TIL THE WEDDING (Israeli Love Story)

[lucrece]

Matan4il, I don't mind a thread as an archive for released videos, but I do love the format of this thread, as it's very seminar-like. I like the exchange going on after every video is released .

[matan4il]

Darcolover55, thanks for re-posting my question. And yay you for taking on the updates! I'm so happy that you love the guys so much and are willing to do this.

Gaytime, thank you. Although I feel like I'm just uploading the clips, while all the credit for bringing this story to people belongs to Dracolover55 and you. And I'm so happy that you enjoy it too!

That's pretty cool, I wouldn't have guessed that Hebrew could be copy pasted like that into a text that runs in the opposite direction (I love the language but that whole writing right-to-left thing can cause a bit of a headache).

If I knew... I'll try to find out, but I can't promise anything.

Lucrece, thank you for your input. I would want this thread to keep the general discussion going on as well (I love reading what you guys think and how you feel about the storyline), I'm just wondering in which format exactly... So just to make sure I got you, you'd like everything else to stay here, or would you like a separate news and press thread as well?

Matan4il, I kind of like everything in one thread (as long as there's not TOO much going on). Can we wait and see for a bit? I'm sure whatever you and/or our administrators decide will be fine!

When I went into the "Other shows"-thread this morning, I turned and in a frantic panic, I went: "Where's 'Till the Wedding'?!? Where is it?' And then I found it here ;D I'm so addicted to this story it's scary

[Sonnenschein]

growing up so fast weve been moved to the main site yaaayyyyy ;D
they both deserve it, that more people stumble upon them...

karina - I also had a bit of a anxiety attack

to answer your question matan4il:
for now i also think that this thread is sufficient enough. So maybe later on when there are 50 new posts daily we should divide this thread into parts. But for the moment i like the familiarity here

News and Press can go on a different thread, if someone can afford the time to create it.

However, the general discussion on the show could stay here.

I like the format of post video>people watch> discuss right away. Feels very communal.

I agree as well...at least for now and see how things progress...This is so exciting!

[iclickmyheels]

i concur. for now, one thread is totally manageable. I think having a thread for other news & press though is a good idea, especially because, being an american can't even begin to discern hebrew, a google search of this show is pretty much impossible.
If you ever find spoilers and stuff, then a seperate thread for that would be a good idea.

Also, Matan4il: a quick question - i watched the clip of the interview with the guy who plays Harel...and there was a quick scene showing Harel and his parents in their kitchen - and Harel's dad said something about penguins getting married. This totally piqued my interest in Harel before Amir came along. Has he been on the show for a long time? I'm assuming there's some back story to him, with his coming out and all ...are these clips available (untranslated or otherwise) anywhere?

[matan4il]

Everyone, thank you so much for your input! Okay, so that's exactly how we'll go about it. Darcolover55 will keep posting here (if it's still okay with you, hon) and if I find anything interesting, I'll post in a new thread for News and Press.

(I was thinking of a New Vids thread for those new people who don't feel like going through old conversations, but I guess 9 pages isn't that intimidating, right?)

Iclickmyheels, if I'm not mistaken Harel was on the show before Amir showed up, but not for a long while. The scene you see a bit of in the interview is the only reference I can remember to his coming out. I can edit it and upload it to the Additional Clips thread.

YAYYY. that would be so awesome.
thank you thank you thank you!

you're wonderful!

[matan4il]

You have nothing to thank me for! I'm glad I can do this for you and that you're enjoying the show.

Incidentally, does anyone know why whenever I try to upload the 4th clip on Veoh it keeps getting stuck half way through? Any idea on what I can do for it to finally complete the download?

[aussie54]

Great to see you here, Momnoc and great to see the show has a special place on the main board. (It's wonderful to see that lovely picture of Amir and Harel. )

I'm happy with whatever is easiest for you to cope with Matan4il . Is the show an on-going one? Will the boys feature heavily in future episodes? If they do, it might be good to have a separate thread for the video clips, and one for discussion. We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

I love watching these two actors together. To me, Amir and Harel (Amirel?) are a grittier, more raw version of Ollian. I hope their storyline continues for a long time.

[matan4il]

Please excuse me for not reading and replying, it's 4 in the morning and I NEED to sleep, I just wanted to let you guys know I've finally cracked Veoh after many attempts, so 3 more clips are up there.

G'night!

[flippa]

Oh bloomin' heck!! I blame Aussie54 for mentioning this over on the Ollian thread, because now I'm addicted to another story!! ;P

Thanks so much Matan4il for posting the clips- can't wait to see what happens next (we better have seen the last of bloke from the net or I'll be having stiff words with Amir...!)

[aussie54]

Glad to see you here, Flippa!

Mmmm, Amir and Harel are very addictive. I don't know how many times I've watched their clips.

[matan4il]

Flippa, you're very welcome! And I'm really happy you're joining us. Hey, the more we find and spread the word about good gay storylines, the more the chances are that the powers that be take notice and stop being so scared about including gay storylines on different shows, right?

Aussie54, you're just awesome. *mwah*

I find it's best not to count......takes up too much time that could be spent watching........again.....

Matan4il Thank you for all the new clips!!!!! You rock, even when you are sick! I hope you are back to normal now and "sick" is just a distant memory!

*lol* Guilty too...
(I do use the excuse that I need to do so to better synch the subs... )

Awwww, thank you! Reading your words makes me feel so much better. No, I'm still sick but I hope I'm getting better, because at least I'm not in pain like I was over the (Israeli) weekend. *crosses fingers* At any rate, I'm gonna work on part 11 now, healthy or not...

[flippa]

oooh does that mean there's a new bit soon?? I can't cope with this once-a -week malarky!!!

Matan4il- yup, I guess the more people watch these shows and enjoy it, the more the powers that be will realise that people are more accepting of the world in all it's many wonderful ways/elements/colours and incarnations than they currently imagine.

For me personally I think this site is amazing for the way that we get to see these relationships portrayed all across the globe from country to country- and despite the cultural influences the one outstanding factor is... it's just about love. At the end of the day, that's it. What works, what doesn't, how we discover it and how we cope with it in our lives (in Amir's case, not too well at the moment, what with first being closeted and then cruising on the net whilst in a relationship that- we assume- his partner thinks is monogamous- but I have faith that Harel will kick him into touch...)

Can't wait for part 11- and Aussie54, I"ve not started re-watching.... yet!!! It's bad enough that I'm obsessed with one soap in a language that I barely know, never mind starting with this soap in a language that I know about 2 words in!!!

[Sonnenschein]

working on part 11? Does that mean there will be a new chapter soon?

But don't go overboard - concentrate on getting better!!! We are patient (for the most part ;D )

Very well spoken flippa! I couldn't agree more! I would never have found an Isreali love story (gay or straight for that matter) or Spanish one or or or

So thank you matan4il for bringing Harel and Amir to us

[matan4il]

Flippa, I'm getting there. I'm a bit slower that usual, I think, because I'm still sick and I think it's one of the longest colds I've ever had... What bad timing, right? But I am trying my best!

*nodnodnods* The more I takl to people younger than me, the more I see the overall change in attitude. When I was a kid and gay people were still something that needed to be explained, I would have never thouhgt I'd see the day that Israeli youngsters - both boys and girls - would explain to me what's so cool about watching Queer as Folk and why they can't wait for it to come on...

Sonnenschein, Soon, I hope. I promise, I'm trying to balance out my health and the clips. Thank you for thinking about it and for your patience!

And you're more than welcome.

[flippa]

Matan4il- well, take care of your health first, obviously!!! I hate colds, they just linger and linger don't then? And then in the UK, you end up getting another one immediately...

and LOL- I doubt that I'm younger than you, but I totally agree- a perfect reply to people who say that visability in the media isn't important- the more that everyday shows such as soaps "normalise" the big scary gay world for people the more they realise that, urm, it's not big and scary at all! I love that QAF is big in Israeli- who would have thought it??

take care and take lots of echinachea and eat lots of kiwi fruit!!!

Flips x

[matan4il]

Thank you, Flippa! I am doing my best to take care of my health. In all honesty, if it weren't for the fact that I've just started this new job, I would have taken a few sick days and then this would have all been over much sooner... Oh, well.

What amuses me whenever I think about the UK's weather is how Sir Richard Burton claimed it's simply too cold for anyone to develop a case of homosexuality there. It's obviously a disease reserved for warm climate countries... such as Israel.

Well, we can check that out, but if it turns out I am younger, that just shows how rapid the change that's taking place is! A wonderful thought...

And it was HUGE here in Israel! My kid sister and her friends would ROAR with joy when they saw the opening sequence (seriously, they terrified me to death when I first heard them, I was on army leave, so was obviously sleeping and they woke me up).

Thank you so much and I definitely will! *mwah*
