Russian cops don’t fuck around…
Ever wonder what a Soviet made action film was like?
This is “Solo Voyage” also known as “The Detached Mission”. And it is the Russian response to jingoistic cinema like “Rambo” or “Red Dawn”? This is that film
This movie is about an American treasure hunter named Jack Harrison who joins forces with a team of Soviet Marines ( or Naval Infantry) in order to thwart a plot by the CIA and military industrialists who plan to launch a nuclear missile to frame the Soviets and disrupt a disarmament summit… and maybe even start World War III! But Harrison, Major Shatokin, and a brave team Soviet troops are determined to stop this conspiracy of the elite and save the world from nuclear war!
Sound familiar? Its just, you are more used to having the Russian and American roles reversed.

I got bored so I thought I would take a picture of it with one of my shirts as a back drop. I think it turned out alright.
One of my favorite episodes of “Nu, Pogodi!” Which roughly translates from Russian as “Well, just you wait!”
This is sort of the Russian version of “Tom and Jerry” or “Coyote and Roadrunner”. It follows Volk (Wolf) in his attempts to capture Zayats (Hare). This one is called “New Years Celebration”. Volk pursues Zayats across the ski slopes and through a part.
This always makes me wonder about Cold War politics. How evil could the Russians have been, according to our politicians. They make cartoons for God’s sake!
“Wolf and Calf”
A stop-motion animated film from the Soviet Union. Directed by M. Kamenetsky.
A wolf raises a calf for food. A bear, a vixen and a boar want to eat him too!

I read an article on tumblr on mysterious radio broadcasts that are bouncing around in the ether long after their broadcasters have ceased to exist. It is kind of creepy. The imagination runs wild. Even if it is some transmitter that is running long after it had been forgotten and abandoned.
Some say that it is contact with spies Some say that it is a transmission from people who don’t know they are dead. Or just maybe it comes from people stranded in another dimension.
No matter what it is. The Buzzer keeps on going…
