on a totally unrelated note:

it's a shame the young Christopher Lee would not be playing the part.

I would say it has been this crazy for a good while now.

the artist is immensely talented but excruciatingly sexist. he has won a lot in a LiveJournal community dedicated to fan art competitions — say, like this one on the Game of Thrones or on Futurama. btw, the winner of the Futurama competition is up IO9's alley —

I am surprised why nobody pointed out how the killing of Carter mirrors the scene where Lasky was killed. they are very similar — Carter and a man helping her to take down HR on the one side and a man from HR on the other side — but you can beat the odds only so many times.

well, at least there exists at least one Russian Americans do love, right?

seriously? and here I was, thinking it was a documentary.

this is even sadder.

you are right, that, too. but who cares for those stupid Russians, anyway? as they showed us, the only speaking Russian in the prison was a political prisoner, or so he says.

he told him that his men would find them everywhere and leave their children orphans. not very intimidating by Russian standards, believe you me.

I am not saying that hat was bad, god forbid. my Mom had one just like this — and still has it somewhere. just way too much cultural baggage and references come with that model to anyone who lived in the Soviet Union in the 1980-ties. which comes at a loud clash with everything else Russian in this episode. if she had…

Oliver's Russian was atrocious, even worse than before, even by American movie standards. I am a native Russian speaker and an English-Russian interpreter by trade, and were there no subtitles I would have had no idea what he was talking about.

well, concentration camps were invented by Brits — for Boers.

supply and demand much? if there were no demand from males for sexualization and sexual exploitation of children, there would be no adults forcing children to undress on camera. so your proposal addresses the wrong side of the situation.

colonized by Russia? yes. Russian? no.

no ethnic similarities can serve as a ground to call these countries Russian — now or ever.

firstly, not _the_ Ukraine. Ukraine. and no, we never were Russia. it is incorrect and ignorant to refer to these countries as Russian.

any historian unable to differentiate between the Soviets and the Russians should abstain from talking about the WW2.
