Colonial Nostalgia
May. 23rd, 2004 01:36 amI am working up to a long post.
In the meantime, I have some thoughts.
1. Colonial Williamsburg should be merged with Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I realize that it would pose a challenge practically, but irony trumps geography.
2. This just might become my New Exciting Obsession.
3. Tarkovsky's art flick Stalker was adapted from a novel by the Soviet sci-fi dynamic duo, Brothers Strugatsky. The novel was called Picnic by the Roadside and took place in and around the Zone, which was off-limits and unpopulated, but access could be gained by employing stalkers, who, like borderlands coyotes knew the ins, the outs, and the dangerous pockets, if not the origin or purpose of the Zone. The Zone, invented by the writers and depicted by Tarkovsky in bursts of chromatic shifts, retrospectively reads like a foreshadowing for the Exclusion Zone of Chernobyl that spans miles and has its own stalker, equipped with a motorbike and a camera.
4. High Five!
