I really hope this doesn't suck. The thing about Philip K. Dick's writing is that it's smart. He asks big and interesting questions and presents them in exciting but though-provoking scenarios. Most adaptations of his work have been straight-up action flicks, which are usually terrible. The Schwarzenegger version was actually one of the better ones, but the big questions are overshadowed by the fact that it's an Arnold movie, with all that entails.

The gold standard is still Blade Runner, and that's the stick by which I'll be measuring this film.

Like I said, I hope it doesn't suck.

Honestly, it's more "Total Recall" than "The Matrix".


True, written by Philip K. Dick 19 years earlier.

Does anyone else think Dinklage has the the same voice as Philip Seymour Hoffman? It's uncanny. Kind of like how Ethan Hawke sounds exactly like Tom Cruise.

Yeah the title is very Philip k dick too..>> ^Kreegath:

I await lots of weird, rude comments about religion.

At least take a lesson from Philip Pullman first.

No. Bill Philips is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Tom Cech is a nice guy. I can name dozens of super famous scientists that I have met that were very nice. Warren Buffet is very nice, according to an acquaintance.

Assholes are not great because they are assholes. Some assholes are great because they happen to be intensely curious and they have a clear vision of how they can change the world.

Based on my experience, it is not a requisite for making a difference in the world.

It is funny. My advisor and I had this discussion after he read the Steve Jobs biography. My wife thinks Steve Jobs was great because he was an asshole. I disagree.

(I really do like Philip Glass, and this performance)

Is that Philip Moriarty from Sixty Symbols?

I'll give you a hint... IBM is based in the U.S. but Philips isn't.

I certainly don't miss installing programs from a pile of floppy disks.

Or discs.

Not a fan of "disks"?

Are there such things as compact disks (CDs), digital video disks (DVDs), etc.?

Not sure why, but all the magnetic storage media, floppy or hard, have been called "disks", while optical media got "discs". The basic physical difference I see is that magnetic disks are usually encased in something rectangular. There's probably a historical fun fact on this somewhere.
