Does anybody know if this has anything to do with the Stephen King novel of the same name? Unless someone says this is insanely amazing, I'll probably see it on video. I just saw Memento, and it was really good, but it made me think too much. I don't like that.

PKD is the MAN. I don't understand why I like the guy's work so much. Generally speaking, I HATE books/flims/stories that are confusing and don't make a lot of sense. PKD is ALL ABOUT being confusing and not making much sense, and yet his stories and books RULE. He's one of my favorite SF authors now. So I'll see this definitely. It's probably the only movie on this list (besides Star Wars) that I'll go out of my way to see in the theater.

This might be a "must see" for me, but I don't know yet. I'll wait until some other people see it and see how they react.

The previews for this have been in theaters for months already. I'm already sick of the teasers. I like M. and I like Mel, but this is another "wait and see" for me.
