Ok, no problem dude You see, I just prefer optimistic, positive, light (or should I say "easy") movies rather than some pessimistic, heavy, depressive ones. But it doesn't mean that I'm a big fan of Hollywood Rambo-type or Commando-like movies
Though, ironically, I've not only seen that movies but I also have read both books (three parts about Rambo by David Morell and Commando by Alister MacLean). I could have made mistakes about the authors' names because it was way back during my early teenage years or even before, some 8-10 years ago.

kalinka_vinnie, I wonder how many Russian movies have you seen? Could you say approximately? Are there still some movies that you haven't seen?

I don't know how many... euh... maybe 70-80? There are many films I haven't seen yet But I am still "young"!

What kind of thread would you like to be sewed with?

Now I understand that it's also boring for you to remember that this word is written "sue".

Ok, so I screwed up your word. So sew me (please don't)!

Hmm... it's a good idea! I'll claim two, no, four packs of Aquavit in compensation! 8)

Commando by Alister MacLean

What a foolish thing I wrote. Now I've remembered that the author of Commando is Arthur Quarry.
That is not to mention this construction of mine - "that movies"
And "Rambo" should be "Rembo", right?

It seems kalinka_vinnie, The Great Master of Misprints, Typos and Freudian Slips has taught me extremely well!

P.S. And what is this "Aquavit" thing net surfer keeps talking about? Some alcoholic drink?

Rambo is Rambo, the letter e has nothing it should be doing in this name.

Aquavit... well, let's call it Norwegian Vodka. That should give you an idea

Oh, I see

Hm... Norwegian Vodka... Valerenga... You must have something to do with Norway

Excellent deduction Mr. Watson! I am Norwegian by trade

Yeah, I'm glad you appreciated it! By the way, Sherlock Holmes is one of my favourite literary heroes. I've read almost everything there is about him. That is in Russian, of course. But now I'm going to listen to audiobooks about him in English

I am Norwegian by trade

Whoops!
I thought you were American. So your native language is Norwegian, not English, eh? And how long have you been living in USA?

I am bilingual, I speak english with my parents.
