Favorite 80's movies?
Read the Dune trilogy (Third book was real hard to get past because it was so dark), but did not read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". Conisdered getting the graphic novel series tho.
The "Do Androids...?" story is dark and depressing, like most everything the guy wrote (I bet his last name would get bleeped, so I'm not using it...LOL), and I like him as a writer. The replicants were pretty nasty, there was a really weird religion, drug use,and lots of stuff that probably made sense if you were a hippie into psychidelic stuff. Not a bad story, just, different. The story "We'll remember it for you wholesale" (also written by PKD -- it was the inspiration for the movie Total Recall) was excellent. I liked the movie a lot too, but it had almost nothing to do with the story.
