Some writers might explain the obvious similarities between these films and the fictional trailer (such as how A Beautiful Mind and Good Will Hunting inspired the giant math equation), but you're a smart reader and can probably make the connections yourself. So we'll move along to the next phase: proof of the video's popularity...

Eliot—the namesake of the House who graduated from the College in 1853—is perched over them, ready to help.

In 2008, Navalny filed a lawsuit to force Rosneft to reveal information about delivery contracts it had with an obscure Swiss oil trader called Gunvor, whose co-owner is an acquaintance of Putin's. A Moscow arbitration court rejected the suit, saying the company was not obligated by Russian...
