But not always.

Rating communities are something I never really understood.

But when this one advirtised themselves on a (non-rating) comm I'm in, without explanation on what kind of community they are, I checked the user info page, and...

You don't have to be 'emo' to get in. We don't judge you based on looks, music taste or anything like that. We judge you based on whether or not you're funny and have a good personality.

Not on spelling, obviously.

Also, the rest of the user info's ranting bitchy tone makes me quite skeptical at what they call "having a good personality". I suspect it actually means "kiss up to us, make us look good by not being smarter or wittier or prettier than us, and don't you DARE pointing out that we're a bunch of egotistical spelling-impaired teenager kthx".

No, really.

Tadzio

Forgot...
For once I regret that I don't have Pink TV (the only cable gay channel in France).
They're having a thematic night on Björn Andresen, best known for having played the young Tadzio in "Death in Venice", to celebrate his 50th birthday.

Okay, the movie's long, and kinda boring, and a lil' bit on a pedophile's dream, but there was indeed something in Tadzio's look in a couple of scenes.
It would have been interesting to see the two documentaries aside (especially the second one, as I expect that Visconti's one, OTOH, would be... Whatever. An old artist falling head over heels for a 15 yrs old boy's beauty, tell me why I'm showing fangs and snarling, really...).

I found out about it while seeing an article on Björn on the last page of Libération that a woman was reading today in the RER, so I bought the newspaper in question to read the article.
It's... interesting. Totally depressing to see how the movie absorbed most of his life, too.
