No, no I am not. But you need this more than I do, apparently, so whatever. I'm done.

Removing sub-plots != not keeping the plot.

There were so many big (and imo significant) chunks of DADOES plot left out in Blade Runner, in the end it's practically a matter of opinion whether you see it as "based on" or "inspired by".
To be honest I can't say which is my opinion. Love them both, though.

They say the same thing about Lord of the Rings.

Anything that removes Tom Bombadil can only be an improvement. Also, the singing. The constant, fucking singing.
I do love how that Blade Runner synopsis reads like a fairly tightly-scripted movie with an antihero protagonist that explores interesting questions, whereas the PKD story synopsis reads like a choose-your-own-adventure with head trauma with a 'midlife-crisis schlub' protagonist that explores interesting questions. PKD stuff is weird.

NO YOU CAN'T CUT IT OUT IF IT'S IN THE FUCKING BOOK?!?! hOW CAN IT BE AN ADAPTATION IF IT'S IN THE FUCKING BOOK AND NOT IN THE MOVIE?!?>!?!?! TOM BOMBADIL IS DEEP IN THE TOLKIEN MYTHOS, IF YOU COULD FUCKING READ YOU'D KNOW THAT. GIVE HIS LINES TO TREEBEARD MAKES NO SENSE!! THAT'S NOT HOW ENTS WORK. CHRIST!! THE LANGUAGE OF THE SONGS IS PART OF THE DEEP LINGUISTICS OF ANCIENT TRADITION AND SOUL OF THE WORK, YOU AND YOUR HOLLYWWOD BULLSHIT CAN GO FUCK ITSELF.
FARAMIR PICKS UP THE RING?!?!? FUCK YOU JACKSONNNN AND YOUR WHORESS DiEEEE!!!
....
Sorry, I blacked out for a moment then. I was reading this thing where hardcore Tolkien fans think they can sockpuppet actual people to express their views, since they're so annoying they've been banned from half the internet. Frankly I think they're nuts.
Anyway, yeah PKD knows how to meander. That's part of his charm though I guess.

Is Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead based on Hamlet?
