Solaris

[threeplusfire]

I just saw a preview for this remake of Solaris billing it as "the greatest love story." This is not a love story! If I get my hands on Cameron and Soderbergh, I will make them wish their mothers and fathers had never so much as kissed! What were they thinking, putting George Clooney in there?

The real Solaris was directed by Andrei Tarkovsky and released in 1972. It's one of the creepiest, strangest sci-fi movies ever, and based on a novel by Polish author Stanislaw Lem. I love this movie. I think it is brilliant.

Hmm. What the hell.

Do you know where I might find a copy of Cyberiad in Polish or Russian? A member of the book club is looking for this, as much to check the Electronic Bard's haircut poem as anything. He has exhausted all options he knows, and some of us are looking around a bit.

Hmm. Not off the top of my head. You're probably going to have to get a copy sent from somewhere in Poland or Russia, maybe the Czech Republic or the Ukraine. Unless you can find a bookstore in a larger city like Chicago or New York that's got some sci-fi reprints. That might be your best shot.
