WHAT😱 "A few years later, when it turned out that most of the members of the crew had passed away, rumors appeared that it was because the area around the place of filming had been poisoned. Some say it might have been radiation, but I don’t know any specific facts about it."

Working on Tarkovsky’s crew was probably like living in an uncharted level of hell. Precise visions on this level seem to be unattainable unless you push everyone around you to the brink of their sanity.

[Vivian Wong @viverswong]

Tarkovsky was probably willing to torture his crew to the point of near death. I can psychically feel it through every frame. Should I find out about the behind the scenes ... ?

[Vivian Wong @viverswong]

So I plowing through Andrei Tarkovsky’s entire filmography in a week. I’m here, but I’m not really “here”.

@runningdog I’ve seen a couple episodes, didn’t really enjoy them. Its too scripted even for reality tv

[Vivian Wong @viverswong]

I started “Mysteries of the Abandoned” (Discovery channel) thinking I can space out on some drosscape porn. But it’s sensationalized reality television disguised as archaeology of the abandoned, which I didn’t think was possible for landscape/architecture.

*pop culture theory

[Vivian Wong @viverswong]

It’s part horror part seedy history, w/ an undercurrent of pop cultural theories like stone tape theory, law of contagion & parapsychology.

@hoagiedojo I'll probably cave and get it at some point

[Vivian Wong @viverswong]

@hoagiedojo Did you get the Wong Kar Wai criterion box set?!

[Vivian Wong @viverswong]

Been purging my timeline of outdated RT’s and random brain fart tweets. Feels good 😊

@gatocarpintero @CuriosityStream I've been trying to figure out the name of this movie for ages!!!!! I saw snippets of the movie on TV years ago, but couldn't find the name. Thank you!!

I found #FirstMan on @CuriosityStream to be an affective & moving experience. I chose to watch the film more as speculative anthropology rather than science or history. For me, it became a deep meditation on the boundaries of human nature, #deeptime & origin points #studio #diary

moments that seemed like nothing at first but eventually accumulated to revolutionize our entire species millions of years later. // I am going to do a Curiosity Stream binge soon.

[Vivian Wong @viverswong]

FIRST MAN is such an odd science docudrama. I mean that in the best way. The production budget was not huge, which became apparent in the prosthetics at certain angles & the acting in demanding moments. But portraying 4 different species of early humans across 25 mil years is ...

A sudden spark that rewired our brain to use tools; the first time an early human killed w/ premeditation; the moment when one of our ancestors figured out that language could produce an emotional effect & became a storyteller. The doc focuses on these evolutionary transition ...
