waxwing, I hope it wouldn't put you out if I asked you what exactly you had in mind by 'culture' when you were talking about the film in question? how did it show the Russian culture? what have you learnt from this film about us and our culture?

@Friendy: Despite the fact that Goga is a wino and a poof, he does the right thing treating a lady as one would treat a whore. That's what you ladies want, believe me, I wouldn't lie to you - a lady wants to be treated as a whore and a whore wants to be treated as a lady - has stood me in good stead, this little golden rule.

@Линдзи, must you always argue with me? I know you secretely admire me. It's OK, Линдзи, you know I'd be good, you know I'd treat you as a lady.
