PAINTING: Man pulling his Beard

Victor!,

Thanks do much! Yes, I've been searching for years for a good disco song about Rasputin- from which I learned he was "big and strong"- as poetic as disco gets. Hoever, I think the lead singer was confusing "Rasputin" with "Rastafarian".

Rasputin is fascinating to me- and had one of the best dodges I know- perfect religious logic: in order to be more religious I must sin like hell with sex and alcohol so the nature of sin is familiar and so as to provides more repentance opportunities. Brilliant, and something I intend to try when the economy improves!

I did see Agoniya years ago, but it seemed unusually flat- a very static film that did help understand the sequence of events that led to his relationship with Alexander & Co, but didn't depict the kind of hypnotic presence and intrigue- the manipulation of the Czar's family- I was looking for after reading a Rasputin biography.

Forget the discount, infantile magic of Humpy Potter when there was a real sorcerer that influenced world events- and took about 5 methods to kill.

Someone should do a really strong Rasputin treatment- unfortunately it would probably star Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka the child molester- again.

Cheers,

Bambi B
