Didn't know Russians had a movie industry. :shrug: No place around here rents those - Quite amazing considering the number of Russian refugees we have.

[pgmatg]

I have rent links for some Russian movies at my site, check DVD (http://www.geocities.com/rusatg/dvd.htm) page out.

[STIBROKER]

do you have any movie's about the lunchmeat we call spam...do they eat spam in russia......

[JasmineDreamz]

I watched a movie called Solaris (well, I tried to watch it) with George Cluney in it that was set in space, he was a psychologist (or some such thing) and he kept seeing his wife who wasn't there. It bored the heck out of me and I ended up not watching it all. Don't know if it's the same movie or not though.

Can you put a star by the ones with boobies, and two stars by the ones with lesbian scenes?

Thanks.

[gopsdragon]

That DVD link gives me a Dr. Watson IExplorer error. Sorry JB can't tell you if it has been updated with the one and two star system yet.

Don't know why would explorer crash on any of my pages, it's all standard html, except for http://www.geocities.com/rusatg/dir.htm
which has some java script.
I suggest you upgrade you browser or switch to Netscape.

Maybe I'll just get a Mac. :rolleyes: Are the links really worth it? :D

:sure: :sure: :sure:

By all means, switch to Netscape. Everyone designs for Netscape. I mean... hell... at least 3% of people on the web use Netscape.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[JDub]

You're such an imperialist.

[pgmatg]

Actually in America it's about 15%,
in Europe 25%, Japan 30%.
The main reasons to use Netscape:
security, no web site embedded trojans,
no spyware hidden add-ons;
simple pop-up disable feature;
image looping control; tabs;
integrated into one application web, email, messenger and editor.

Oh. Just curious then, where's your data? I'd like to take a look.

I personally run two personal web sites, 16 other web sites during the day, and three more client sites in my spare time. Altogether Netscape accounts for maybe four percent, occasionally (over an individual month) it may get betwen 5-6% for an individual site.

I'm certainly interested in seeing some other up-to-date statistical analysis though.

[pgmatg]

I don't remember the web site where I found the report.
Not all versions of Netscape report itself as Netscape.
I know of 18 variations, only half of those get reported as Netscape, 6 as Mozilla, 3 as IE 6.0 compatible.
And then there's Mozilla which is Open Source Netscape.
Also there is Alexa, which is somewhat big in Europe, and quite a few others.

Good to know, thanks.

Some time ago I've started to translate my actors (http://www.geocities.com/rusatg/rusactor.htm) pages,
so far Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Aleksandr Abdulov, Yevgeni Leonov & Nikita Mihalkov.
Tell me what you think. If you like it. I'll do my best to translate the rest.

Also created a page listing Russian films released in 2002 (http://www.geocities.com/rusatg/2002.htm),
that are available in America, like the one I already have for 2003.
If there is interest in those pages, I'll create more.

The only Russian film I ever saw was the silent war-drama Battleship Potemkin (1925) and it's worth noting this classic unfortunately has no hot lesbo or SPAM scenes.

[pgmatg]

There is a very good Russian Sci-Fi / Fantasy movie "Night watch" in theaters now ("Lord of the Rings" meets "Prophecy"). It's been out on DVD for some time, but since Fox bought all American distribution rights, they have mandated to stop making NTSC formatted dvds of it. The disk has been slowly disappearing from even Russian stores in America. And Fox kept postponing the release until limited release on friday, while sequel "Day Watch" is already out in Russia on pal dvd (without subs only). Both installments beat American movies in Russia. And the studio is insisting on filming the 3rd part in English. Ain't US movie studios wonderful :rolleyes:

[Ether_Elemental]

[melendipity]

I dont doubt Russian Cinematography is great.

Where were you born? I'm more interested in your experiences in Russia. I have a friend who was born in the Ukraine, and he hates the poverty of the Ukraine.

Russian movies totally suck.
Everybody looks like they're stuck in the 80's and like they were taken straight out of the coalmine and put in front of the camera. The women have bath teeth, need to shave badly and need some tanning. Oh hold on thats russian pr0n. :nuts:
