Oddities

This is nothing but your typical golden moo-cow with stilted chicken legs saddled by a Turkic carpet and ridden by a singing naked clay woman sculpture who is standing in a birdfeeder.



Ski jump off a cliff. Four-season ski jump. Thats a jumper in a pink jump suit. You can see the sand 'landing zone' in the background. I felt like buying the guy a frizbee.

Myuzhskoy Syezon opened this week. I get the filling the Russians don't make many of their own movies, since the advertizements for this trash flick are as omnipresent as ugly guys with plastic bags. The title literally means "Manly Season." This 300 foot version of their typical 'exploding trolleybus and flying motorcycle flanked by slavic tough guy with a pathetically fake facial scar and dork in suit who looks like the guy from the computer game Half-Life' billboard featurs two giant crocidiles of seemingly infantesimal length leaping from out of the Moscow River, which also appears to be on fire. The quote on this: "You see, Russian movies are not very complex." It looks so bad that I almost want terribly badly to see it.

I found these horses grazing in the grassy area between a concert hall and a 6 lane divided avenue with street trolleys. No one seemed particularly interested. I told a coworker I had seen this, the answer I got was: "Yeah. ...And what?"


"Moiy Zhizin" [My Life], by the Fat Bastard, was released in Russian last week. I assume it sucks equally in any language.
