We Can Remember It For You Wholesale





Today, I read the original inspiration for the 90's sci-fi flick Total Recall with Schwarzenegger and loved it equally as much as the movie.

The movie expands greatly upon the very short story written by Philip K. Dick, and does justice to the loose ends he left. In the short story he never actually returns to mars to seek out the truth of his secret mission; he instead turns himself in to discover the truth of his past and to avoid any further damage or confusion in his life. The ending to the short story is very cool though, but would have been impossible to include in the plot of the movie.

Read it.

Nolan,

The A.S. picture you put up is extremely enticing. Desire to watch Total Recall has completely consumed me. Hurry home my love, hurry home.
