	The Dick Factor: Philip K. Dick's Hollywood
		During his 1928-82 life span, Dick was a prolific author, with over forty science-fiction novels, several "mainstream" novels, countless stories, and a personal memoir to his credit.
		The film focuses on Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) whose job is to hunt down and "retire" escaped replicants who have come to earth to "meet their maker" and extend their programmed life-span of four years.
		While all these films have merit, and begin to explore Dick's ideas, there is a sense that the true PKD film is yet to be made: a film that leaves you grasping for the slightest sense that anything is surely real, that truly undermines the foundation of your being the way Dick's best work does.

	Film/Classic: Dick Tracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It is a rare instance of a film standing on its own as a work of art apart from its story or characters.
		The visual effect is almost like watching a old, flickering silent film in which the eroding film stock gives a grainy effect that seems often to emit too much light.
		To a great extent, "Dick Tracy" is more of a love story than a gangster thrillah and it is hard to believe that Madonna loses out to Headley but that is consistent with the film's innocence/purity.

	Amazon.com: movie info: Fun with Dick and Jane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Dick's wife Jane (Leoni) has quit her job as a travel agent, so the corporate bombshell leaves them penniless and desperate, resorting to petty thievery and, eventually, plotting high-stakes revenge against the greedy executives who ruined their lives.
		Dick has a great job, so great that he gets promoted, allowing Jane to leave her job to be with their little boy at home.
		Unfortunately, it turns out Dick was promoted to be a scapegoat for the corporation, and Dick is thrown on TV to explain to the world why the CEO (played by Alac Baldwin) has just cashed in on all the stock he owned, and why the company has gone bankrupt.

	The Filming of Philip K. Dick By Alexander Star
		Dick was impressed: Though he had hoped to see Victoria Principal play the leading female role, he was nonetheless quite pleased by the film's night-soaked atmosphere and paranoid style.
		This is a shame, because Dick's novels are remarkable not only for their head-spinning reality games and sci-fi melodrama; they are also marked by the modesty and fragility of their protagonists and by the mordant humor with which those protagonists make sense of their bewildering lives.
		Dick's novel, which was set in the outer reaches of Marin County, concerns a grown-up misfit who has never outlived his teen-age enthusiasm for collecting milk bottle caps and strange ideas from science fiction novels.

	Ex-Tucson filmmaker still humble about past Oscar nod \| www.azstarnet.com ®
		Dick knew there was a chance he could get nominated for an Oscar for his documentary, "Twist of Faith," but didn't bother to wake up for the broadcast announcement of the nods.
		Nevertheless, HBO executive Sheila Nevins, who had backed Dick's film, which explores the efforts of a victim of molestation by a Catholic priest to come to terms with his abuse, managed to break through security to ring Dick anyway.
		Though Dick downplays the importance of the Oscars, he says his nomination improved his visibility and has opened doors to him to the point where he can now make any of six possible projects he's considering.

	Wired 11.12: The Second Coming of Philip K. Dick
		But while Verhoeven's film was an interplanetary shoot-'em-up that bore little resemblance to Dick's story, it did retain the tale's essential ambiguity: At the end, we're not sure whether the main character actually went to Mars or only thought he did, thanks to some memory implants he bought.
		Dick had died without a will, and his estate was in probate for 11 years.
		Dick sometimes thought that history was an illusion and that the Nixon administration's dirty tricks only proved that "The Empire never ended." One wonders what he would think today.

	Study Guide for Philip K. Dick: Blade Runner (1968)
		But another theme which pervades Dick's work is more personal: an obsession with the blurring of reality, dreams and waking confused together, mechanical replicas indistinguishable from their originals, drug-induced hallucinations more real than reality.
		The film turned out to be one of the most influential pieces of SF in recent decades.
		It is characteristic of Dick's fiction that people who live in an advanced technological culture understand little of it and resort quickly to superstition and cultism.

	FILM REVIEW: Dick Flops -- Tricky it is not (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I had high hopes for the Dick, the latest in a line of politician bashing films, especially after the not-too-recent White House scandal about that woman, which should have provided plenty of fodder for the Hollywood cannon.
		Unfortunately, Dick is neither as personal as Primary Colors nor as biting as Wag the Dog, and despite the fact that it consists almost entirely of shots of two bubbly teen stars, it is nonetheless similar to its namesake: it just isn’t good enough.
		Dick himself is played rather boringly by Dan Hedaya, who, incidentally, played Trini Cardoza in the 1995 film Nixon.

		In truth, Philip K Dick's list of important work ('The Three Stigmata Of Palmer Eldrich', 'The Transmigration Of Timothy Archer', 'The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike') is almost as long as the list of contributors to Mark Steensland's excellent documentary.
		Dick claims to have had contact with a force beyond Earth, called Zebra, at first (then Valis).
		Dick himself also comments upon his 'mystical experiences' (animation accompanying archive interview material) and his welcome presence helps to illustrate that, unlike writer Whitley Streiber (whose belief that he was abducted by aliens smacked of an attempt to shift more copies of 'Communion'), Dick sincerely thought that something extraordinary had happened to him.

	gospel according to philip k. dick - film review for zone-sf.com
		The film takes as its starting point the break-in during 1971 around which PKD spun a variety of theories of varying degrees of paranoia - its was the FBI, or the CIA, or the KGB, or (more likely) drug addicts looking to steal some dope from the well-known hippie and drug user.
		The break-in and subsequent events lead eventually to Dick's psychedelic revelation in 1974, when either an orbiting intelligence beamed images into his mind, or (more likely) a combination of underlying mental illness, stress, and the vitamins and painkillers to which he was then addicted caused an hallucinatory seizure.
		Cinematically, the film doesn't go anywhere past the talking head, and there is no attempt as a visual interpretation of Dick's experiences or his fiction.

		Unable to find suitable work, and faced with losing all their belongings, Dick and Jane turn to armed robbery to pay their bills, where they find satisfaction sticking it back to society, and renewed vigor in their drab unemployed lives.
		“Fun with Dick and Jane” is the second comedy from Carrey in recent memory in which he wants to tickle the funny bone and, at the same time, have the audience meditate on some serious issues.
		Better ideas, such as Dick’s accidental Mexican deportation, his violent attempts at greeting at the local Wal-Mart stand-in, and Jane’s volunteering for cosmetic testing are much funnier, and stay within the world that Parisot is trying to supervise.

		It is inspired by the life of Byck, a salesman whose emotional disintegration is the centrepiece of the film.
		Mueller was able to mine the transcripts of Byck's tapes as a basis for his film, which artfully blends fact with fiction.
		The spirit of Byck - or Bicke, in the film - is of a lonely guy whose separation from his wife and children, as well as his lack of career success, has conspired to create a sense of powerlessness that ultimately leads him to a violent act of desperation.
