I was trying to do research online to find a Russian movie without which no holiday is complete (we had a copy, but we no longer can watch it because it's in the European format and we no longer have a converter). And I came across this article, which is perfect, haha.

Thank you for the Christmas card! It arrived yesterday.

Reading about the "must watch on New Year's Eve" film reminds me of the corresponding German phenomenon: Dinner for One is a staple in German households on New Year's Eve, at least in my experience.

There's a couple movies that I watch on computer because they're Region 2. Of course, my computer doesn't worry about region codes; more recent computers have limited region switches. I don't think it's that hard to find a DVD copier that will output a Region 0 version.

Have you watched the movie yet? I've got a copy of the Russian Jack Frost, and found that the subtitling and dubbing obviously weren't done by native speakers, and are quite a bit lacking, to the point that I couldn't finish the movie.

This was really interesting, especially the part about being influenced by Chinese zodiacs in deciding what to wear! I had no idea!
