I'll watch it for that!
I kept waiting for Scott to say "Oh Boy" through all of Enterprise

Pretty freaky stuff, even for 1970s Soviet sci-fi. I'm really not sure what happened.

Although I enjoyed the movie very much I found everyone's nearly perfect use of the English language (no contractions whatsoever, and vocabulary beyond a character's intellect) to be slightly annoying.

Watch some of those Civil War documentaries where they read the letters the soldiers wrote home. The poetry of the language in the 1800's is amazing.

I've been wanting to get a copy of that movie - I nearly pulled the trigger on ordering one from Amazon last weekend.
It's what inspired the guys who made the STALKER games.
(it's written by the same guy who wrote Solaris)

Andrei Tarkovsky directed both Stalker and Solaris. The screenplay for Stalker was written by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky and based on a novel they wrote. Tarkovsky co-wrote the screenplay for Solaris, which was based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem.
Whatever, both are OK movies. Stalker is quite good until the last couple of scenes, which are not tied in with the rest of the film as well as they could be. Without knowing what was left on the cutting room floor it is hard to say how much of this is due to editing and how to writing. Perhaps a "director's cut" would help tie in these "artsy" last two scenes a bit better? Tarkovsky's Solaris certainly makes more sense than Clooney's remake.
Of the Tarkovsky films I've seen I like Andrei Rublev best though, mostly because the title character is one of my favourite artists.
