“SOLARIS” CULTISTS STORM CENTRAL SQUARE — by Steve Nadis
Yesterday a sick child sent me to CVS in Central Square, where I purchased a digital thermometer. I locked my bike next to the T (subway) elevator where a few weeks earlier I’d spotted a VHS copy of “Solaris” (the original, not the tepid remake) that continued to lie there, apparently untouched, for days. This time the video was nowhere to be seen, which makes me think my blog posting–which was later excerpted in the Boston Globe–brought “Solaris” cultists from all over New England to lowly Central Square in hopes of scoring a free copy. Only one lucky person walked away with the coveted videotape, while many others, I’m sure, were left to dream about what might have been…

You pompous, egotistical, shmuck! SNAKE, the likely final demise of this tape- near that elevator- is that either a poorly paid municipal domestic servant (likely) FINALLY scoffed it up & disposed of the trash… or more likely, a young male teen, realizing the holiday potential to “drape” a nearby, highly-visible landmark w/ black plastic streamers, scoffed up the ’said’ tape-carcass, cracked it open & had a toss-about party. I’d keep my eyes peeled if I were you!
“…while many others…were left to dream…” HA!! As if.
That’s one view, I suppose, though I had no idea you were such a cynic.
A more realistic view than a trek to Central Square by some fan of the movie, I assure you. Another more likely scenario is some kid just chucked it into the bushes.
Cynical? A bit. Mostly just flabbergasted @ your theories.
Anyone ELSE care to give their opinion?… about this coveted copy of Solaris, that is.
