Presenting you, Innokenty Smoktunovsky as Yuri Detochkin from "Beware of the Car" (1966) vs. Lord Hamlet from "Hamlet" (1964)!
Two of my favorite roles of his, had the urge to draw him so bad because he's way too spectacular. It's like the sun and moon at the same time 😂

My whole life has been movies and religion. That’s it. Nothing else.
- Martin Scorsese
Scorsese’s favourite foreign films list.
Interestingly no films from Scandinavian cinema or Russian cinema. This is decidely odd as Scorsese has gone on record to show his appreciation of such landmark films as Grigory Kozintsev’s darkly Russian take on ‘Hamlet’ (1964) and Tengiz Abuladze’s 1967 classic ‘Vedreba’ as well as Viktor Tregubovich’s ‘At War as at War’ (1968) and tale of conflicting friendship during war in Yevgeni Karelov’s little seen 1968 classic ‘Two Comrades Served.’
Both Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese have publicly gone on record to highlight how much Jan Troell’s back to back movies of Swedish immigrants (with Max von Sydow in the lead role) forging a new life in the pre-civil war America in Minnesota ‘The Emigrants’ (1971) and ‘The New Land’ (1972) greatly influenced Coppola’s ‘The Godfather’ (1972) and Scorsese’s little seen Russian mafia in Naples film, ‘Goncharov’ (1973).

Just came back from my local library ,the book I checked out is Night Watch by Terry Pratchett,and this is actually the first Terry Pratchett book I have attempted to read ....Yes it feels weird to start at the 29th book but from what I know of Discworld they are all pretty episodic ,and I really picked it blindly (IOf the Discworld books present ,the top contenders were this one ,Snuff and Soul Music ,and went with this one cause....Honestly it looked shorter and I though it was the first book with the Watch )
I also bought three books (My Library has an assortment of donated books you can buy for a dollar ),including another Terry Pratchett,Colour of Magic ,a replacement for a Calvin and Hobbes book my dog destroyed , and John Gardners Grendel
Rented three movies :Soylent Green ,African Queen and GRigori Kozintsevs King Lear (Which I was surprised to find )
So ummm support your local library

Finally drew Smoktunovsky's Hamlet. I'll say and I'll keep saying it again, he was FANTASTIC. The acting. His way of talking. I'm in love, your honor.
Original reference from the film!
Don't tell me I was the one who kept simping for this madman I FELT MYSELF LIKE *passes out on the floor*
