It's all so very Gay - whee!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek Canal+ is going to air The L Word *dies* You can always trust C+, man, always! Boy, PinkTV must be seething. A gay network and they lost the rights to broadcast The L Word? Must be tough!

[sing song] I'm going to see my lesbian show, I'm going to see my lesbian show [/sing song]

Besides Canal+ equals original version. Well, if they still do that? Apart from Cold Case, The Simpsons and Excel Saga, I don't watch Canal+ anymore, so I don't even remember if they still air their series in English as well - movies yes, but tv series?

Speaking of which, Angels in America premieres soon. It seems that that miniseries received lots of awards? How come I never heard about it? *blink*

AND they're doing another Gay and Lesbian Night on the 20th. Seems logical - they're doing it in parallel with the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival held in Paris that will start on the 19th. Hmm, would be nice to go btw. Need to check that out.

Is that any good? It's shown here and I've never got round to watching it, mainly because of when it's on, ie James' tv time after work when I have to fight him for the control.

Re reading I'm unsure if you've seen the show or not. Or if you get it off one of your contacts *g*

But yay for lots of lesbian and gay stuff going on!

What is the L Word? I mean, beside being about lesbians that is. What's the story? It's a good thing that Canal+ is airing something different, because it's losing its specificality (it's a word... isn't it?). But I hear people complaining about the movies they show - it's not their fault the movie production isn't that great! I wish they showed the tv series in English as well - they used to (remember Seinfeld? Oh, for some reason I was thinking about that episode that's told backward - how I loved it!)

Hum, anyway... what is the L Word?

also, I just edited my post with a comic - it's a funny one, I like it lol

Howdy. Angels in America, the miniseries, was based on the Broadway play from the '80s. It is absolutely fantastics, and available for rent at most Blockbusters. (Even Parisian ones. ~_^) Love, Roo

They did air 24 in English and still do I think (I resigned Canal+ 3 weeks ago. Too expensive. With one month of Canalplus i can have half a Meloni's shirt. My choice's made). :D

I think that Pink TV didn't have the cash to buy it. Anyway from what I read the main asset of Pink TV is porn and they confessed they had a lot of trouble finding *good* Lesbian Porn -actually finding Lesbian porn at all.

The Angels miniseries is fantastic. The screenplay was adapted by Kushner himself, and it stars, among others, Meryl Streep, Al Pacino and Emma Thompson. And, though I don't know the actors' names, Prior and Louis are particularly good as well. It won about a bazillion Emmys, but you might not have heard about it as it was on HBO, and plenty of people don't get HBO. I didn't until very recently (and not at school. *pout*). The DVD's were just released a couple weeks ago, so Angels fever might be picking up again as more people are able to see it. It's really a fantastic series (though I've only seen Millenium, not Perestroika, stupid schedule), though really not the same as seeing it live on stage. [/theatre eletism]

Emma Thompson is, as always, brilliant in all her roles (most of the double casting in the play is carried through here). There's some really fantastic stylistic things going on as well, but I'm usually the only one who notices these things, as I'm a whore for stylism. But yeah, definately worth a look. ;)

Ack! I do not have Canal+ and that sucks because damn, I love the L word! It's a great show, but mostly, it has Katherine Moening in it and what I'd give to be able to watch her in action properly... I mean, I did download about 7 eps from the series, but I had to watch them in low quality on my computer, ugh. And I don't want to get Canal+ just for that, cuz I couldn't afford it... *whines*

But hey, at least that means there's a chance they'll sell it on DVD in France, right?
