Fancy Movie Time #6: Stalker
Added 2023-04-22 19:00:05 +0000 UTCOn this month's Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads take the highway to the Zone as they plunge into the existentially terrifying world of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. Is this sci-fi benchmark a Fancy Feast worthy of our innermost desires? Or is it a failure to fancy that should be cast into the Meat Grinder?

just been thinking about it a lot cuz I've been replaying the games and I think folks would appreciate that the quotes about happiness from the movie get messaged to the protagonist by Monolith, the dudes who live in the middle of the zone and worship the monolith and want to bring about the human instrumentality project

2023-04-22 23:30:09 +0000 UTCby now i've heard Brian abhor a sentence he is saying as he says it plenty of times but i don't think I've ever heard it as intense as "of course you've seen a significant portion of the end of that movie because it is featured in jonathan blow's video game the witness"
Elah
