...see what I mean? lol
Indeed the music was great.
Didn't see Barjo, how was it?
PKD's "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" was made into BLADERUNNER. "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" into TOTAL RECALL. "Second Variety" into SCREAMERS (which I have not seen) People have pointed out that THE TRUMAN SHOW is a total swipe of "Time Out Of Joint" (saw the movie, didn't read the book)
Rumors have floated around for years of an "A Scanner Darkly" project. And I have even heard of plans to do "The Man In The High Castle" (a documentary on contemporary life in the US would come pretty close)
One review I read claimed The Matrix was loosely inspired by Dick's Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Instead of colonists living under the Martian desert you had "human batteries" floating in amniotic fluid; instead of Perky Pat layouts you had a fantasy world of consumer electronics and high-tech cubicles. In both scenarios "the system" keeps you amused while using you up.
BARJO
it was pretty silly - a good one to follow an afternoon viewing of traffic (which was mike's pick although he didn't know what it was about, and, AS PER USUAL, wanted his money back afterwards). who knew there were suburbs in france?
