Having seen A Waking Life, I would like to see another Linklater movie in the same "style". I will probably wait a while to see it, though.

My dad mentioned this movie the other day, but he couldn't remember what it was called. He just said there was a movie coming out that was based on a story by the same author that wrote the book Blade Runner was based on. I'd like to see it, and I'd like to read the book, too. There's no saying how soon either one will happpen though.

Philip K. d**k wrote "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" which was adapted for the motion picture, "Blade Runner." Amazing Author and Hugo Award winner for the novel "The Man in the High Castle" in 1963.When it does happen...you will be blown away!

Richard Linklater is awesome. Dazed and Confused is my favorite movie.

Oh, I knew the author's and book's names, I was just saying that my dad put it to me that way. A few years ago I got about halfway through another Philip K. d**k book about a world where everything runs backwards, and peope come to life in their graves and have to be dug up and people spew food back into containers instead of eating. The name escapes me, as does the reason I didn't finish the book.

It was so highly anticipated, but didn't even show in the theaters where I live! sad I will watch out for the DVD though; the visuals alone draw me to it. eek
