1) So I'm finally under antibiotics and of course the one I'm taking has the side effect of leaving a total sour taste in my mouth all day unless I'm eating. *sigh*

2) Seriously, most stupid thing I've heard since this country's PM's jokes on Barack Obama.

On Brokeback Mountain getting ridiculously cut on the tv. Uhm, half-rant I guess. )

I remember when we got Brokeback Mountain on TV and it was shown in its entirity...however, despite this, the same channel that aired it first feels the need to cut Watership Down.

As for Twilight, I was asking people a few weeks ago whether it was worth my money and effort to buy and read the series. I decided it wasn't but I will see the film (and the only reason for that is because I have a film pass that allows me to have unlimited trips to the cinema for £11.99 a month). As a self-proclaimed film buff, I make the effort to see every 'blockbuster' and film starring a major actor/ess (like I saw Lakeview Terrace because it had Samuel L Jackson it: it was terrible).

Ok, I'm sick and I like to say stuff in the form of comments.

They seriously cut Watership Down? Oh God. Seriously, censors are horrible.

I want a pass like that too! And hey, I watch all the movies from that guy I spammed yesterday and they ALL suck. From what I gathered, the Twilight movie is better than the books and doesn't have the infamous 'do I dazzle you' quote because seriously, dazzling vampires? All the excerpts I read were so bad that I seriously burst out laughing at some parts. ;)

They cut the part where the dogs attack the rabbits. I have no idea why.

And someone had told me that Twilight read like a teenage written fanfic although during all my years of writing fanfiction, I've never once used the word 'dazzle' in any form.

O_O'''''' that's stupid. Well, like cutting a kiss when before you had actual sex in the tent.

Yes, that's pretty much it. Except that when I wrote fanfiction with Mary Sues (a looong time ago, thankfully), I was less ridiculous and I surely never used anything such as dazzle either. Or sparkle. I mean, sparkling vampires? Are they vampires or Christmas trees? ;)

Well the sex could easily be explained to a kid or a homophobe as 'fighting'. IMO, the kiss is one of the best parts. That and the whole 'I WISH I COULD QUIT YOU' and the fact that Ennis always calls Jack "Jack fucking Twist"

I've honestly never wrote a 'Mary Sue' fic. I can't stand writing females so to write one in any form (even if it's a representation of me) would just kill me inside. I'm all about the man on man action, mainly because I can't write women.

Best-quote-ever. The Mary Sue thing is actually one that I'm ashamed of, but I guess I had to get it out of the system. When I turned to men on men action it was everlasting love ;) now Lost has kinda made me write some het again but surely not the mary sue kind and I always write slash on first basis. ;) I prefer men too ;)

INDEED. God. I LOVE that movie. Seriously. Apart that the problem is that if you cut the kiss, you don't get half of what happens later and when Ennis' wife tells him he saw them kissing one would kind of wonder when it happened. And yeah, you have a point about the sex, even though at this point I'd like to know what happened to the other tent scene. The one where Ennis gets back in there and they kiss. Which could actually be my overall favorite.

Your icon made me go "guuuh..." for a moment. Ahem. Brokeback Mountain is a great film. The tent parts didn't interest me as much as the non-descriptive motel part. I wish they'd gone into more detail there. Ennis all snuggled in Jack's arms...I think Jack made him his bitch that night.

I really need to watch Lost now. I've never really thought that much about TV slashy pairings. Although, Sam and Dean in Supernatural are really, really, really homoerotic sometimes and I don't care that they are brothers. I need to slash them up sometime. Same goes with Nathan and Peter Petrelli (assume they are both still alive on the series, I lost interest after series 2 because it went downhill)

MMMMMM I'M WITH YOU. That part was a wasted opportunity. And I'm also sure that when I saw it at a screening they did here during the Venice festival (we get the movies one week after it ends lol) the I-wish-how-to-quit-you scene was longer. But I might be mistaken.

Well, Lost is a heaven for slash. There's a lot of it and they're all good looking men on there, I kinda see it everywhere. And I ship both Sam/Dean and Nathan/Peter, I can overlook the brothers angle as long as it's males on a tv show and that there isn't any breeding possibility (I can't do het incest *shiver*). Anyway, Nathan and Peter are both alive and the show is a wreck. I'm watching it only for them really.

Well I've only seen the full version (I have it on dvd) so I have no idea what a cut version looks like. I didn't think any country was that weird about homosexuality in films these days. It's like being in the dark ages.

Alegedly (my friend told me this), the actors that play Sam and Dean are so 'friendly' off set that the crew have to keep them apart to cease gay rumours. As for athan, I got so angry when series two started and he had a beard and no very expensive suit.

Oh, he's all polished now and VERY pretty. 85% of why I watch that really.

LOL, the actors playing Sam and Dean actually live together. They're so obviously in love that they aren't even funny, really. And from the amount of fanfiction that there is with those two I doubt people will stop slashing them anytime soon.

I meant that I had seen the full version at the festival and then I have this impression that on the official release three months later some scenes were shorter, but it was on the dvd too so that might have been the director or me hallucinating (guess the latter). ;) And I so have the dvd too, which I'll gladly re-watch one of these days.
