What a strange movie. With my job I have recently been on a cross-cultural training course, the objective of which was to enable you to understand drivers of behaviour in different cultures. What was particularly interesting about this to me was the way that the foreigners learnt the strange new culture, and how the changes stuck with them. And i guess trying to understand (as an observer) what is going thru the foreigners heads. Perhaps it would have been more clear to me if I lived in the USSR (as it was known) in the 1980’s…

Anyway, very good movie, Russian language so there’s a bit of reading for non-russian speakers like me, well worth it.

Koo!

The scene with the meathook freaked me out. I like it when movies make me recoil like that. I could feel it in my own back… Makes me shiver.

Good movie.

Does anyone have a good recipe for these? My Latvian grandmother used to make these, and I found a recipe once but they weren’t the same. Hers were filled with onion and bacon. Mmmmmm.

Does anyone know if you can get Mountain Dew in England? It’s my favourite soft drink, and I haven’t been able to find it at any supermarkets in Reading or Newbury :-(

I’m missing my dew.

You can get it in France… It quite common.

I think more bands should be involved with movie production. You get something completely different with them. And I’m not talking about “bands” like The Spice Girls, Mariah, or Britney Spears (cause they’ve all made awful movies).

This was well worth the watch.

Such a good movie. This is my 2nd favourite war movie of all time now, first being Full Metal Jacket.

Silly Amazon – this album is called Time Warp, not Time Wrap.

Good stuff. I hadn’t heard of these guys before Saturday night (they were playing at my work party – my company rocks in that respect). I liked them there, and then got some of their tunes. I’m really quite impressed – how popular are these guys out of the UK?

Without a doubt the best kung-fu movie I’ve seen so far. The storyline is a bit weak, but the action is astoundingly good.

Fantastic.
