diminutives

[ammaelis.livejournal.com]

i've heard various diminutives of common phrases like:

приветик(и)!

спасибки

нетушки...

etc.

how informal/neutral/inoffensive are these? do you use them a lot? would it be suitable to use one in conversation with someone who is a good acquaintance but not necessarily a close friend?

thanks for all your input

ben.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy some russian movies with english subtitles? I am currently learning russian and I think it would help me. I speak fluently polish so that also helps. I just can't seem to find any movies anywhere? Series or children's stuff can also do...

I need to know the following definitions for a personal project.
Looking them up in dictionary helps, but there is no comparison to a native speaker who knows the colloquialisms.
