Yeah, I’m really looking forward to this movie. I about shat myself when I saw teaser trailers at the theaters. I really enjoyed the book and have pretty high expectations for the film.

Hmm. See, I like when they turn Philip K. Dick stories/books into movies (Blade Runner, Minority Report), but I read “The Man in the High Castle” and just HATED it (mostly because the ending made no damn sense).
Overall, I thought Minority Report (a Spielberg/Cruise teaming) was very good.

The Man in the High Castle was pretty lucid. In the last decade of his life Dick’s hallicinations reached the point that he came to believe in a Vast Active Living Intelligence System (VALIS) that would send him thoughts from orbit around the planet. I liked his earlier shizophrenic hallucinations but he lost me at that point.
Read “Maze of Death” The ending is just depressing.
