I hadn't had a chance to see this movie back in the old Soviet Union. I heard a lot people talking about Rumble Fish, and I saw a snippet of it in my friend's house. He had a 'vidik', which was a big deal then, and a bunch of us used to come to his place to watch foreign movies (I don't want to specify what most of them were :). His 'vidik' would show movies only in black and white. So when I fist rented this move here in US, I was surprised to see it in black and white … as well. There are a lot of movies made this way since the time the color was introduced. I guess it is some kind of tribute to the story telling movies, most of which were done in the old days. But in this case, this way of film making is exceptionally good and original. One of the main characters, played by Mickey Rourke, actually is color blind. While watching the movie, it takes some time to realize that the whole story comes from him, the character played Rourke. And the ending is just so great… It's in color!

"Uncle Nino" is grreat movie, available on netflix streaming

I use netflix streaming.  It streams onto a 92 inch screen and looks at least dvd quality, sometimes close to HD.  I signed up with netflix streaming (it's like $9 per month) because all seasons of Dexter were available on it.

There are a number of ways to "keep" rented Netflix movies.

1. You could make copies of the rental disks being sent to you in the mail. Many disks feature copy protection, but there are software titles on the web available...

2. You could stream movies (only a limited amount of streamed movies available) and capture them via frame grabbing software.

I hope this helps

Wow! That is Philip K. D...k. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Dick. What a censorship... just like way back in the old Soviet Union. Way to go Kostja, way to go ... if you don't know who wrote 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' then it's way to go.

Dick, Dick, Dick. . .

Soundtrack by Vangelis is a must have.

I just typed D..I..C..K. and had a test.

412, what power you have that I don't. Kostya we need to talk. This is just ridiculous!
