SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen tonight’s (Feb. 15th) Revenge do not click the article link unless you want some very juicy happenings spoiled. Spoilers in this post are beiged.] The "Revenge" Cast Talks Tonight's Shocking Death Posted by Jim Halterman, Entertainment Reporter on February 15, 2012 AfterElton.com Moving forward, his occasional playmate Tyler may be gone, but expect Nolan to find some action in the bedroom sooner rather than later. “I’ve been told it is an utter no-brainer that he will absolutely get laid and probably any number of times,” Mann, grinning ear to ear, said of Nolan. “As to who the partners are, where they emerge from and how they wind their way into his life, I wait eagerly as I get each new episode to find out. I think we may tease it into a potential second season, if we’re so fortunate, but absolutely there’s going to be love and lots of trouble.”
When asked which gender Nolan will more than likely tussle in the sack with, Mann smiled and said, “I’ve got my fingers crossed that it’s both and preferably all at the same time. Maybe there’s a very complicated, sexually active love triangle. Threesomes? Nolan’s down for whatever.” That said, Mann is curious to see what would happen if something beyond just the physical would develop for Nolan. “I’d love to see what he did with a real romantic love and how that would affect him. To really have his affection reciprocated in a way that even the people that he’s ‘close to’ don’t really give it back to him.”
www.afterelton.com/tv/2012/02/revenge-cast-talks-tonights-shocking-death?page=0%2C1I personally hope that the writers avoid the "being bisexual means you sleep with both genders at the same time" idea especially as Nolan is a sadly still oh so rare male bisexual character on tv. Definately like the love-triangle idea though. Just how would Nolan react to having two people wanting to be in relationship with him rather than being wanted for his influence or money? (although this being Revenge other motives are probably almost be a given). Oh well even if not, Nolan's storyline will continue to be engrossing. I'm definately down for some more soapy goodness ;D Definately going to miss Tyler though

Young Gay Couple Marries in Beautiful New Clip from Italy: VIDEO
Remember Australia's "It's Time" marriage equality video? Well, think of this as Italy's version. A first-of-its-kind video raises the issue of marriage equality in Italy just in time for Valentine's Day. It's called "I'll Marry You" and it's named for a well-known song by Lorenzo 'Jovanotti' Cherubini, who offered the use of it to LGBT rights group Arcigay for this clip, which draws attention to the need for marriage equality in that country. The video took four months to make, according to Italian paper La Republicca and tells the story of a young gay couple who gets married and another lesbian couple who gets engaged at their wedding. The video is sponsored by Arcigay and AGEDO (the Italian version of PFLAG, as well as Bologna Pride).

Duskysoda, unfortunately matan4il often suffers from chronic health concerns and "disappears" for long periods (aka multiple months) of time. In addition to those issues, Matan's last YouTube message back in September also said, Hopefully matan will be back to grace us with more videos very soon. You are defiantely not the only one who would love to see more!! *I find myself getting excited whenever I see a new post notice on this thread wondering that there might be a new video. * But I have to say, I'm very grateful for whatever and whenever matan is able to bring us Btw, idk if this will be of interest to you/will help tide you over but I posted a bit more info I found about the sequel to "Yossi & Jagger" that Offer Schechter is going to be in: gaydaytime.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=bigscreenhomo&thread=129&post=284728

For anyone who has seen the movie "Yossi & Jagger", matan4il had mentioned awhile back that there would be a sequel coming out and I have a bit more information about it here (cross-posted from the Til the Wedding news thread): The title is now showing up as "Ha-Sippur Shel Yossi" (Yossi's Story) and is in post-production according to imdb.com with a 2012 release date. As of last month according to The Jerusalam Post, I also found the following article about the filming of the new movie: Back to Yossi
A visit to the set of Eytan Fox's sequel to his 2002 hit 'Yossi and Jagger,' where the cast and crew are like family, and the film finds its star older, wiser and more open about his sexuality. By Nirit Anderman Published 01:24 21.04.11
"Ohad is walking too fast. Again. Concentrate, Ohad, tense your body," director Eytan Fox calls from his chair in front of the monitor. He waves his hand. "Action."
Actor Ohad Knoller, dressed like a doctor, with a stethoscope around his neck, has a worried look on his face - as called for in the scene. He begins walking alongside the nurses' station. Cinematographer Guy Raz holds the camera on his shoulder and walks in front of the actor, struggling to keep up. Cut. "You walked too fast again," Fox tells Knoller, "and you also lost some of the inner movement. Again. Relax your forehead a little, Ohad. Action!"
The new and luxurious heart center at Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital is still deserted. Workers complete the finishing touches, cleaning crews calmly polish the corridors; only on the third floor is the activity at its height, where the crew of the tentatively titled "Yossi's Story" films take after take, scene after scene. Knoller leaves one of the rooms and enters the hallway, along with actress Orly Zilbershatz.
"Thank you doctor," she says to him, putting on her coat while walking. "You're welcome," he replies. He still looks worried. "See you next year," she says, as she walks away.
Actor Lior Ashkenazi, also dressed as a doctor, looks at the two in surprise. "Is that her? What's the matter with you?" he asks Knoller in a whisper. "Listen, you owe me for that catheterization with Cohen - he's so phlegmatic it takes him two hours to find the artery," Ashkenazi says, but Knoller suddenly rushes after the woman.
Ten years after collaborating on "Yossi and Jagger," Knoller and Fox once again find themselves on opposite sides of the camera, creating a sequel to that successful film. Yossi, the tough company commander who had an intense affair with a male officer serving under him in a snowy outpost in South Lebanon, is now an admired and dedicated doctor. He devotes all his energy to his work, to avoid confronting his loneliness and the demons from his past.
He still hasn't gotten over the death of his lover (played by Yehuda Levi ) at the end of the previous film, and when Jagger's mother (Zilbershatz ) shows up at the hospital, his world is shaken.
Occupying questions
"Yossi and Jagger," screened in 2002, received the Ophir Prize for best drama and best actor (Levi ). The film was distributed in 15 countries, with Knoller named best actor at the Tribeca Film Festival. Last Thursday, Fox said he and producer Amir Harel came up with the idea to make a sequel a few months ago.
"We wanted to work together again... We felt like making another film, something small and immediate," says Fox. "Of course it means working with smaller budgets, without public funding, with a small crew. But I've already worked with all the actors in this film in the past, and they're like family."
In cinematic terms, this is really a lightning production. Fox started to formulate the idea only about six months ago, recruited Itay Segal (the TV critic for Yedioth Ahronoth ) to write the script, and cast Knoller and Zilbershatz (who worked with Fox in "Song of the Siren" ) in the main roles. Other major roles went to Ashkenazi (who starred in "Walking on Water" ) and Oz Zehavi, who plays Yossi's new lover.
Harel is producing the film along with Moshe Edri and United King Films, on a $500,000 budget and support from the Yes cable company and the Reshet TV franchise. But the desire to create a small, quick film was not Fox's only motive.
"I suddenly understood that the issues that came up in 'Yossi and Jagger' are very important to me, that I wanted to address them again," Fox says. "Although in the film Yossi is 35, not 45 like me, the questions that preoccupy him are my questions as well: on maturing, finding meaning in life, and how to create that meaning. It's important to share such issues, like how important it is to accept yourself - and I don't necessarily mean in terms of sexuality. In this film, Yossi is still examining how completely he accepts himself as a gay man... but more than that, he's dealing with trauma. He lost Jagger and is stuck in that place.
'Here come the tears'
In a short break in filming, Knoller, whose career has flourished thanks to "Yossi and Jagger," claims there is no real connection between the character he played in the first film and the one he plays in "Yossi's Story."
"On the one hand, the Yossi in this film is more out of the closet. But he's also far less sure of himself," he says. "In the first film, he conveyed far more confidence, he was a kind of leader because of his job as an IDF commander, and here he's one of a team of doctors - and not the senior one. In the first film he still didn't know whether he was really gay ... but in this film it's clear that he is, and that's how he lives his life. The big question is what kind of life it's going to be."
Zilbershatz, who didn't appear in the previous film, is happy and amused on set, but when discussing her character, she becomes melancholy.
"When you lose a child, and suddenly you discover that there are all kinds of things that you didn't know about him, that you didn't have time to get to know, that intensifies the sense of loss," she says. "The thought that your child was all alone when he experienced something as difficult as coming out of the closet - and 10 years ago, when the world was even less tolerant - is tough."
Segal, the screenwriter, who is sitting next to her, looks at her and says, "Here come the tears. She starts crying as soon as she talks about it."
Knoller admits that he's scared by the fact that this is a a sequel to a successful film. "The first film was excellent, and so to go and make another film now means telling a story you don't really have to tell. So on the surface, why get into that? It's scary."
Fox also says many people warned him against creating a sequel. "But when I traveled all over the world with the actors, when we screened it abroad, people always asked what would happen to Yossi. People said that he ends the film in a bad place."
"In this film, Yossi is supposed to emerge from where he got stuck. At the same time, I feel it's an independent film that stands on its own, and follows a character who now lives in a different Israel," Fox explains. "'Yossi and Jagger' addressed the withdrawal from Lebanon, confronting the trauma of the first Lebanon war, and now I'd like to examine the situation 10 years on. Has Israel changed? Is it a more liberal, progressive, advanced place? And if so, why is Yossi unable to change?
"There's a dissonance here between a society that has changed and the character of Yossi, who is stuck in 2000, when Israeli society was more macho, less accepting. In the sequel, Oz Zehavi represents the new Israeli gay man, who can be both gay and an IDF officer, and doesn't feel that these two things are conflicting. On the contrary: He's proud of who he is." www.haaretz.com/culture/arts-leisure/back-to-yossi-1.357133www.jpost.com/ArtsAndCulture/Entertainment/Article.aspx?id=253362

from Morning Meme: Ann Coulter Visits "The A List: Dallas," Gavin Creel Makes Some "NOISE," .... by Ed Kennedy December 8, 2011 AfterElton.com www.afterelton.com/meme-12-08-2011?page=1,2 Yesterday I mentioned that Gavin Creel had written an equality anthem called "NOISE," with the proceeds going to Broadway Impact. The video is now out, and it's pretty epic, spliced with news footage of the movement. It's quite up to date as well, with Jonah Mowry making an appearance.

Aussie54, always a pleasure! Glad I can share them with you. But oh man, I ate too much chocolate cake at the Seder last night, I feel like I need to go to rehab or something. Can you have a hangover from too much chocolate cake? so I wanna start working on the next clip, but I can't yet... * NEEDS WANTS MORE CHOCOLATE CAKE* *sighs* *headdesk* Okay, this is gonna sound so stupid, but I was sure you've all given up on me, so I didn't think anyone would see my post or would have replied to it. I am so dumb sometimes. So sorry about that! Forgive me? *insert flower holding emoticon here* You're meshuga And I say that b'ahavah Aww matan, you are such a neshomeleh, thank you!! Me? High expectations, never! Only one of my favorite movies ever. Btw, if you ever want to share that manifesto with me I'd love to read it Thank you for the answers. Shesh, you're making Israel sound like a small town which I know it isn't. Ok, you are seriously trying to overload me/us with good news you know that? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! (Now I feel like I've overdosed on chocolate cake) done Lol, I'm glad I can slay you. My small vocabulary is bound to run out long before your clips do but I'm happy it makes you smile *big hearts huggles back*

Some "Yossi & Jagger" and "Til the Wedding" news from Matan4il !!! : As for Yossi & Jagger, Ohad Knoller and Eytan Fox from the original movie are both attached to this project right now. Avner Bernheimer, who wrote the script, won't be back, though. I'm not familiar with the work of the guy who is writing the script, but I trust that if Ohad and Eytan are both back and on board, there's a good reason why. Then again, I also know it's always a bad idea to approach a movie with such high expectations. As for a title, right now they only have a tentative one - Yossi's Story. I figure it's likely that it won't be the title by the time the movie comes out, but I'll keep you updated. I'm also really happy to tell you that I've recently found out (after some digging I did for you guys) that a third season of 'Til the Wedding has been ordered! ;D I have no idea when it will air, but whenever that is, you can be sure that I will upload it. I'm guessing it will be a while, though, since I know that right now they can't be shooting it. How do I know this? Because Ohad Knoller is filming another show right now which is filming in Jerusalem, not too far from where I used to live. *g*
