lauralhMaze of Death
Definitely one of the worst PKD books I've read, but still decent, especially with the ending. Ending made up for a lot. Not sure if the whole rest of it made up for it, but possibly. I really enjoyed the double-twist, though. And I can say no more.
Highlight to read: Basically the whole group of people is sent to this "colony", Delmak-O, and are not told why. And the group begins dying, one at a time. It's finally revealed that they're actually insane inmates in an Earth Asylum, and the fact that they keep killing each other is proof of their psychopathy. But that's not actually the truth either. Whee.

Wanted to see this for ages, finally sat down and got to it. It's the remake of Othello, with Julia Stiles and Josh Hartnett (regrettably as Iago/Hugo). It wasn't bad, but the Branaugh version was of course far superior. I don't think it's that great of a play/plot, though, so you gotta deal with that anyway. Also, I'm not all that crazy about basketball, so that bit was blah. However the sex scene was tight. Off the hook. And I realize I'm twisted, since it ended up turning to rape more or less, but it was just sexy as hell aside from that. Or maybe because of that. Haha.Christ I need to get laid.
I also attempted to watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but oh well.
