Attended a friendly Friday queer-together to watch the first half of #HeatedRivalry S1.
(even got a sticker to commemorate the occasion)
Really impressed with the show so far! Horny, dramatic, features some of the best faux-Russian I've ever heard and uses sex as a genuine storytelling tool.

3. Dubrovka hostage crisis, 2002
4. Russo-Georgian war, 2008
5. Bolotnaya protests, 2011

Of all the projects in this picture:
• 9 projects got released
• 5 got renewed for further seasons (spin-offs, too!)
• 3 are still in development
• 2 got cancelled
But somehow people pretend Lucasfilm's run in the past five years has been disasterous. Go figure.

Somehow I've returned to musical YTPs and can't help but think that they've become so much more resonant (for lack of a better term) in our AI-infested times.

It's almost like moral degradation of the Roman Empire that erodes even the protagonist who was supposed to save it is THE WHOLE POINT of the film.

Slept on it.
Came to conclusion that, in year 2025, misanthropy is kinda repulsive to me. It's a refusal to engage with the world that's hurting.
Lines between good and evil have never been clearer, yet here's a movie that shouts: "You are both mad, cruel weirdos! Just leave me be!"

What frustrates me is the suggestion that Michelle's perspective is warranted. That she actually cares for the planet – and, in her extremes, is not unlike Teddy. Perhaps, even better.
So is #Bugonia this year's #CivilWar, both-siding a very real discourse from a position of privilege?
I'm unsure.

I honestly don't know what to think of #Bugonia, other than that it was a deeply uncomfortable experience.

I keep thinking about how 3 out of 10 highest grossing films of this year were released by Warner Bros. Should the Netflix deal come through, it'll likely shove them back to COVID-era release strategy – and grosses, too, which will cripple the cinemas.
How can anyone do that *willingly*?!

I care about deeply about movie theaters. They're a vastly preferable experience to me
Theaters are cathedrals to cinema. Films are sermons of human empathy and the artists behind them are gospel preachers delivering keen insights of life
It's impossible to get that at home with its distractions

(Страна Игр / GameLand #15, August 1997)
Featuring classic traits of early Russian VG magazines, like the dense, colorful layout, and the inclusion of non-translated English terms.

Mickey 17, Superman, OBAA, The Long Walk, The Running Man, No Other Choice – all contribute to one sprawling, quintessentially 2025 commentary on our real-life slide toward fascism and the inhuman nature of hypercapitalism.

Finally caught up on #Frankenstein.
I feel that, much like Spielberg, GDT has now ascended to a certain level of filmmaking where his movies seem deceptively simple, their language familiar, their meaning clear.
We forget how incredibly hard it is to achieve such simplicity.

My first contact with Stoppard's work was in the late 2000s, joining my family for a full 10-hour production of The Coast of Utopia at the Russian Academic Youth Theatre.
It revolutionized my idea of what theatre can be and how our history resonates around the world.
