Personally (and I haven't read the original story here, so maybe I'm actually chastising the author) I think the story should have ended with him killing the man in the hotel room, unable to escape his fate.<BR/><BR/>JW<BR/><BR/>fictiondepartment.blogspot.comJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605215670980773233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1152819416790287012006-07-13T13:36:00.000-06:002006-07-13T13:36:00.000-06:00Art imitating life?Art imitating life?AWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851567643230913961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1152798620313577012006-07-13T07:50:00.000-06:002006-07-13T07:50:00.000-06:00Ugh.

Having not read any of his stories (Like the analytical type eg Asimov) I would be curious what everyone though of past book/stories made into films. I believe Imposter was a Dick story, and I thought the movie was engaging, and unexpected.Peter Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103156220017676316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1152749468230113772006-07-12T18:11:00.000-06:002006-07-12T18:11:00.000-06:00I think that this is the most faithful adaptation ...I think that this is the most faithful adaptation yet... absolutely fantastic movie.<BR/><BR/>JW<BR/><BR/>fictiondepartment.blogspot.comJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605215670980773233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1152730308458338352006-07-12T12:51:00.000-06:002006-07-12T12:51:00.000-06:00Like anomie above I am looking forward to Scanner ...Like anomie above I am looking forward to Scanner in the hope that it will at last give us a faithful rendition of one of Dick's novels.<BR/>None have come close so far as they all tend to turn the main character into some sort of hero whereas Dick's characters are bewildered and have no control over what is going on around them - in many of his novels the main character is not even sure about the solidity of his reality.Garthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637097897454660933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1152704046275404582006-07-12T05:34:00.000-06:002006-07-12T05:34:00.000-06:00I have not found Ms. Gross all that competent or o...I have not found Ms. Gross all that competent or objective of an interviewer ever since she sabotaged Bill O'Reilly.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614900870086438500noreply@blogger.com
