Very nice shot. Such a gorgeous area. I used to go there all the time.

IMO Jeff Vandermeer is an exceptional world-builder but absolute trash at making characters

I LOVE Solaris!! I hope you like it too. Just as beautiful and hypnotic as Stalker.

I am absolutely obsessed with this book and with "Stalker." The concept that humanity is no more consequential to reality than trash at the side of a road will haunt me forever. I love the beautiful nihilism of the book and movie. And the movie has some of the most gorgeous cinematography I've ever seen. It is so slow, so plodding, so deliberate. It's like a 3 hour meditation.
