ahhh, inflation...

192.124.182.194


Hi, Victor

I haven't seen these movies, so my comments are just general.

Your examlpe shows one thing that concerns me more and more.
It's not only language... looks like everything becomes
simplified and unified. I obtain standartized characters,
stories, tricks and, yes, language. "Fuck you" as a (lowest:)
common denominator for some basic emotion...

For me, this makes lots of movies predictable and boring.
And even when I'm successfully entertained, I still feel
that my pleasure carries a good doze of... well, something
like masturbation.

Is it an "inflation" of film art as we know it? Hmm... if it
isn't then what IS? Sign of the beast? Well, I doubt it; my
guess is that culture will (most probably:) survive, as it
happened before.

It's difficult to me even to qualify such a standartization
as 100% negative thing... creative art can occur inside a
restricted set of hard rules; music and literature show it's
possible. Maybe my problem is just a limited experience...
I've seen only *combinatorial*, not creative activity so far...
my fault, maybe?

Actually, I don't care much, since there are TONS of old *quality*
movies out there to enjoy. :)


As for dacha, it was cool indeed. "Dachka v Kratovo, Volga-matushka...".
It's near Istra indeed. :) I was done with potatoes in September,
so this time there was just *snow* digging. Fresh air, cold vodka,
some sex... life is good.


>>As fas as antique gans go, I asked my friends in Moscow to look for
some SVT-40 magazines - they are impossible to find here. You wouldn't
have some in your basement, would you?<<

Sorry, I'm peaceful. :) There's nothing but vegetables in my basement.
SVT is Tokarev, right? I've heard that Tula is a good place to do
gun-searching.


regards, gnat
