Logan's Run starts well, but starts to drag.

THX-1138 (similar plot, dunno offhand which was first) is out in a new DVD version.

Minority Report, another adaptation of PK Dick, isn't bad, but isn't Dick.

Philip Dick would be hard to adapt, I think.

But what I want to know is why did they take a title from a medical SF novel and use it instead of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

And I wonder how many people even remember there was another book "Bladerunner," about a time when senior citizens would be denied medical care and how an underground black market for medical supplies had developed, and the people who carried them were called "Bladerunners," the blade referring to scapels.

I forgot who wrote it, though.
