My Jason costume/medal tweet from September went alive again.
https://twitter.com/Fuglefro/status/908378106607669250
I wondered why it was liked and retweeted (like crazy!) again, mostly by Russians as well.
Then I realised Rotten Tomatoes has embedded it in an article (Jason's response to the Russian ban)
https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/ar ... talin-ban/#
I don't know if that's the reason, or maybe the Russians really wonder what the movie is about. Banning a movie is making sure everyone sees it.
The Norwegain distributor is planning to show it to Russians for free in Kirkenes (the closest border town).

I like the Jason/General Zhukov "You'll laugh. Or else." poster in that Rotten Tomatoes link.

Thanks, Helen.
Looks like there were som mixed reactions. But it's hard to know what people think in a country like that. It's not so smart to express that you like a movie that the govenrment is trying to ban...
