Well, Speilberg thinks he's seen the future. I saw Minority Report today -- which was pretty good -- and can report that the future is a platform game with flat screen TVs on every wall.

I dunno... Dick saw the bits that made the film interesting for me. The predestination, the vague psycho-babble about choice and the insertion of spiritual / religious motifs here and there. The more, er, flashy bits are pure Speilberg and a little distracting if anything. I did like the UI for their computers though, very swish.

I didn't mean to diss Dick at all. I actually have
(.../me runs in other room to count ... )
28 Dick titles on my shelves right now. I enjoy even
the *bad* Dick-based movies because I can pick them
apart and think about which bits were Dick and which
bits were the director and which bits were "this will
help the movie sell better" hollywood decoration.
I've been looking forward to A Scanner Darkly, but
it seems that either the project never got started,
or it died:

It's one of my favorite tales. I spent a summer basically
tripping, bumming around a coffee shop, and reading PKD.
One can achieve quite entertaining levels of paranoia
through such activities;)
