Electrick Children [2012] A religious compound in Southern Utah awakens the natural curiosity of an alarmingly sweet and supremely innocent 15-year-old girl (probably 9 or 10 in many ways; follow the signs). Forced marriage, banishment, and fleeing into the arms of outcasts of a completely different sort commence when this girl raises her virginal rock and roll experience to the level of prophecy. Fascinating approach to a difficult subject matter that eventually unravels too much into coincidence and saved-the-bell conventions that belie the metaphysical tone set forth when that vintage cassette player that started it all mono-lifts the girl's run towards true connection amidst deeply buried confusion. 3.5/5 | |

I didn't know Amazon had ordered more scripts for The Cosmopolitans. That's exciting to hear cause I thought they had just passed on it.

I'm very interested in that. I read quite a few pkd novels in the nineties (including that one), & then went through a huge binge about two years ago (including MITHT again), & am still occasionally dipping my toes into a few short story comps. High Castle isn't one of my favourites (those would be Ubik & VALIS, probably), but I've always thought it was really fertile ground for tv or film adaptation. [Edited 1/18/15 7:01am] | |

For whatever it's worth, Crimes & Misdemeanors & Purple Rose are my personal favourites, and the two that I think are the most complete & satisfying of all that I've seen - but put a big asterisk on that, since I'm far from a completist. | |

I have a fairly firm memory of a quote in his Rolling Stone interview back in '87 (or so) where he was dismissive of the critical praise Hannah... received the year before (& of critics in general), & stated that he thought PRoC was a far better film that hadn't received 1/2 the attention. Can't find the quote - hopefully i'm not just making it up. | |

Not my thing and the only time I find it interesting was when Meryl was on screen. [Edited 1/18/15 12:06pm] The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |

I recommend the stage version. It is much better and more dark. There is much more death and comedy in the stage version. And you get a second Princes song in which they are in "Agony" over new ladies who are both a sleep (Snow White & Sleeping beauty). The last lyric in the song is; "Oh, well. Back to my wife." 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |
