because that is his best book. HIS BEST FUCKING BOOK! I wish they would make films of all of his books, but Tom Cruise should be cut up in the bollock region and they should remake The Minority Report. Tom Cruise, and Steven Spielberg are cunts!

at the beginning there's a black chauffer car with the registration "PK DICK" which leaves me wondering if the film was inspired by a Philip K Dick story

I'm making my way through A Scanner Darkly now.
Gone through Ubik, Flow my tears the policeman said and The Man in the High Castle so far this year. I'm a right Dick.

You have to read his short stories, his best ideas were all in there, but also read The Zap Gun. It's my fave. I don't know why, it's a bit shit, but I love it :D

But Scanner Darkly is still my favourite (mostly because I read it when I was at uni and my bedroom faced opposite a Heroin den - Trufact)

It started when I tried out Ubik and I really fell in love with the characters. He does really write well on a personal level as well as juggling along cerebral concepts. Flow My Tears I thought was a bit jarring at times but it seemed so good in other places that I thought it should be ripe for some sort of cinematic adaptation.

Was definitely interested in getting VALIS after hearing that. But it's not the plot that bothers me per se. I mean the distance the protagonist travels is a little iffy, it's just the way the twist is delivered seems a little quick. However, the ending, (which I had no idea eventually carried more weight with him than I) was really quite beautiful.
