Seriously, just reading cyrillic takes up a big fat chunk of my concentration. Russian Caltrops would blow right over my head even worse than regular Caltrops does. Shit is still different, though. Like blog duels. I have the same problem cruising for music, too. I'm able to find things like this sort of compilation of top radio hits and similar russian rap/hip-hop compilations. But I don't know how drill down into anyone's list of recommendations - both because the tools would be different and because I wouldn't know how to read "this is a rare, fantastic album full of gritty funk" if I were staring at it. And the music categories are a little different in non-obvious ways. Like - russian rap is sometimes just a dude telling a story over music. I was lucky just to blunder into some cool dual-language blogs that cover soviet disco and the like. It's not just the language barrier, it's the culture and context barrier. I have to start from scratch like a twelve year old making a hotmail account for the first time. As for the games, SHUT UP IT'S NEW TO ME. I don't watch movie trailers in English because I don't care about movies. But it's fun to do in Russian - two-minute long lessons in how to talk about cops and failed relationships and shit!!! Mostly I watch trailers for the Soviet-era movies that my friends tell me about. But the other day I was watching this one trailer for this cool gritty-looking cop flick and it was just the sort of movie I had imagined there would be DOZENS of in Russia and the production values were awesome and there was this cool gritty-looking lead character and all of a sudden I was like do Moscow cops really wear that hat? that's the same hat London cops wear! then ...there are double-decker busses in Moscow....? it was a trailer for Blitz. |
