   @PonyPanda @kf01 @Saber @coolboymew He was also the schizophrenic mystic who gave us Minority Report & Blade Runner.
   
   Truly great artists & prophets are often severely flawed / tortured people.

     @TrevorGoodchild @BarelyEagle @MelGibsonafter4Beers @PonyPanda @kf01 @Saber @coolboymew "I saw a segment of Douglas Trumbull's special effects for 'Blade Runner' on the KNBC-TV news. I recognized it immediately. It was my own interior world. They caught it perfectly."

     @MelGibsonafter4Beers @PonyPanda @kf01 @Saber @coolboymew I read “truly great artists & prophets *have* often severely tortured people“
     
     which of course reminds me of @TrevorGoodchild a PKD acolyte

     @BarelyEagle @MelGibsonafter4Beers @PonyPanda @kf01 @Saber @coolboymew I am extremely peaceful, and he was a great writer. He died four months before 'Blade Runner' was released in 1982. I think he would have liked the director's cut.

     @Fitzcarraldo @TrevorGoodchild @BarelyEagle @PonyPanda @kf01 @Saber @coolboymew A 40 year old movie with no CGI has aged better than films 1/4 it's age, pretty amazing considering the development hell.

     @TrevorGoodchild @BarelyEagle @PonyPanda @kf01 @Saber @coolboymew He was one of the last authors to write genuinely prophetic science fiction. But science fiction is only fictitious until it becomes a reality, no?
