Agnes Revisited

Happy Boxing Day, everyone! Well, I had intended for today's post to be about the HITLER KAPUT! test screening we were to have. However, the layback to tape failed due to a missing XLR cable. So the theater was unbooked, the guinea pigs waved off, and all my good intentions cast asunder.

So for lack of anything better, and because celebrity gossip always seems to work, we'll take just one more quick look at Agnes. For it turns out that she isn't just in Moscow with the dream of becoming an actress. It turns out she's an actual bona fide movie star.


That's her above sandwiched between those two guys. The movie is called ZHARA, or Heat. No relation to the Michael Mann film of the same name. The theater you see just behind the billboard is the Octobr. It's a multi-screen affair, among which is the English language set-aside auditorium in which I've now seen two films.

ZHARA was a big hit here. Agnes' real-life squeeze is the actor to her right. Well, our right. To the inside of the banner, to the right. They're a celebrity couple in the vein of Brannifer. Or Jenniston. Or Benniston. Or Bannijenniston. Which sounds like a cough syrup.

I took the picture of Agnes below at Apartment 44. I think it's cool.


But Agnes also has a huge cosmetics contract like Beyonce' for Cover Girl, or whichever one it is she's shilling for. So rather than the Picasso-like image above, most people see Agnes on movie screens or in magazines, like on the page below...


Agnes has promised to teach me a few key phrases in Lithuanian.
