Now it may be the fact that I've had a few bottles of Tuborg (which I only bought because of their hilarious tagline 'liquid soundtrack) , but doesn't Total Recall still look amazing? It's on Sci-Fi right now, and it looks fucking incredible.
We're at the 'Two weeks' part, where the passport checker guy takes his job way too seriously.
What a fucking film.

It is a classic film there's no doubt about it. I first watched it when I was at high school even though I shouldn't of considering that Sharon Stone gives Arnie 'something to dream about' at the beggining and when he gets to Mars he encounters a woman with three breasts!

If only it had been the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon 6!

She might have been for all we know. Maybe she just decided to take a vacation on Mars.

Has anyone read the book? I was thinking of picking it up after reading Phillip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? the book behind Bladerunner, which are pretty different. No doubt Total Recall is the same.

I read the original story aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago. I thought it was a bit bland. By PK Dick standards.

No doubt Total Recall is the same. "We can remember it for you wholesale" is very different from the film it spawned. It is much shorter for one thing - a short story that only really bears any relation to the opening twenty minutes or so of the film. After that they diverge quite a lot. It isn't terrible, but it is far from PKD's strongest work. Interesting in terms of the development of PKD's ideas about levels of reality, memory and perception of self and the universe but not hugely rewarding as a story. That said, I do quite like it and as a short story it doesn't outstay its welcome too much. Not up to the quality of things like "Second Variety" in terms of PKD's short stories though. Karl |
