  Hi, Victor

  
  > > >
  ***Thank you, I'll try to find it.

  As I mentioned before, it is DEFINITELY worth it. I loved
  it, my wife even more so. It's got
  very warm human undertones that are impossible to ignore.
  And several people play with their
  faces and voices, not legs or arms.
  < < <

  That's almost forgotten art, so I'm convinced now. Ohh btw, I couldn't
  find *Rawney* in my dictionary as well. Please, translate it po-Russki.

  
  > > >
  ***To be continued...

  Appreciate a lot - whenever yo have a chance, just throw something in
  the direction ot the US of A.
  < < <

  I hope you don't mind following local TV program - I'll use it's rotation
  to refresh my memories. :)

  
  > > >
  We went to Phily this weekend and rented four movies from your list.
  Buying three packs of pelmeny also added to trip justification. The
  Okhota was out. My wife liked the Genius and it was fun to watch good
  actors in Lubit' po-Russki (the sizes of those breasts were, well,
  quite unbelievable... no implants there...), she didn't care much
  for the action.
  < < <

  I felt that nostalgic smell will add some value to Lubit' for you.
  Matveev once played Brezhnev btw. :)

  
  > > >
  So if you could dig into your "gentle" stock for more drama or commedy
  with good actors...
  > > >

  Unfortunately, I can't remember drama now (but there were a few of VERY
  good ones in 80th). Working on it...

  With comedy it's somehow easier. Continue your hunt for Okhota. :) I hope
  you have seen the big three: "Garage", "Ironia Sud'by", "Beregis' Avtomobilja".
  If not, just get these. Then there was "Hi I'm your aunt" (="Zdravstvujte,
  ja vasha tetja").

  
  > > >
  BTW, did you see one of the latest Yankovski' work, something about two twin
  systers? I saw a promotion and it looked good, but many of them do.
  > > >

  Nope. I haven't even seen the Tzar-killer, though I almost feel how he fits
  into Nikolaj II image. Guess I just fear to be disappointed comparing these
  to his 80th works. "Munchgausen", "Routine Wonder" (="Obyknovennoje chudo"),
  "Two Camerades" (="Dva tovarisha") with Rolan Bykov. I'm sure there are even
  better than these, which I forgot. :(

  
  > > >
  Kind of crowd you see by the Botchka joint in Moscow.

  ***Are you sure? Say, I cut my hair fairly short and look kinda dangerous
  without glasses. Could they be just peaceful programmers with contact
  lenses? :)

  Yeah, right... Lots of them "programmers" at the Botchka... I've spent enough
  years in the underbelly of Lygovka and Wyborgskaya to be able to tell a Cobol
  specialist from Sashka Krivoy.
  < < <

  These sauruses have different tesauruses, right? Considering Y2K proximity,
  I wonder now who is more dangerous?

  
  > > >
  ***OTOH if they're *real* bandits, maybe they can "dostat'" you this SVT-40?

  I am afraid they will sooner dostat' me WITH it.
  < < <

  LOL, you're right! I overlooked this risk.

  
  > > >
  ***Damn. I must drink LESS.

  Latest research shows one needs at least a glass of wine a day to stay
  healthy. Don't let yourself down.

  ***Damn! So that's why I feel so bad in my 100% sober days. ;-)

  Must be hard to go through a typical Moscow day 100% sober...
  < < <

  "One drink in the morning - free the whole day". = "Vypil s utra - ves'
  den' svoboden".

    It is predskazatel', or yasnovidets. None of my dictionaries had it, not even the Galperin or Muller. My American associate didn't know it either. The much more common word is 'seer' - it is a synonym.

    ***I hope you don't mind following local TV program - I'll use it's rotation

    Fine with me, whatever it takes.

    ***I felt that nostalgic smell will add some value to Lubit' for you.
    Matveev once played Brezhnev btw. :)

    He doesn't need any makeup for that, either. That was my first impression too.

    Well, I may be young, but I am not THAT young. I saw all of these back in Russia. Fine movies, for sure.

    Yep, saw this one. Very good.

    
    ***"Routine Wonder" (="Obyknovennoje chudo"),
    "Two Camerades" (="Dva tovarisha") with Rolan Bykov. I'm sure there are even

    Seen all of these. Good.

    
    ***These sauruses have different tesauruses, right? Considering Y2K proximity,
    I wonder now who is more dangerous?

    My wife is a programmer with one HUGE financial institution. I suspect more problems have been created while trying to "fix" the potential Y2K ones. Personally, I don't expect much to happen at all.

    ***"One drink in the morning - free the whole day". = "Vypil s utra - ves'

    It is mostly milk-and-cornflakes in the mornings here.

    Speaking of good movies, we saw one more time the Rules of the Game last night. Highly recommended.

    How much snow you got so far?

    Victor.

      Or 'providets'... provider? :) Thanx, I feel better now. Hey... Huskins
      played in Cotton Club, right?

      I still can't find it here, but there are two or three BIG shops left
      unvisited yet.

      Ummm... "Winter Cherry" = "Zimnyaya Vishnya". I remember I liked it... but
      I forgot, whether it was melo- or just drama. And of course, I forgot
      whether it was made in 70s or 80s. :)

      < < <

      I just had to be sure that you're familiar with *basic* stuff.
      Kinda exams... ;-) "Student Khomenko, what did XX congress of
      CPSU say about Maxwell theory?"

      I dunno... I'm not a rawney. :) Digital clipping can be extremely
      unpleasant in some cases though.

      That's definitely better for day work.

      Thank you, it's available here. Just avoid "The Game". :)

      Not much. A farmer in me feels sad about it.
