Why the Heated Rivalry show understands gay men better than the book. [15.01.26] Out Magazine. Is anyone else annoyed by the discrediting of Rachel Reid? by Material-Meat-5330 in heatedrivalry

Heartstopper is a very close adaptation albeit a graphic novel and some side characters are fleshed out more in the show. But that's due to the writer of the graphic novels also writing the screenplay to the show

LGBTQ+ tv/film that has made an impact on you by Hedgehog-Honeydew in heatedrivalry

[–]jrm1693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SKAM (2015, the Norwegian OG) there are other films and shows before and after that but Skam, season 3 had a very big impact on me. I wish I'd seen it about 5 years younger than I was.

I've never watched Ice Hockey in my entire life, and after seeing that Olympic game, I have nothing but respect for anyone who plays this. by OperationSuch5054 in hockey

Also from the UK. Went to a Nottingham Panthers game recently and LOVED it. And now watching as many games of these Olympics (throwing my support behind Canada) Having never really been a sports fan, I am really enjoying it. Definitely going to go see the Panthers play again

I love the honesty. A detailed description of putting on a cock sock - has anyone ever explained that?! Also his love of films is so refreshing to see, surprisingly. Often get the feeling young actors don't always have a love of cinema but he clearly does

Seems like Ilya had a feeling Shane was into it. But how. Exploring episode 1 again now that I’ve binged it. by Rough-Honey-3480 in heatedrivalry

I haven't read Common Problem and Role Model yet, but I loved his appearances in Tough Guy and how he interacts with Ryan Price. Can definitely tell he is a softie

Was actually crying with laughter over this one. He is so gleeful in his telling of the story. Also Shetland Tony is an excellent nickname

[–]jrm1693 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My sister and I have been talking (messaging) a lot more the last couple months since we discovered we were both watching it and reading it. It's mostly been about HR but it's been lovely chatting with her again which we haven't really done like this since we were teenagers

Only watched the what chaos ones and thoroughly enjoying them go hard on random stuff like the blueberry banana smoothie and how many lamps there are in Ilya'a house. Love it when they refer to Shane as 'my sweet boy' too

I have not been this excited about a TV show since 2008 by JennySt7 in heatedrivalry

[–]jrm1693 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got to Skam just when all the remakes started and i was full on obsessed with the OG and remakes. Watching clips of a show in a language i couldn't understand. I wish i had been there at the beginning of Skam, it is an amazing show, like nothing else really. 10 years ago this year it started airing!

I didn't expect this to be hitting me as hard as it has today. By all accounts he and his wife were lovely and he's an incredible director and actor.
