hiiii <3

i thought i'd make a little entry so we can talk about if we want to do something more together or if after the finale all will be over lol.

ik jalo has been talking about streaming a movie for us that would be a lot of fun i think!

and whenever someone feels like watching a game we could do that together too. personally i'm not very interested in club football in general (my home town club is horrible and i just can't seem to bond with another one) but i'm always up to just watching a good game. c:

and there's the olympics, and women's football ofc

also i wonder if anyone is interested in friending each other somewhere? i know we're all anons usually but

well i'll go ahead i'm sharply_unclear on lj and unfertig on tumblr!

i can stream any of these vaguely sporty films tonight @ 11:

a cause d'un garcon (swimmer gets outed to the whole school by the mysterious&sophisticated new kid) french

bend it like beckham (flawless, no description necessary) english w/ some punjabi&hindi

eleven men out (i've never actually watched this one but it's something about a gay football team) icelandic but dubbed in spanish or smth idek what's going on here tbh

fit (a bunch of teenagers are on their last warning at school and have to join the new dance&drama group or else get kicked out of school) hilariously bad bc it was made to be shown in schools to teach kids homo/transphobia is not ok. i love it anyway. english

formula 17 (a student goes to stay with his friend in taipei after a terrible internet meet-up and said friend is horrified to discover he is still a virgin) this isn't sports really but there's some swimming at the beginning and the main character works at a gym so it totally counts, shut up. + cece is flawless in this <3333 taiwanese

i love you baby (BASED ON A TRUE STORY! KIND OF! a man gets a head injury during a karaoke night and wakes up straight. so his boyfriend dresses in drag and pretends to be a woman in an attempt to save their relationship. it doesn't really work) spanish (singing karaoke counts as a sport imo)

juste une question d'amour (a student of horticulture (gardening counts as a sport ok!) goes on a work experience placement and falls for his boss) french

kick off (gay football team plays straight team, str8 team doesn't know they're gay so they pretend to be str8) THIS IS A "SO BAD IT'S GOOD" FILM except it's really really bad. english

maenner wie wir (gay goalie gets kicked off his local team, starts his own gay team to get VENGEANCE!!!) german

mannen som elsket yngve (set just after the fall of the wall, ginger loser jarle is attempting to be an anarchist bc THE WORLD SUCKS!!!! but then he falls in love with the weird tennis-playing new kid who does his homework and listens to preppy music and helps his mom around the house. whoops.) norwegian
& the sequel jeg reiser alene (jarle ends up with a daughter from that drunken&misguided one night stand he had the night he fucked things up with yngve. whoops again.) norwegian

newcastle (australian surfing film which i haven't actually seen but apparently it's quite sweet?) english

i think i have english subs for all of them btw!

ALSO I AM ADDING YOU ALL even tho most of us are anon accounts lol w/e w/e i'm easy

i'd love to watch one of those movies! preferring bend it like beckham or männer wie wir rn but i'm open to everything ~

also i have another rec: invictus. it's about rugby in south africa and i remember rly liking it when i watched it for the first time a couple of years ago

and there's always "das wunder von bern" about germany's first world cup victory. i'm sure there are english subtitles floating around

and haha i think i'm the only one with a non-empty journal oh well :( friending you back! do you have an lj?

oh yeah invictus omg how did i forget that :o

and lol i can't believe you lot made a film about winning the wc. lol irl. we HAVE to watch that at some point lmao. and OMG sixty six is another film - it's a british jewish boy whose bar mitzvah falls on the day of the world cup final so nobody comes lol. it's got helena bonham carter in it iirc!

omg i've just thought of another terrible one - the one with pele in where they're escaping a prisoner of war camp

also that iranian(?) one where the girl sneaks into the stadium to watch despite women being banned and she gets caught.

SO MANY FILMS. I CAN'T WAIT :3333

also no i don't have an lj :c lurker 4eva tbh.
i can make one tho igss???

we can have so many movie nights <33333
lol germany just REALLY loves football A LOT.
and haha, I'm usually a lurker as well, I just comment a lot during eurovision and, well, in our posts now igss

I'm posting this as a new comment since it became about more than just tonight:
omgggg I'd love to watch bend it like beckham!!!
I don't think I've seen any of the other films, tho some sound interesting c:
unfortunately I won't be here tonight and quite possibly tomorrow as well (I'll be there at night, but idk when, I'm having dinner w/ my friends and we don't know where or when)
ah, and if we're planning stuff for the future: I'm usually busy raiding in wow on wednesday and thursday from 8-10 (and, when there's new raiding content, on sunday and monday at the same time as well), and since I'm the raidleader I'm kind off expected to show up (except when there's football, bc no one else shows up either lql), but, well, it's only wow, I can make room haha (especially now during the last content patch before the next expansion, when most people are sick of doing the same stuff for another few months anyway haha)
weekends always depend on who has time and who doesn't, but I'm usually there, same goes for the other weekday evenings
that isn't to dictate when you can/cannot do stuff together lql, but maybe we can find a day and time when we're usually not busy and make a weekly/biweekly/monthly movie night or something c:

don't worry, we can save bend it like beckham for a time when we're all together bc it's the best sports film ever made <33333333

and lol we don't mind working around your social life! i'm sure we can work something out that works for everyone :3

i freaking love bend it like beckham so much EXCEPT the girls totally should have been a couple by the end >:[ (that's how the director set it up. homophobic producers intervened.)

oh hey maybe there's fanfic out there i'll need to investigate

lol i'm so mad about that changed ending. SO MAD.

i'm glad that at least the male friend stayed gay tho, bc indian films tend to be awful about showing any gay characters at all (i mean, have you ever seen girlfriend? if not, then DON'T, save yourself :||||||)

ikr m2 :( i'm gay and i would have LOVED a mainstream movie with 2 lesbian main characters esp one about football OH WELL in my heart i just know they got together during their year in america and married and had bbs and are extremely successful football players now ;~;

and i haven't lol :c i'll avoid it now :c

omg yes I remember that >:(
the movie would have been sooo much better if they had kept it as intended, but I still love it
I haven't found any fanfic yet, tho, but maybe you'll be more successful

maybe i'll just write some myself haha

lol yesss you should (i looked but i couldn't find anything either :c)

anyway, if you're still on männer wie wir's starting in a bit

http://www.livestream.com/jalovice

i'll be there bb! i need a nice movie before going to sleep c:

we're just about to start!

2 more mins, go get a glass of water or have a pee or something :3 haha
