Has anyone ever seen this movie or read the book origanally titled "Do Androids Dreams of Electronic Sheep?" Is anyone familiar with the author Phillip K. ****? Quite in the peanut gallery.

****.

What isn't over rated was his mental break down and the trilogy which he wrote during that time...

Man in the High Castle...is quaint. Very reminiscent of the time in which it was published (196?) I think. It must have hit some nerve.

His short stories are superb.

Eh, I guess.

He's a one trick pony.

Yes, the nature of reality is subjective, we get it allready.

His brand of subjectivity embroiled with >insert mental illness here< was way too entertaining though. Come on, he actually thought, according to his exegesis, that a member of Christ's original sect was reawakening or reemerging from torpor like state in his mind.

Other tidbits of insanity from P.K.D.

1) The maleficent force in the universe has been running the show on earth ever since the fall of the Hebrew fortress, Massada.

2) The Eucharist used by Jesus and his followers in the original communion was a hallucinogenic mushroom that grew in the region's deserts.

3) God messed up the universe during its creation. The universe is malfunctioning. This malfunction is manifest as the perception of the existence of time and space, which he refers to as the black iron prison. Jesus was a living healing program initiated by the Creator. This program failed.

Yeah, not so crazy for a child of the sixties :)

Harlan Ellison was ten times the writer during the same time period. I don't think ****'s a bad writer, just ovverratted. He's been cannonised into being Joyce by the SciFi community at this point, when there are better, more deserving witers who are ignored.

PKD's family has made more money on movie rights in the last decade than Micheal Creighton has.

IMO

Anything BUT the Directors Cut is incomplete.


The Original Release misses the entire point of the movie.

Know waht I mean?, nudge nudge wink wink say no more ^~

Obviously you Midwestern boys are deprived of the wonders of Monty Python.



BUT,

The Directors Cut contains evidence at the ending that Harrison Ford's character(Decker??or is that ST:TMP?) was himself a Replican.

I guess before you belitte me some more for my choice of witisisms I'll eloborate:

At the ending the Latino detective lays down an Orogami of a Unicorn..... The Same thing that Ford was dreaming about throughout the movie. Thus revealing the dark truth of Fords character.

there ya go,

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat ^~
