One of the last things PKD did before his death was get a prescreening of Bladerunner, he was not happy with it. If memory serves it was just 3 or 4 days before he died.
Theme is reduced to a handful of vague allusions in the general direction. Can't see how he would have liked it.
Blade Runner is more influential for its aesthetics than for its story or characters. The story is not memorable. Just the mischling Harrison Ford doing stupid shit for 3 hours (no canonical version/cut btw).
And? Its influence is not what we are talking about.

Sure, but trying to sound smart by going off on irrelevant tangents just makes you sound stupid. Insults don't help either.

I see now that I gave you more credit than you deserved, I apologize for that.

Er, what? "Do Androids Of Electric Sheep" has four major plot lines running through it. "Blade Runner" only has one of them. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
according to Future Noir, he loved the atmosphere but disagreed with Ridley Scott about the nature of the Replicants. For Dick, they're monsters with no empathy.
Otherwise a really positive response.
I don't see how that is a "really positive response," sounds like playing politics. He ranted to his editor or agent or something about it right after he watched it and it was not positive at all, some PKD biography I read goes into it if memory serves, it's been years since I read this stuff. They asked Scott about it and he blamed the studio for cutting out his horse, lol.

Successful does not mean "I love this" and if we use his writing as a guide towards his spoken usage it is essentially damning with a compliment and acknowledging that he would make some good money.

m8, they talk for two pages explaining how much he liked the movie, I posted that line as an example
maybe PKD was lying, maybe it was a schizo episode, but they insist he liked it

And in the biography I read it said otherwise, why should I believe that source? Personally I would not expect a book dedicated to how great the movie is to be all that reliable. And I am not shitting on the movie, I like it although the sequel was shit.
PKD is one of the greatest writers ever. We are basically living in his world. I don't know what Nabokov said about Dick, though. I'd like to imagine he loved Dick.
I find it difficult to believe he ever had anything to say about PKD or even read him.
I can't find anything Nabokov said about P. K. Dick so I can neither say you are right or wrong
an advance draft of VALIS is the last novel nabokov is said to have read, and it killed him
Great job PKD!!

What? I thought he was exceptionally pleased! Guess I'll have to check this out sometime

Where is the contradiction, moron?

You got BTFO. Stop talking, stupid Black person.

Yeah I like PKD but he was best as a visionary, his skills at writing were pretty mediocre
homosexual
that's just you being moronic
what is the equivalent of nabokov x PKD
something like ada or ardor meets flow my tears
Thanks for making another PKD thread so I can say he sucks again. Man, what a stupid shitty writer that schizo was.
