[STALKER screens Thursday June 15th at 6:45 pm and Saturday June 17th at 8:45 pm at the Cleveland Cinematheque.]
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
Okay,
this is emperor-has-no-clothes time. Where I must throw mud on some
world-cinema masterpiece everyone else reveres. No wonder my rare job
interviews never lead anywhere. All some venal boss or human-resource
harridan has to do is Google my writing, see the evidence, and broadband
their shocked verdict to the world: "CHARLES CASSADY THAT UGLY M*@%!KER
DIDN'T LIKE TARKOVSKY'S STALKER THE F&^!@ING SON OF A WHORE!
NOBODY F%@!*ING HIRE THE BASTARD FOR ANYTHING! THAT'S A F#%*!ING DIRECT
ORDER." And that's just when I apply at the Catholic Diocese.
