Total Recall (2012)

Total Recall came out in 1990 and hit the bad movie Venn diagram sweet spot of "Movies with Arnold Schwarznegger" and "movies based on Phillip K Dick stories" which is sad because I always want movies based on PKD stories to be good.

I just saw a trailer for the trailer for a new Total Recall with Colin Farell on YouTube yesterday:

I'm hoping this one will be good. According to IMDB, the Governator is not in the cast on this one:

PS: Maybe there'll be a poster for the poster right before it comes out...

While I was prepping the sets for Tremors in a warehouse in Santa Clarita, they were prepping the sets for Total Recall in the bay next to ours. I have pictures of the futuristic mars cars.

i'm sure this will be better in the new version with cgi and all.

Pretty much the same, although I think I like the first version better, myself. It's interesting that these are getting to be like Greek plays (or Shakespeare, I guess): you know the story, you just go to see how this particular production brings it to life (or not).

Great.

Right now I'm reading a story by Kate Wilhelm about deja vu. And now everything DM says is giving me that very sense. Am I imagining it, or is DM repeating himself?

And now I'm having flashbacks to 'Nam, to the time my platoon was trying to take this Spanish fort, only there were so many bullets flying, and I asked my caddy, "Is that gun repeating itself?" and she said, "Of course it's repeating itself! It's a gatling gun!"

It's like reading this PDK novel: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://books.google.com/books/about/Martian_Time_Slip.html?id=Z4o14w17A7MC">http://books.google.com/books/about/Mar ... o14w17A7MC</a><!-- m -->
