Would you also beat up your favorite player for this?

So clearly I couldn't escape the issue of homophobia even if I remotely tried to. *g* We took the metro the other day and suddenly a poster caught Fan''s eyes : boy kissing (obviously)! On a poster! In the U-bahn (metro)! Of course I had to take a picture and report.

It's a poster edited by Maneo which apparently is Berlin's gay emergency hotline. And I really like it. Love the picture, the guys look so cute and happy. Heeee!

Finally, I'd like to make a public announcement : George Clooney does, actually, star in The Red Thin Line. Contrarily to what it looks like when you watch the first two hours and forty minutes of the movie, the DVD jacket is NOT lying about him being in the movie. However, the word "overstatement" perfectly fits to qualify the fact George's mentioned FIRST on the DVD as a "contributing his talent to this epic".

So yes, we spent the whole movie (since George wouldn't show up till the end) expecting him to appear, and after the first hour had come and gone, we were also almost expecting him to arrive with his trademark "what else?". Certainly made for a few good laughs, which made up for the lack of George's presence.

One of the best moment of the movie was towards the end, when we were getting a bit tired of the emo voice-overs that were slowly taking over all the characters, and Fan' sighed, "The island made them emo..." At which point Peewai rolled his eyes and corrected, "It's not. The war made them emo."

Heee. Have I mentioned spending vacation with Peewai and Fan' is quite a riot at times? You should hear Peewai tell the story of Book's life and the undying love he has for Mal, the woman of his life who turned out to be a male rebel for whom he changed his ways.

"I have two fathers, two real fathers, who, if they have to, both can be my mother."

First seen on yodah's journal...

A song : "I have two fathers". The line I used as the subject of my entry is - very true, and very touching when it's the kid singing it. Worst part is, the melody is sort of catchy. And I find it hilarious when all the kids start singing the chorus. That said, it's - pretty amazing, that this is possible, and of course it'd be in the Netherlands. *tackles Netherlands* Plus, the kid's cute, which never hurts.


Unrelated, except not totally - they're having some kind of election here in Berlin so electoral posters have been springing up everywhere for all the parties, including, of course, the Green Party. Most posters present candidates with the logo of the Party they're running for, but the Green Party has a poster that doesn't feature a candidate, just that slogan :

"Before you see red, vote green."

*tacklessnogs the Green Party*
