Czech pop culture gifs

Just making gifs of whatever I find aesthetically pleasing, with special focus on the rich tradition of campy aesthetics and subversive genre works of Czech cinema, television and to some extent pop music. *** Three side-notes: 1) It' s Czech, not Czechoslovak. Even in the days of Czechoslovakia, every film, book, TV series or song always was either Czech or Slovak. Never both. 2) It's Central Europe, not Eastern Europe. Never was. 3) "Slavic" is adjective usable only for a language branch and absolutely nothing else (like "culture", "country", "person", "mythology" or whatever Russian propaganda tries to tell you). This bizarre tendency to associate our dear Czechia with countries and cultures it has virtually nothing in common with pisses me off like nothing else, so if you are one of many Russian trolls pretending to be Czech or one of those weird panslavic fetishists on tumblr, be ready to get ruthlessly blocked. Others enjoy and feel free to like and reblog whatever you want. :-)
