Jaime Foxx sold his soul for one movie to make 100 horrible pieces of shit


Can't Hardly Wait (To See):
300

Actually Phillip K Dick didnt write total recall, it was adapted from a short story called "We Can Remember it for you Wholesale" But there was a team of writers that worked on it. Also Blade Runner was adapted from a novelette by Dick called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", in which the main character actually finds out that he himself may be an android without his knowledge. Ive read the original and trust me it only loosely resembles Blade Runner.

A Scanner Darkly is a direct translation of the book and other than some omissions is identical to the book minus a few chapters.

I only bring this up because Im the biggest PK Dick fan in MN.
