Hi S-S.
When I saw E.T. at the cinema there were 2 tough-looking little laRAB in front of me, and at one point one said to the other "it's sad, in't it!" and then quickly added "I'm not cryin' though!!"
From Blair Witch -
The video camera.
(Don't fancy the teeth in the rag)
1969
Dustin Hoffman ... 'Ratso' Rizzo
Jon Voight ... Joe Buck
Plot Outline:
A naive male prostitute and his sickly friend struggle to survive on the streets of New York City
Won 3 Oscars.
Sorry, no ingots, not much money, no fast cars unless you count the one that Christopher Walken was driving when he crashed, but it would be a bit of a wreck. There was a police car but I don't know if you'd want that.
No telly by choice?
Now I'd have had you down ThinBoy as an avid DVD buyer/ watcher.
I'd miss ours if it went - broke down/ was stolen.
Not that I watch an awful lot of it, but I do like to watch certain programmes and flop down in front of it a hour or so before bed.
Other films from PKD stories:
Total Recall (what a mess they made of that one! Good story, but Arnie????!!!???? - and to think that David Cronenberg was going to make it but fell out with the producer due to "creative differences" and the project was scrapped
(btw - to any FM out there... Does anyone know anywhere on the internet where it might be possible to get any of Cronenberg's 12 rejected screenplays for that film? I'd LOVE to read one)
Minority Report
Imposter
Screamers (reasonably faithful to the short story)
Paycheck except I didn't like the ending
(all the above based on short stories)
The only films based on his more serious novels were Blade Runner and A Scanner Darkly.
*4 hours later* That one seems to have killed the game!!!
I'd have a centipede on a stick, or the broken Mujahadeen typewriter, or the pillowcase full of empty drugs bottles -
"What's in the pillowcase, Bill?"
"These are the remains of my last writing machine"
(It's one of my very favourite films )
