    You got me all excited when you mentioned beaver.

    I live right next to it ...

    Nice place, kinda smells though. I think it's all the hog farms.

    Is that the same guy who plays on the TV show "Supernatural"?  It's been ages since I've seen "Deadwood".

    Hi,
     
    Blade Runner was based on his story. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep".
     
    I don't find it depressing at all ... I find the dehumanization and the corporate control a lot worse and still fight it ... but saying that here is a dead end, sometimes! Too many replicants canoodling each other about their hair.
     
    ... that owl ... is that real? ... of course it is! ... mind if I ask you a question? ... everything I have seen, felt, done ... all .. gone ... tears in the rain. Time to die! ... and then Vangelis to bring it home!
     
    Best movie ever made in my book! The book is good, but the movie brings it all home even better than Phillip ever envisioned.
     
    The one movie they will never make, of course ... is the one about grok'ing ... with all its sexy stuff, it would be considered a porn, and doing it half-baked would take the depth out of the story ... ohh well, so much for those johnsons!

    Here are the ones I know and the books/short stories they were based on.  


    Blade Runner/Do androids dream of electric sheep
    Screamers/second variety
    Minority Report/minority report
    Paycheck/paycheck
    A Scanner Darkly/a scanner darkly
    The Adjustment Bureau/The adjustment team
    Total Recall/We can get it for you wholesale
    Next/Golden man
