No research at all seems to have been made either into any real case of seduction or into the behavior of people in Russia when they are amongst each other.
CRIMSONLAND SECRET WEAPONS MOVIE
There were reports of Western men who were put into uncomfortable situations by female baits" and later subjected to blackmail (didn't the West reciprocate in kind?) The script for this movie draws from stories of that sort and basically tells about a bait school" in which innocent Russian girls are turned into Communist femmes fatales in the name of the Motherland. The Soviet Empire seemed to be an intact hostile machinery, its potential of committing evil actions boundless. In 1985 the Red Scare still was very real in the Western World. Secret Weapons is a perfect example to illustrate that. B movies are often very rewarding in this aspect as they reflect the feel of a certain era in a certain place without the slightest pretenses and therefore all the purer. The return of the D23 Expo isn’t just a win for Disney and Anaheim, it’s a reminder of how well the two can work for each other when they try.One of the great thrills the medias film and DVD give me is the possibility to travel in time. Neither provides the ideal solution that Disney has in Anaheim. To stage something like that, Universal would need either to take several of its soundstages out of production for the event or to put it at the Los Angeles Convention Center ,12 long miles away on US 101. Even if the event had happened, it would not have been anything on the scale of the D23 Expo. Universal Studios Hollywood did plan a Peacock Live event at the park in March 2020 to help promote NBCUniversal’s streaming service, but that was an early loss to the pandemic. The proximity of Hollywood talent to the Disneyland Resort is a big reason why Disney has kept the D23 Expo in Southern California rather than move it to the larger Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. But even then, Universal would need to fly Hollywood stars and entertainment media to Orlando for the event, which would demand a bigger time and expense commitment than sending limos to drive actors from around Southern California to Anaheim. In a few years, though, Universal will, when its Epic Universe theme park opens across the street from the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.

Right now, no other major Hollywood studio can offer that kind of one-two entertainment combination. The D23 Expo not only brings fans to the Anaheim Convention Center, it brings them to Disneyland’s theme parks and hotels. Disney enjoys the advantage of having a large, world-class convention center sitting across the street from the Disneyland Resort. So what is the missing piece keeping these studios from staging their own D23-style event? operates or licenses attractions around the world, including the Warner Bros. Universal runs theme parks, while Warner Bros. Warner Bros., Universal and Paramount also own streaming services competing with Disney+.

Other Big Five studios own more than enough movie and TV franchises to promote during a multi-day, in-person fan event. Heck, the D23 Expo is just Disney’s version of Comic-Con. It’s not like Disney has some exclusive rights to this blueprint. Which makes me wonder - why don’t Disney’s competitors try to do the same?
