As part of the Amazon pilot thing.....based on the PKD book. Love the book and this is pretty good.

WHAT? They had filmed it? Can it ever live up to the book? Where can I find it?
Are you morbid?

WAIT...WHAT??


I love PKD, though I feel that no one has really ever done a very accurate job transcribing his books into movie form.  The recent Radio Free Albemuth isn't too shabby, though why didn't they just do Valis??


How true to the book is this?
The fact that I kept setting my own boats on fire was considered charming.

Will be very interested to see it, will I have to pay?

With regards to other Dick films, I actually really enjoyed A Scanner Darkly, despite disliking Keanu Reeves generally.

Oh, that's true.  I kinda forgot about that one.  And I OWN it....whoops.

Weird thread, because I'm High in the Castle, Man.
Rock & Roll is background music for teenagers to fuck to.

Silly ::)


It's all true.


I also like science fiction authors with non-phallic names, like William Gibson and Ursual K LeGuin.  Someone needs to make a movie of The Dispossessed.  I read that book once a year I love it so much.  The Left Hand Of Darkness would also make a fine movie.


Someone should make an Elric movie too.  I think that would translate well to the big screen.

Good news.
I wonder if they will release all the episodes at once.
I have joined Binge Watching Nation and don't want to have to wait nor do I want to have time to actually get something accomplished around the house.

Pretty sure Amazon releases series all at once like Netflix does.

MadJohnShaft

Yep.

Nice, I should reread the book

Looking forward to living in squalor and consuming nothing but junk and booze and drugs while binge-ing later this month on House of Cards new season.

just seen this last nite.  anybody else notice a certain lack of passion in the acting?  still, Jackie Aprile!

It wasn't so much a lack of passion,they are all skeered of the motherfucking Nazis, man.
Gotta stay low key.

they was askeert of the Nazis in Schindler's List too, but seemed a li'l less robotic in that one

Probably because they had Spielberg hollering and guilting them.

Have to agree there was something lacking. Was excited, watched it, and was glad I had the book to remember. Still, better than a poke in the eye.
