Scanner Darkly may be my favorite PKD work.

I love the "what does a scanner see?" monologue.

“What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can't any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone's sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we'll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too.”

Nice and bleak.

I feel like Hakstol recites this into the mirror every morning right after brushing his teeth and feathering his hair.

Did you switch from basketball shorts? I can't believe anything could be more comfortable, but I'm listening.

Yup. They're great. Especially in weather like today when it's a little breezy. Keeps the extremities warm while letting the legs breathe a little bit.

Basketball shorts to lounge around in the house? Pfft. Board shorts. Board shorts all day long.
I read through three pages on this thread and forgot everything else I was going to contribute to except for boardshorts.
I remember something now lol. I love Blade Runner but it can be a bit slow. It's definitely not a movie I can put on in bed, but can have on during the day. Daryll Hannah's character meeting the toy maker is one part that I get lost at though. I don't know if it's supposed to show her child like innocence or if there's more to it, but meh.

I love board shorts until it comes time to pee. The velcro bothers me.

Yeah that's where it goes flat for me too, until the final confrontation between Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford.

The desktop version of the new HFBoards is much better than the Mobile.

Anyone with me on that?

I don't use the mobile version, but there are a lot of aspects to the new desktop version that I like. It's not very pleasant to look at with this sort of gradeschool font and the crazy racist background, but a lot of the features are good. I tried that Dark Reader extension and it was great on here, but it changed all the other million tabs I have open as well and it was just too much. I don't really need the porn to be dark, know'msayin'?

Most of us are getting upset about Hakstok's lineup decisions tonight, so I am going to leave this mood enhancer here.
From the Liverpool forum, in a thread entitled "Work Mates That You Can't Stand":

"Two dirty bastards in work don't flush the toilet after they've been for a burst."

I had to wait for season 3 on amazon because I got behind on my psvue DVR and they disappeared. But I binged watched the last 6 episodes of season 3. Last 2 episodes were fantastic. Pay attention to the final scenes of the season 3 episode
I have only seen the season opening of season 4
