Vladimir Bortko

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

This Russian director has directed many mind-blowing, intelligent and extremely well-made mini-series. Anyone interested in true substance in modern television, look for Idiot (his adaptation of the Dostoievski novel) or Master & Margaret, or anything else he's made, so far i've just seen those two.

i've never seen anything better than these on television. Yes, they are even better than Rome. Much much better. This is what television would be if i were the Tsar.

I don't watch TV - so alas, I'd miss all of your illustrious productions. Ho-hum.

Oops... :oops: sorry mr. Cock!
Ik dacht het echt! Wat ben je dan? That wasn't meant to offend you just a different wave-length! :wink:

What happened in Rome in the past is just evil as what happened in Germany in the past as what happened in most countries in the past and I'm afraid present!

But the musicians from these countries still make damn fine music in my book and that was more my mind's eye's thinking...

I really don't mean to offend on HL unless I mean it! :wink:

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
