I went to the family site and discovered that there is one son also. So let me correct myself before someone else does. (smile) http://www.philipkdick.com/aa_intro.html
While "Total Recall" was a fun movie, it had little to do with the original story. Over on the website, they list "Imposter" and "Screamers" There is "Next" and "Paycheck". Most of these are forgettable, although I recall disliking "Paycheck". Actually, I think "A Scanner Darkly" was the best adaptation. It's probably difficult to adapt his stories. "Minority Report" did a great job in updating the technology and the technology in Dick's stories IS dated. But then, they screwed with underlying theme of the story. Mainstream movies just insist on a happy ending. Speaking of which, I watched the director's cut of "The Butterfly Effect" this weekend. I can see why they didn't get away with that ending. I am glad that they pulled some integrity with the released ending. There were two other sappy endings (their words) that they also rejected but show on the DVD. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > similar to the tolkien family, eh?
