The immortal count

[marusja]

New Yorker: Бела Лугоши мечтал о романтических ролях, на которые его не брали ввиду акцента и общей "европейскости" манер. Оставалось играть Дон Жуана в жизни: Лугоши был женат пять раз и скончался в 1956 году под огромным портретом обнажённой Клары Бау, который остался ему на память об их романе.

"Bereft in deathly bloom; Alone in a darkened room" The 20th century had treated many fabulous people in this manner. Theremin, who invented the electronic music and was giving concerts in Carnegie Hall was abducted and forcefully brought to Moscow, where he worked for KGB till the end of his life. He was never again seriously involved with performing music. Vadim Kozin refused to sing for Stalin and was sent off to Magadan. He had been giving some small concerts there, but nothing more than that. He died in Magadan. Even Marlene Dietrich, who was welcomed by Hollywood, died alone zatvornicej. She was afraid to show her wilted beauty. Pechalno v obschem.

Ja nemnozhko cyrillic-challenged. Is it ok to comment you in English? A to ja vas pochityvaju, uzh bolno vy pro kino horosho pishete.

So, how is that one day you're in Moscow and another in SF? What's going on?

Thank you :)
Конечно можно in English.
А так... перемена участи :) Живу я теперь здесь :)
А откуда цитата про darkened room?

[dunkelnacht.livejournal.com]

Pretty nice change of luck if you ask me :) You probably like Moscow though. Well, at least we have great weather here. I'm from Chelyabinsk, so, SF seems like paradise. Which part of the city do you live in?

Tak ved Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi's Dead". S chego sobstvenno schitajetsia chto nachalsia goth rock...

[marusja.livejournal.com]

Да, сейчас тут действительно тепло :)
А я на Twin Peaks, высоко сидим, далеко глядим... а вы?
Честно говоря, я имею довольно слабое понятие о goth rock, несмотря на все усилия брата по моему просвещению...

Twin Peaks... krasivo tam... i tumanno letom. I'm on Haight, just beside the Buena Vista park. It has a nice view too... Tolko lezt vysoko.

You should check it out, vam ved dekadentschina naverniaka nravitsia :) And SF is a great place to do that, they play goth in many clubs and venues. Is your brother into that type of music? Where's his LJ?

У нас тоже высоко :) А у вас весёлые кафешки и клубы, и я тоже была там в густом тумане.
А у брата нет LJ, по крайней мере, он не признаётся :)
