      Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - most of his books and stories are not that great - hard to read and a bit silly but the underlying themes are what sets him apart.

            Yeah, wondered if he had got the name of the book wrong. Bit of a dull film though.

                  Just down the road towards potters bar isnt it? I used to live off London road st albans, round the corner from the Odeon when i was at hatfield uni doing engineering. The cinema was an evening job, it was a good laugh actually, still chat to some of the people I met there. And watched a lot of films, many many times, out of india, water, terminator etc. We used to rent rooms with a farmer on lord brockets land up in welwyn, that was nuts. But a good laugh, tractor racing through the woods! A lot of fun.

                      Ha! The farm is now Brockets golf academy! [^] I wonder if they emptied the drawers of the used plates! LOL! Just up from the farm near the river they filmed part of Willow. I met the main actor, and they filmed a soup commercial there too. Also Highlander. I used to go to the farm through the main drive of the estate, and one day I saw an 18th century carriage and loads of people milling about. They had put mud on the road to make it look authentic. Til I drove through it in my Triumph Herald and left two bloody great big tyre tracks through it! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

                        Maybe they had a bunch of actors lying around with no work? Why not make another remake, of a remake, of a remake, of a remake?

                        I was ok with it until I saw Michelle Yeoh get beat easily by a Klingon. Not an army of Klingons. Not a small band of Klingons. ONE FREAKING Klingon! Michelle Yeoh??? I don't think so!

                          I was looking very forward to watching it... But instead, I have Oprah and 60-freaking-Minutes taped. The epitome of "who cares"!

                          Yeah my tivo doesn't know what to do when 60 minutes does not end on time. Wow, haven't watched that show in 30 years.

                            You've watched it more recently than I have. That ticking watch bumper they use gives me nightmares about the fleeting nature of mortality.
