Good news, Victor. Casablanca seems to be recently re-released
here. So Irina just bought it in... well I forgot where. Good
film. Good actors play good. TONS of pleasure. "I think it's..." :)

Numbers can be funny. A typical average size shopping mall video
store here would have several thousand titles, but as petew noticed
before - most of them junk. It is not the matter of severa thousands,
it is a matter of the *right* several thousands.
<<<Yeah. I think I underestimated the amount of junk. Bad news are
that I couldn't find a place in Moscow for REAL film lovers.
I asked about it at local films webboard, but the only answer
so far was Gorbushka. It didn't impress me.
I'm still not sure whether it's MGIMO or MIMO. 'G' means 'gosudarstvenny',
but I really don't know whether it's a part of official title. Do you
know btw that there's no more "Baumanskoje Uchilishe" in Moscow? It's
renamed into university. One of the old Bauman' guys told me that it
was a bad move. 'Before we were proud to say that we learned in the
only Uchilishe in the whole world that gives a higher education. Now
it's just a ubiquitous university, damn!'
I knew, I knew that you're familiar with this anecdote. "Ask!" ;-)
