Care to be a little more specific?

“It does progress, but with it comes a lot of drama. A lot of drama.”

(Gabrielle Christian in an interview with Afterellen.com)

In other news, the earth is still moving. But seriously, like waiting three more months for the second season of “South of Nowhere” isn’t hard enough already… at least now we know that “a lot of drama” is going to happen. This is about as helpful as saying that the sun shines, or a pen writes. It’s a drama series - of course there’s going to be drama :roll:!

Don’t let the above rant let distract you from the fact I’m quite besotted with this teen show - I’m about 10 years too old to be actually watching it, so what :P? I’m still a big fan of Spashley, as the uber-cute couple of Spencer and Ashley is tenderly called among fans, and I’m very interested in how their saga continues. When is it October 6th again ;)?

Culture clash, interrupted

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

Yesterday, a big GLBT party took place in the Konzil, which is a huge building with halls you can rent for any kind of events. And guess what other party was held at the same time? A Turkish wedding :D! The approximately 20 kids running around the hallways were all going completely hyper when a 6.5 feet man in a black dress & stilettos walked by, hehe. And to top it all, both parties had to share bathrooms: trucker lesbians next to cloaked Turkish grannies - talk about a clash of cultures *gg*.
