I watched Stalker today, a 1979 Russian film. Don’t know what you’re in the mood for right now, but it’s a slow moving, sci-fi, philosophical movie that was better than expected. You can watch the whole thing for free if you don’t mind it being on YouTube.

Ok first of all, yass, I love sci-fi Russian films… of the Soviet era… a whole nother world… also is this what they based the game after? S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
I’m unsure about the game inspiration, but the movie was terrific. I love several older Russian storytellers (Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky primarily), but I never thought to give their movies a try. I stumbled upon this one and now want to check out more. It was quite good. This movie was based on a book, Roadside Picnic, by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. This has opened a whole new world for me.
