At the request of my wonderful clanmates, I am posting two heroic poems here. Dedicated to the "Land of the Crab" tournament for the second Heroes game. Notes: AI - computer opponent in the game; Necropolis, Knight, Sorceress - races of the opponents; the Castle is located near the sea, and there is a boat that you can board on the first day; Sir Nzol is one of the strongest players in the world in the second Heroes game; arrobа - the name of the prizes. I diligently explore the map, But here, mighty, like a bull, The AI in the tournament of the landless Suddenly appears before me. He is multifaceted, like a hydra, And Necropolis, and Knight, and Sorceress, And he doesn't want peace at all. But where is the progress in my game? I get into the boat. It was getting dark... In the morning, I'm in the boat again! ...and at this time, the skilled computer Creeps towards the Castles, like a thief. We approach the Castle. There is a troop And menacing spears stick out. Everything is tense, like a spring, Like a newbie before entering the chat. In how many days, with what force Would Sir Nzol defeat this save? There are two options. Beautifully... But how to achieve this picture? Brave computer armies are crawling, But we will prepare for the meeting! Like a knitted athlete Preparing for the farewell to winter. We are not fighting for a fief today, Not for arrobа, not for a prize! But so that in the morning the sun rises And the troops set off on a cruise. Attacks, sharp as a razor, Maneuvers, intricate as linen, And there will be a storm, and there will be a battle, And the Crab will be liberated!

And here is the second poem, dedicated to the tournament for the second Heroes game on the map "Who Am I?". The map begins with the question: "Who am I? Where am I?", the starting point is by the sea without a Castle or a boat, and the condition for defeat is losing the starting hero named "Who Am I?". I opened the map. Where is the Castle? One... in an unknown land... Where am I? Who am I? Only the sea is nearby. And everything seems like a strange dream... I walk along the shore slowly. Am I in a daze... but I need to Defeat these cute skeletons In this vast, unknown land. There are so many powerful monsters here, And how many troops the AI has! But how, tell me, can these hordes Be defeated to give the Sun space! I had a great time in the Tavern, Wielding everything I could find, But here the AI is so cunning, It's planning revenge... What a nerve! For now, the monsters are triumphant. Powerful armies Shout "come on, come on, move!" Like a DJ in a bar by the Oka River. But no! These songs are not for us! We fly forward, defying the AI! In this unknown, wondrous land, We are destined for many adventures. What is most important? Having explored these lands, To be able not to lose ourselves! And the sky, blue like a gremlin, Will smile at us like a child... And the sea will cherish us, Like Crete cherishes Aphrodite, And the Phoenix, as red as a flame, Will soar above us again!

I saw "Beauty and the Beast." I was completely unexpectedly impressed! It was excellently written and brilliantly performed!! Before that, I saw "The Twelve Chairs" (a good show, it's a shame they closed it), "Cats" (I was at the closed premiere. I wasn't very impressed; the performance wasn't perfect, and overall it was just... meh), and "Mamma Mia" (not bad). "Beauty and the Beast" was the best of all!! A truly recession-proof performance!!!

...when only an hour remains until dawn, and it's impossible to think anymore,
and the pages of books once written are forgotten –
only to look at you, warming your skin with my breath,
only to bask in happiness, kissing the face of my beloved.

2Qwerty: For some reason, I'm sure you stopped writing poetry quite a while ago. And the poems are very good. I read them – I didn't stumble anywhere. You can say a lot about a person by their rhymes and rhythms. Are those feelings still there? Do they still exist? I want to believe that they do.

Qwerty only writes about Heroes of Might and Magic...
And what he posted above was written more than 20 years ago, and he published it because it was just in his memory...

I saw the 1945 film "The Enchanted".
I would include this film in the mandatory curriculum for higher education in cultural studies.

I was at Dayan Warwick's concert at Crocus City Hall. Excellent! I was also very happy to see so many young people at the concert who appreciate style and the ability to listen and feel...

I saw "Avatar" in 3D, in the second row. There's a frequently expressed opinion that the plots are repetitive. Before objecting, find 10 differences between Lermontov's "Masquerade" and Shakespeare's "Othello." "Avatar" is a serious work. And the fact that the plot echoes "Taras Bulba" isn't a problem. After all, "Taras Bulba" isn't that far from "Romeo and Juliet," as it might seem at first glance...

Vasily Vasilyevich Smyslov has passed away.
There are no words, only respect and a quiet sadness.
That's how it is.

I watched the movie that was released in our theaters under the title "Kick-Ass". It's a great film, a blend of the first part of "Kill Bill", "Superhero Movie", and the best of the legendary "American Pie". The image of "Hit-Girl" entering the building in the final scene of the film...

...The image of "The Killer" entering a building in the final scene of the film was reportedly borrowed by Shapovalov for "t.A.T.u." from a Hollywood movie. Unfortunately, I don't remember the title, but the plot is roughly as follows: a teenage girl mistakenly ends up in a correctional facility, and there she discovers new horizons within herself. It seems that this image appeared for the first time there, although perhaps the source was even earlier ...

What does "killer image" mean?

What does "killer look" mean?

The "killer look" is a combination of clothing styles, hairstyle, makeup, and mannerisms that are characteristic of one of the main characters in the film - Kill Bill.

I watched "Jersey Girl" again. And once again, I saw the talent of Kevin Smith, the beauty of Liv Tyler, and the excellent performances of Ben Affleck, Jason Biggs, and the actor who played Ben Affleck's father.
