seriously though.. you are treadiing on holy ground with that movie. We didn't study the book in college.. we did the movie and that is saying something as to what it said on a very deep level... but I suppose I can understand. You love Dick .. I love Martin.  I had the same reaction to the G.O.T TV series (OVERRATED CRAP!!!) which I was militantly ANTI for completely f**king up the depth,complexity, and very valid socio-political points, to say nothing of the characters themselvles, that Martin's books were making and still creating.

we do love our violence and I know I wasn't the only kid that decided to pull a Brion James and think it was a cool thing to do to muttter 'time to die' to the pencil necked geek Rush fan in your class and intentionally miss his face with your first but hoping to impress the cute blond whose sweater was just filling out and having her see your hand through the trash container.. hell yeah... was too much to hope that steam would suddenly errupt forth..


ahhh.. being a kid once ruled...  thanks Hollywood

overrated..  my f**king ass LOL

I did say I liked the end. but the rest of the movie is by far not that good, especially the usual action schlock that just had to be in there for American audiences

I personally think "Blade Runner" is overrated because it did not really capture the spirit of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", but that scene in the end with him is great. R.I.P.

by the way: I'd like to see a director tackle "Ubik" or "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch"

RIP Rutger Hauer. :( 

Likeable a lot but often deadly on screen, playing the villain. Will miss him

^ yup, me too.  if the music wasn't enough (which it was), the dancing and costumes were part of the whole experience.  To me the Juluka albums and the first Savuka album are all classics, with all his other albums having much to recommend them

Really sad about Johnny Clegg.  Great musician, activist, and loved Juluka and Savuka.  Still have my vinyls of those.

Johnny Clegg, a pioneering South AFrican musician and leader of an interracial group Juluka in the pre apartheid era, has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at 66.  Truly a musical hero.

RiP Dr John, a legend

hes first three albums are quite epic and psuæychadelic. And delightfully funky and that delta blues feel is so good.
