I ...hahah-- I'm only an occasional amnesiac! <br /><br />I remember because of the circumstances-- Jim and I met in the winter of 85 at a health club doing jane fonda workouts-- so very 80s. Anyway, he would lure me away from exercise with outings to eat eggrolls or watch movies. There was a theatre that showed new movies and also cult films-- guess Bladerunner already had a cult following in 85. I vividly remember sitting in the theatre but not much of the story-- that is kinda odd, I guess.Lesahttp://baja-greenawalts-cozybooknook.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-43945615693850013352010-11-03T23:18:02.798-05:002010-11-03T23:18:02.798-05:00How the heck do you remember that you saw it in 19...How the heck do you remember that you saw it in 1985? :) You'll have to let me know what you think of the book. And I will have to re-watch the movie while the book is still fresh in my mind. I'm sure this will do more towards highlighting differences rather than similarities, but I'm curious anyway.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-45639097809488349972010-11-01T12:18:14.868-05:002010-11-01T12:18:14.868-05:00I saw the movie in 85 and liked it but don't r...I saw the movie in 85 and liked it but don't remember much about it other than the android turning flips. I'm a sci-fi person so I will plan to read this. that is very interesting how the author came up with the idea-- I know I've wondered similar things before about sociopaths ect.Lesahttp://baja-greenawalts-cozybooknook.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-45165788490120669242010-10-31T20:23:34.224-05:002010-10-31T20:23:34.224-05:00My favorite part was Harrison Ford. ;)My favorite part was Harrison Ford. ;)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-69565437717136320472010-10-30T13:25:07.404-05:002010-10-30T13:25:07.404-05:00Thats a really good review Kathy :o)
I am a HUGE ...Thats a really good review Kathy :o)<br /><br />I am a HUGE fan of Blade Runner, it's one of my favourite films.<br /><br />Personally I didn't enjoy the book anywhere near as much as the film. I found the book lacks the dark brooding atmosphere and the character development of the film. Ridley Scott did make significant changes to the story but I feel it was one of those rare occasions where it was the right thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-35433204031319595292010-10-25T22:37:57.637-05:002010-10-25T22:37:57.637-05:00Lydia--did you read the book and watch the movie? ...Lydia--did you read the book and watch the movie?

To be honest, the title was part of the reason as to why I read it - sounded fantastic! <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it as well - have you read much else of Philip K Dick? I have two of his books on my shelf at the moment, and am looking forward to those.anothercookiecrumbleshttp://www.anothercookiecrumbles.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-10673277137937679002010-10-25T08:34:41.344-05:002010-10-25T08:34:41.344-05:00I loved Fight Club!!

I was told that there is nothing in the book that isn't in the movie, which is kind of unusual since normally if you read a book after seeing its movie adaptation you come across all kinds of interesting little tidbits. I've had Fight Club on my TBR for a while, but now that there are two of you telling me it's a disappointment, I'm starting to doubt the need to keep it there.<br /><br />Do you have any particular Dick in mind for your TBR?

I didn't like the movie (which I saw after reading it) ... but movies are never as good. (Excpet Fight Club, the movie was better. ONLY EXCEPTION). <br /><br />I am glad you liked it :) The only other Phillip K. Dick book I have read was "Flow, my tears, the policeman said".. it was good but not great. I plan on reading more Dick though. it's on the TBR list. <br /><br />Great review!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019246507725693841noreply@blogger.com
