Is Philip K Dick the most horribly abused author when it comes to film adaptations?
Discuss referencing why Blade Runner wasn't called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", how Minority Report caught the concept but missed the point and why the makes of Paycheck should be taken out, shot,burnt, and have their ashes spread across the galaxy to prevent them doing it again.
For bonus points discuss why treating the makers of Total Recall in the same way as the makers of Paycheck would be too good for them.
Don't ask me about Screamers the film "based" on the short story Second Variety. The results would not be pretty.
