He also sucks the life out of nearly every role he's cast in (the one pictured above being a rare exception.) The guy is a walking void of charisma, and I avoid his movies due to the simple fact that they're made worse by his involvement.

    Edge of tomorrow - he is fine in that perfect movie
    Tropic Thunder - he is hilarious
    rain man
    the last samurai
    minority report
    magnolia - perfect fit for the role

    You should read "all you need is kill". Edge of tomorrow butchered the book. The same happens with Minority Report.

    No one makes Philip K Dick movies that are true to the book, but they often make interesting movies inspired by the book.

    It always bugs me when they make one of his books into a movie because there never is a reason to cut the important parts out. I would understand if the books were long, or had concepts that are too difficult to bring to the screen. Instead its cut because no one wants movies you have to think about.

    You're right there - too complex, too much thinking, a bit weird.

    The one silver lining I guess is that when people say "you really should read the book" with PKD stories they end up being so different that they really feal like a different story. They tend to not have the Green Lantern Effect where the movie ruins the original story for you.

    Yeah, spoilers don't quite work because he is always so out there! They took some little different thing and ran with that instead of the full crazy. I feel like Terry Gilliam would have made good PKD movies. He gets insanity.
