Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?/Blade Runner

[dstrus]

Excellent (if short) novel, and IMO one of the best pieces of cinematic Sci-Fi ever made.

Argh, you can't hype movies like that when I haven't seen 'em. ;-)

Watched this again recently. It is a beautiful top-notch piece anyway you look at it. I have some gripes with it, but overall a great movie, and a decent short story, and definitely an influence on sci-fi for decades to come.

It's also the movie that put Philip K. Dick on filmmaker radars, which I am very grateful for.

Do you two both find this influential enough to add, then? (It sounds like 'yes', but I want to double-check.) Do you guys think we should add this as a movie/book combo on one line?

[dstrus]

It's the movie that's been so doggone influential on me, but I like the book quite a bit. I am fine with combining them.
