    Problem with video

    I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but the video skipped two minutes ahead about 21 seconds in. I missed most of the beginning commentary.  If someone could look into it and get back to me, I would greatly appreciate it.  I don't want to miss out on anything you all say.  I was viewing it through Firefox if that helps.  Thanks.

    I see the problem you're describing - it's happening to me, too, in IE and Firefox - and I've asked my video techies to try and fix this ASAP Friday morning. Sorry about that! Check back tomorrow morning and hopefully it will be working by then.

    I can wait

    I should be sleeping now anyway. Now I will be able to wake up looking forward to something else. Thanks for clearing this up, Sarah. It's always a comfort to hear that it isn't just me....

    Funny!!

    This had to be the funniest episode so far.

    Sarah, fantastic voice you got there! Poor thing.

    Lauren absolutely gorgeous as always.

    I agree, the podcast is of bigger (screensize) and better quality then the video.

    Problem with the Video

    I have the exact same problem.

    It's 4:41 pm here in france and the video stop 21 seconds into the broadcast.

    I try to login and out, and did what ever I could, but it won't continue to play after the 21 seconds.

     Please somebody save me :-(

    A little chaotic but it worked!

    Julie is pretty hilarious, I don't think badmachine said a single word and Sarah looked unbelievably beautiful as always...but she's sounding more like Angie Harmon than Kathleen Turner. I love the discussions, and this show is quickly becoming my favorite thing about AfterEllen.com

    Lauren is cute and all, but she seems like the Debbie Matenopoulos of She Said What? eep! Maybe I'll warm up to her soon. I just wish she'd contribute a bit more to the discussions.

    badmachine's picture

    i know!

    i didn't say anything! i was newbie to the couch... a little nervous, perhaps. i think i said at least one thing, but maybe it got cut? only a pro like sarah could get a word in edge-wise with julie and suzanne riffing off each other. i was just in awe of them!

    I'm sitting in my office

    I'm sitting in my office with headphones on and laughing hysterically as I watch this episode. People passing by are looking at me like I'm some kind of wacko...

    The "call for lesbains" made the show for me. Too funny.

    x ruthanne's picture

    loooove her!

    I love Suzanne Westenhoefer. I she is extremely funny. I think she is beautiful, i always watch her comedy special on logo. AND she's from Lancaster PA, and I live like 40 minutes from there. I would love to see her at a show, she needs to come to the PA area soon.
    sati_49's picture

    OMG

    Suzzane Westenhoefer and Sarah on the same show at the same time! My two heroes! See this is why I can’t go to anything lesbian related, I would pass out from overexcitement. FAB episode!!

    zeroesque's picture

    Goldman so not funny

    Please do not invite her back as a member of SSW panel. She's just another loud mouth without any funny material. It's almost pathetic to see her trying to be spontaneously funny but failing miserably. Why is that just because you're loud and obnoxious you think you're a funny gal?
    Rada's picture

    Ummmmm...

    I think the laughter coming from the crowd and other members of the panel suggests otherwise...I'm just sayin
    julesss's picture

    goldbomb

    looool ...ya dude i hear ya..soooo not funny.

    the audience is TOLD to laugh..shit...and if any of it is spontaneous

Dressing like ugly men. GET A CLUE okay..and the other chick the guest with the short hair ..the hot dyke...just babe..just dont show your ASS to the VIDEO camera and have it broadcasted..like that ..i was like WHOOOAAA BESSSIEEE....whats that ASSS doing there... i was like...dude wheres the DIRECTOR... clearly your show NEEDS me... but u need to pay .. i aint cheap.. living in Dubai requires STYLE and STYLE require gold bullion bars .. i mean ...uhhh u know... okay.. see how i am MORE FUNNY than THAT thing..ugh..pluuuzzz sorry Godbomb...you are not ment for the public eye...
    jammyn's picture

    I couldn't agree more with the previous poster.......

    I thought something was seriously wrong with my funny bone because this episode was so unfunny, especially the Julie chick.  I don't know if it is simply because loud women turn me off, but I just don't think she is funny.  I do miss the old gang, though, and the chemistry with this group of women seems to be "off", for want of a better word.........
    monkeywrench's picture

    I think Julie's funny... the

    I think Julie's funny... the Rosie impression cracked me up and "Dental dam Jane!"

    bad machine is so quiet. When you're with a group of talkative women and you're quiet, you got no chance! ;)

    Dinah, please don't Blow your Horn

    First things first... Julie Goldman is freaking hilarious. And so hot. I hope she stays.

    I do not miss Champaignon. Maybe Lauren could take a hike also. Not that she could even make it up the hill. She's overrated and difficult to watch. Makes me nervous. She took one look at that water and thought to herself, I wonder how many calories are in this? Poor little mantis.

     

     

    netgirl1983's picture

    Respect Anyone?

    Okay, now listen. You may not like Lauren or Chagmion, but that does not mean you have to make comments like these. Especially when it comes to how a person looks. I understand that you can not like everyone, but at least have a little respect towards people.

    unnecessary

    that comment about lauren was just plain unnecessary
    vans's picture

    you're a jerk.

    what are you lacking inside of you that you makes you so critical of others?  you should have ended your comment with the julie compliment.  spend more time working on why lauren threatens you and less time on the computer - it would be a win - win for everybody.  jerk.

    Rada's picture

    I agree

    I mean, I did call Lauren the Debbie Matenopoulos of SSW? but to make rude comments about her body is really crossing the line...
    katie089's picture

    lauren / debbie

    i totally agree with you about the whole debbie matenopoulous of ssw.
    dirty third's picture

    sweet

    this one was comedy gold (haha)!
    julesss's picture

    uugghhh torture me ---style notes

    1. Julia GoldBOMB sucks..and is in need of her parents attention STILL. boring and

    ruins the show... she kills the good energy of other episodes. She is DULL and adds nothing to the show.

     

    2. NO ONE NO ONE EEEEVVVVEEERRR to wear SHORTS on TV ...r u crazy. This includes short capri style pants, rolled up sailor jeans or whatever the hell you call that style..

     

    3. Other people need to speak on the show...Julia is a pushy dyke who turns me off. Girls like her keep me out of gaybars...at least now the younger crowd is cooler and dresses properly.

     

    4. FASHION MATTERS....take a clue

     

    5. Wheres your DIRECTOR...if you need a better one I am available.

     

     

    Rada's picture

    Hmmmmmm....

    Yeah, that's all I really have to say about this...well, unless you count the laughing
    monkeywrench's picture

    Sad

    It's very sad that on a lesbian and bisexual website that promotes being open-minded, there are still haters among us.

    All the women on this show who are regulars or guests dress quite casually. Julie didn't look out of place among them at all.

    You're just criticising her because she's the more butch one of the panel. People like to look and dress differently to yourself. Get over it.

    It is sad that "pushy dykes" turn you off since the website is full of them; dykes pushing for representation. I think if pushy dykes turn you off, this is the wrong website for you.

    wow

    what a loser.
    Rada's picture

    And

    her avatar is pretty lame. I'm just sayin....
    SophieSt.Lucas's picture

    what I meant was....

    What a loser this thread is turning in to! lol. *think I just might get away with that one!* oops! ;)
    julesss's picture

    LoL...excuse me while i barf..

     

    Nothing worse than some SAD person trying to push an opinionated fashionable lezbian living in the Middle East off an internet board...lol.... SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT...this is the kind of shit that goes on in the Lez community in the WEST but no where else.

     

    Dont confuse loudmouthboring Goldbomb with a QUEER POSITIVE PERSON....

    Being L- seems to be trendy or something now and just because you can borrow your friends video camera and post on the net..doesnt mean you are a STAR or FUNNY or a 'personality'.

    Being a TV person or internet person means having a bit of taste, having some authenticity in what you are saying. And not just repeating stuppidshite that you tell at your friends parties and they laugh cause they are drunk.

     

    Where is the HATER??? I just know from my extensive experince that Goldbomb is the wrong person to put in front of a camera. And I am being quite bitchy about it too...

     

    Who said I dont like differnt...Goldbomb isnt different, she is ultra suburban dull.

    Give me different. Give me a hard butch with a harley, short hair, thick belt, faded jeans and a bottle of jack. Give me a femme ..with her manipulative sulty, her jewels, and make up, yummmy...give me a girl in a tux with nothing underneath,, and even give me a sporty girl. But my fav of all is a lezzz intellectual, with glasses and her hair tied back...studing for her law exams...wow... what can i say i am a total women lover. Total slut...

     

    But can the L - community handle rebels who are outspoken who hate conformity who are honest who aren't monogomus.. i cant spell....and i am a dyslexic too . lol.

     

    My experience has been no.

     

    Pushing for representation .hahahahahahaha YA WHATEVER..

    You mean their is a goofy dull group of out lez who need to be represented, and if we dont like them we cant say ---HEY ....U SUCK--- GET OFF THE BROADCAST..

     

    Putting yourself on TV or the net means you are now public domain and get to suffer the slings of mud that come with it. I will not be silenced or bullied by some SAD person who thinks I should swallow the rainbow even if it is tainted.

     

     

    monkeywrench's picture

    Stupid.

    I don't understand what you mean by "pushy dyke" then if you denounce everything I said about your comments.  Actresses and a lot of people in entertainment are quite loud because they have a lot of energy.  Julie seems to be one of those people.  I don't even think she's been loud for a couple of episodes now so I don't really get what you mean.

    If you don't like someone then fine but other people do and there's no need to get too personal. There's no need to be so damn bitchy about it and call people names like you're a 7 year old.  There's no point in even giving a lengthy opinion of none of the criticism is constructive and it's all just insults.

    And last time I checked this was a talk show where all the hosts dress casually. They wear jeans and trainers! So don't go singling out someone just because their personality rubs you the wrong way. She hasn't done anything so outlandish or stupid to constitute being chucked off so keep your immature comments to yourself and give some respect to the hosts please.

    sad dont

    you should change your name to ' DON;T'...i think it will be more fitting.

    And you really should work on that thing where you try to control people.

    I know a lot about actors etc...and they are not usually disgusting to watch....oops i meant unpleasant

     

    I can do whatever I want. ...that is unless of course you and the other big kids

    are gonna wait outside my house to beat me up....LOL.

     

    Goldbomb sucks and is deserving of verbal critism from a guiness like me...dyslexic

    koma's picture

    Whoa, Nelly!

    Okay, things seem to be getting a tad out of hand here.

    First of all, it is true that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I question why anyone would come to AfterEllen.com when they have such a strong dislike for the on-air talent and the AE community. Unless, of course, that person just wants attention...

    That being said, let's make sure we're all aware of the AE rules (click "Community" and "Forum Rules" for a brush up course) - opinions are welcome but namecalling, flaming, and derogatory speech about certain types of people (butch women, for example) are not tolerated. If you have an opinion there is a nice way to state it without calling people "jerks", "losers", "ugly men", etc.

    On a personal note, while we ask that all AE members act respectfully towards each other, it's my opinion that the creators, writers, and on-air talent of AE deserve an additional level of respect from those who visit the site. Criticisms are always welcome, but let's not forget that these people put themselves out there and are also providing a great service to us. IMHO, verbally ripping them to shreds is uncalled for and patently immature.

    Hey Julez and mormongrrl82

    I'm one of the moderators of the site and I need to warn you that what you have been posting in this thread is unacceptable and needs to cease now.  AfterEllen has had very, very few issues over the years with posters being offensive and personally attacking other members or articles.  Unfortunately, we do still need to step in to some discussions and remind members what they are here for and what AfterEllen is all about.

    Criticism is always to be expected in a forum such as this, however, being critical of someone does not allow free reign to belittle and verbally assault them on the site.  So please continue to post constructive criticism as well as suggestions, but let's cut out the personal attacks please.

    julesss's picture

    ok

    ok i agree..lets end it. The only point I question is to quote the MOD above.

    "derogatory speech about certain types of people (butch women, for example) are not tolerated."

    i guees just dont understand how CERTAIN types of people are protected and not ALL types of people...lol.

    eeerrr it isnt that she is butch it is just that i found her behavoir offensive and unappealing as a viewer. As I said I like butch women but was just being bitching in my way...which apparently is funny to some and offensive to others.

     

    Well...thanks though you are right i may have went a bit over board ...lol

    Will not happen again.

     

    But I hope that you will consider my fashion advice...nevertheless.. :)

    KisSeS and HuGs aLl roUnD...

    besos habibi

     

    mmmm...just saw another post of mine with more POSITIVE critism of the SHOWs low production values was completely DELETED and not by me......not on this episode a diff one...anyway....as the 2 year old child screamed at her mommy when she was sent to her room, let me echo that setiment to the moderator on this site I HATE YOU.
