Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The point of the book was questioning what defines human v. non-human, but I think the point was emphasized and made more poignant by Deckard being human but still unable to answer the question.
I think you're right on the point, but I think it was better served in the story with the ambiguity over whether Deckard was human or not. I mean, I don't think he was meant to be definitely one or the other. But I'll grant you that it's been a long while since I read it.
Maybe Russell Crowe's first American movie, in which he played a psychotic escapee video game.
VIRTUOSITY!
Which he followed up with THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.
VIRTUOISTY is one those movies I really like that I can't justify as remotely good. Denzel did a few of those (RICOCHET comes to mind). But who doesn't love Denzel.
Denzel was in Virtuosity ! I'm with you Frank it's not a good movie but I like it.
I guess this means I'll have to reread DADoES again, because the last time, I got a very ambigous feeling about Deckard's replicant status.
Not that I'll object to having to reread one of Dick's best stories.
I saw Blade Runner in the theatre and read DADoES not long after that. It didn't occur to me that Dekkard might be a replicant until I read that theory on the internet years later.

OK, the n00b comment was maybe not so accurate. But I can still totally see Scott never indicating to Ford that Deckard is a replicant.
The actor who plays the police sergeant, the "We need you. We need the old blade runner magic" guy? I'm betting Scott told him. Or at least told him he was scared of Deckard for some reason.
Heh. I'd forgotten that Eddie Olmos was in that movie!
I just got the one sheet for 10,000 BC and was disappointed to find not a single fur bikini. For some reason my remake-addled brain must have been thinking of 1,000,000 years BC.
Since 10,000 B.C. is when Conan and Red Sonja are set, does that mean there will be chainmail bikinis?
