Scott Dolan

Exactly. Although Ridley kept that kind of thing to a minimum, every replicant that Deckard killed in the movie died only at the end of some convoluted chase. I thought it really cheapened it a bit and made it seem hokey. The most chilling part about DADOES is how the replicants are killed. There's never any wild chase, not even many struggles or fights. Just *blam*, dead. I mean, the way he describes them killing the singer in the elevator, man, that gave me goosebumps because of how quickly and coldly he described it. Really excellent stuff!

I have PKD's UBIK sceeenplay, which is awesome. As time regressed in the movie, he wanted to have it filmed on progressively older film stock. So the part in Des Moines would be that old black&white and slightly speeded-up style. that would have been pretty sweet.

Excellent topic. Personally I'd like to see Ridley Scott go back and do the entire story of Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? I really dug Bladerunner, but the full story would have made for such an eerie and disturbing movie. Has anyone seen the preview for A Scanner Darkly yet? Can't really tell if it's going to be any good, but it's going to have an interesting look. It's on the Apple Quicktime Movie Trailors site. I also think that ANY PKD books done correctly would make great movies. I think Lies Inc. would make for one hell of a movie. Maybe The Penultimate Truth..............

Steve, Sounds awesome. Always dug AALY, and this is not the first time I have heard this album mentioned. Sounds like it's right up my alley.
