KISS SUCKS

Blade Runner is one of the best movies from the 1980s and among the best scifi movies of all time. Shot beautifully, scripted perfectly. I really love the Harrison ford roof scene. I am pretty excited for the sequel. I've read some of Phillip K. Dick's books, but sadly I've never read do androids dream of electric sheep. For Christmas in 2015, someone gave me a hardcover library of America Phillip K Dick box set with his novels. I haven't read through all of them, but they contain some excellent scifi and theology. One of the best gifts I've ever gotten honestly.

The theology is honestly top tier. His short stories while he was a starving artist were just amusing baubles and mind fucks but he practically broke a dimension or two when he became clinically insane.

He had some kind of amphetamine induced hallucination and he encountered what he called VALIS. He never came to terms with what he saw, but he believed in a Gnostic world where ordinary life was a hidden text to access the spiritual realm. Most of his scifi explores this to some degree or another. That's cool that you are into PKD. I love his stuff too man. What is your favorite book by him?

[TheReal_ND]

Probably The Transmigration of Timothy Archer if I wanted to signal as a hipster. In reality Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and A Scanner Darkly are top tier though. If you want them pink lasers beamed into your dome though you really have to talk to the satellite known as V.A.L.I.S. It's a free contact high

Have you read UBIK? Its pretty weird. I don't think I fully understood the transmigration tbh. It was compelling, but dick's stories are always personal and I would be lying if I said that I was an expert on him or what he was referencing in his stuff. Scanner is pretty cool too. He said in an interview that it was his most personal book and he used to break down and cry when he was writing it. A lot of the characters in that one are based on speed freaks he knew who destroyed themselves. It was so personal that he nearly decided against publishing it. The movie was pretty good also. The color filters in the movie are kind of gimmicky, but they made it work.

Have you read UBIK

I did not! I think that's the one in the series I didn't get. And yeah Transmigration was really weird and I don't get it, I just remember a vague feeling of maximum comfy when I read it. The movie of Scanner was good I used to have it. Fairly faithful to the book unlike Running Man, Total Recall and Blade runner. Though, the first two I listed were originally short stories so I'm not mad at all. I refuse to watch Amazon's MHC series though. Mostly because I won't pay for it and partly because principles. I heard it's great though. Also, I was just in the book store last weekend and saw a new hardcover PKD edited by a Christian lady and someone else I didn't look up. I think it's one of those post mortem Tolkien books where they gather, collate and annote recovered drafts.

One of the greatest scenes of all time:




Batty had to die to prove how beautiful he was.

Yeah thats the scene I'm talking about! Amazing. The rain, the dove he lets go. The edward James olmos "You've done a man's job sir!" Something I noticed was that when Rutger lets the dove go, the sky appears more sunny than when he was fighting Ford in the building. Its still raining, but it is noticeably brighter. I don't know what that means, but there is a bunch of little stuff like that that sticks out after multiple viewings. I really like that scene where he shoots that running android girl in the back, and she shatters through that neon department store glass in slow motion. Ridley Scott can make scifi like nobody's business. I like Bladerunner more than Alien.
