Ah, sure. https://www.lasestrellas.tv/telenovelas/votacion-telenovelas
Apparently we’re voting for the third option, people.
Kinda nice that they can run this kind of poll, like it’s something they want to show off. I hope everyone takes it in the good fun it’s intended.
Okay, I literally laughed out loud at reading this. There are only so many hours in the day, anon! But, you’re right, I might be interested.
I guess this is where we can watch with English subtitles? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra_pkFw5HxM&list=PLtEfzv5h3rtvNXyPD3RSSD2z1zrnn_-bX
Currently, I’m near the beginning of the Chloe/Elly storyline on Neighbours but I will check this out next. Thanks for the heads up!
Yep, I watch here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZlgNEQJwHcpfxV-v2cskODkCuarU9qfo
There is also this adware-laden site that has subs for the whole eps, but they’re not great: https://wlext.net/series/amar-a-muerte?server=streamangocom&episode=001
Edit: Also, I keep forgetting to address this, but other anon, I did get two of your messages, but not the one with the actual link? It’s fine, though, I have so many early scenes to gif, and the subbers are doing so well on Youtube, I’ll find out soon enough. Thanks anyway, though!
I have heard of them but not the details and haven’t looked up any clips. I was actually considering watching, since I am now apparently a soap gay kinda person but after the success off y’alls’ last recommendation, I was like, if somebody comes to me and tells me about it, I will watch, otherwise I won’t.
Guess I gotta hunt this up now!
Aw, thanks, anon!
Nope, I hadn’t heard of it. It is pretty short, huh, 2 minutes! But, you got me, I’m a sucker for f/f. Here it is:
And here is the funding campaign for the sequel in clickable form: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/control-2-a-short-film/x/4999163#/
I’ll donate, sure, they’re not asking for much. Thanks for the link!
That’s probably one of their safer measures, to be fair, lol.
And thank you! I did find that one like three-quarters of my way through so I had to start again because the subs are so much better.
Here it is for anybody else who’s interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wbv-VTutdw&list=PLZlgNEQJwHcpfxV-v2cskODkCuarU9qfo&index=1
Some of the clips might be blocked but if you play around with any unblocker or VPN, they’re all available. As of now, until 27 is subbed.
The story, just so you know, is about a rich guy being killed, his…spirit entering the body of an assassin who was just executed, and that assassin’s spirit going into the body of some professor dude. Yah. The first time I was watching and trying to make sense of who’s who and what’s what, it was confusing, but then people started having visions and I was like wtf is going on?
Juliana is the daughter of the assassin, Valentina is the daughter of the rich man, so they’re both well integrated into the actual plot. And it is a slow burn, my fave kind.
I had to look through my replies but somebody did mention this before and I’m interested, and I didn’t know where to watch in English before, but I just did a quick search again, and here’s a place:

There aren’t that many clips, when I get some time, I’ll go through them. Thanks again for the rec!
Okay, I’m going to confess something and I don’t want you guys to think too badly of me for it: I can’t really tell when an actor is bad.
I mean, major overacting I can usually go hmmm at but really, I just take everything as a choice. Like, oh, I guess they’re just playing a person who’s really flat or really histrionic. After all, people can be like that in real life. And at times I’ve thought, huh, that person’s delivery is really monotone and weird and then everyone’s like, oh, they’re great.
In Sonam’s case, I haven’t really paid much attention to her current career, but she’s always seemed at least serviceable to me? I was still living in Pakistan when Saawariya came out and since much of Pakistani cable is Indian channels, we saw the promo for it and then the movie itself. (And that’s another reason this is going to be so interesting–a whole section of Pakistan is going to be exposed to this movie too, by virtue of the fact that however much else they disagree on, they share so much of their pop culture. Put together, India and Pakistan’s population exceeds 1.5 billion.)
Saawariya was her first role, I think, and to me she was fine. Maybe that’s not very confidence-boosting, given the above, but you should already have some idea of what I like and don’t like from what I post. I think it might depend a lot on the role, and perhaps the director. She’s got a great face and expressive eyes. If I absolutely had to point out a flaw, maybe her dialogue can come across as unconvincing under certain extreme circumstances? But the melodramatic heights Bollywood movies reach aren’t where most of the movie will take place. And again, some people are just like that!
I’ve seen a couple of other things with her, some of Neerja and Khoobsurat, and I really don’t think she’ll be the weak link here. It’ll come down to the writing either way.
Oh, right, I saw that and totally forgot not even two seconds later. And yeah, it really doesn’t seem like it can be between her and the guy, who her father actually loves. So no conflict or secret there.
I know! Out of freaking nowhere, suddenly a movie with these two and that’s the main plot. It’s amazing.
I really do like how they’re treating Anil’s character, because it would have been so easy to make him colder and more of a typical desi movie father whose approval is only won at the very end, but you just don’t want that in this kind of movie. I really appreciate the much lighter tone where, yes, she’s closeted out of fear of rejection but there’s not really the overlay of fear for her literal life.
And! That she gets to tell him that he disappointed her too. I really like this new trend in coming out stories, like in Supergirl or Will & Grace, where it’s no longer only about the person coming out acting like they’re finally letting go of this shameful secret but shifting some of the weight onto the shoulders of the family and friends that made it so difficult in the first place. I think the whole story here is being framed in such a smart way. That it’s going to be the homophobia that breaks up a nice family, not her being gay. And that if you’re a cool, loving parent, you’ll accept your kid.
I was wondering at claims this was the First and went over to look up Fire’s status, whether it was considered an indie or what, and man, it was released in 1996, right, and if you go to the Controversies and reaction section on its wiki, there’s just paragraphs of its treatment by the censors and the theaters that were repeatedly violently attacked for showing it. Two decades later, here we are.
